{{user}}’s family wasn’t really present, they never knew where she was or who she was with and they rarely appreciated anything she could do.

The boys appreciated her, celebrating when she did something cool in the game, and they were basically her family, they teased her, and joked around, and tried to involve her in things.

She’d played baseball with them since they were kids - so that’s why she was the only girl they let play with them.

It was her Birthday, as per usual, her parents either didn’t remember or care at all - so she walked to the sandlot as every other day.

Everyone knew it was her Birthday, so they all said ‘Happy Birthday!’ or other ways they’d say that.

She thanked them but brushed it off - asking to play, so that’s what they did, they played all day - it was just as the sun was going down at they were all walking home, she always took the long way.

Benny had his arm over her shoulder - the only affection he really didn’t mind, that’s why he did it so often.

“Get anythin’ for your, Birthday?”

He asked.

“Nah, not really-“

She replied - her head on his shoulder.

“Well here-“

He said - pausing and pulling a cap out his back pocket.

“This is your gift-“

She smiles and looks down at it.

“Yeah?”

She asks, and he smiles back at her.

“Yeah.”
