💕If Only We Knew💕

Matt Greyson

"C'mon!" I yelled before taking off after Benny. 

I could hear Matt running behind me, I felt so happy. Benny didn't sound mad anymore and Matt was going to meet all my new friends. As soon as we reached the sandlot Benny stopped and turned around sending me a small smile. 

I returned an even bigger smile and set my stuff down in the dugout. Benny did the same and so did Matt.

"Where are the others?" I asked looking at Benny.

"They'll come any second." He said looking down at his watch.

Matt looked down at his bare wrist and said, "Anytime now."

Matt, Benny and I started laughing at the joke.

Benny quickly ended his laughter and asked, "Are you guys... by any chance.." Benny started leaving Matt to end it. "dating? no, we are just really good friends. You walked in at the wrong time."

"Oh.." Benny responded. He still looked sad, why did Benny care if we were in a relationship or not? Maybe he didn't want any drama to happen this summer. 

"I was just not feeling well, he was giving a heart warming speech. Trust me I wouldn't date him. Not in a million years." I was scared to see how Benny would respond.

"y/n!" Matt placed his hand over his heart. "Everyone would be pleased to date me."We all started laughing and before it came to a stop Benny looked at me and gave a small smile.

Fortunately Benny believed me. Benny walked up to Matt and properly introduced him self. "Benny, Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Matt fist bumped Benny and they both started talking.

About 5 minutes later and the team started showing up. The first boy to come to view was Bertram. "Bertram!" I yelled waving my hand at him. Bertram jogged over till he stood right in front of us. 

"Hey y/n! Who's this?" He asked starring at Matt.

"This is Matt Greyson, He's one of my bestfriends from Texas." I smiled at Bertram.

Bertram looked Matt up and down and asked, "Does he play well?".

"Why else would he be standing on the sandlot?" I replied in a playful tone. Bertram laughed and let out his hand, "Nice to meet you!". With that Matt and Bertram shook hands. Two excepted Matt, eight more to go. 

I was really hoping they'd all except Matt and his vacation would be fun while it lasted. All of a sudden loud sounds of feet trampling on the ground awoke me from my thoughts.

Next piled in Timmy, Tommy, Smalls and Squints. They were laughing and pushing each other around. "Hey y/n!" Yelled Smalls running over to me leaving the others still messing around.

"Hey Smalls!" I replied ruffling his hair. I thought of Smalls as my little brother, he was so oblivious of everything about baseball. And as a baseball freak, I obviously felt the need to teach him everything and anything he needs to know about baseball. So naturally I felt like an older sister.

"This is Matt Greyson, one of my bestfriends from Texas." I said pointing at Matt. "Oh hi! I'm Scotty Smalls. Nice to meet you!" Smalls reacted really well to Matt, probably because he knew what it felt like when no one wanted him playing with them. 

"Hey! It's nice to meet you too!" Matt responded with a bright smile. They shook hands when suddenly Squints noticed Matt. 

Timmy pushed Squints, "Would you stop?! I'm not playing anymore." Squints than looked at me with a 'who's that?' look.
