"Benny" I said and ran up to him and gave him a really big hug. We hugged for at least half a minute straight. "Oh my god Sofia you came back" he smiled and gave me a last quick hug. "Yeah i thought mom told you" I said.

He explained everything to me and then introduced me to his friends.

"Thats Squints Palledorous he spat,Yeah-Yeah he spat,Hamilton 'Ham' Porter he spat,Scotty smalls he just smiled shyly,Kenny DeNunez he spat,Timmy Timmons he spat, Tommy 'repeat' Timmons he spat as well,Bertram Grover"he spat again but he was last.

I just waved at them. "Where have you been all my life" squints said in a "flirty" way. Benny was fast to make a face at him. "Dude stop she's my sister. Anyways guys this is my sister Sofia" he said and rolled his eyes at squints. Squints just shrugged. "Does she play to?" Kenny said. "Uh no she does not" I said sarcastically joking with them. "Oh well what are you gonna do now?" Smalls said shyly. "Uh I don't know I don't want to interrupt your ga-" I started but Benny cut me off. "No no sorry guys but I haven't seen my sister in years so imma just spend the rest of the day with her alright" Benny said not rudely but sternly a bit. They all nodded and and went heir separate ways after saying bye.

Me and Benny walked out the sandlot and went home. "So where have you and dad been all these years" he asked. I was skating next to him on the sidewalk. "New York have you and mom stay here all these years?" I asked while doing a small kick flip. "Mhm oh- and do you want me to show you around town a bit there's actually some cool places here" he suggested. "Yes ofc I haven't seen you in forever bro I missed you" I stopped and hugged him again. "Ok ok I know I'm a very missable person I mean look at me I'm perfect" he exaggerated and smiled stupidly. I just rolled my eyes and ruffled his hair just to mess it up.

we made it home just in time for a snack. "Hola mama we're back" Benny said. "Hola Mami" I said and gave her a hug again. God I live hugging people makes me happy I thought. "Hey babies what are you guys up to" she smiled looking at us. "I was gonna show sofi around town" he sat down and drank water. "Yeah spend some brother sister time" i smiled and grabbed a juice box. (Yes we childish like that😩🤟) Benny laughed at me again. I just rolled my eyes jokingly.

Anyways time skip to Benny and i are at an ice cream parlor. "What would you kids like" the old guys said smiling. "Uh I'll take two scoops offfffff uhhh strawberry please" Benny said not really knowing what to get. I laughed a bit cuz I laugh at everything even in serious situations. "I'll just take the same please" the guy nodded and went to get the ice creams. "Copy cat" Benny whispered. "Oh please as if I'll want to copy you señor know it all" I laughed. Finally the ice cream came and Benny paid.

After we ate the ice cream we went to a roller skating rink. We got our roller skates and headed towards the rink. "Hey do you even know how to roller skate sis" Benny asked while holding on to me for balance. "I skate board there for im pretty sure i can balence very well" I said and guided him to the rink.

We got in and not even 5 minutes in to trying to skate Benny fell straight on his ass. "Pfffttttt hahahahahahah" I started laughing so so hard my stomach started to hurt. "It's not even that funny SoFia" he said my name in a different way if Yk what i mean (not sure if you do). "Oh trust me it is hahahah" I said laughing. Eventually I got over it and we skated togetehr for a good hour and a half.

We ended up spending the rest of the day together just messing around and talking about memories of our selves with friends. It was now around 9 pm and we were at the sandlot because Benny forgot his hat there. We got back home and our mom left a not saying

I went to bed early because I have work tomorrow morning so there's food in the refrigerator if your hungry goodnight,

love Mami

I smiled to myself as Benny just said goodnight and went to sleep. I ate some pretzels cuz it's just a little snack. I took a shower,brushed my teeth,skincare,and lastly texted Charlie goodnight and went to sleep myself. By 10:30 it was silent everyone was asleep besides me I guess.

For some reason I couldn't sleep. I wasn't tired or very energetic, I was just... bored. I was laying in bed for a good 30 minutes trying to think what to do. Finally after long time of thinking I decided to go on a walk.

It was 11 pm now really dark besides the street lights. Before I left I grabbed my taser/flashlight it's a two in one. Comes in handy since in New York it's always busy and scary at night. Anyways I grabbed a hoodie and put on my shoes and left without making noise obviously I didn't want to get la chancla.

I walked around the block once then twice. Then I got bored so I just wandered around. I ended up at another baseball field. I heard noises tho. It was like something hitting another thing hard. I was confused and curious so I gripped onto my taser and walked towards it. I ended up in front of an open gate where I saw a light. There was a boy hitting baseball balls with his bat. I only saw the back of him.

I was debating if I should go up to him or not. I decided to go up to him i was so bored. I walked up to him and I stepped on somthing and made a crunch noise so he swung his bat and I ducked right on time. "Woah hey chill" I said getting back up until I realized who was standing right in front of me. The Phillips dude. Great way to go Sofia.

"What the fuck are you crazy I could have hit you" he sounded concerned for some reason. I made a weird face at him. "Yeah like you would care if you did" I snapped at him. "Actually yes I would. I don't want your blood on my new bat" he smiled sarcastically. Ugh bitch. "What are you even doing here and who even are you" he asked confused but then recognized me. "Oh your that one girl" he said. "The one you met at that store yes it's me. The one and only" I flipped my hair dramatically and smiled. He rolled his eyes but laughed a bit.

We talked for a bit on the field. He wasn't that bad. His name was Jordan Phillips. Captain of the baseball varsity team the Tigers. Cool. He was asking where I came from and I told him a couple things about me beside my fathers dead and Benny being my brother cuz that never came up. *ps keep that in mind*

"Wait wait so you really jumped over that big fence?!? Just for a 'lucky ball'?" I said with quotation mark hands. I laughed a bit. "Yes I would do anything for that ball it's my lucky ball like I said my father gave it to me" he said and smiled. Ha his father that's nice. "Did he give you a bat as well-oh-oh let me guess a matching set" I said and laughed. "Yes yea he did what are you psychic" he giggled. Bruh tht was cute. No shut up sofia ugh. "No just all rich kids have a matching set of everything" I said and laid my head on the grass now looking up.

He didn't tho I didn't ask why. He stayed sitting up. It was silent but a comfortable silence. I don't know I felt safe in his presence I can't explain it even though I've only known him for not even a full day.

That night I ended up coming home at 1 am thank god no one knew I was gone. Or so I thought...
