Choices // The Sandlot

17; new friends = fantastic talks

a/n: I'm so tired I just need to sleep. I want sleep. I feel like my last chapter was crap. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry I made a love triangle. Those are the most aggravating aren't they. People always hate when love triangles start between the top two ships. Phelia or Bemelia. Those are crappy ship names. I apologize. Seriously though. Anyways if I didn't start the triangle this story would of been close to ending but I still got a lot to work off of now so enjoy!. lots of love, ash❤️❤️

I walked out of the school. I hated going nowadays. Thanksgiving had passed a week ago already so we were back in school which meant my break from the stupid triangle I have been in for the past two months was back in my business.

The whole school also seemed to know about the damn thing now and they all are rooting for their favorite couple. It's mostly even between the two of who I end up with but I still can't choose because I still don't know who I love more.

"Oh my Gosh I'm so sorry" I said as I bumped into a girl with a light pink dress on and a white sweater. I couldn't help but notice the white Chucks that were on her feet. What an odd mix. I like it.

"It's okay, I wasn't looking. I just wanted to get out of here as fast as I could" she said as I handed her the books she dropped.

"Me too, you new here?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah today was my first day, to be honest I really don't like it" she said and I nodded.

"Lived here almost all my life and trust me I really don't like it either" I said and she chuckled.

"I'm a struggle bus" she said and I gave her a confused look.

"Struggle bus?" I asked and she blushed.

"I'm sorry that must not be a saying around here or it might just be me saying weird things" she said and I laughed.

"Don't worry, I've come up with some weird things before too" I said and she furrowed her eyebrows together.

"Like what?" she asked and I chuckled.

"Doughnut squares, don't ask me how or why but it just happened. I was playing ball and it hit me in the shin full speed and it just fell out of my mouth and now I'm stuck with it" I said and she smiled.

"You play ball, me too!" she exclaimed and I smiled.

"Oh wow your like the first girl I ever met to know how" I said and she nodded.

"Yeah, sorry to leave so soon but I don't want to miss the bus" she said and I shook my head.

"Don't worry I will drive you" I said and she smiled.

"Wow thanks!" she said and I nodded.

"Amelia!?" I heard Phillips voice shout from behind me. I quickly grabbed her wrist and dragged her to my car. I wasn't dealing with it.

"What was that?" she asked as we slid into the car.

"Love triangle, I'm way to tired at the age of 17" I said and she nodded.

"Oh wow, I'm Auden by the way. If you would like to talk about it we can at my house" she said and I smiled at her.

"I'm Amelia and that sounds great" I said and she clapped her hands as I started the car and followed the directions she gave me.

"Mom I have a new friend over, we will be upstairs!" she yelled once we walked into the small red house.

"Okay Hun!" her mothers voice traveled back and Auden guided me upstairs to her room.

"Sorry it's a mess, were still unpacking" she said and I nodded.

"It's okay, as long as we can talk. I have no one to really talk to anymore" I said and she nodded as I sat on her bed.

"Well start with the love triangle, what's up with that?" she asked and I sighed.

"I loved this boy and he broke my heart so I got over him well at least thought I did and fell in love with another boy and now the one I loved claims he loves me and the other won't say he loves me back but he has the feelings and now they're making me choose who I love more, if that makes any sense" I said and she widened her eyes.

"Oh wow that's a big pickle to be in" she said and I nodded.

"I mean the boy I loved we used to talk so well and I would do anything for him because of how much I loved him but we can barely talk now and the guy I think I love now won't even say he loves me back yet is the one who is making me choose between them" I said and she nodded absorbing the new information.

"Sometimes I wish that they felt my pain, I don't know who I love and its been two months and it's just so tiring going back and forth and I'm sick of it. No one likes a triangle" I said and she nodded.

"Triangles are pretty annoying" she said and I chuckled.

"Well if it makes you feel any better my boyfriend cheated on me. We were together for years and just like that. Whoosh I found him in bed with my friend Maggie" she said sitting next to me on the bed.

"We're a mess aren't we?" I asked and she nodded.

"Well how about this, I suggest you pretend the triangle and the relationships never happened. Act like you would have around them before all of this and life will tell you whose the one. Trust me you will know" she said and I smiled.

"So I just act like I would if things were normal between us?" I asked and she nodded.

"Once you do things might be a little clearer" she said and I smiled.

"New friends = fantastic talks" I said and she smiled before quickly hugging me.

"Now go put my theory to the test, I will see you at school tomorrow" she said and I nodded as I ran out the house and went to the sandlot.

Step 1 fall back into normal routine, before this whole mess happened. Don't be weird. Act natural and have fun. Auden's right. I can feel it. She knows what she is talking about. I could only hope but like I said before. Hopes for suckers.

"Hey guys lets play some ball" I shouted and just like that we got into a game. No questions asked. This was great. I haven't felt so free like this for a while. The game lasted until dusk. We collected our stuff before walking off the field.

"So are we doing a night adventure tonight?" I asked as I walked next to Benny and he looked at me confused before letting it go.

"Of course, see you at 10"

Step 1 check.

Step 2 bring it on.
