Chapter Eight – Play Ball

Stars Hollow High School Field

"Alright Alexis, it's your turn. Your up." Will said he was batting after her.

"Uh I changed my mind again I don't wanna play." She started

"Oh come just try it please!!!" Will said

Alexis just rolled her eyes and smiled. "Fine," and she picked the bat up off the ground and stood over home plate.

"Come Alex you can do it!!!" Kevin shouted as did the rest of their team mates.

Mark was pitcher, Nock was second baseman, Robert was third baseman, and then there was the rest of the team.

"Ok I hope you're ready." Mark yelled as he pitched the ball towards Alex.

She swung the bat but had her eyes closed. "Strike 1" Robert yelled.

"Come on Alexis you can do this just keep your eye on the ball." William said from behind the backstop.

"Right, I can do this." Alex whispered to her self and stood over the plate again.

Mark threw the ball and Alex swag the bat really hard and ended up spinning around while doing it but she had hit the ball. They all paused and watched to see how far it went it had gone past second base and into the outfield, Kevin was the only one who wasn't watching and yelled, 'Run Alex run!!' with that everyone was out of their daze and Alex headed for first base while the first baseman waited for the ball. The first baseman caught the ball right after Alex had touched the base. While people on her team that had already been out on the field made two home runs. Everyone on Will's team cheered.

After that they all continued playing the game for about another hour. Then they all had to leave. "Ok so final score. Nick's team 17 and Will's team 19. Yet again Danes continued his undefeated reign." Robert said.

"Yea, yea yea…" Kevin said. "So we all hanging out tomorrow??" he asked

'Yeas' and 'I'm ins' where what the four other guys said and then he turned towards Alex, "What about you Alex can you come??"

She was surprised that they wanted to hang out with her again, "Uh, yea sure I'm in."

"Ok then it's settled we'll all meet in that town square tomorrow at 11?" He said and everyone agreed them started heading home and William and Alexis headed towards the diner.

"That was so much fun!!" Alex said on their walk back to the diner.

"Yea it was and who knew you could play like that, you seriously do have some Danes blood in you if you can throw like that…. Oh man am I hungry!!" William said.

"Same here, Race you to the diner."

"You're on Mariano." Will said and they both started running cutting through the town square.

"Oh would you look at that, I win!!" Will said while smiling.

"Yea yea whatever I let you win." Alexis said while opening the door to the diner and entering.

"Sure Alex." Will said and followed her.
