《Summer of "62" ~Benny Rodriguez》Closer
Advertisement
I wake up the next morning to the sound of rocks hitting my window so I wrap my blanket around my torso and walk towards it. I see Benny standing there holding a handful of rocks so I open the window.
You: Benny it's 7:00 am what are you doing
Benny: shit it's 7:00
You: ya
Benny: why do you have a blanket on
You: because I have no shirt on dummy. Come in I'm not gonna be rude and make you stay out there but climb through the window my moms asleep and I don't want you waking her up.
Benny: ok bossy pants
You: I can shut this window on your fingers if you want me too
Benny: ok not a morning person
You: just get in.
He hops in through the window before shutting it and sitting on my bed. I grab jean shorts and a baseball jersey and go to the bathroom. I change and walk back into my room carrying my blanket and see Benny laying on my bed.
You: I see you made yourself comfortable
Benny: your beds very soft
You: I know that's why I have it
Benny: remind me not to wake you up anymore
You: why'd you wake me up anyways
Benny: I was bored
You: very cool
I grab a elastic and tie my hair up in a bun and sit down on my bed. Benny sits up and I go to my closet and open it. I grab a pair of blue PF flyers and put them on.
Benny: woah how many pairs of PF flyers do you have
You: I don't know 12
Benny: shit you are a baseball player
You: you really like saying that word
Benny: what shit?
You: ya
Benny: you don't swear do you?
You: not unless I'm mad
Benny: ok ms. Perfect
You: shut up
I throw I baseball glove at him that was laying on my floor. He gets out of my bed and picks me up and throws me on the bed before sitting beside me as I giggle. He looks at me and smiles.

Benny: so what makes you mad?
You: Phillips
Benny: he makes everyone mad
You: yes he does.
Benny: you should keep your hair curled more
You: eww no I hate it
Benny: why it looks good
You: no it's too frizzy
Benny: no it's perfect
You: your too kind
Benny: shut up
You: I have a question
Benny: hit me
You: do you have any siblings
Benny: ya my sister she's in College now
You: oh
Benny: well the gangs probably on there way to the Sandlot.
You: ok then hurry up
I grab my glove and run out my bedroom door.
Benny: Lilly!
I run down the stairs and out the front door when I don't hear it close I turn around and see Benny closing it. I look at him and smile before he starts running.
You: Smalls we're going to Sandlot hurry up!
I see him run to his door and grab his glove before I run off with Benny chasing me. After a couple minutes I make it to the Sandlot before anybody else. I stand near the entrance waiting for anyone when I feel hands around my waist and I fall to the ground I look at see Benny on top of me laughing.
You: I still won
Benny: ya whatever
You: now get off of me
Benny: Not unless you say I'm faster
You: I don't like lying
Benny: well then I'm not getting off of you.
You: Benny Rodriguez get off!
Benny: I'm faster admit it
You: your not faster
Benny: then you don't want me off of you that bad
You: yes I do I can't breathe
Then all of the boys run in and stare at us. And Benny rolls off of me before the both of us stand up.
Ham: aww the couple was cuddling
You: we're not a couple and Benny tackled me because I'm faster then him
Benny: no your not!
You: your just in denial
Squints: you too are to competitive

You: not my fault Bennys slow
Benny: your a cheater
You: no I'm not!
Kenny: whatever can we just play some ball
Yeah yeah: yeah, yeah we don't need to see you guys flirting all the time.
We all get onto positions Bennys hitting and Hams on deck I'm pitching and the rest are in there regular positions besides Kenny who took my place. I pitch a change ball to Benny and he doesn't swing
Timmy: strike one
You: Benny don't blink
He blinks purposely and I throw it and stand there with my glove closed.
Benny: ok pitch it already
You: check Timmys glove
He turns around and sees Timmy with the ball in his hand
Timmy: strike 2
Benny: I hate you sometimes Lilly
You: aww how cute
He gets is position and I pitch a curve ball and he doesn't swing.
Timmy: Ball 1
I pitch it again and Benny swings and hits a grounder. Squints picks it up and passes to Bertram but before he can tag Benny, Benny runs to third and then gets home.
Benny: fast enough now Anderson
You: no still slow
He rolls his eyes before taking the mask and Glove from Timmy and getting in back catchers position. Ham steps up to the plate and practice swings.
Ham: Hamilton the babe Porter, Long ball Porter, come on Lilly
He points his finger to the empty bleachers everyone starts laughing and telling him to hurry.
Benny: ya ok, yes I see it
I step back up to the mound and pitch it Ham misses it my a mile.
Benny: woah!
Ham: you call that pitching, this is baseball not Tennis
Squints: give him a tennis racket
Ham: give me something to hit!
You: alright Ham this my fastball I dare you to hit it
I pitch and he hits it hard we all watch as it goes over the fence into Mr. Mertles yard.
Benny: Ham you idiot now we can't play no more
Everyone starts throwing there gloves at him as he runs the basses. I stand there starring at him like he was stupid. Ham makes it to Home base when I hear Smalls say something so I turn around and see him running towards the fence.
You: SMALLS!!
Everyone turns around and sees Smalls climbing up the fence and we all start running to him. Benny picks him up over his shoulder and drops him back down on the ground.
Timmy: your gonna get yourself killed man
Tommy: killed
Squints: holy crap you could've been killed
Yeah yeah: yeah yeah truly, what are you doing
Smalls: you guys were all leaving so I thought I would just
Squints: if you weren't thinking you wouldn't have thought that
Benny: you can't go back there Smalls
Smalls: then how do we get the ball back?
Timmy: we don't
Tommy: we don't
Timmy: it's history
Tommy: it's history
Timmy: kiss it goodbye
Tommy: kiss it-
Timmy: shut up Tommy
Bertram: it's gone man
Benny: games over man, we'll just get another ball tomorrow. You'll never see it again
Everyone starts walking away but they turn around when Smalls talks.
Smalls: why not
All: the beast
Smalls: what is that
Benny: see Smalls listen go over to that fence real slow and be quite.
Smalls: but-
Benny: no, no, no, no just go and peek through that whole
Smalls walks up to the fence and peeks through the whole before turning back and running towards us again in a panic.
Smalls: something got the ball, what what was that thing?
All but You: Campout!
They all say it at the same time and Smalls just looks at me and I shrug my shoulders as they all walk away.
Everyone goes to the dugout and grabs there stuff Smalls says bye to us as he goes inside.
Benny: I'll pick you up in a hour
You: good Because I have no clue we're I'm supposed to be going.
He laughs as I walk inside my house before he yells at me and I turn around.
Benny: you forgot something
You: what
He points at his cheek and I roll my eyes before jogging back to him and plantings a kiss on his cheek and going back into my house.
