The Baseball Girl

And the Brother is Here!

   All five of us walked through the Seido campus to the baseball fields in the back.  Half way there I heard a high pitched yelling.

   "Adi~!" A voice yelled.  A familiar voice too.  I looked around in bewilderment.  "I'm not the only one that heard that right?" I asked my companions.  They shook their heads in response looking just as confused as I was.

   "Adi~!" The voice sounded again.  I looked around again trying to identify the voice in my head.  Then it clicked. Loke.

   "Shit!" I yelled as I began to sprint towards the school buildings.  I didn't listen to everyone calling my name as I slammed into the building running up to hide in my math classroom. Loke hated math, he wouldn't come here.

   I sat there for about ten minutes before I heard the voice again. "Adi~! Where are you?" He yelled.  I froze but then sprinted back out of the classroom.

   I heard thundering footsteps running after me.  "Adi! Stop running from meeee!" He whined.  I didn't answer as I jumped down a couple flights of stairs and landed in a crouch at the bottom.

   "How the hell can you do that!?" He yelled at me from the top floor.  I smirked up at him and took off.  I heard him heavily thunder down the stairs after me.

   I broke out of the building and ran to the fields, quite aware that he was gaining on me. Damn his long legs.

   I ran onto the field where some of the kids are getting ready for night practice.  I guess I was hiding for longer than I thought because Miyuki, Kuramochi, and Yuki were all dressed up in their uniforms and practicing.

   "STOP RUNNING ADI!" Loke tried to command me.  "NEVER!" was my eloquent response.  I began to run towards Yuki who was swinging his bat.  I ducked under as he swung and did a classic hook slide with his foot.

   Yuki released his bat in surprise and it almost hit Miyuki, who was watching it all with curiosity.  I jumped up and hid behind Yuki as my brother finally came into veiw.

   Loke was a giant.  He towered over most people at 6' 9" and was extremely muscular from a few years in the pros.  His light brown hair and electric blue eyes were a reflection of my own.  An exasperated look plastered on his face, temporarily replacing his usual mischievous smirk. He wore dirty jeans, an old baseball jersey from an old high school team ( a shirt I have stolen multiple times) and high top sneakers, looking just like my brother from America.

   "Promise me you won't crush me like always?" I cautiously questioned from behind Yuki, who stood in front of me protectively.  Loke scoffed at me.

   "I don't always crush you." Loke indignantly answered.  He closed his eyes and stuck his tongue out at me childishly. While he was distracted I snuck out from behind Yuki and tackle hugged.  He let out a surprised, girly sqeaul as we landed in the dirt with a thud.

   "What the-?" Coach suddenly said from nowhere. I jumped a little and pulled away slightly from my brother. "Oh, I see.  He's been here for most of the day, quite distressed that you weren't here.  It was quite annoy- I mean pleasant." Coach said with a fake smile.

   Jun suddenly appeared and glared at me  a little. "One American is enough but two is even worse especially this one." Jun growled jabbing his thumb at Loke.  I laughed at him.

   "Shorty? Is that you?" Another familiar voice sounded.  I looked up to see Johnny, my brothers catcher.  I grinned as I stared up at him.

   He sheepishly scratched the back of his neck. "We thought since today was your day off we would stop by but you weren't here so idiot over there thought it would be fun to wait for you so we kinda did.  All your friends kept challenging him especially that idiotic loud mouth kid, what ever his name was." Johnny grumbled moodily.
