Who says you're not perfect?

Chapter 3

Tyler's POV
I knew that Scotty wouldn't stop bugging me about going to play baseball with him. After all he did need friends. So I moved outta the way and he fell face first onto the floor.

I saw Benny stand there like an oaf and stare at me. "Why are you here?" I said. He just stood there and said "W-well I wanted to know if you guys would want to go play some ball with me and some guys?" He said giving me a crooked smile.

I rolled my eyes and agreed since I had nothing better to do. But to be honest I'd rather had safety pins stuck into my eyes than have to hang out with this doof. We arrived at Vincent's drug store. "We're playing ball here?!" I scoffed. "No I want you to meet the gang before we play!" He suggested although it sounded more like a command, but who in this stinking world gives a shit about Benny?

There were all types of guys fat,skinny,short,and tall but I didn't care. They all stare at me and I give them dirty looks to make them stop their staring.

There was this red headed kid had something in his mouth I couldn't really see what it was and said "I'm the gweat bwambino!"

We all looked at him like he was crazy. "What?!" We exclaimed.

"I'm the gweat bwambino !" He repeated.

"What?!"

He took the cigarette like thing outta his mouth and said "I'm the great bambino!"

"Oh!" We all said relived

But as if he was trying to ruin the so called friendship between these guys he said "Who's that?"

"What?" They all said

"What did he say?" Said the red headed kid.

"What, were you born in a barn man?" Some other kid said

"Yeah, what planet are you from?" Said another.

"You never heard of the Sultan Of Swat?"

"The Titan of terror?"

"The colossus of clouts?"

"The colossus of clouts." repeated another.

"The king of crash man."

The next thing I knew he saved his own ass and lied.

"Oh yeah, The Great Bambino. Of course. I thought you said 'The Great Bambi'."

The red headed kid then spoke up "That wimpy dear?!"

"Yeah. I guess. Sorry. " I felt bad for him because I knew he knew nothing about The Great Bambino.

"Anyway Scotty, that's Timmy and Tommy Timmons." he said changing the subject. The two kids spit after their name.

"Mike 'Squints' Palledourous" spit

"Allan McClellan--we call him yeah-yeah--" spit

"Bertram Grover Weeks" spit

"Kenny DeNunez and Hamilton Porter we call him Ham. " They both spit

"Guys this is Tyler and Scotty Smalls." He said

"They're gonna play with us. Now we have 10 players and an extra. "

"Yeah-yeah so would my sister but I didn't bring her didn't I?" Said the Yeah Yeah kid.

I rolled my eyes and I spoke up and said "Trust me I didn't want to come with this douchebag. " I said motioning to Benny.

I heard "oohs" and "burned" by the whole group of boys. I saw Benny through the corner of my eye and he was all red. "Awe is someone upset that they got treated?" I said in a stupid voice. "no and I thought you liked me!" I smiled and said "Oh hon I don't like any boys at all. sorry" he ignored my last comment and we walked to the sandlot.

A gang of guys on bicycles came in. "Oh shit!" Said Benny "Get behind me Tyler!" He said. i did as I was told.

"Well,well,well the losers are still playing baseball!" Said the kid named "Phillips".

"Get outta here Phillips!" Retorted Benny.

"Now who's this pretty lady behind ya Benny?" He said motioning to me.

"Leave her alone Phillips she doesn't like you!" Said Ham.

He left but the last thing he said didn't scare me at all. "You'll be ever sorry you messed with me darling !" And just left without a word.
