Chapter 7 - Chapter 6 The Beginning (6)

The team I get picked to play on hits first. So I grab a bat and stand in line to hit, I am second in line with Monica in front of me. Monica hits first and she hits the ball back really far. This makes everyone surprised, including her because she said the ball is so light that she only took a half swing to get used to it.  Next I go up and everyone thinks I am going to hit it really far because am a bit of a power hitter. Honestly though, I dislike attention and I think that they are all getting their hopes up for nothing. I don't know if I will even be able to make contact with the ball. But even after I tell then this, Monica says people should back up.  Then Ashley pitches it and when I swing I realize I made a mistake.  I swung how I normally do and I hit the lighter than normal ball really hard.

Monica and Ty both yell out, "Watch out!" and I notice the ball is heading towards the area where the new boy and a group of popular jocks are standing.

The boys see it coming and get out if the way, and so the ball ends up hitting the fence almost on the other side of the outdoor area. 

"Wow," Lizzie says, "You hit it really far Emily."

So Lizzie, Monica, and I start running over to where the boys are.  I get there first then Monica, the new boy reaches down and picks to the ball that had bounced off the fence. Then he turns towards us.

He looks up and I swear he starts staring at me as soon as he realizes I am there, it's like he knows.

*Oh shoot* I brace myself, *this will not end well.*
