Lets play some ball!

Start from the beginning
                                        

Suddenly I saw Benny walking out from behind me shaking his head.

I heard the boys behind me making fun of the wimpy kid. I couldn't help it, so I turned around.

"What a wimp!" Yelled Ham

"He's definitely a nerd, for sure!" Laughed Bertram.

"Shut it you egg heads!" I yelled giving them a short but deadly stare.

The boys grew silent. Benny seemed to have heard me cause when I turned around he was smiling at me.

I smiled back and ran over to Benny and the boy.

"Don't listen to them, they don't know what there talking about." said Benny.

The kid just looked down at his shoes.
I placed my hand on the boys shoulder..

"Listen, we weren't all good at playing as soon as we felt like it. It took practice." I said in a comforting voice.

Benny met eyes with me and shook his head agreeing.

"Listen, what's your name?" Rodriquez asked.

"Scotty Smalls" the boy replied squinting his eyes from the bright sun.

"Scotty smalls huh..." Benny said.

Smalls only took a glance at the boys watching us from afar.

"I'm Benny Rodriguez, and this is y/n y/l/n."

"How about you come and play ball with us tomorrow at eight?" Asked Benny.

"Yeah!" I agreed happily.

"Oh no, no, no... You saw me, I can't play. I'm a geek, sports aren't for me." Said smalls looking all gloomy again.

"We could teach you!" I said pushing for a yes.

"Yeah! You'd be playing ball like anybody else on this field in no time!"

Benny looked at me smiling before turning his head back to smalls.

"I mean... if you really wouldn't mind." Smalls said.

"Okay! We'll meet here tomorrow at eight." I said looking at Rodriquez for agreement.

He nods looking back at Smalls. "Cya later man!" Benny says before grabbing my arm taking me back to the bases.

"See you tomorrow Smalls!" I yelled before yanking my arm back from Benny.

Benny looked at me, "what?! Can I not walk myself?!" I yelled.

"I didn't say nonthin" he said putting his hands in the air declaring peace.

I watched as Smalls ran out of the sandlot and around the corner.

                         ~At 6pm~

We'd been playing for hours nonstop. I'm so worn out, and I'm hungry. I didn't eat anything all day I thought.

"I'm tired Benny!" Yelled Squints.

"And I'm hungry, want me to starve?!" Yelled Ham.

"Yeah, yeah! I wanna eat somethin!" Yelled Yeah-yeah.

"C'mon guys one more time!" Said Rodriquez trying to get us out of the dugout.

"Ugh!" Yelled Ham.

All the boys walked out to the field groaning. 
I just followed behind, I went to left center.

I didn't feel to good, I felt dizzy. The world felt as if it was spinning when..

"Y/n!" Yelled the boys.
