\\BENNY//
Me, Squints, and Yeah-Yeah walked to the nearest convient store. I had broke our ball so we had to buy a new one. As we walked Squints started to perv on some of the near buy girls. I didn't pay much to the girls around our town. Most of them just didn't intrest yes, they're pretty, but I would like a girlfriend who knows stuff about baseball. Who plays baseball hopefully but none of the girls around town we're intrested in baseball or sports. Just the guys who played them.
As we walked around and he pointed out what he called 'Hunnies' he pointed out a red headed girl. "Hey Benny you'd probaly like her!" He said loudly. I looked over and I was not displeased, she was really pretty and was wearing a jersey.
She had red hair, paleish skin, freckles over her body, and was wearing a yankee's jersey and some ripped demin shorts. She saw us looking at her and just smiled most likely not guessing that we we're being perverts and staring at her.
Though Wendy Peffercorn distracted Squints from the red-headed girl. He started going on about her "Wendy Peffercorn..." he said acting like she was an angel. I'll never understand him. Like I said she was pretty, maybe a bit more, but she'd be prettier if she knew stuff about baseball.
I ignored him and so did Yeah-Yeah. I looked over to see the girl had went into the convient store. I stayed outside for few but, I finally got tiered of waiting for him to stop making goo goo eyes at Wendy. I walked inside the store with Yeah-Yeah or Squints noiticing. I looked around it grabbed some Big Wheat Chew. Then I looked around for any baseball's making sure they we're cheap, which they we're 1$ was all they we're. I went to grab it but as my hand went onto the baseball another hand went on top of mine. "Oh sorry"
I looked over after hearing the feminine voice and saw the girl from outside. She looked even prettier close up her pale skin seemed to glow, and the dark freckles on her face looked quite beautiful contrast, her bright ginger hair was let down into a simple straight, though pinned her bangs back out of her face, and my favorite was her glowing green eyes.
My voice got caught in the back of my throat "I-It's okay. You can have it." I said giving the baseball to her. She smiled at me showing off her teeth that we're white but she had a small gap in between her two front teeth. It was cute on her. "Thank you, my boyfriend probaly would've been mad if I hadn't brought one back with me." She said her smile somewhat fading.
Boyfriend. Of course she would have a boyfriend "Oh, your just buying it for your boyfriend?" I said almost angry. I really thought she would play. She frowned "Yeah, I like to play but he doesn't let me. Say's its not something girls should do, but don't tell him I think its BS." she said giggling a bit. I laughed a bit "I think girls can play but some of my friends think otherwise." I said thinking of some of the questionable things Ham has said over the years.
She smiled "Well thank you...I'm Betty by the way. I'm new in town, so its nice to meet a friendly person." she said happily. I smiled back at her "I'm Benjamin but my friends call me Benny." her smile faded though "You play at the Sandlot don't you..." she said rather sad. I was confused, how did she know that. I furrowed my eyebrows "Yeah, how'd you know?" I asked. She looked down "My boyfriend doesn't really like you. He said to stay away from you guys."
Her boyfriend? Stay away from us? He sounds like Phillips "Betty what's taking so long?!" I heard a angry voice. Phillips was at the end of the isle looking at Betty angrily. How'd he know her? She looked caught off gaurd "I was talking to him." she said mentioning me. He looked over at me and scoffted "Why are you talking to my girl Rodriguez?" he said going up and grabbing Betty almost protectiovly. But I could see it was an angry grab, you can't grab a girl like that.
I looked at him and then at Betty. She looked sad, embrassed, and almost scared. Why was she scared. I looked back at Phillips angry expression "She's your girl?" I asked confused. He smirked "Hell yeah she is, what wrong Rodriguez? Don't tell me you thought you'd have a chance with her." he said taunghting me. I rolled my eyes "How the hell that happened? You blackmailing her or something?" I said, Betty looked up at me shocked I said that. From the whole "He said to stay away from you guys." I'll say shes only heard his half of the story.
He laughed at my comment "No just some us who arent trash tend to get girls more often Rodriguez. Not that your loser clan would know anything about that." Betty looked up "Liam!" she said loudly. Liam? Was his first name Liam? He glared at her "What?" he growled out. I watched as she shuddered and looked down in submissiveness "Please don't talk like that..." she said quitely.
I wanted to punch Phillips. How could you one, treat a girl like this, and two someone who seemed so nice like that! He just rolled his eyes "Whatever we're done here. Come on we have to get back to pratice." he said pulling Betty away to the cashier. She looked back at me though and mouthed a 'Thank you' to me.
I felt bad for her, why would she stay with him? I grabbed a new baseball and walked to the cashier that must had already checked out. I walked out with baseball and my Big Wheat Cheat in a bad. Yeah-Yeah and Squints looked shocked for some reason "Dude! Phillips just walked out with--" "Betty on his arm I know I know." I said walking away. They ran after me "You talked to her lucky!" Squints said looking at me. I rolled my eyes "Yeah I talked to her and they're dating. Guess what?! He treats her worst then he does us." I said gripping the bag, "How you know that?" Yeah-Yeah said. "Well, she didn't say. But by the way he was acting she looked scared.
"She seemed so nice why would she be with someone like Phillips?" I asked walking back to the Sandlot. Yeah Yeah turned to me "All the girls like Phillips, around here man they either like you, or Phillips. She just happened to meet him first, despite the fact hes an asshole, girls like bad boys."
But why?
