A/N: I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in awhile! Last week my computer decided to be a pain and was freezing so I didn't update! Anyway here's the next chapter!


Finally the day of the game came and I was sitting in our dugout keeping score again. Our team was doing really well, and for some reason the batters of the other team was doing pretty poorly.

"Shut up Porter!" Phillips yelled at Ham after he had just struck out.

That's why, I laughed to myself. Benny slid next to me and looked over my shoulder at the book.

"That's a good job," he commented moving away.

"Thanks, so think we'll win?"

"We're up, 6 to 2 and it is the bottom of the ninth, three more outs and we have the game," he smiled.

"Alright guys let's get out to our positions let's go!" everyone cheered and ran onto the field. I chuckled turning the page in the scorebook.

Benny's POV

I watched Kay from third base, she was sitting on the dugout bench her head buried in the book looking up to watch the game and then write down what happened.

The three outs came easily to us and the game was over. Ham held out his cleat to Phillips who reluctantly licked it. We all about died of laughter. But I was relived we had won; it meant Kay didn't have to go with that jerk. Why am I so protective of her?

Kay came up to my side, "Hey, wanna go or watch some more of his torture, you look like you're not really watching."

"Oh yeah sure," I nodded grabbing my stuff and walking with her out.

"You played really well today," she said.

"Thanks," I replied. Why was I so nervous around her?"

Kay's POV

I watched the ground and turned quickly when the others all came up.

"Hey, let's go to the carnival!" Ham suggested.

"Yeah!" everyone agreed so I suppose that's what we'll do.

At the carnival all the guys were getting tickets and laughing. Eventually Bertram decided to give out some tobacco, "Want some?" he held out the bag to me.

I shook my head, "Not thanks."

"Aw come on Kay why not?" Squints asked me.

"Because I don't want any."

"Hmmp, typical girl," he scoffed, before I planted a shift kick in his shin.

The others laughed while I smirked triumphantly. Benny also declined the tobacco as I did. He slid next to me as the others climbed on the ride, "Is there a reason you don't want to get on?" he whispered in my ear.

"No, not really, I just know what'll happen when they do go on," I smiled.

"Come on," Benny grabbed my hand and pulled me off somewhere else in the carnival.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see," he smirked over his shoulder at me.

I laughed as he pulled me to a Ferris wheel, "The ferris wheel?"

"Yeah you like it don't you?" he looked a little worried.

"Yeah, it's just I haven't been on one is so long," I smiled up at the ride.

"Well come on then," he grabbed my hand and pulled me up to one of the baskets.

Once the two of us were in Benny sat close to me our sides touching. "So, I guess we haven't ever really talked have we?"

"Nope," I looked over the side and saw the others getting off the ride with puke all over them, "I think the others are wondering where we are, look," I pointed over to them as Benny leaned over to look.

"I knew there was a reason you refused."

"Yeah," I laughed and turned back to him. His face was only an inch from mine, and I could feel his breath on my lips. He looked down at my lips and inched closer to me. His lips captured mine for a moment.

He broke away and looked at the me, "Kay, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Um, I- I guess I will."

Benny smiled and pulled me to his shoulder.

When we returned to the guys we all agreed it was time to go home.
