sandlot imagines.

yeah-yeah.

i hurried to grab the phone and turn the correct numbers to call y/n.
seeing her rushing out of the theaters with teary eyes had raised urgency inside of me.
though i knew she was hurting,
i couldn't help but wonder if maybe her and danny had finally broken up.
which meant i could eventually tell her exactly how i felt after all this time silently pining after her.
"you're gonna do it?"
ham asked to my left,
throwing the ball in the air.
i quickly shook my head,
"yeah, yeah!"
"hello?"
she spoke,
her voice coated with aggravation.
"hey, hey. you okay?"
i asked as i began i tap my foot on the floor nervously.
"yeah, fine. danny just got mad at me and whatever."
she sighed heavily.
"you two broke up then?"
"...yeah."
i could only hope what i was about to say would cheer her up.
"can i tell you something then?"
i asked.
ham and scott soon gathered around my feet while benny stood in the corner.
their eyes were burning holes through me,
making me more nervous than i already was.
"yeah. what's up?"
"i like you. a lot. yeah, yeah and i want to date you, basically."
i shut my eyes close in embarrassment,
mentally cursing myself for being so bad with words.
the silence grew on the phone,
before i heard her giggle.
"really?"
as i bit my bottom lip,
i mumbled a small,
"mhm."
"i like you a lot too. that's why danny and i broke up, you know?"
"seriously?"
"mhm. said i was too involved with you."
"well, do-do you? want to be involved with me, i mean?"
"obviously."
she breathed out with a sheepish laugh.
the boys inched closer to hear our conversation.
my heart raced with the purest form of joy.
i used my palm to cover the bottom end of the phone,
"she said yes!"
cheers filled the room,
making me laugh loudly along with them.
"you just told everyone, didn't you?"
y/n giggled once i returned to the conversation.
"i'm sorry couldn't help it."
"i know."

after an hour or two of being on the phone with my new girlfriend,
i laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling in disbelief.
after years of longing for the girl,
she was finally mine.
she was my girlfriend.
the revelation made my heart beat rapidly,
and my limbs fill with nerves.
"he's swooning!"
squints teased with a mocking laugh.
"shut up!"
i tried my hardest to be threatening,
but i couldn't fight the smile pulling at my lips.
because it was true after all,
i was swooning.
and as i soon closed my eyes for the night,
i dreamt of the girl i was finally blessed with.
