SUNSHINE POV

Getting drunk to Kenny meant going to some kind of trailer park, surrounded by strange and terrifying looking groups of residents.

They were nice enough but they kept to themselves almost observing the rest of the party, and the other guests that were in attendance, most of which were rowdy college kids.

A few of the boys from the tryouts were there but they were unrecognizable without their uniforms and overly polite demeanour. Now instead of acting like perfect honour students trying to pad their resume, they were drunk, crazy, and obnoxious frat boys.

And I thought Ham could drink a lot.

Benny was attempting to mingle, but since he hadn't had to make any new friends since he was ten, it was a little difficult, he was looking for people who were exactly like the sandlot boys, but he wasn't finding anyone.

I on the other hand was sitting in the bed of Benny's truck, looking around at all the chaos going on. A few people attempted to talk to me, but it turned into them getting bored and walking off, almost forgetting that we were having a conversation.

"Hey Toni." It was Kenny, I turned towards his voice, he was holding a beer in one hand and the hand of a girl in another.

"Hey." I smiled.

He snatched the cup in my hand, forgetting about the girl, and took a sip. He gagged and spat the contents on the ground nearly missing the girls shoes.

"Toni, if your drink becomes warm it means you're not drinking it fast enough."

I shrugged, it was the same beer that Kenny had handed me tow hours ago when we first arrived. "Where's Benny?"

This time Kenny shrugged. "Around, last I saw him some of the boys were making him a shot of something."

I rolled my eyes, hoping down off the truck, Benny was supposed to only have a couple drinks and then drive us back, not get wasted.

"Thanks."

I drew a lot of attention as I walked through the groups of college students, I stood out being the only one who was able to walk without tipping over, and the fact that I had been the talk of the town for the past month.

I didn't know it until complete strangers knew my name and were asking me about how I managed to be apart of the coaching staff for the boys team.

Something they didn't get was that I wasn't part of the coaching staff, I was at most the equipment manager and had received a nasty message on my answering machine a few hours ago for leaving the field in such disarray. I was in such a bad mood that I had forgotten to clean up after the tryouts.

But the players saw me at tryouts and I was writing notes and making a minuscule contribution to who was given an invitation back, and that was enough for on lookers to think I was some kind of coach.

I found Benny, he was sitting on a couch on someones porch, four girls were squished on the couch with him chattering away. At the other end of the porch three guys stood looking on in jealousy.

I walked up the steps catching the boys attention, "Hey coach Spena." One of them greeted smiling, he was from the tryouts but I had no idea who he was. "You come to collect your boy? You might want to get him quickly before he leaves with someone else." I looked towards the couch where Benny was talking to one girl while another had her hand on his thigh stroking it carefully. He seemed completely unaware of the action.

"Oh my God. What did you do get him drunk?" I demanded gesturing to the scene before us.

"We didn't force him to do anything." A shaved headed boy with a awfully done spider tattoo said. "We just might have encouraged it."

The third boy was a shaggy head brunette that looked like he had just finished burning down a building, he looked like a trouble maker, the kind that stabbed bunnies when he was a kid.

"You're Benny's girlfriend?"

"What are they broadcasting it now?"

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Easy sassy, I'm just asking."

"Well yeah I am."

"You're not what I expected."

I decided to ignore him, he was probably trying to piss me off. "One of those girls belong to you or something?" I asked, choosing to try and piss him off too.

"Sorta, the brunette with the hand on his leg." I looked to see that her hand had slid up a little bit, Benny still unaware.

"She seems like a keeper."

"We hang out, but she knows that she's not my type." I rolled my eyes, he reminded me a bit like Ham in that aspect, but at least Ham had some respect for girls and didn't like them flirting with other boys in front of him.

"Nice."

"Easy." The bald headed boy said. "He's not her type either. It's just casual."

"Besides." The shaggy headed kid said. "Isn't that whats going on with you a latino romeo over there?"

"No, we've actually been dating for about 6 years."

"Ah that's too bad."

"Why?"

"Cause you're my type." I left him and his friends standing there laughing after me. Benny noticed me walking up to him then and smiled brightly before standing and giving me a hug.

"Hey Sunshine, where have you been?"

"Same place you left me an hour ago." I didn't mean to sound bitter but I was tired, Benny didn't seem to notice anyways as her pulled me into another hug.

I could smell the liquor coming off of him and I couldn't help but feel annoyed, I kew he was just having fun but dealing with two drunks was not something I wanted to deal with especially in this place, where I didn't really know anyone.

Benny pulled me down off the porch by the hand and pulled me through the crowd of people.

Benny was rushing so fast through the lane of people that he lost his balance, stumbled and fell, taking me with him, to the chorus of laughter.

"Better watch your step." Someone said from above us, I had landed with my head on Benny's stomach, and looked up to see Adam looking down at us.

"Did you fucking trip us?" I demanded pushing myself up from the soft dirt. His grin told me that he did, and I snapped, "What the hell is wrong with you?" I shoved him hard, but he only moved a couple steps.

"Hey!" A chorus rung out at my actions, Adam was laughing heavily spilling his drink as her shook violently with laughter.

Benny had scrambled to his feet, sobering slightly but still unaware of what was going on. "Do you have a problem with us?"

"Do you realize how ridiculous you look? It's like a bunny rabbit getting angry." Adam managed to get out before laughing again.

Benny pulled on my arm. "Toni, he's just drunk."

"I don't give a damn." I told Benny, "everyone's drunk but no one is tripping us for no damn reason."

"Toni seriously, let it go."

"Listen to your boyfriend Coach Spena, cause neither of you could win this argument."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you threatening us?" Benny pulled on my arm again but I shook him off. "Are you telling me that you would beat us up if we started fighting with you?"

"I'm not saying that." He grinned. "Wouldn't be a fight anyways."

"Adam leave your Coach alone, she could have you cut from the team." Someone called out from the crowd.

"She ain't a coach, she's just a water girl."

My anger boiled, there wasn't much I could say to him other than I thought he was an idiot, but for some reason in all my anger and embarrassment I found something else to do, which was spit right in his face.

"Whoa!" Benny's voice rang out as he immediately pulled me by the waist away from a steaming mad Adam and towards his car. "Toni what the heck was that?"

"He deserved it." I snapped.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can do it. You have a job now, you can't do things like that."

I ignored him, getting into the drivers seat, Benny knew he was too drunk to drive even with a bit of sobering up.

I didn't know why I did it, I mean I was angry, but there were going to be repercussions for what I did.

And boy, was I ever right.
