Chapter 38- Camp
Benny P.O.V
I smiled as my mom dropped us off at the camp.
Demi just looked at it like it was scary or something, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car. "Come on Dem, this will be fun!" I tried to cheer her up, and she finally smiled at me. "I'll try…I guess if you're here with me I'll be alright." She said, making me smile. "Lets get going!" I said, grabbing our bags and saying goodbye to my mom. She smiled at us as she drove away down the gravel road, waving to us.
"You ready?"
"Nope."
I smiled and we tried to find the head campers cabin. There were kids all over playing baseball, even a few girls. "You Benny?" we turned around at the sound of a man's voice, running over to us. "Yeah, and this is Demi." I said, pointing to Demi, who shook his hand. He smiled then looked over at me, "I think you two will like it here, the kids really love it when we have guest players." He said, "Im Bryan by the way." I shook his hand and looked at a cabin that said GUESTS on it. "That ours?" I pointed to the cabin, he nodded, "Unless Demi here would like to sleep with the few girls we have in their cabins." He suggested, and I looked over at Demi.
"Maybe you should."
"Sure."
Demi P.O.V
I really didn't wanna sleep with 6 little girls.
I sighed as Benny and Bryan talked for at least an hour in Benny's cabin. Screams came from outside about every 5 minutes, and I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight. It was only for 2 nights though. "Shall we get started?" Bryan asked, and that caught my attention. "Sure." I said quickly, getting up and following him and Benny out the door. As I walked out the door, something slammed into my gut, sending me backwards a little. "Move lady!" a kid yelled, and ran away from me like nothing had happened. Benny and Bryan didn't even see it.
"You alright?"
Benny asked me, and I just glared at the kid running away. "This is the first group, where you'll be Benny." There was about 8 or 9 kids playing around, throwing balls and yelling at each other. "How nice." I mumbled under my breath, and Benny nodded at me, he agreed. "Okay, nice." He said, trying to hide it. Bryan didn't even tell him what to do, he just started leading me away. I looked back at Benny, panic in my eyes, he gave me a thumbs up before we went around the corner.
"God help me…"
"What was that?"
I looked up and looked like I didn't know what he was talking about, and we continued on. "And heres your group." He pointed to the group with the girls and a few boys, all who looked like brats. "Good luck." I didn't like this guy already. I glared at him as he walked away, to who knows where. The kids were staring at me like I killed someone, and I faked a smile. "Hey kids." I was really bad with talking to kids, babies I can do, but not kid kids. A chubby kid came forward, a tuff expression on his face.
"Who you?"
"Your guest…I guess. Im Demi."
He grinned at me and stuck his hand out, his eyebrows raised. "Hot name, Im Kyle." I raised my eyebrows at him now, the flipping kid was flirting with me. "Umm.. sorry kid, Im taken." The other kids laughed while Kyle glared at me, then walked back to where the rest of the kids were.
"Okay…so first we're just gunna get some batting practice in alright?" I said, and took a bat I saw sitting by a tree. "Line up over there and take turns hitting the ball on the string." The kids shoved each other to get in line, and I already regretted coming with Benny.
"She cut me!"
"Did not!"
"Shut up!"
They all looked at me when I said that, surprised that I actually did something about them being brats. "You shut up!" I glared at a ginger in the front of the line, grinning at me. "You tell me to shut up again and you wont be a boy tomorrow. Get the picture?!" I snapped back at him, and his eyes got wide. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"Just hit the ball."
The ginger kid brought his bat back, and completely missed the ball. The kids all laughed, making the situation worse, and he got mad and swung his bat at the ground multiple times. I ran over and grabbed the bat from him, and turned to the kids. "Lets get this straight ass holes, if a person misses the ball, you don't laugh got it? I know every single one of you has missed at least once, so don't make fun of other people for missing." I was almost yelling, and I think I was scaring them, but I couldn't stand these kids.
"Umm miss?"
I turned to see a cute little girl standing there, looking like me when I was young. "Yes?" I asked, trying to calm myself down. "Umm nevermind." She said quickly, putting her head down. I felt a little bad, I probably scared her a little. I looked at the bat in my hands and sighed, walking over and getting a ball from a bucket. The kids eyes were on me as I threw the ball up, hitting it way off where none of them could see it. I looked back at their shocked faces.
"You wanna learn how to do that, you'll pay attention alright?"
They all nodded quickly, and got in a organized line. "Hey you," I said, pointing to the little girl I had just talked to. She timidly came up to me, not making eye contact. "Whats your name sweetie?" I asked her, and she looked up at me. "Ann." She said in a whisper, and I smiled and handed her the bat. "Okay Ann, I want you to go up to the ball on a string, and hit it as hard as you can alright?" I said, she nodded and walked up to it. I stood back as she wound up, and hit the ball.
She had a lot more power then I thought. She hit it so hard the ball flew off the string, sending it far into the grass. I smiled as she turned around with a surprised look on her face, and everyone cheered loudly for her.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
