The Sandlot(BxB)

Chapter 6

We were walking home and 'Ham' was talking to Scotty about catching the ball

"If you pay attention, heck I'll show you some more tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Okay bye, you did good"

"See you later, Ham"

"Bye Benny!"

"Bye Smalls, see ya' Pretty boy"

I blushed at the nickname and felt a cheesy smile carve itself into my face

"Bye Benny"

Scotty and I walked towards his house but before we even got a few feet close to it he turned around and called Benny

"Benny, wait! Your glove!"

Benny paused but waved his hand carelessly 

"Keep it, man"

"Thanks!"

He ran off towards his house excited to keep the glove

"Hey Scotty, wait up for me!"

I caught up to him and we walked in sync. We stopped when we heard a voice from behind us.

"Oh yeah Y/N, Smalls!"

I turned around along with Scott and walked towards Benny again. He approached us, squinting from the glaring setting sun.

"Um, bring a tee shirt and jeans tomorrow, okay Smalls?"

He nodded and Benny went to walk away but quickly turned around again

"Oh um, you got a fireplace?"

"Yeah, why?"

He looked around and then flicked Scott's hat

"Throw that hat in there, man"

I burst out of laughter and Scott punched my arm. After a little while, I stopped laughing and Scott had his arms crossed.

"Are you done?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm done, sorry"

He didn't say anything and he looked back at Benny.

"Well, it's the only one I have and-"

"Not anymore, wear my old hat. 8 o'clock tomorrow morning guys"

Benny gave him a Navy blue cap with green under it. He smiled at me and ran off towards his house.

"Thanks, Benny!"

He ran off without me again and hopped onto the stairs.

"Mom guess what!"

I sighed and shook my head, grinning at the small, excited boy. I was about to run after him but turned around and called out to Benny before he was completely gone.

"Benny!"

I ran over to him and he paused in his yard

"Hey, what you did for Scott was really cool of you. Thanks."

I leaned over and kissed his cheek. I slowly retreated back down the driveway, walking backward. His face dusted with a light pink and I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"N-no problem!"

I nodded and ran back over to Scott's house opening the closed door.

-

Ham was at bat and Benny was behind him. They made sure that I was pitching.

"Hamilton 'the babe' Porter"
