Wow. That took me a while. I had hoped to type up more than one chapter but... Here it is. Now I might go write for MY story.

-next week- Benny's POV

"OMG!" Taylor squealed, shocking the boys and I yet again. Man, she's good at that. "My friends are coming in half an hour! Can I leave just to great them then come back Benny?" She asked, using her puppy dog eyes. That always worked.

"Alright." I complied. She squealed again, started repeatedly saying "Thank You" over and over, kissed me on the cheek and ran out of the sandlot.

Taylor just kissed me on the cheek. The boys were staring at me, then looked at where Taylor had just ran off, then back at me.

Finally Squints said, "You're one lucky duck Benny, a girl like that having the hots for you!"

I countered, "She was just happy, she doesn't like me." (But you want her to) 'Who are you?' (I'm Bob, your conscience.) 'Why are you bothering me about Taylor?' (Because you won't admit you like her, and I'm here to help you.) 'Well BOB I don't want your help so GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'

I snapped out of my mind battle to say, "Base up, you blockheads!" to the boys.

The next 28 minutes and 6 seconds were the worst time of my life, being distracted by Taylor I conked out of the game. I couldn't even hit the ball! We stopped and before the boys could ask what was wrong I heard my name.

Everyone turned around and saw the three most gorgeous girls ever. In the middle was Taylor Bentley, my kind of girl, wearing a dress just 3" above her knees. The girl on her left was perfect for Ham, with red hair, freckles and was a little over weight. The girl on Taylor's right had brown hair, a baby-ish face and seemed like she has a bubbly personality and talks a lot. Perfect for Yeah-Yeah.

They headed over to us as if in slow motion and when they arrived Taylor introduced them.

"Hey guys, my friends are Ali and Liz. Liz is the red-headed girl, and Ali is the brown-haired girl. Liz is the girl version of Ham, while Ali is Yeah-Yeah's."

"Yeah-Yeah's what?" Smalls asked, behind us as usual.

Taylor rolled her eyes. "Ali is the girl version of Yeah-Yeah." she explained.

"Yeah-yeah." Ali and Yeah-Yeah said simultaneously, then looked at each other.

"Hello, my real name is Alan McClennan, and what is yours?" Yeah-Yeah asked, shaking her hand. He never had introduced himself by his real name then shaken their hand in my time of knowing him! This Ali must be very special.

"Allison good man, nice to meet you!" She replied.

"Liz talks a lot and has a temper." Taylor explained.

"What's that mean?" Liz screamed, seems like the perfect match for Ham, he was staring at her already. "BTW what are we doing with these vermin? And if it's too hard for your stupid boy brains to process and figure out BTW means by the way." Wow, she must really not like boys but Ham likes a challenge.

"BTW to you, we don't want you here either!" Ham countered.

"That's great for me! Now leave!"

"No, I meant for you to leave!"

"No way!"

"GO!"

"NO!"

By now they were two inches away. Suddenly Liz realized how close they were and screamed and jumped away, a blush spreading across her cheeks. Taylor gave her a look that said "I'll talk to you later" before addressing us.

"See? She does have a temper!" She said, making us all crack up.

"Maybe I do and maybe I don't is that such a crime?" Liz said with a snotty French accent that had absolutely nothing to do with the sentence! That brought the end to Squints but not in the way you'd think... he finally cracked like the time he kissed Wendy Peffercom, he started rolling in the dirt at out feet laughing his butt off.

"It seems I have that effect on boys!" Liz said, flipping her hair back, watching us laugh, yet again.

Hi... Happy (late) St. Patrick's day!
