"Aye! Benny, y/n!" Yelled Yeah-yeah. All the boys stopped what they were doing and turned their heads towards the entrance where Benny and I had been standing. 

"y/n! Come here, let's gamble!" DeNunez yelled with a smirk. "Oh your on!" I yelled with a determined face.

I walked away from Benny and sat in front of DeNunez. He had this cardboard box in between us using it as a table. 

"I bet you... eight dollars. Eight dollars that I'll win." He looked so sure of himself it kind of made me feel intimidated.

                                                                                                 ...

"I won!" I screamed standing up holding the cash in my hands. "Ha! You guys see this?!" I yelled waving the cash in front of their faces. "I won DeNunez! And yall can't fight me on this!" I yelled bringing the cash back to my face. I took a huge whiff of the cash and sarcastically sighed.

All the boys were silent for a few seconds before laughing. I looked around and laughed as well. I suddenly noticed Smalls wasn't here yet.

"Is Smalls coming?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "Yeah, He's coming. He is running a bit late though." Ham said assuring me.

I nodded and went up to an old radio in the corner. "Does this work?" I asked looking back at Timmy who was sitting with all the boys on the other side of the room.

Timmy shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, I think so." I shrugged and turned back at the radio and plugged it in to the outlet behind it. 

I looked back at the radio searching for a on button. Ooo, I think I found it. I quickly pressed it expecting to have to wait a bit. But as soon as I pressed the button the radio started bursting out music.

"Woah that's loud!" Yelled Yeah-yeah. "Definitely!" Timmy yelled nodding his head in agreement. 
"Definitely!" repeated Tommy trying to make his voice be heard over the radio. 

I giggled and started dancing around playfully. All the boys just stared as I swayed my hips left to right jamming out to the radio station. I danced my way over to Ham and took his Pepsi out of his hand.

I took a gulp and danced with the soda can in my right hand. I stopped starring at the drooling boys. "You guys gonna dance or what?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

They just starred at me without saying a word for another second or two before suddenly realizing what I said. "Right!" Bertram yelled getting to his feet.

All but Benny followed the same thing Bertram had done and started dancing to the music. I started my dancing again laughing and talking with the boys. Benny just sat in the corner starring down at his baseball in his hand. 

"Why's Benny just sitting there? Does he not know how to have fun?" I asked giggling out of breath from dancing. I took a gulp when DeNunez started, "y/n.. You see. There's one thing everyone knows about Benny." He looked over at Benny who was still starring at the ball.

I took a glance before looking back at DeNunez, "Baseball's life to him." 

"Yeah, yeah! Most kids his age liked someone at least once. Benny? Benny's never liked someone, he never had too. He's too caught up in baseball to comprehend feelings for someone." Yeah-yeah said with a sigh.

"Yeah, too bad he's too caught up in baseball." Bertram said heading our way. 

"Why? I mean if he doesn't like anyone isn't that good? He could finish College and follow his dreams without getting held back." I said confused, It's good. He has a easy way in the world, he doesn't have to ever get heart broken.
