I need you

Pt.2 bestfriends

We walked the rest of the way to her house laughing with our arms linked

We were walking cliches but we didn't care

Because other than Jordan Wendy was my best friend

And don't get me wrong Phillips is an amazing friend

But I loved having Wendy as my friend it was nice to be around a girl once in a while

Since I mostly played baseball I only really hung out with the tigers

But they weren't girls and it always felt a little weird being myself

But with Wendy I didn't give a shit how I acted

She's seen me cry, vomit, walk into walls she's seen me when I get up

This girl has seen me doing the most weird wheeze laugh ever

I don't think anything I did would phase her at this point

And that's just how I liked it

We made it to her house and calmed ourselves down before walking in

"Hey mrs.preffercorn how are you?" I greeted her mom who was in the kitchen

"Oh I'm doing great y/n thank you for asking" she responded happy

"Now what's got you two all giddy was it a boy?" She smiled and we chuckled

"No mom y/n did something dumb so we were making jokes" Wendy explained

She hopped onto the counter and I grabbed a coke from their fridge

"Wendy off the counter I just wiped it" her mom complained

"Okay well me and y/n were going to my room anyways" she hops off the counter

We both walked up the stairs to her bedroom

She jumped on her bed sprawling her limbs

I just sat in her desk chair with my legs propped against her desk

There was a baseball on the desk so I just started throwing it into the air and catching it

"This is boring why did we choose my house there's nothing to do!" Wendy groaned

"Because at mine we can't be alone for two second without my parents barging in" I pointed out

"True but what can we do here?" She asked staring at her ceiling

"How about I finally teach you how to play baseball?" I suggested

She jolted up giving me a 'no way' look

I mean Wendy wasn't the most outdoorsy person so it was sort of understandable

"Fine we can't do anything here so why not" she groaned

She went to her older brothers room snatching a glove and another baseball

I quickly braided her hair back and gave her a baseball cap to wear

"Let's go" I said cheerfully

We walked down her stairs and before leaving Wendy called out

"By mom me and y/n will be back in a few hours!" And with that she closed the door and we went walking

I decided the best bet for a field would be the sandlot

Since the sandlot boys most likely would be celebrating their win today

And since the tigers would be playing like usual till 8

We walked to the sandlot which basically was the route to my house

After about ten minutes of talking and laughing we finally made it

"We are here" i said with a huge smile plastered on my face

I checked the field and there was no sign of the sandlot boys

We jogged to the dugout and placed our other stuff down on the bench

I decided my best bet was to try and teach her how to pass and catch

"Okay you want the glove to be on your none dominant hand and make sure that when you catch try to not be catching it in your palm but in the web of the mit, got it?" She nodded

I gently passed it and she missed horibbly

She ran behind and grabbed the ball before going to the same place she was before

She hesitated throwing it but winded her arm a little and chucking the ball flawlessly

I jumped a little to catch it but other than that it was a great throw

We continued passing for about half an hour

At first Wendy couldn't catch for the life of her

But after getting used to having to catch it differently than you usually would

She got the hang of it and was catching almost every pass I gave her

"Wanna learn how to bat now?" I asked and she nodded vigorously

I got my bat and went to the batters mound with her

I stood beside her and started demonstrating how she should swing

She nodded and I eventually gave her the bat

"Okay I'll do a lower pitch just focus on the ball" I told her

I did a underhand pitch and she swung to early

She grabbed the ball and threw it back to me

I did the same underhand pitch and this time she hit it but it barely moved two feet in front of her

I got the ball as it rolled closer to me and went back to the pitchers plate

Me and Wendy continued practicing her batting and by the end she wasn't half bad

She could bat decently and throw a great pass but catching definitely wasn't her strongest suit

She somehow knew how to pitch and insisted I bat a few times

I agreed happily taking the bat and getting into the right stance to bat

Wendy pitched the ball and I swung the bat hard

I heard the bat make contact with a *crack* sound

Me and Wendy both watched as the ball soared all the way to the back fence

What we didn't know was that someone else also were watching the ball sailing through the sky
