Sandlot ~ Movie Making

Bigger and better games

We were in set when the stunt coordinator came up to me.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Uh, Evans did a rewrite to the end of the movie, and since you are Bennys' love interest, you're gonna hop over the fence with him. So I need you to stay after filming to teach you what to do." He said.

"Oh, yeah sure." I said then got dressed for the scene. Tom and I walked into the house. Benny knocked on the door.

"What?" I asked.

"Night game. Come on." He said. He said Scotty and I walked out, and we ran to the Sandlot. We it was dark, so I could barely see good thing I wasn't playing. Benny hit the ball right as the fireworks started. We all stared at the sky while he ran the bases.

"Annnndddddd cut! Guys change for your next scene!" Evans said. I put on my clothes then grabbed the bat.

"Come on, Denunez!" I said. He pitched it. Crack! I hit it and ran. I got home.

"Aww no!" Squints said. I looked over, a bunch of people rode up on bikes.

"Easy, when you okay with a bunch of rejects, and a fat kid Rodriguez."

"Shut your mouth Phillips!" Benny said. I stood by him.

"Oh, and a girl." Phillips said. I walked up to him.

"You know, I really hope your not a allergic to nuts, cause I'm about to kick your up into your throat!" I said. I tried to lunge, but Benny pulled me back.

"What'd you say crap face?!"

"I said you shouldn't even be allowed to touch a baseball. Except for Rodriguez your all an insult to the game." I glared at him. Benny knew not to put me down, or I'd kick some ass. We all started yelling.

"You play ball like a girl!" Ham said.

"Okay, our field tomorrow noon." Phillips said as they rode away.

"Cut! That's a wrap guys! We've been working for hours." Evans said. The stunt coordinator came up to Mike and I.

"Okay, guys come with me. We're gonna work on your stunt. So, Mike grab Bri's hand and you both hop on the car, and climb over the fence. You run to grab the ball then climb over the fence. But don't land on your feet." He said. Mike pulled me up to the car then we hopped the fence. We tried it for a few hours until he finally said we had done it. Mike and I walked home.

"So, the stunts gonna be fun." Mike said.

"Yeah. I've gotta go get school work. Wanna come?" I asked.

"Sure. Your teachers believe you yet?" He asked.

"Nope." I said. He smiled.

I walked into Ms. Ross' room and asked for my class work.

"Here." She said. I grabbed it, and put it in my backpack. Then Mike walked me home.

"You don't have to." I told him.

"Nah, it's fine. It's on the way to mine anyway." He said.

"Well, this is it. I'll see ya tomorrow Mike." I said.

"Yeah." He said. I smiled and walked in my house. I think I like the guy. As a friend.
