Slam! He had thrown the ball at the fence right next to where she was positioned."Friar! Where was that one going?" Coach yelled from in front of the dug out.
"Sorry coach, it slipped."
"Well that's the only one you get! Alright guys, team meeting by 1st base, hussle up!"
After Riley's heart stopped from the shock of the noise, she finally looked up at this mysterious boy who had "accidentally" thrown the ball right at her. He had a grin on his face and his eyes were the bluest Riley had ever seen. She could get lost in those eyes... Wait a minute.
"You did that on purpose."
"Who me?" He asked.
"Yes you! You've been throwing perfect strikes right up until I got behind the plate. Are you trying to break my camera, or were you trying to give me a heart atack?"
"I would never. I had to get your attention somehow."
Did he just say that?
"Friar!"
"Coming Coach Gleason!" He smiled and turned to run to the team meeting.
As Riley sat in shock of what had just happened, her phone starting buzzing. Thank heavens for her best friend Maya. Maya was known to get her out of a jam a time or two. "Maya where are you? I need you!"
