Summer of 1962

You were a 13 year old softball player but your friends always told you that its better than baseball but you doubted that. Once you were in your treehouse with your friends- next your house You saw 9 boys going to the sandlot nearby out the window of your treehouse, a boy named Bertram caught your eye《》That was 5 weeks ago you confessed your feelings to bertram he just said he felt the same, though, its a secret since your parents hated the idea of you dating a tabaco chewer《》about a week ago you gave bertram a gift: A love letter, Big chew chewing 'baco and a rose you got from your moms garden, he told you it was girly and you told him he could go to hell then dumped him, ever since that, youve been avoiding him around than a person could count! your friends and you have been avoiding the public pool anytime they came because they could never look at and talk to any girl or any boy YOU hated.《》Today you were talking with one of your friends: Nancy, going to the sandlot since you needed to talk to benny about something but it didnt help that bertram was there so you pushed nancy forward with a pre-written note so she wont forget what to say then when she got their attention by whistling like a yard teacher or something, She then gave benny the note and walked back to you, who was FILLED to the brim of your skull with nervousness but before you 2 could run off back to nancy's house, nancy got a glance of benny showing bertram the note and her eyes widened "why is he showing it" you grumbled to her and she shrugged "hes not supposed to see that" you huffed and nancy looked at you with her jaw dropped "you didnt read it to benny?" you said, turning your head towards nancy before bertrams footsteps were heard by you both and your head turned to him "so your forgiving me for the letter insult?" bertram said, fixing his glasses and cleared his throat with a cough then you nodded and fiddled with your fingers "i guess i am" you mumbled, looking at him then pulled him into a short hug
