Baseball (bruce)

I was at one of finney's baseball games. I always went to his games. Friends support each other so I had to.

finney was pitching, he was amazing at it. He had this technique that i couldn't understand but i pretend i do. i didn't know who the boy hitting was but by the crowd i could figure out that his name was bruce, bruce yamada.

finney pitched the ball, miss. he pitched it again, miss. our side wasting crazy, hoping finney would win. the final strike. finney pitched it but this time bruce got it and wow, he hit it hard. it went flying over the gate. our side was upset but i was amazed.

who was this guy?

after the game, i ran to finney on the field.

y/n- you'll get them next time

finney- yeah, i hope

bruce approached us

bruce- your arm is mint, you almost had me

he smiled at finney before turning to me.

finney- thanks, eh this is y/n

bruce- hey

y/n- hi

hi? seriously? that was all i could say. he literally took the words away from me. it was like he had power over me, i didn't like it one bit

bruce- i gotta go get that ball, ill see you round?

finney nodded as bruce ran off to get the ball

finney- i gotta get home

y/n- what? no you promised you'd go swimming with me

finney- i know i'm sorry

i rolled my eyes. he always canceled plans, always.

i didn't wanna be alone so i ran after bruce

y/n- hey! wait up!

bruce- hey what are you still doing here?

y/n- finney was meant to go swimming at the quarry with me but he canceled. do you wanna come instead?

bruce- eh sure

y/n- great, i'll meet you there at 3

with that i ran off.

i got home and frantically started looking for my best bikini. it was silly but i wanted to impress him.

when i got the quarry he was waiting for me. i took off my cover up and jumped into the water

y/n- you getting in or not?

bruce smiled and jumped in. we spent hours just swimming and playing in the water. once we got out to dry off, it was sort of awkward. we had nothing to talk about

y/n- ... you played well today

bruce- huh?

y/n- baseball, you played good in the baseball game today

bruce- oh eh thanks... are you and finney like a couple or something?

y/n- finney and i? no, we're just friends

bruce- ok, good ... good

he stood up and put on his t-shirt, getting ready to leave. that was weird. why was it good that finney and i weren't a couple.

i cycled home and went up to bed. we had spent all day together.

a week after our day at the quarry, i hadn't seen bruce at all. it was a saturday. i turned on the news and low and behold, bruce yamada was missing.
