Home Run to My Heart [The Sandlot 1993 Fanfic]

Ch. 6 The Market

Katherine and Scotty walked out of the Sandlot and onto the busy road. They stopped walking, waiting for the lights to turn red so they could walk the street to the nearby market to get some things for their parents and themselves.

As the siblings waited, Scotty turned his head to look at the Sandlot. His blue eyes widened when he saw Ham on the ground, unconscious with a bloody nose. Meanwhile, the other boys held Benny back, glaring at the other male.

" Did we, um, have to leave?" Scotty asked. He looked away and turned his gaze to Katherine.

Unaware of the debacle behind her, Katherine watched the lights, waiting for them to turn red.

" Yes. That asshole didn't have the right to body slam you." Katherine bitterly speaks. " You guys were playing Baseball. Not Football." She sneered.

Scotty lightly bites his lips since he doesn't know what to say. He turned his head back, and his blue eyes blinked when he saw Benny walking away from the group and heading in their direction.

" Hey, Kitty! Smalls! Wait up!" Benny shouts.

Katherine's green eyes blinked, seeing the lights turn red, letting her know it was time for her and Scotty to start walking. She briefly turned her head back and saw Benny approaching them.

" What do you want?" Katherine asked.

" Since we, um, live in the same block. I thought it was best to walk you guys home." Benny stood beside the siblings.

Scotty looked at Katherine and Benny.

" You know we don't know the way back, right?" Scotty looks at Katherine knowingly.

" Touche." Katherine annoyingly rolled her green eyes. " We planned to go to the market first to get some things for our parents and ourselves. Want to join us?" She asked.

" Sure!" Benny brightly smiled. " Let's get going before the light turns green." He motions the siblings to the street.

Katherine nodded.

Katherine, Scotty, and Benny walked across the street to the market. They got inside and grabbed two carts, one for the Smalls siblings and one for Benny.

" I'll also get some things for my folks and me." Benny smiled.

" You have money?" Katherine asked, looking curious.

" I do! I help my Dad and all my Tios with their gardening job on the weekend. I get twenty dollars an hour." Benny winks while patting his right pant pocket.

" What about you?" Benny asked.

" Before coming to this town, I would babysit children or animals during the weekend. I also get twenty dollars an hour." Katherine responded.

" That's cool." Benny nodded.

" Let's go find some stuff for home, Scotty." Katherine turns her gaze to Scotty.

Scotty nodded.

" See you at the cashier." Katherine waves goodbye and begins to walk away with Scotty.

Scotty waved goodbye.

" See you." Benny waved goodbye, watching the Smalls siblings walk away.

Katherine and Scotty walked through the aisle, getting vegetables, fruits, milk, and juice for their family. Meanwhile, they got snacks for themselves, such as cookies, chips, and Capri sun.

" Kat! Can I get that?" Scotty asked while pointing at the Fruity Pebble cereal.

Katherine turned her gaze and nodded when she saw Scotty pointing at the Fruity Pebble cereal. She watched her younger brother run toward the shelf but noticed he couldn't reach it.
