~~~~~~~~~Regular POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

My father, mother and I had finishe up dinner about and hour ago and I was getting undressed to get in the shower when I heard a light knock on my window. I wrapped a towel around my body and made my way to the window, pulling up the blinds and opening it. I wasnt suprised to see Benny standing outside with wide eyes at my appearence. He stammered, "I- just-I-Im sorry- I was just-"

I rolled my eyes, "Grow up Rodriguiz, im covered. It doesnt bother me." He seemed to let out a breath."What do you want?"

He set his elbows on my window ciel and talked to me, "Well, me and the guys were talking, and we think your a pretty good pitcher. We wanted to know if you would come play with us this summer, as a part of our team." He looked at me, his eyes somewhat begging, and I couldnt resist.

I smiled at him and sighed, "Alright Benjamin, I'll play with you guys." I paused. "But no funny business. " I said seriously.

He smirked, "You got it." He turned to crawl back inside his window and stopped. "We're all going swimming tomorrw. You should come." He smiled at me brightly.

I returned it. "I think I will." And I shut the window, closed the blinds-Im not stupid- and got into the shower. I crawled into bed a little later, thinking about how fun tomorrow would be.

I had just finished getting on my black bikini and grabbing a towel when I heard a knock on the front door. I tied my chocolate curls up into a ponytail, leaving out my bangs, and walked to the door. I opened it to see all the boys from yesterday standing lasily on my porch, Benny in front. He had no shirt and a tanned body. I could get used to this. But what I couldnt get used to, was the disgusting staring eyes of his friends. I smirked and looked at his chest, I chuckled and slapped his stomach, "Nice." He smirked and I made my way through the crowd of boys. I turned to them when they didnt follow, "What? Are we going to stand on my porch all day and gawk at me? Or are we going to the pool?" Stammers of, 'We're goin to the pool..yeah.' were heard as we made our way down the empty sidewalk to the community pool. I was walking in front with Benny now, and I could here the boys behind me, whispering to eachother.

"Shes better than Wendy!"

"No shit!"

"Benny's lucky he lives next door to her."

"Sweet mother of Jesus!"

"Yeah, yeah, shes like five Wendy's!"

I didnt know who this Wendy person was, but i wanted to know. I turned up the corners of my mouth and leaned over to whisper to Benny, "Whos Wendy?"

He turned his head to me and smiled at me, quietly chuckling. "She the lifegaurd at the pool. A real looker." He whispered back.

I giggled slightly and spoke to him again, "Race you." I rose my chin like I was something special.

He stopped and turned to me, "Your on. Loser buys ice cream."

I smiled, "I hope you brought your wallet then Benny-boy." He smirked down at me. "Hey, Ham, call it!."

Ham sauntered up to the front of the mob with us, "Okay, ready, on your mark, get set, go!"He shouted, and we were off.

We were neck and neck when we started off, then when the pool came into view, I noticed he slowed down consiterably. I beat him by at least ten seconds, and I knew what he did.

I walked up to him and stood chest to chest with him. "You let me win." I stated looking up at him with a sly smile.

He smiled back down at me, "Yeah." I gently socked him in the arm, laughing quietly.

"Your killing me Rodriguiz!" I said dramtically.

He rolled his eyes jokingly, "Yeah, yeah. Are we gonna stand here and yell at me all day? Or are we gonna swim?" He said mocking my earlier comment.

I rolled my eyes back at him, "Well Benjamin, we are at a pool. We're going to swim of course!"

He smiled, his eyes lighting up, "Thats what I thought."

All the boys started putting sunscreen on. I had finished the rest of my body, when I found out that im not an ape and I cant reach my own back. I sighed, "Okay, which one of you will put the sunscreen on my back?" All of their hands shot up. I rolled my eyes, "You all are a bunch of pigs." I paused and put on my best innocent look, "I'll just go find some handsome, chiseled, man to do it." I said sweetly and started to walk away to find someone. I could hear the boys behind me and laughed to myself.

"Is she saying we're not manly?"

"Nice going guys!"

Then I heard whispering but couldnt understand what was being said. Suddenly I was scooped up in to someones arms, "Eek!" I screamed. I was then thrown over the shoulder of a laughing Benny like a sack of potatoes and a crowd of even laughier boys surrounded me. "Benjamin! Put me down right now!" He laughed even harder.

He called to his friend, "Yeah-yeah, put it on!" Just then a seriously giggly boy rubbed sunscreen on my back.

I rolled my eyes, "Okay Benny. You got your way. Can you put me down now?"

He chuckled again. "Gladly." Then I was sent flying into the pool, letting out a blood-curtling scream before I hit the water. Ouch. Bare backs dont feel good smashing against water. Woah, what are those dots? Oh shit. And it went black.

I could hear shouts above me and I felt strong arms encircle my waist and bring me to the surface, laying me flat on the pool decking. I could feel a lot of people hovering above me and a boy telling me to breath and that he was sorry. Oh, is Benjamin gonna get it now! I sat up and coughed up probably half of the pool on to the decking beside me. I looked up to Benny and met his eyes. "Oh God Alexis! Im so sorry! I didnt kno-"

SLAP!

His head flew to the side as my palm collided with it. Without saying another word, I got up, gathered my stuff, and walked back home. Leaving all of the boys in complete and utter shock.
