💕If Only We Knew💕

Matt Greyson

 "Okay, thanks mom!" I yelled getting up and putting my dish in the sink. "Did you bring a glove here with you?" I asked Matt turning around to see him starring at the television. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him. I waved my hand in front of his face braking his eyes from the screen. "Huh? What?" He asked looking at me. "Did you bring a glove with you here?" I asked again.

"Uh-..no." He responded and let out a sigh. 

"It's fine Benny always brings an extra one." I said motioning him to come with my hand.

"Ooo, Who's Benny?" He asked shutting the front door behind him. Suddenly I remembered what had happened yesterday. I could feel my heart picking up it's pace, I started feeling nervous knowing I was headed over to his house. 

"He's one of the boys I play with at the sandlot." I said giving a straight annoyed face towards Matt. Matt rolled his eye's, "Okay? I see that." He said before laughing. 

As soon as we reached Benny's porch I couldn't feel my heart beating anymore. But I surely felt this sharp feeling in my chest that made me feel anxious. Matt was about to knock when I grabbed his hand. 

Matt looked at me, "What?" He asked confused. "Don't embarrass me, okay?" I whispered. 

"Oh! I see you-" Before he finished his sentence I covered his mouth. My cheeks were burning with red. He muffled something and I couldn't make out what he was saying so I released my hand.

"you like him?" he whispered. I looked at the door, "I don't know yet.. "

Matt knew everything, He knew how my father died, how I'd never liked anyone like that since he left. Matt was someone you could just talk too and he'd listen. That's what made our friendship stronger. 

He sighed and whispered, "You going to knock or you want me to?" I nodded, "I will."

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I glanced at Matt who was starring at me with a smiled. I smiled back and quickly returned my gaze to the door when I heard the door knob turn. It opened and there stood a woman wearing a pink tank top with blue mom jeans. She smiled down at me and asked, "You must me y/n."

I nodded my head "Yeah I am. How'd you know?" I asked smiling. Benny's mom looked exactly like him, the same nose, eye brows, hair color, and eye shape. She was so pretty and tan, her smile looked exactly like Benny's. 

"Benny talks about you a lot. He says you play baseball really well." She smiled, this made me smile insanely big in the inside. 

She leaned in and whispered, "I think he may be afraid your going to be better than him at baseball." A smile grew on my face and I giggled. She giggled along and than turned to Matt.

"I've never heard about you before, who may you be?"

"Oh, I'm y/n's friend from Texas. I came to visit, ima play baseball with them today." He said smiling my way and returning his face towards Benny's mom. 

"Okay, Well nice to meet you! You guys can come on inside and I'll get Benny." She said taking one last look at me and opening the door wide. I took a breath and walked in, this was my first time being in Benny's house. 

I looked around and noticed every detail, his house was so pretty. In front of us was a wooden staircase, to the left was the kitchen. The kitchen was big and pretty, a plate of cookies sat on the counter which made the air smell of fresh made cookies. To the right was a living room with two couches one against the big window that you could look out to see the porch and one against the wall on the far right. The tv was sitting on a wooden tall stand against the wall in the center (this took place back then, they had the 3D tv models).
