I turn to look at him. "What?!" I say in shock

"I wanna be yours" he puts his arms around my waist "and I don't mind keeping it a secret so your brother doesn't know, as long as get to be with you, that's all that matters"

I kiss him.

"Does that mean mean you'll be with me?" He asks.

"Yes" I smile widely and kiss him again.

After a few minutes we carry on walking to my house. When we get there, I kiss him goodbye and walk into my house. I take my shoes off and walk into the kitchen. I see Jordan.

"Why are you back so late?" He asks me.

"Why do you care?" I reply

"Because I'm your older brother."

"Only by like 1 day!" I point out.

"Yeah well I'm still older." He says.

"Whatever, how are things with Wendy?" I change the subject.

"We decided to stay friends" i pat him on the shoulder.

"Good choice." I say. Jordan laughs. I grab two bottles of coke out of the fridge and pass Jordan one.

"I never see you anymore, where are you all the time?" He asks.

"I hang out with the girls from school a lot" I lie. Hopefully he doesn't think too much of it, because he knows that at school I don't get a long with many of the girls, I don't get along with many of the boys either. I usually hang out with Jordan. There are a few girls I get along with,

they're very nice.

"It's late, we should get to bed." We go to our rooms. I go to sleep happier than normal.

The next morning I wake up to a knocking on my window. I open my curtains and see Benny.

"We're gonna be late, get ready mi amor."

"Okay just wait over there" I point over to the part of the road that's out of view from my house, so that Philips doesn't see anything. I quickly get ready and rush out of my house. I jog over to Benny. I hug him.

"Heyy" I smile at him.

"You ready to go to the sandlot?"

I nod and we start walking there.

"Should we tell the boys?" Benny asks.

"They aren't the best at keeping secrets" I point out. Benny laughs

"Yeah, good point"

When we get to the sandlot, we let go of each other's hands and walk in. Everyone is already there.

"Hey guys!" I yell

"You two took ages!" Says ham.

"They were probably making out or something" said squints. Me and Benny look at each other and smile.

"I just woke up a bit late, calm down" I say. We all walk over to the dugout.

"Squints I got some good news!" I say. Everyone looks at me.

"What is it?" He asks eagerly.

"Wendy and my brother decided to be friends, so Wendy isn't with anyone."

His eyes lit up. "Really!?"

"Yep, go talk to her!" I say. Without saying a word, he gets up and runs out of the sandlot, I assume he went to the pool where Wendy was working as a lifeguard.

We all decide to play baseball. Squints didn't come back so we all assumed it was going well with Wendy. It got late so we decided to go home. Me and Benny leave last so we don't have to walk with the other boys. Benny puts out his hand, I take it and we head home.

"I hope everything goes well with Wendy and squints." Benny says.

"Yeah, hopefully Wendy likes him back, even though she's a few years older"

"She's only a year older than me and you." Benny says.

"Which means she's two years older than squints."

Me and benny are both 14. Bertram and Kenny are 13. The rest of the boys are 12 but soon to be 13. Squints 12th birthday is coming up very soon and Wendy only just turned 15, so the age gap between Wendy and squints is a bit straight but not too bad.

"Age is just a number" Benny says.

"fair enough" I laugh.

We get to my house. I kiss Benny and walk inside.
