Mavis.
I was awake. I just don't feel like opening my eyes yet. But I'd probably be blinded by the sun if I did. I must have forgotten to close the curtains before I fell asleep last night.
"Mavis, wake up. Breakfast is ready!" Mary called out.
"I'll be up in a minute!" I yelled back.
To be honest, I feel like having a lazy day would be best for me for now. I literally don't wanna do anything. But it's sunday. And tomorrow there is school (luckily only 5 more days of it). I can't waste free times like this on sunday.
I let out a long sigh. I sit up straight and stretched my arms, yawning. Yup, I am definitely lazy today. I jumped out bed and preceded to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
When I got out (dressed), I instantly ran to the kithen to eat some breakfast. I am very hungry right now, and I don't know why.
"Morning guys." I said to Mary and dad.
"Goodmorning."
"Morning sport"
"Where's Scotty?" I asked, getting a plate of scrambled eggs.
"He's outside. He got hit in the eye while Bill's teaching him how to play catch. Can you check if he's alright?"
"Yeah sure!" I replied. I decided to eat my food outside while I talk to Scotty. I opened the front door and saw him sitting on the step looking down at his glove.
"Hey." I said sitting down next to him.
"Hey..." he whispered without looking up.
"So how's your eye?"
He finally look at me and the sight of his face made me flinch. His left eye was swelling badly and it was color purple. Oh shit.
"Oh god.."
"Yeah it doesn't hurt that much anymore..." he shook his head. "First time I caught a ball, and I end up with a huge black eye."
I grinned, "Well, hey! At least you caught the ball!" I cheered, eating my food.
He didn't say anything. Poor Scotty.
I sighed. "You know I could always teach you to play baseball."
"Yeah thanks, but I really want Bill to teach me. No offence."
I nodded understanding, "Non taken!"
We just sat there in silence as I finish my eggs.
"I'm just gunna put this in the dishes."
I stood up and went inside the house, placing the used plate in the sink. I quickly went back to Scotty, only to find him talking to the batter at the diamond. Well shit.
What's he doin' here now?
He stared at me for second. His eyes were squinting a little because of the sunlight hitting his face. And damn, it. was. sexy. You know like those models in the magazines. Only he was hotter.
I bit my lip and listen to what he has to say.
"Uh, were gunna go play some ball we need an extra guy." He said to my brother. Even his voice is bitchin' sexy, damn it! I cursed mentally.
"Wanna go?" he asked.
I raised my eyebrows at him. Well he's nice after all... Wonder if his friends are the same. I rolled my eyes.
"Nah, thanks."
I glared at Scotty. Its his chance to make friends, and he says, 'Nah, thanks'? If he doesn't make friends this summer, I'm seriously gonna wreck his science mambo jambo toys with my own baseball bat! And im not even kidding.
"Why not, don't ya like baseball!?" he said offended.
"Oh yeah but um-"
"-But what?"
Scotty stood up.
"B -but my glove its busted," the guy rolled his eyes at my brother. Wouldn't blame him. Scotty was just making an excuse not to go. His glove aint even busted. "See? So I can't go. Thanks though."
"S'okay, I got another one." The boy pulled out a mitt out of his back pocket and toss it to Scotty. How the hell did that fit into his pocket?
"Okay hold on."
Scotty immediately went inside to tell his mom, while he left me alone with him. I looked at the guy and found him staring at me. And again with that lip bite, gosh stop doing that please!
"U- uh, whats your name?" I asked. I literally wanna rip out all the stupid butterflies in my tummy right now.
"Oh, uh Benny Rodriguez." He put his hand out. I took it and shake it. For a guy who plays ball, he has some soft hands.
"You?" he asked.
"Mavis Divine. My brother's name is Scotty. Scotty Smalls."
"Smalls?"
"He's my step-brother."
"Oh okay, nice to meet ya." He nod, putting a smile on his handsome face.
I smiled at him just as Scotty came back.
"Uh i'm ready." he said awkwardly to Benny.
Benny nodded, "C'mon lets go!" he was about to run when he suddenly looked back at me. "Um you wanna come?" For a moment there, his voice was almost pleading.
I wanna say yes, but then I look at Scotty and realized that he may wanna go alone. To make friends on his own, without me going with him. Besides, I might only embarrass him, because... You know, I'm a girl. And im pretty sure Benny's friends won't like the idea if they saw me again... Since I practically almost struck them with a ball yesterday.
"Um thanks but um I- I can't." Benny's smile dropped and Scotty turned to me shocked. He knew I eat and breathe baseball, but this is his moment. I shall not go. (ha well that's cheesy). I shook my inner thoughts away, "... You see I got some... chores to do, and um, and...work 'n stuff, so yup!"
I know I'm a terrible liar. And benny and scotty knew it too. With the look Scotty was giving me, I know he didn't baught everything I said and Benny was raising his eyebrow at me.
"You sure Mave? Its baseball!" Scotty said.
"Yeah I know and I'm sure. Go on and play baseball." Grabbing the knob, I opened the front door and smiled one last time at them. "Just be back before dinner 'aight Scotty? Oh and Benny." I eyed him sternly. I almost broke my gaze when he licked his lips as he raised his eyebrows at me.
Luckily I didn't. "Take care of my baby bro." I winked.
He smirked and nodded as Scotty groaned.
I liked to embarrass him every once in a while. Its my duty as an older sister.
"C'mon Smalls let's go!" with that they ran off. Smalls? Aw, he already gave him a nickname. S'cute. I sighed and went fully inside the house.I leaned on the door frame and groaned. Boy how much I really wanna play baseball with them.
Benny.
"The guys are waiting behind Vincent's drug, lets go there first, okay?"
"Oh yeah sure... Umm"
"Benny Rodriguez." I said.
"Oh, Im Scotty Smalls."
I nodded, "Yeah your sister told me already..."
"Oh..."
His sister, Mavis Divine. That a pretty unique name.
I really hope she'd come along when I asked her. I knew from her appearance she likes baseball. And I find that really attractive about her. The jersey, the cap, and her pitch yestrerday... Its just all so obvious.
"So uh, your sister. She plays baseball right?"
Smalls looked up at me and chuckled nodding, "Yeah. She's plays the game even if there a tidal wave coming."
I smiled.
"I don't even get why she wouldn't come with us." he continued.
I shrugged, "She probably hates the guys' guts."
"Why's that?"
"After you left the sandlot she kinda threw the ballreally hard at us." I chuckled.
His eyes widened, "Oh sorry 'bout that"
"No sweat, its kinda hot."
My eyes widen as I realized what I just said. This is her brother I'm talking too. Shit.
Smalls glanced at me weirdly with a small smile forming on his lips. I gulped.
"Uh the guys said so." I lied.
He nodded.
I cursed myself mentally. Stupid idiot. I knew didnt believe me.
