Chapter 1: "I'm Benny."


Kami's POV

I got of the car and headed toward the moving van. I looked around at my surroundings. Me and my older brother Martin moved there because our parents died in a car accident. When I was looking around I spotted a boy about my age with tan skin and dark brown or black hair hiding underneath a blue baseball hat. He was wearing a white button up shirt left unbuttoned with a blue tee shirt underneath, and white running shoes. I thought he was really cute and was glad that he lived across the street from me.

Benny's POV

I was on my way to the sandlot when I saw a beautiful girl with blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair tied up in a ponytail with a dodgers baseball hat over it. She was wearing a Red shirt, Blue shorts, white running shoes. I saw a moving van, so I figured she was moving in across the street. I decided to go and say hi and welcome her to the neighborhood.

Kami's POV

I saw him coming over to our house so I picked up a heavy box and tried to carry it. I was struggling a lot hoping that my plan would work.

Normal POV

"Hey do you need help with that?" Benny said running across the street

"Yeah." Kami said struggling even more. She finally just dropped it

"Oh great that's just great!" Kami said picking up all of her little league trophies and baseballs.

"Oh let me help you." Benny said kneeing down and picking up some of the baseballs and bats.

"You play baseball?" Benny said surprised.

"Yeah Little league MVP. Nothing special." Kami said plainly.

"Wow. I play baseball too." Benny said with a smile.

"That's so awesome!" Kami said returning the smile.

"I forgot to Introduce myself. Benny Rodriguez." He said offering his hand to help her up.

"Kami Lopez." She said taking his hand and standing up. They didn't let go of each others hands until Martin came out to get more boxes.

"Kami. Who's this?"

"Hi I'm Benny Rodriguez." Benny said extending his hand for Martin to shake.

"Nice to meet you Benny." He said shaking his hand.

"Hey do you think you might wanna come to the sandlot with me? Its where me and my friends go to play baseball." Benny asked trying not to seem too anxious.

"Martin?" Kami said with the puppy dog pout.

"Fine but when your done come back and fix yourself something to eat because I have to rearrange my room."

"Thanks Martin." She said giving him a quick peck on the check.

"Come on!" Benny said taking her hand and pulling her with him.

"Hold on Benny!" She said trying to stop Benny.

"We're almost there." Benny said looking back at her.

The went through some bushes and the were at the sandlot.

"Wow!" Kami exclaimed running out on the baseball diamond.

"It's neat, huh?" Benny said while watching her run from to base to base.

"Its really great!" She said stopping in front of Benny.

"The guys should be here in a few minutes, so you wanna talk until they do?"

"Sure." She said running to the bleachers.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" Kami said sitting down next to Benny.

"What does Kami stand for?" He asked looking at me.

"It stands for Kamillia. And does Benny stand for Benjamin?" She said asking Benny the same question he asked her.

"You better believe it." He said with a smile.

"What got you interested with Baseball?" Kami asked like a eagerly and Benny just laughed.

"I'm Serious here!" Kami said with a little laugh.

"I don't know, Kamillia I just started playing and now it's my main thing." Benny said like he was in an interview.

"Shut up!" she said shoving him. She shoved a little too hard and he fell off the side of the bleachers. Kami just gasped.

"You are so lucky we are on the last step of the bleachers, but that doesn't mean your off the hook!" He said getting up.

"Oh what are you gonna do chase me down?" She in a fake scared voice.

"Maybe." He sad with a smile. Kami screamed and then started running with Benny running right behind her.

"No!" Kami said when caught up with her. He tackled her and they both fell down.

"Your fast!" She said trying to catch her breath.

"You are too!" Benny said doing the same thing. They heard the chatter of boys and stood up.

"Hey Benny, and…" Smalls questioned.

"I'm Kami."
