Me And The Boys

Alana

Phase one of: Get rid of the girl.

'Accidentally have baseballs come close to hitting her.' They aren't actually gonna hit her. I mean, come on I'm not that mean.

"Alright. I'm up to bat." Squints said. He winked at me. I winked back. The start of Phase one.

Laurel was in the dugout. Benny noticed our wink, but ignored it. Kenny pitched and, Oh No! It went straight to the dugout and came so close to Laurel. She screamed and ran to Benny.

"It's fine babe. Its just a baseball." He said hugging her.

"Babe?!" We all said. I clenched my jaw.

"Oh, yeah. Guys. I'm going steady with Laurel." He said. Squints dropped his bat.

"Yo-Your, what?" I asked.

"He's going out with me." Laurel said smirking. Just like she had... Alana! Stop. That's in the past now. Don't even think about it!

"Um, so anyway. Let's get back to the game." Ham said trying to make things less awkward.

"Actually, I'm gonna borrow Lana, here. Let's have a girl chat." She said grabbing my wrist and dragging me away.

"What?" I asked yanking my wrist away. Her touching me made me want to run away, but I didn't.

"You. Stay away from my boyfriend." She said. I raised my eyebrow.

"Your boyfriend. Is my best friend. And I'll hang out with him if I want to." I said. She stopped smiling and grabbed my arm. She started pushing down on it.

"Ow!" I fell to the ground gripping my arm.

"You won't tell anyone I did this. Or else worse things will happen. La La land." She said. I shivered.

"Lans!" Yeah Yeah said.

The guys ran up to me. All except Benny. He went to Laurel.

"Are you okay?" Timmy asked.

"Are you okay?" Repeat.

"Her pitching arm!" Ham exclaimed.

"Guys. I'm fine. I guess I just threw wrong earlier." I said getting up.

"Are you okay to pitch?" Kenny asked.

"Yeah, I think so." I said. I walked to pitchers mound.

I grabbed the ball. I tried to throw.

"Ow Ow ow!" I said.

"It's okay. Put the ball down." Kenny said.

"No! I can do this." I said. I took a deep breath.

"Ow! Okay, maybe I can't. I'm just gonna go sit down." I said.

I went the dugout and sat as far away as I could from Laurel.

My arm was starting to bruise really badly. At least I can move it. How did she know how to do that? After practice I started to walk home.

Benny ran after me. "Is your arm okay?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "As if you care." I said covering my arm.

"Of course I care." He said trying to see. I jerked my arm away. "Ow." I said.

"If you cared you would have come over to me while I was lying on the ground." I said.

"Well I-" he said.

"You went over to your new Girlfriend and talked to her like I was the one who hurt her." I snapped then realized what I said.
