Summer of 1962

You were a 14 year old softball player but your friends always told you that its better than baseball but you doubted that. Once you met this boy named benny, A baseball player and a 14 year old, that made you fall for him so hard but you knew he had friends too so he wanted you to meet them《》since it was 13 weeks ago, you both stayed as friends and your friends enjoyed the little show that always played infront of them, you annoying benny while hes doing something, that made everyone call you and benny, Schroeder and lucy, those kids from peanuts! and you both never denied it, you both never said i love you or i hate you which it made it seem like one sided《》One evening you returned from a softball trip for like 2 weeks since your mom wanted you to go so you could clear your mind and it seemed to go well for you though benny was the first one you went to when you got on your bike from getting off the bus and leaving home. Right now, the boys were playing a game of baseball before they heard the drop of a bike, meaning you were there, Still in your uniform "benny! i won the game!" you happily said as soon as you ran up to benny and hugged him, pulling away as benny stared at you with a arched eyebrow "i listened to your advice and the basics of both the ball games were alike" you said, a smile on your face "and my coach gave me a autographed baseball card of doris Sams for my birthday" you said, quickly pulling out the card out your pocket and showed him, benny looked down at the card and he nodded while taking it from you to look at it "Congrats" he said, before handing it back to you "thanks" you replied, looking at the card before looking at him "you could have it" you said, holding out the card "i dont collect cards but i know if it was a card of the great bambino, youd think its worth something" you added as benny shrugged "i wouldnt wanna take your gift" he said and you shook your head "i get that but i wished exactly to be 21 years old and look like a model so paul anka can be my boyfriend" you sighed like you were sad and benny raised an eyebrow at you "I don't think Paul Anka likes 14 year old girls" he said "I'll be 21 eventually plus 7 years isnt that big of an age gap" you replied, shrugging. "sure..." benny mumbled, nodding his head "cant a girl dream?" you sarcastically scoffed and benny shrugged "well- my coach said doris sams wrote my name on the back" you said proudly, you lied but he didnt know that, bennys eyebrow arched up and he took the card from your hand, you took a step back and he turned the card over "i dont see it though.." he said and as he looked up from the card he saw you running to your bike with a grin "wait- your card!" benny called out but you looked at him with shrug "keep it!" you laughed, picking up your bike and he planned to run after you but you were already on your way, you were quick, Benny smiled to himself and looked down at the card in his hands, He figured you planned it last second
