Mavis.

"Mavis, help Scotty with the boxes will ya?" My dad said, before going inside our new house. It was nothing like our old home in New York city. The house was small and pink, but it's still beautiful and cozy, unlike our old home, big yet lonely.

"Yeah sure." I replied. I took my headphones off and place it around my neck. I turned around to see my step-brother putting down a big red box.

"Hey, anymore boxes in there?" I walked over to him, pointing towards the truck.

"Oh yeah. There still four of them insi-..." He cut himself short.

I look at Scotty confusingly and followed his gaze where I saw a boy across the street with a baseball bat in his hand. Alright! I smiled slightly. Back at home baseball was my life, up until now of course. I guess its just good to see they play baseball around here. At first I thought this was just a boring town with boring people.

Scotty waved at him.. Maybe a little too happily. I sighed. I feel bad for Scotty not having any friends, I mean not even a single friend. Its a new town and I can see he was looking forward into making some here. And boy, I sure hope he does.

Scotty and I met at the time when his mom, Mary Smalls invited us for dinner. Her and dad were already dating for like 2 weeks at that time. So Scotty and I became close, and I found out I was his onlyfriend. Then after 1 year, Mary became my mother in-law and Scotty is officially my step-bro... He still keeps his surname, Smalls, though instead of Divine. But I accept that.

The guy nods his head back at Scotty and glanced at me. Shit.

I don't usually think like this but... but he is fine. Like really fine. A blue dodgers cap was set upon his messy jet black hair. He was wearing a white shirt that was below his unbuttoned light grey polo shirt with plain blue jeans and a pair of black PF flyers. He was fairly tall and has olive skin tone that gives me a hint he's part latino. But other than that, he was very handsome.

I can feel my cheeks burning up, as he stood there staring at me. And for christ sakes with a lip bite! I swear, in a matter of second his eyes wondered from my head to toe. Was he checking me out? ... Oh gosh, what am I thinking!

For what seems like forever, but really it was just like two seconds, he smiled at me. Thank God he didn't wait for my response and continued walking to his frontyard. I wouldn't even know if I'd wave or just smile back. I usually am a sociable person but... this guy... I just don't know!

Great, first day here, and I'm already thinking like this. Ugh.

"Mave, you see that bat his holding? Maybe you can play ball with him," Scotty nudge me. "He seems to like you."

"I don't know Scott. He probably won't like that idea. You know how it is New York..." I rolled my eyes remembering the boys at my old school. Those shitheads kept on telling me that girls can't play baseball. I guess the idea of punching their leader wasn't my smartest move. I was sent to the principle's office, grounded for 1 week, and I got the worst news of my life. Moving here in Los Angeles.

It's bad news for me of course. I'll be leaving everything that means the world to me, my best friends, Annie and John, my baseball team, my home, the city, Mr. Leenie's bakery...baseball...I proved myself to those guys though, and they all accepted me as a baseball player... But I still hate them.

"Well you are right about that..."

"And what makes you think he likes me?" I asked.

"He smiled at you." He simply shrugged as he gave me the duhface.

"That's it? He smiled at you too dude!" I laughed.

"You don't know us guys. If you were a guy you could tell." He said and step inside the truck to get more boxes.

And me? I just blinked.

Benny.

"See ya later Benny!" Ham said as we separate ways.

"Yeah see ya man."

I stepped on the pavement and walk towards my house that was just a couple steps away. From the corner of my eye I could see a moving truck and two people standing behind it. My mom did mention we were having new neighbors. I guess they finally arrived. I stopped for a second and looked at them.

To my surprise, the kid was waving at me. I gave him a small smile and nod to him, my simple way of welcoming him to the neighborhood.

My eyes then landed on the person right next to him. A girl.

And Damn.

I guess Wendy Perffercorn has a new competition in town. No. I think she'll beat the crap out off Wendy. It's actually safe to say that she's a total, as yeah yeah would call it, babe. She really was beautiful. I decided that thought she's the prettiest girl I've ever seen. I'm not overreacting, I mean I never really care about girls... Until now.

It wasn't only her looks. She seems pretty cool too. Not like the other girls. I looked at her up and down but a little too fast, so I won't get caught. She's hot, but what really caught my attention was the jersey she's wearing. New York Yankees shirt.

Is she a fan? A player? I started to debate whether to think that girls can play baseball or not. Ham and the guys always say they can't. But I don't wanna underestimate girls. 'Cos if I did, and they were good, I'd only end up humiliated.

When the guys are here they'd probably be drooling right now. But I knew better. I don't wanna creep her out, so I smiled at her as quick as I walked away to my house.
