-SHANDY-

Montgomery's High School always prided their baseball team, they were winners after all, but the latest match was bringing so many doubts to the team.

"Andy, there secret weapon is supposed to be brutal." Julio Sanchez complained throwing his hat down. They had just finished practicing and they'd all struggled to get decent hits.

"Those dirtbags have nothing on us." He replied as he began taking off his sneakers. They were due to play St Josephs in three weeks' time, who were a relatively new team so rumors about the team were mixed.

"Flynn's right. Quit whining and get your head into the right place. All of you" Provenza, the team's captain shouted above the noise of the men's changing room. The young men all changed in silence after this

The team of 20 had 6 more practices and but the time the game came around they were confident they could beat anyone. Montgomery Moose's were huddled in their changing rooms.

"Alright, I want a good game. No messing. Keep your eyes on the prize" Provenza spoke in hushed tones. He turned to Flynn who was his proverbial second in command.

"Let's show those dirtbags what we're made of" he shouted, which got a round of applause and cheers. They filed out of the room and onto the playing grounds just in time to see the other team do the same. It was like a movie scene, Montgomery's team walking tall and proud, their moose mascot out in front showing off, marking their territory and the St Joseph's rolling their eyes signaling they weren't scared. The jaguar mascot prowling along in front. The game began.

After 6 innings they were pretty close with scores and Flynn was beginning to doubt the likelihood of a win. St Joseph's were really good, scoring 4 home runs and all from the same player number 5, O'Dwyer. He didn't know this asshole but he most certain didn't like him. As he came up to the batting plate it hit him, a realization not the ball, O'Dwyer was shorter, scrawny he looked for him and just as he was working it out in his head the ball hit his chest and the distinct 'Strike' was heard. Shaking himself he concentrated all the while the mystery of player five knawing at him from the back of his mind. The ball flew towards him and he smacked it hard. He dashed to the first the second, the third, jumping for home and...

"OUT!" He looked up and saw O'Dwyer shake hands with his team mates, that SOB had caught the ball. He passed Sanchez and whispered "aim for 5" he saw his mate nod before sitting at the side. At last it was Julio's turn he lined up looking for O'Dwyer, he took a deep breath and let his bat swing as the ball came towards it.

"TIME" Andy smiled smugly, finally that cocky dirtbag got what he deserved. There was a commotion as people rushed on. Shouts were heard but one booming voice broke through.

"Get out of the way! You aimed for my best player" the St Joseph's coach yelled. He was a big man, not the kind of person you would want to fight.

"It was accident." Julio's shouted back, Provenza approached the coach and an argument started. After a while 5 sat up.

"Get out of my way!" He shouted, well squeaked he had hit the ground pretty fast. He stormed right up to Flynn.

"Hey, why you so angry at me?" He stood up, his face plastered with a smug grin.

"I'm angry because you think..." He paused and grabbed his caps lip and pulled it off "that because I'm a girl you get to aim your balls for me. Well guess what Flynn I am not going to stand for it. You are annoyed because I caught you out, I'm as good a player as any one of those guys and I'm a damn sight better than your sorry ass." Flynn stared, O'Dwyer was a girl!

"I...I...I" he stuttered still shocked at how she looked without her cap, longish auburn curls and green eyes which looked pretty angry. "If I'd known you were a girl I wouldn't have asked him to do that" he shrugged

"Exactly, you would have gone easy on me." She stepped back picking up her cap which she had thrown to the ground, muttering as she went "Jealous ass".

About a 3 months later, St Joseph's were holding a sports event and 3 of Montgomery's sports teams were invited: Baseball, netball and boxing. Andy Flynn sat quietly his cranberry juice not really hitting the right taste buds. His casual suit felt restrictive, how he couldn't wait to go home.

"Still being a bad loser, eh?" a somewhat familiar voice asked, Andy looked up and saw a beautiful girl with auburn waves and big green eyes, he studied her in the black dress which feel to her knee. "Don't recognize me without a massive bruise and unfitting baseball shirt?" she joked sitting next to him.

"No, I recognize you O'Dwyer, I couldn't forgot those eyes" he sat up offering the seat next to him.

"My name's Sharon by the way. I guess growing up with 4 brothers and only one sister, who was years older, pushes to be one of the guys" she crossed her legs and Andy couldn't help but notice her skirt rise up her leg.

"I'd have loved that. How can you not love baseball?" he leaned in.

"I do, I adore it but I just get annoyed how I'm treated" she shook her head lightly. They sat looking at each other for a while.

"I bet your boyfriend gets annoyed that you hang with so many boys." He broke the silence, he knew she wouldn't have one but he had to check.

"He does actually." She answered right away, watching the disappointment wash over his face "We aren't serious, the opposite really, he has the greatest wandering eye in the world. Why, you interested?" she joked, knowing he would laugh and say no.

"I am, actually. Your cute and you play baseball, what's not to like." He shuffled his seat closer, a daring glint in his eyes.

"Plenty of things. My family are Irish, Irish Catholics." She challenged.

"So what, mine are Italian" he shrugged

"I mean…I don't 'put out' easy. If you want to date me, it has to be done properly" she scoffed, her own nerves making her defensive and trying to push him away.

"I'm pretty sure my mother would slit my throat and feed my to her greatest enemy if I did it any other way." He placed a cautious hand over hers. She looked up, and smiled. "Your eyes and smile match, beautiful" he flashed a cheeky side grin. She inched forward, causing him to tingle slightly.

"Prove it Flynn. Take me to dinner next week" she slipped him a piece of paper and winked before sashaying away.

"Who are you chatting up now Flynn?" Provenza and a couple of teammates sat down at the table. Flynn simply grinned and went back to his cranberry juice which now seemed just that little bit more satisfying for some reason.
