Still Benny's POV

When I got home, I went straight to my room. I sat down on the edge of my bed, and looked at her mitt. She wouldn't have left it unless she wanted to see me again… Maybe she just didn't want to ruin her exit by running back to grab her mitt. I looked out my window and saw the last thing I expected. Julia was standing there, reading a letter.

I didn't really think of what I was doing, but before I knew it, I had my window open and was standing on the fence between our houses. I knocked on her window, and she jumped.

I smiled, and when she saw it was me she laughed. She had an amazing laugh. She pushed the window open.

"Benny Rodriguez, what are you doing?" She leaned on her window sill, and I sat on the fence.

"I don't know, just thought I'd give this back to you." I handed her her mitt.

"Bummer, now I don't have an excuse to see you tomorrow." She took her mitt, and set it inside. So that was her reason!

"You could always come to the sandlot with me tomorrow…. Maybe join in the game?" I asked, leaning forward towards her.

"Nah, you guys have a full team. I don't want to screw that up. Besides, I'm entertaining guests tomorrow… Wendy Peffercorn will be one of them. Along with Sandy Jenson, who I don't know if you know."

"Oh, I know her. She lives next-door to Yeah-Yeah. He always kind of liked her…." She smiled a devious smile, and I suddenly realized I told her something I shouldn't of. "Don't tell her that."

"I can keep secrets Benny. I like Yeah-Yeah enough to not rat him out."

"So I can trust you?" I asked, looking her in the eyes.

"With your life." She smiled, making me feel all weird inside.

"I'm glad I met you Julia…" I realized I said it in a whisper. The sun was almost set, and I noticed how the color change made her look even more beautiful.

"You're a good guy Rodriguez. I'll see you tomorrow." She said, leaning in her window.

"Good night." I told her, climbing back in my window.

"Good night." She whispered back. She shut her window, and her blinds. I fell onto my bed, and shut my eyes. How could I like some one so much, and barley even know them? I hopped up and took a shower. That night I dreamt of her.

Please, review! Tell me what else you'd like me to write. Right now I'm only working on this story…so…. Ideas?
