We were at the playing field and to my bad luck, the little leaguers were there training, I rested my hands on the fence and my tummy was tossing and turning "Hey David, can I go home I don't feel too good" I said holding my stomach, he nodded and I made my way home as quick as possible.
I had been home for a while and I hadn't spoken to Singleton, David, or anyone really, I was too scared about what happened, but I finally realised I couldn't hide all my life, so Friday evening I went to the Sandlot with the guys, only to find out it was the biggest mistake of my life.
We were waiting for something but I didn't know what "You feeling better today?" Hayleigh asked, I nodded "Yeah thanks, so why aren't you guys playin today?" I asked confused "Well we ran into some sexist pigs, and were gonna play em and win" she said proudly, I chuckled "Here they are now" she said pointing behind me, I turned around and froze, there walking in with his team was Singleton "Oh crap" I said shaking my head, the boys got onto the field "What's wrong?" Hayleigh asked "Remember that guy I was dating, I said he was sexist"
I said still watching the other team, she nodded "That's him" I squeaked, her eyes widened "Singleton?" she asked, I nodded "Wow" she said in shock "I know, I can't help that I have a thing for short guys with good hair" I said flopping down onto the seat, Hayleigh stood there for a moment "Your pitching" she said pulling me up, it was time for me to be shocked "What?" I exclaimed, everyone turned their attention on me including Singleton "Violet?" he asked "How do you know my sister creep?" David asked, I held my hair in nervousness "Not good" I mumbled on repeat "She's your sister? My girlfriend, is your sister?" Singleton asked, everyone's eyes widened except Hayleigh's "My sisters your girlfriend?"
David said turning to me, everyone's eyes were on me again and I nervously chuckled "Bye" I said quickly, I tried to make a runner for it but David easily caught me and dragged me round back "Explain!" he shouted, I winced "I'm sorry, I would've told you but you hated him" I said, he shook his head "How could you even date him? He's my worst enemy I never though you would do this to me Violet" he said shaking his head, he walked away and soon enough Hayleigh came round "You alright?" she asked, a tear fell down my cheek and I shook my head "Not really, I think I just lost my brother" I said, she shook her head "No you didn't, he's a big boy he'll get over it"
she said reasuringly "What about Singleton?" I asked looking at her "He may take a while" she said, I nodded and wiped away the tear "Here, now go out there, and show that guy that we girls can beat him at anythin" she said handing me the ball, I chuckled and we walked into the field, I stood at the pitch point and Singleton shook his head "Are you kidding? A girl pitcher, it's like you guys wanna lose" he said chuckling, as much as I was falling for him that comment made me snap "Oh you wait sweetheart" I said in my normal voice, which was the first time I had ever used it around him,
he got ready and I took another deep breath "Don't blink" Mac said to him, I rolled my eyes and did the pitch, it knocked Mac down and Singletons eyes widened, I gave him a cocky smirk and tossed my hair out of the way "Sorry, you need me to call that for you? STRIKE!" Mac shouted, I chuckled "Shut up donut belly, that's illegal you can't pitch like that" Singleton said to me, I raised my eyebrows "Oh it's legal"Mac said crouching back down "Get used to dissapointment darlin" I said, Singleton glared slightly before getting back into position, I pitched and he missed, twice
"Oh yeah, that's how we do it" I exclaimed when he was out, he yanked off the helmet and threw it on the ground, he stood off to the side and was glaring at me "Sit down" I said in annoyance.
Hayleigh was on bat and we were all tense, if she hit this right then we won, the guy pitched and she swung the bat, the ball flew over to the large dumpster wall and nearly went over it, we all cheered for her as she ran and I saw Singleton yank off his helmet, he shouted to the boys to throw it but I was busy watching Hayleigh win, she nearly got to the last base and I saw Singleton catch the ball, I had a feeling I knew what he was gonna do but I didn't wanna believe it "No, don't you dare"
I said more to myself, he elbowed Hayleigh in the stomach and my hands flew to my mouth, she fell down and he tagged her, we all ran over to Hayleigh and I heard a punching noise, I saw Singleton on the floor holding his nose while David stared him down, go on big brother, the girls helped Hayleigh up while Singletons boys helped him up "The Sandlot's ours, forever, don't mess with my team mates, stay away from my sister, and you never hit a girl creep!"
David shouted, Singleton limped away with his friends and two tears fell down my cheeks, I knew he had an obsession with winning but I never though he would really cross that line "Violet..." David started, I stood up from the dug-out "You don't have to say anything, I know I messed up" I snapped before speed-walking home.
