12: Sandlot Situation

~Benny's POV~
I did it. I kissed her and I told her how I felt. It's an odd feeling and I never thought I'd experience something thing like this, all my 14 years of life, I've always loved baseball more than anything. What if this is something more than I can bare? What if I fail and hurt her? I can't change anything that's already happened, and I definitely don't regret confessing. Ill take it slow, I'm no expert but I'm willing to be with her, because I really do feel for her.

~Y/n POV~
  I woke up today feeling ever so happy, he kissed me, and he likes me, I honestly couldn't believe it.
"Y/n! Someone's at the door for you!"
I jumped out of bed and put on some jeans, my white PF flyers, and a white shirt and put my hair up in a quick messy bun. I brushed my teeth and rushed downstairs.
"Hi Benny." My heart fluttered when I met his gaze.
"Hi y/n." He gave me a smile and we were off to the sandlot. There was a comfortable silence in the way over to the sandlot.
"Ready to play ball with the guys?"
"Yup!" That's when I remembered, what are we going tell the guys? We weren't officially together but are we going to be quiet about our kiss? I didn't want to say anything to make the silence awkward so instead I remained silent.
We finally made it to the sandlot with the guys. "WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG!?"
"Yeah Yeah you guys always take forever! What gives?"
"Bet they were givin' some sugar!" Ham then made a kissing face at us. Both Benny and I rolled our eyes with a smile on our face
Little do they know that we did kiss.
I felt heat rise to my cheeks but quickly looked down before anyone noticed.
"Alright base up!" Benny took his place next to home plate to bat and I jogged to centerfield. DeNunez wound up and threw the ball, Benny hit it to right field, then he hit it again to the rest of the out field as well as the infield. We continued for about an hour until we saw three adult people enter the sandlot. They had dark grey and black suits and one of them had a brief case. I ran over to Benny with a questioning look. He looked back at me with the same expression; the rest of the gang walked up to us as we looked at each other and back at the men. They seemed to be inspecting the sandlot, they looked around the bushes, the old dugout, and the fences. One of them started walking towards us once they noticed that we were all staring at them.
"Hello there, I'm Thomas Murfey, a member of a construction company." We all looked at this guy without a real expression which seemed to make it awkward. "Um well, I'm here to start construction here to build a storage warehouse, just wanted to let ya kids know since.. you know, I'm guessing you play here?" Benny looked at me and spoke up.
"Uh yes, we play here."
"Oh good," and under his breath he said, "they talk." I heard him and I scrunched my eyebrows.
"Well anyways! Have a good rest of the afternoon and I suggest you start looking for another place to play baseball, I also suggest you start kissing this old place goodbye." He turned and left us. Once the people left we all turned to each other.
What are we going to do...
———
We decided to go to the ice cream shop and discuss the situation at hand.
"Yeah yeah, this ain't good at all."
"What are we going to do?" Bertram had a face of defeat but slight determination. Benny looked up from his ice cream Sunday and thought for a moment. "Well, they were inspecting the area, maybe we somehow made the sandlot impossible to construct on, maybe they'll leave it."
Then DeNunez said," it would work for a while but wouldn't they just clean it up in the end?" He had a point and it wasn't like we could tear the earth of the sandlot apart so that there was nothing to build on. I felt afraid, what if the sandlot was gone forever? The Tiger's team will not even allow us to step foot in their field, especially if Phillips is still their leader. My thoughts were then interrupted, "I dunno man but, I've got a bad feeling about this.." we all sighed and took a moment of silence as we ate more of our ice cream. Then an idea came to me, "what if we talked to the superiors of our town? And convince them to call of the construction? Who even needs a storage in the middle of a neighborhood?"
"Yeah yeah they can find somewhere else to build their useless storage!" We all looked at each other, we found the perfect idea. Smalls then spoke up, "and plus I was only here for one week of our summer, i haven't fully experienced the whole summer with you guys!"
"I haven't either." We got a new feeling of determination, this has to work.
———
Me, Benny, and Smalls were walking together.
"I really hope your plan works y/n."
"I hope so too." Smalls waved his good bye and left.
I looked over to Benny, "this has to work, we can't loose the sandlot."
"I really hope it does, I can't imagine loosing the one place I grew up in." I looked at him with sympathy and hugged him. He looked back and pecked my lips.
"Thank you, for being here for us."
"Of course."
It may seem like a big deal over a small sandlot, but these guys grew up here, they can't just take it away. We will fight for the sandlot.
We waved our good bye and I went upstairs to my room, got ready for bed and slept.
Let's hope this works.
