I had been home for about two hours when I heard Scotty come in. I looked over at the clock on my bed and noticed that it was only 4:30 pm. "Mom! I'm home!" I heard Scotty. "Ashley?" Scotty knocked on the door. I ignored him. "You alright?" I ignored him again. "Well, I'm going to the sandlot since its cooler now and it isn't dark. Wanna come?" He asked but yet again, I ignored him. I heard him sigh and walk away. I sighed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I got out of the shower 10 minutes and I put on my dark wash skinny jeans, a light blue crop top. It showed my belly button and my black and white converse. I tied my hair up and I grabbed my backpack and I put my glove in it. "Mom, I'm leaving." I yelled. I walked out the door and I walked to the sandlot.
Once I got there I saw all the guys playing. I walked over to the dugout and sat down. "Hey. Look who it is!" Squints yelled. I looked over at the guys as they all looked at me. I sighed and looked down. Then, I heard someone running up to me. I looked up and I saw Benny. "You okay?" He asked. I looked away from him and tried to hide my tears. He sat next to me and looked at me again but I looked away. "Benny, come on were playing!" Ham yelled. "Not now! I'll be there in a minute." Benny yelled back. I heard some chattering and they started playing. "Are you okay?" He asked again. I looked over to my right when a tear slide down. I quickly wipped it away and said quitly, "I'm fine." Benny walked over to the right side of me and said, "No your not. Your crying." I looked ahead. "What's wrong?" I sighed. Its now or never. "Benny, I- I didn't like when you- when you were checking out the- the lifegaurd today." I studdered, still looking ahead. "Huh? Why not?" I sighed. "Because- because it hurt me." I said. I was speaking nothing but the truth to him right now. "It hurt you?" He asked.
"Yes it did." I said. "Well... why?" He asked again. "Because- because-" I stood up with another tear falling down my face and I yelled, "I like you okay?!?!" I heard the guys stop talking. Uh-oh. Benny looked shocked. I heard whispering around me and I looked back at the boys and they all stopped and looked at me. "Wait what?" Benny said and stood up. I sighed. "I like you Benny, a lot." He shook his head. I looked down and I just let the tears fall down. It was now around 6 pm and the sun was going down a little. I sighed. "It was a bad idea to come here." I said. I grabbed my backpack and started walking away. I heard him scoff. I crossed my arms and I let the tears fall. "Why are you walking away?" Benny asked. I looked back at him and I let my arms drop to the side. "Because. I want to leave. I don't want to see you or hear the guys laughing at me." I cried. He walked to me and and then stood infront of me. He looked down at me while I was just looking at the floor. "Hey, look at me." I sighed and looked at him. Then he smiled. "I was looking at Wendy today but she didn't compare to you. You looked amazing today. So sexy-- I mean beautiful. You always look beautiful." He said. I looked at him shocked. "What?" I said in disbelief. "I like you too Ashley." He smiled at me. OMG. Is this really happeneing? YES! AHHH. "You do? But I'm not like those girls at the pool. I love baseball and dirty converese and hanging out with boys and--" He kissed me. Omg he kissed me. I closed my eyes and I kissed him back. I dropped my backpack on the floor and I put my arms around him. I smiled into the kiss and he put his arms around my waist. "Woah!" We heard the guys say. I pulled away. I was standing on my toes. I looked up at him and smiled and bite my lip. "Ashley, would you like to be my girfriend?" He smiled at me. I smiled wide and looked at him. "Yes Benny. I would love to be your girlfriend." "Cool." He said and kissed me again.
