The Hitting Zone

"Zeke just walked, I gotta go." Noah got up and looked for his bat. After finding it, he turned back to me. "You're okay. You're fine. Just take some deep breaths and you'll feel better." He walked away without waiting for confirmation. It's like what he believed was the truth, and I had no reason not to feel better.

Dave sat down in Noah's seat. "No need to be embarrassed."

"Don't lie to him." Kyle laughed, walking over with Tanner. He looked down at me. "Are you making the same mistakes as yesterday?"

"Technically it was different." Tanner told him. "Yesterday, he didn't step on his own feet. Just normal tripping." He cracked a smile at me. "It was a good hit."

"Yea." Kyle agreed. "I've never seen someone ground out to right field before." He laughed and I turned red as a tomato. "Oi, this is why we call you bambi. Always so nervous and scared."
