They've hated each other since before they could spell the word. Same town. Same street. Same school. From the sandbox till now , they've been locked in an endless game of insults, eye rolls, and who-can-be-louder. But then, when they were ten-just for a second-everything shifted. It wasn't planned. It wasn't talked about. One summer night, too much quiet, too many stars, and suddenly... they almost kissed. Not because they liked each other. Not because the rivalry was gone. But because, in that moment, something between them cracked open. And then it was over. They never spoke about it. They went back to the way things were. Sharp words. Cold shoulders. Loud silences. Now they're 15. Older. Bolder. And somehow, that one second they never talk about? It's louder than ever. He looks at her like he wants to win and ruin her in the same breath. She talks to him like she hates him-but she never looks away. It's still a war. It's still personal. But every fight feels like it's covering up something they're too afraid to say out loud. Because that almost-kiss may be five years old... But the tension? It never left. And the next time their guard slips, someone might actually cross the line.

14-year-old Beth used to be very close with the sandlot kids. She was "one of the guys". But then she had to go away for a school year. When she comes back that summer, the first thing the guys notice is how she's matured. In every sense of that word. But the guys have matured a lot too. Will Beth fit right back in with the boys? Or will they no longer recognize her? What happens when new feelings are forced to come out and Beth can't handle the thought of it ruining her friendship? _____________________ "You know how to play baseball, Beth?" Benny asks me. "I'm more of a basketball kinda gal," I shrug. It's not a lie. I love basketball. I'm not the best at it but I still really like it. "Well then, Basketball Girl, I'll teach ya how to play." He smirks and tosses me the mitt. ______________________ I only own Beth and Mr. Birmingham all the rest belong to the respectful people. ______________________ I had this published a while ago with the same name and cover, but since then I've changed a lot. The names are different and now it actually has a plot. The writing is a lot better than what it was before too, so I hope that if you're a reader coming back to the new version, I sincerely hope you enjoy it better.

Benny: "The minute I was introduced to baseball I fell in love with it, thats what happened when I met you...I fell in love Ainsley Payne" Ainsley: "You talk to your mother with that mouth?" Squints: "Your a lucky man Benny, a lucky man" Two people with the same views of life are bound to get along, but what happens when it evolves into something much bigger. Something that neither of them know how to deal with? The sandlot boys all knew what would happen, but it takes Ainsley Payne and Benny Rodriguez longer to figure it out. Disclaimer* I do not own any of the sandlot characters other than Ainsley Payne, and any other characters I may add. P.s this story is under editing so feel free to point out mistakes and I will go back and try and fix them. I also type this on my phone so there will be spelling errors. P.sP.s my writhing gets better throughout the story lol

"It's all about u" A girl goes to stay with a friend for the majority of the summer. She later meets a boy who seems to be just like her. They have so much in common, they like the same sports, same music, same movies, you name it. The only thing that they never knew they had in common was their feelings for each other. #1 in "90s movie" Also I usually put memes in each chapter so if you're reading this in the future and these memes are no longer "funny" than I apologize LMAO Disclaimer: I do not own The Sandlot characters, or the one On My Block character. The only character I own is Sofia Scorfano.

COMPLETED!!! ⚠️POSSIBLE TW: MENTION OF AND ATTEMPTED ABUSE!⚠️ June and Benny have been best friends for years. They instantly became best friends when June moved in across the street from him and she started playing baseball at the sandlot. They have also had huge crushes on each other since the day they met. Though, nobody knows about it. Not even the boys at the sandlot know about it. It's weird that nobody knows about it, especially when you consider that their crushes are painfully obvious. One comment from Phillips and June's cousin Nancy, who is staying in town for the summer, make their crushes obvious to everyone. How does that happen? Well, you have to read to find out! 😉 I only own my ocs! I DO NOT own or claim to own any characters from The Sandlot movie!
