After the guys were done looking at the ball we were all walking back to the Sandlot. We all looked at the ruined fence. "I think we should fix this." I said. The guys nodded. "How?" Bertram asked. "My brothers can. Let me go home and ask them." Benny said. "Can I come with you Benny?" I asked. He turned back to and smiled. "Sure." After a while of walking, we were close to getting to his house. "Are you nervouse for tomorrow?" Benny asked. I sighed and looked straight ahead. "Yea I am. He is gonna kill us for what happened to that ball. I just hope he like the on Mr. Mertle gave us." I said. He nodded in agreement. We got to his house and he walked in. I stayed outside waiting for him. I turned to look back to my house and I noticed that the car wasn't there. Mom must have gone grocery shopping like she said she would this morning. After a couple of minutes, Benny and two older guys walked out the door. "So you must be Ashley. Benny's girlfriend. He is always talking about you. Its nice to meet you." They said. I smiled and shook their hands and we all walked back to the sandlot.
After like 4 or 5 hours, the fence was back up and secured onto the ground. Benny's brothers were talking to Mr. Mertle while the guys were playing ball and I was sitting at the dugout petting Hercules. "We thought wrong about you Hercules." I told him. He looked at me, breathing hard with his tounge sticking out of his mouth. I giggled. "You are not a beast, that's for sure. Your a sweet dog, mean when you want too though." He made a little noise, layed his head down and tried to cover his eyes with his paws. I laughed and I started petting/scrathing the top of his head. He seems to really this. I looked at the boys as they were enjoying their game. I smiled. Today started off crazy. Benny getting chased by Hercules, almost getting into trouble, meeting a player that use to play for the 1927 Yankees. It ended up turning out great. I looked down at Hercules as he was watching the game. I grabbed my backpack, took out my huge water bottle, I found a bowl on the floor and I poured some water for him to drink. Who knew that I would become bestfriends with 7 guys in just one summer AND get a boyfriend. I looked over at Benny while he went to go hit the ball. He looked so hot. I chuckled and Hercules looked at me. I smiled and continued patting his head.He layed his head down and let out a sigh. Hmm, maybe he wants to play too. I got out a soft ball that I had brought from home and I threw it. Hercules got up fast and chased it. I laughed when he brought it back to me. It had slobber on it. I laughed again and threw it once more. I looked over at Benny and he was looking at me with a smile. Oh that beautiful smile brings butterflies to my stomach every time!
