CHAPTER 7 Caught
"Hey Matthew!" Casey called as she walked into the library.
"Hey Casey." Matthew smiled at her.
"So why did you ask me here?" Casey asked, sitting down next to him at the table. "I mean, we finished the project yesterday."
"Well," Matthew was suddenly nervous. "I was…."
"You was what?" Casey asked.
"I was wondering if you want to go out with me?" he said quickly.
"What?" Casey asked in surprise.
"Would you go out with me?" he repeated slowly.
"You mean like boyfriend girlfriend?" Casey asked. This had never happened to her before. Any time someone even thought about asking her out, Benny chased him off.
"Yeah." Matthew blushed.
"Sure." Casey smiled. "I'll go out with you. But don't tell Benny."
"I wouldn't dream of it." Matthew agreed. "As long as you don't tell Phillips."
"Why would I tell him? Casey asked confused.
"He's my step-brother." Matthew pretended to gag. "My mom married his dad last year. Worst year of my life so far."
"I bet." Casey said. She already knew this because Phillips sister had told her one day.
He looked at her nervously.
"What?" Casey asked.
"Nothing." He said.
They sat their for a minute. Matthew kept glancing at her. Then, he leaned in and kissed her quickly. To her surprise, Casey found herself kissing him back.
"Oh my gosh!" a familiar voice said from an isle.
The two quit kissing and turned quickly to see the sandlot gang in one isle and the Giants in another.
"What do you two think you're doing?" Benny and Phillips exclaimed at the same time.
//////////////////// Earlier that day at the Sandlot//////////////////////////
"Where's Casey, Benny?" Squints asked when Benny showed up alone.
"She had to go to the library again." Benny replied.
"Again?" Kenny exclaimed. "That's every day this week!"
"Yeah-Yeah!" Yeah-Yeah agreed.
"She's doing a history project with Ginny Kendrick." Benny told them.
"But Ginny Kendrick's not in her history class." Smalls said.
"What?" Benny asked.
"Ginny Kendrick is in my history class." Smalls told him.
"I thought she was lying!" Benny exclaimed. "Come on."
He took off toward the exit.
"Wait Benny!" Timmy called after him. "Where are we going?"
"Where are we going?" Tommy repeated.
"The library." Benny didn't turn around.
The gang looked at each other, then quickly ran after him.
///////////////////////Earlier that day at the Giant's Field//////////////////
"Where's Matthew?" Terry, the shortstop, asked Phillips when he arrived at the field.
"He said he had to go to the library with Ginny Kendrick." Phillips said snobbishly. "Some history project."
"But Ginny's not in his history class." Kerry, the first baseman, announced. "She's in mine!"
"He's dead." Phillips growled, walking off the field. "No one lies to me and skips practice."
The team looked at each before hurrying after their captain.
/////////////////////////Back at the library after caught kissing/////////////
"What do you two think you're doing?" Benny and Phillips exclaimed at the same time.
The two teams were just staring at them. Matthew and Casey jumped up at the same time.
"Benny!" Casey gulped.
"Mark." Matthew said just after him.
"Cassandra Casey Rodriguez!" Benny ran up to his sister, grabbed her arm, and jerked her away from Matthew.
Casey flinched as he yelled out her whole name. She shook free of her brother's grip and moved back to stand by Matthew.
"What do you think you were doing?" he repeated.
"What did it look like Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez?" Casey snapped back. "What do you think you're doing here? Why aren't you playing baseball?"
"Cause Smalls told us that Ginny Kendricks isn't in you're class!" Benny was yelling.
"Scotty!" Casey turned to glare at him.
"I didn't know it was a secret!" Smalls objected.
"So what are you doing here?" Casey turned back to her brother. She put her hands on her hip and glared at him.
"Cause I don't like you lying to me!" Benny was furious.
"I'm out of here." Casey shook her head. "Sorry Matthew."
"That's all right." He replied. "I think I'll go with you."
"No you don't Matthew!" Phillips ran forward and grabbed his step-brother. "You can go out with anyone you want as long as it's not Rodriguez's sister!"
"You don't have control over me, Mark." Matthew shook loose. "We're only step-brothers!"
Benny grabbed his sister's arm.
"You're not going anywhere." He said threateningly, "I'm older and you have to do what I say."
"Since when have I done that?" Casey asked sarcastically. "Come on Matthew, let's get out of here."
He grabbed her hand and the two of them walked out of the library.
