💕If Only We Knew💕

The Beast

"What's wrong?" Benny asked in a worried face.

"Race ya!" I yelled spinning around darting in the direction of the sandlot.

"Hey! That's not fair!" I heard Benny scream from behind. I ran with all my strength and energy that by the time I got to the sandlot I wasn't able to yell 'I won!'. 

"Woah, woah. What's goin on now?" Asked Kenny looking at mine and Benny's laying bodies. We were both out of breath, panting. 

"W- we were-" my sentence was cut due to all the panting.

"Racing. A-all the way h-here from her h-house." Benny finished staring at me with a smile. I returned the smile and put my hand over my chest. 

Benny than got up and looked down at me. "Dead?" He asked chuckling.

"No! What do you mean?! I'm up!" I yelled pushing myself up. I scrambled for the strength but fell right back down onto my butt.

All the boys laughed and Benny stepped over and reached his hand out for me to grab. "Yeah, you are." He chuckled. 

I looked at his held out hand and back at him with a mean glare. I grabbed his hand and expected him to be some moral support, instead he was all my support. As soon as our hands touched he yanked me up.

As soon as I got up I walked to the dugout and placed my water on one of the benches.

Ham started swinging the bat in circles saying, "Hamilton the Babe Porter, c'mon DeNunez." Ham than did the famous Babe movement (I don't know how to explain this obviously). He stuck his pointer finger out pointing high and sort of to the left. The boys and I laughed at Ham's action. Benny didn't laugh though, all he wanted was to play. "Yea okay, I see it." DeNunez pitched the ball and it came flying towards Benny's glove who was placed as the catcher. Ham swung and missed, the ball went straight to Benny's glove with a loud sound. "Woah!" Benny yelled, I giggled along with the other boys. 

"You call that pitching?!" Yelled ham. DeNunez laughed, "This is baseball, Not tennis" Ham said determined. Benny threw the ball to DeNunez.

Yeah-yeah said, "Give him a tennis racket!" I laughed at Yeah-yeah's statement.

"Give me something to hit!" Ham said getting back in stance.

"Alright Ham! This is my heater! I dare you to hit it!" DeNunez replied smiling pointing a finger at Ham.

"You'll be sorry." I heard ham say, he seemed to say it under his breath but I was way out in the field by Smalls, and I could hear him.

"You want my heater, I'll give it to you." with that DeNunez threw the ball with all his might. It came flying right towards Benny's glove, Ham swung his bat and 'CRACK!'

The ball came flying threw the sky, smalls started running backwards staring at the ball. But the ball went right over the fence.

All the boys started complaining. "That's how you do it Smalls!" Ham started jogging to first base in happiness.

"Ham! You idiot, now we can't play no more!" Benny yelled in anger.

"Great you idiot!" DeNunez yelled throwing his glove at Ham. All the boys started running after Ham who was still jogging the bases. All the boys were hitting Ham with their gloves.

I looked at Smalls, Smalls looked back at me with confusion. We were watching as the boys attacked Ham with words like, "Stupid!" and "Idiot!". 

Ham had made it home back to were Benny was, Benny looked so upset.
