Chapter 2: Start Of A New Beginning
Finally, the last bell of the day had rung, and Charlie stood at the top of the hill, looking down on the baseball field, she was debating whether or not to try out.
"You really should." a voice behind her said. The brunette whipped around and saw Martin.
"Should what?" She asked, acting like she had no idea what he was talking about.
"You really should try out. They have good coaches here." he said, Charlie nodded.
"Well then, wish me luck." she said, forcing a smile.
"You don't need it." Martin said as he followed her down the hill and towards the field, when Charlie went onto the field with her glove, and he sat on the bleachers.
A few minutes after the tryouts had started, Mac had shown up and sat beside Martin. "Hey." he said as he sat down.
Martin turned to Mac, "Hey."
"Ruthie and Meredith are on their way down, they were asking for you." he said as he turned to face the group of girls that were out on the field, and Charlie was standing on the pitcher's mound. "She's a pitcher?"
"Yeah." Martin said, focussing on the field, as Charlie was about to pitch the ball to the batter. The ball flew pass the batter, just as Ruthie and Meredith came down.
"Hey." Meredith said as she sat down beside Martin and kissed him. Ruthie repeated Meredith and sat a level down on the bleachers.
"Hey." Martin said, as he smiled at his girlfriend and then turned back to the field.
"So, what are we doing down here watching the girls baseball tryouts? I mean, I know why Mac's watching..." Meredith asked, curious to know.
Mac ignored the last comment stated by Meredith, "well Martin bumped into an old friend today, and she's trying out."
"Oh really? Which one is she?"
"She's the pitcher." Martin replied, and Meredith and Ruthie turned to see Charlie strike the girl out. Meredith cheered and the three of them looked at her.
"What? Isn't that a good thing?" she asked, a little embarassed. Martin laughed, along with Ruthie and Mac, as they continued watching.
About an hour later, tryouts were over and Charlie made her way off the field, she got to the dugout and grabbed a bottle of water taking a sip and taking her hair out of the messy bun and shaking her head so it would flow just right. She grabbeand "Hey, you came." she said to Martin and "Hey, you came." she said to Martin and Mac.
"Yeah." Martin replied. "And this is Meredith, Ruthie, and you know Mac."
"Yeah. Nice to meet you." she smiled and shook Meredith and ruthie's hand.
"You too." the two girls said.
Charlie saw her sister, "well I gotta go, Martin give me a call, it was nice meeting you guys." she flashed them a smile and then walked up to her sister.
The four of them watched her run up to her sister, and it looked like her sister was angry at her with something and then they turned around. "So, what's the story about her?" Ruthie asked curiously.
"She was my best friend before I had to move here. She's from New York." he said.
"How come you never mentioned her?" Ruthie asked.
"We stopped talking a few days after I moved here." he shrugged.
