after bertram moved away, or disappeared, the guys needed another player on the team. as there were no other guys in town, and you were benny's next door neighbor, he invited you to play. 
                          
now don't get me wrong you did like baseball, you just didn't know how to play. benny said you'd pick it up as you go, but that wasn't the case. 
                          
"okay Y/N, how about you just try batting first." benny suggested handing you his bat. 
                          
"sounds good." you said taking it and walking over to home plate. you took your position. to be honest, you didn't think it was half bad. 
                          
"i can't believe a girl is playing with us." ham said as kenny pitched. 
                          
"shit." you muttered as you missed. 
                          
"strike one!" ham said, as if he was bragging. you took position again. "shouldn't you be off painting your nails or something?" ham asked as kenny pitched again. 
                          
don't let it bother you. you thought as you readied yourself again. "and strike three you're out." ham said before you even hit the ball. "ha! see benny! i told you a girl couldn't play baseball!" ham yelled to everyone. 
                          
anger possessed you for five seconds. 
                          
"fuck it!" you tried to say calmly as you dropped the bat. 
                          
"Y/N, wait." benny tried to call you back but you kept walking out of there. the boys started yelling at benny about something but he kept running after you. "look Y/N, i know theyre acting like dicks now, but they do that to everyone!" benny started. 
                          
"look benny, i would love to play but, one, i dont know how. two, im a girl, and they wont accept me. and three-" 
                          
"look, i could teach you, later, ya know." he said sheepishly. 
                          
"good, cause i didn't even have a three." you smiled and walked to your house. 
                          
"tonight, at seven. my place!" he yelled as you walked away. you just waved and waited for seven o clock to arrive. 
                          
-----------------
                          
seven soon arrived in the neighborhood as you were not so patiently waiting. you liked benny, being his neighbor and all you saw him a lot, and couldn't help not liking him. 
                          
as soon as the clock hit seven you walked to the door and went over to his house. you knocked softly and luckily, benny opened the door. 
                          
"hey." you said breathily. 
                          
"uh hi." he said as he opened the screen door. "so, uh, i was thinking we could start with catching first." he said as he held up a ball. you nodded and grabbed your mitt. 
                          
"okay, so number one rule, for any sport at anytime, is to keep your eye on the ball." he said holding up the ball. he went on explaining the logistics behind catching a baseball. 
                          
in the end you got it, finally being able to close your mitt quick enough without dropping the ball. 
                          
"good. so next is throwing." and he started to go on about throwing and how to control the throw, saying we'll get to the pitching stuff later. 
                          
"i think i have it." i said throwing the ball back to benny. 
                          
"great, now the last thing, is batting. your form was good before but your swing was kinda off." he handed you the bat. "can you position yourself?" he asked, and you did so. 
                          
"this good?" you asked looking at him. 
                          
"yea, now swing." he said as he studied your movements. "i see the problem, you aren't twisting your hips right." he came over and placed his hands on my waist. "uh, sorry." he said as he started to blush furiously and he backed up. 
                          
"no its fine." you said quite red yourself. 
                          
"so what you wanna do is not move your foot but still twist, you get it?" he asked looking at you. 
                          
"i think so." you were starting to be off on your game. the way benny was holding your hips was just distracting. 
                          
"so go ahead and swing." he said stepping back looking at your form again. you did so, following what he instructed. 
                          
"good?" 
                          
"better. now the way you swing, you wanna keep your right elbow up, and align your knuckles on the bat. you want to swing out not around." he then got close behind you positioning you. he then realized what he was doing. "is this all right?" he asked turning red again. 
                          
"yea." he then silently got closer to fix something but he just stopped, and when you went to look at him he pressed his lips against yours. you both dropped the bat and you turned to him properly.
                          
when you pulled away, you both were shocked at what happened. 
                          
"was that too far?" benny asked innocently. 
                          
"no it was just enough." you sighed contently. 
                          
"i was going somewhere with this i swear, i'm just drawing a blank." he said as looked at you. "oh yea, i was gonna ask if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" 
                          
"of course i will." you smiled as you lightly kissed him again. 
                          
you did learn to play baseball, the boys did accept you, and you finally had benny "the jet" rodriguez.
