Eyes On You // Benny Rodriguez

Part 4

I woke up and the house was silent.

I looked at my alarm clock on my bedside table and it was only 7:30. I guess this is what I get for going to bed early

I got up anyway and changed and went downstairs

To no surprise no one was up yet. I went outside on the front doorstep so I wouldn't wake up anyone, also because I wanted to watch the end of the sun rise.

I started hearing footsteps approaching me. I looked up, it was Benny

"Hey there neighbor" he said

"Hey Benny" I said back "I didn't realize you lived so close"

"Yeah" he said "Just right there" he pointed to his house. "What are you doing out here anyway"?

"nothing really" I said "My family isn't up yet so I didn't want to bug them"

"Well I'm heading over to the sandlot, wanna come"? he asked

"Yeah sure" I said "wait here"

I went back inside and grabbed a piece of paper and pen and wrote on it

At the sandlot, Scotty can come when he wakes up - y/n

I put the paper on the table and grabbed my glove and went back outside

"Ok, ready" I said

Benny smiled "Let's roll"

"Scotty will come when he wakes up" I said "Well if that's ok"

"Of course" he said "the more the better"

I smiled. We walked and talked until we got to the sandlot. When we got there the other boys were sitting in the dugout

"Hey y/n, your back"! one of the boys said

"I'm back" I replied

"Ok y/n since you're probably gonna be here more now let me introduce you to everyone" Benny said

I liked when he said that I was going to be here more, I think I may have blushed a bit

"That's Timmy and Tommy Timmons" he said pointing to two boys, they both spit on the ground

"Michael 'Squints' Palledorous" he pointed to the kid with glasses, he spit on the ground

"Alan McClennan, we call him Yeah-Yeah" He spit on the ground

"Bertram Grover Weeks" he spit on the ground

"Kenny DeNunez, and Hamilton Porter" They both spit on the ground "We call him Ham"

"Guys this is Y/n L/n as you already know"

Squints spit on the ground again

"Nice to meet you all" I said

"Yeah so, she's going to play with us, now we got nine" Benny said

"Good, so Smalls isn't coming then" Squints said a bit excited

I looked at him and gave him a look "He should be coming later"

Squints looked down "Great"

"Hey, I know he is not the best but he has been improving a bit, he can throw and catch now" I said

"He better" Squints said

I rolled my eyes

"Well Squints at least we have her then" Benny said pointing the bat at me
