The next morning, I woke up to the sound of something being thrown at my window.
I slowly got out of bed and walked over to my window to find Benny, Squints, and Ham standing outside, throwing rocks at my window.
I rolled my eyes and opened the window. "Guys, what are you doing?" I yelled down to them.
"Well, you weren't at the sandlot, so we figured you slept in," Benny yelled back.
Crap, I forgot I accidentally hit snooze on my alarm.
"Hold on, I'll be down there in a minute," I replied.
I quickly got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair, and rushed out the door.
"You guys could've knocked on the front door, you know," I told them as we started walking to the sandlot.
"You idiot," Ham said to Squints.
"What? I didn't know. I thought she'd be mad, and outside was a safe distance," Squints defended himself.
Benny rolled his eyes at the two, and soon, we made it to the sandlot.
"Did you get enough sleep, princess?" Yeah-Yeah, asked teasing me.
"I did. Thanks for asking," I replied.
We had been playing for a couple of hours when I heard Squints complain.
"Oh no!" He exclaimed.
Ham dropped his glove angrily, and Benny grabbed his bat. Everyone followed them, and they started walking up to the group of kids that just showed up on their bikes.
"Who are they?" I whispered to Elle, following everyone.
"Don't ask me," she responded.
"Yeah, it's easy when you play with a bunch of rejects and a fat kid, Rodriguez. And apparenty girls now, " the boy in the middle said.
Um, who does he think he is?
"Shut your mouth, Phillips," Benny replied angrily.
"What'd you say crap face?" Ham asked.
"I said you shouldn't even be allowed to touch a baseball expect for Rodriguez. You're all an insult to the game," Phillips replied.
"Come on, we'll take you on right here right now. Come on!" Ham exclaimed, turing to look at everyone else.
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
"We play on a real diamond, Porter. You're not good enough to lick the dirt off our cleats," Phillips smirked.
"Watch it, jerk," Ham shot back.
"Shut up, idiot," Phillips scoffed.
"Moron!" Ham yelled.
"Scab eater!"
"Butt sniffer!"
"Puss licker!"
