I was so mad that I just wanted to yell at Dior for hanging out with these idiots, i wanted to go rip my bat away from Benny, but another part of me couldn't stop looking at him.
I got knocked out of my trance when I heard someone yell." watch out!" Kenny yelled
I looked and saw a boy ducking as the ball came at him.
" hold on I got it." He said getting up going to grab the ball
He was wearing what looked like khakis.
" throw it back!" Ham shouted as the boy didn't know what to doBenny dropped my bat as he walked closer to the boy waiting for him to throw it. My jaw dropped when I saw him run it to Benny instead of throwing the ball. I could hear all the guys dying of laughter but I just felt bad for that poor boy. I watch as he ran right past me, noticing Benny staring at me. I roll my eyes walking up to them.
" you guys are bullies why would you laugh at that poor boy?" I said grabbing my bat from home base
" did you not see that weeny, he ran the ball back to Benny. He didn't throw it!" Ham laughed again" listen lulu I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was coming here, I just needed to do something to do right now." She said looking upset
" I totally understand Dior, I'm not mad I mean what really bad about meeting new friends exactly if it's these people." I laughed as the last part was sarcasm
" so lula are you playing with us?" Benny asked walking up to us" I mean I guess so." I said feeling my cheeks get a little warm as I looked into Benny's eyes
I saw him smirk a little as I looked away walking up to the plate.
"Get ready Lula this one's a heater." Kenny said as he got ready to pitch
" don't you worry Kenny I'll hit it." I said as I got into position
He threw a curve ball as I missed it.
" what!" I thought as I did a practice swing
" come on Lula you got this girl." Dior cheered
I watched him pitch it, I swang this time but still missed it." what the heck is going on Lula?" Ham laughed
To be honest I didn't know how to answer that because I didn't know what was wrong.
" you got it Lula just force on the ball." Benny said
Great now I was even more destracted, Benny was never nice to me why was he being nice now.
I watched as the ball went right past me. As I walked off the plate I saw the worried look on Dior's face.
" girl are you ok? You just struck out and you have never done that." Dior said as she tried stopping me from walking
" I really don't know what just happened." I said taking a seat as I watched Benny grab my bag hitting again
I was already so over today. So I got up and started walking away." Lula where are you going?" I heard Benny shot
" I just need to go clear my head keep playing I'll be back." I said as I kept walking
As I walked around the block looking at the newly bloomed flowers and the cool wind hitting my face. As I went past my house I noticed the house that has been for sale for what felt like ever was now sold. I walked up to a boy that was sitting on the front step of the house.
" hi." I said waving
" oh umm hi." The boy said shyly
" I'm your neighbor, my names Lula." I said shaking his hand
" I'm Scott smalls." He said
" you play baseball?" I asked looking down at his destroyed glove
" oh this, yeah.. I mean no I was just playing catch." He studdered" I can tell you didn't catch the ball looking at that black eye you got."I joked
" yeah I'm not that good." He said looking down
" I'm just kidding, I mean if you would like you can always come play a game with me and my friends." I said not really talking about Benny and his little gang
" I would but my glove." He said
" I'm sure one of them has an old glove they could let you use. Come on it will be fun, also the day just started so it's not like we started a game yet or anything." I said helping him upAs we walked a block back to the sandlot I could tell Scott was nervous.
" hey don't worry there all stupid anyways, if they laugh at you just laugh back at them." I said as we walked into the field.
