Sandlot 1!

(A/N: Benny has already tackled the beast and has been a year since, so it's the next summer. 1963 by the way;) )

My name is Acacia. I just moved here from Memphis. I moved here to live with my grandparents because my parents were barley coping with me. Its not that they didn't want to, but my mother just had triplets and its not exactly easy trying to raise four children whilst juggling two jobs. My dad couldn't be there for me either until 8:00 at night because he'd wake up early to get to work, my mum had hired a nanny, the nanny could only just about take care of the triplets though. So i offered to come out here so they could cope a little better. After long goodbyes and a long drive...a VERY long drive, i'm here, on the outskirts of L.A

I turned 15 this year. My passion is sport; back in Memphis we had teams for sport in my school. But the best thing was, girls and boys weren't split, there was no sexism. It was simply who ever played best was on the team. My favourite sport was baseball. I love baseball so much i could play it for days straight. I also love running, soccer and dancing. Dancing had always been a side subject for me to do as a club on days i was free. But i started to enjoy when people told me i was could. Becuase of my dancing, my body has stayed in a particularly fit shape, i have nice curves in all the right places, and i wouldn't say that if it wasn't true, i think i'm quite humble actually.

"Acacia Dear, Time to get up" My Nan shouted for me

"I'm on my way down!" i reply while getting ready. I dress in a white strappy top with an almost transparent, unbuttoned shirt loosely hanging over my shoulders. I also wore my new pair of pale green material shorts, they were shorter than i had thought though, only finishing off high up my thigh.

I walked downstairs and ate my breakfast, and then my Nan drove me to school seeing as i had no idea where i was going.

I didn't know why i was here today, there were only a few days left till summer break started. What was the pint in me only doing 1 week of school.

My first lesson was math. I was showed into my classroom my the principle and was told where i was seated by my teacher. I was placed next to a chubby, red headed boy with freckles all over his face.

"Hi, i'm Acacia" i said to the boy

"Hamilton" he simply replied "i'm guessing your new?" he added

"yep, moved her form Memphis"

Hamilton nodded

For the first half of the lesson, Hamilton and I were just quietly making fun of our teacher, but when she left the room for a few minutes to get some more chalk for the black board, Him and I started talking again.

"so what are you doing after school?" I asked him, still laughing about what he had just said 'Her moustache looks like Hitler's'.

"I'm going down to the Sandlot"

My face lit up when her said this "You mean...To play baseball?"

Hamilton nodded "yep"

"can i come down?"

Hamilton's face suddenly went all serious "..to watch?"

"To play"

Hamilton just laughed "Thats ridiculous! Girls can't play baseball"

Now my face turned serious "yeah they can, I can!"

"I don't believe that"

"well believe it!, i used to play it all the time back in Memphis"

"what with a softball" Hamilton sneered "Anyone can hit or throw a softball"

Then i hit him right back "I bet you couldn't hit it"

Hamilton laughs turned into silence. "after school today, you'll come down with me to the Sandlot. I'll give you three goes to strike me out, With a Baseball.

Inside i was cheering for my triumph, but i just nodded with a smirk.
