Free Spencer's Face (Buckeye Hawks) by Autumn Brown Page A

Someone told me
they saw you with Dwayne Friday night at the party. You lied to me.” she yelled
to Taylor as she closed the distance between us.
     
    “What?” Taylor asked her. “I
was not with Dwayne Friday night. I haven’t been with Dwayne since we broke up
last year.”
     
    I hated it that she’s had so
many boyfriends. That was one reason I was holding off on asking her out. I hated
to be one of many. Not that she was a slut, because she wasn’t. But I felt like
the longer I waited to ask her out, the longer our relationship would last.
     
    “I was with him. I told you
that.” Sandy stepped in between them.
     
    Zane stepped between Vicky
and Taylor. I stepped beside Taylor closer. I didn’t mind protecting her. I
wasn’t sure what I could do; maybe hold her up out of Vicky’s reach.
     
    “Your friend isn’t going to
cover for you either. Roberta told me that Sandy was with Alan Friday night.” Vicky
yelled even louder to Taylor.
     
    “ After Dwayne. Just ask
Dwayne.” Sandy told her quickly. It kind of made her sound like a slut
admitting that she was with two different guys, but girls seemed to do that a
lot out here.
     
    “I did. He wouldn’t tell me
who it was. That means it was Taylor.” Vicky told Taylor.
     
    “No it doesn’t. I would tell
you if it was me. It wasn’t me. I was with Spencer all night long.” Taylor
argued with her again.
     
    “Like I believe that you’d
kiss that.” Vicky said, pointing to my face.
     
    Damn! What a bitch! She was
no beauty queen by anyone’s standards. The guys made of fun of Dwayne for
dating her because she was so big, and so uncoordinated. She was rude and
crass. She was a big girl with a fat face. Who did she think she was?
     
    Zane grabbed Vicky around the
waist and held her. I followed suit and grabbed Taylor around the waist. She
had a tiny little waist. I liked holding her.
     
    “Just let it go.” I said to
Taylor. “She’s not bothering me with that.”
     
    She wasn’t. I’d heard it all
before. I only hoped Taylor wasn’t listening. I hoped she wouldn’t decide that
she no longer wanted to date me after hearing everything Vicky was saying. Especially
after everything Terri said the other day.
     
    “You’re such a bitch, Vicky.”
Sandy said to her meanly. “No wonder Dwayne wanted to make out with me, and
every girl he came in contact with Friday night. You’re a bitch. Who would want
to kiss you?”
     
    I laughed at Sandy. The girl
had some spunk. She’d better be careful. Vicky may take them both down.
     
    “Show her the hickey.” Taylor
told Sandy.
     
    Sandy pulled the neck of her T-shirt
down some to show off her hickey that Dwayne had apparently given her Friday
night. “He sucks at sucking neck by the way. This actually hurt.”
     
    “And, you know that’s the
exact place he likes to give hickeys too. Don’t you, Vicky?” Taylor asked her. She
pulled down the neck of her T-shirt to show her that she didn’t have a hickey.
“I don’t have one.”
     
    Vicky’s face flashed full of
anger. She lunged toward Taylor, but Zane’s grip stopped her in her tracks. I pulled
Taylor to the side quickly thinking that Vicky was coming toward us. I wasn’t
sure Zane could hold Vicky back, but he did.
     
    “I will kill you for that
one.” Vicky yelled to her.
     
    I didn’t understand why Vicky
didn’t believe Sandy. She had the proof on her neck, but she was still out for
Taylor. It didn’t make sense. Maybe she had some hidden agenda here.
     
    “Me? Why? I’m not the one
with a fresh hickey on my neck. I think she’s got one on further down, too.
Don’t you Sandy?”  Taylor taunted Vicky. Was she trying to get herself and
Sandy both killed?
     
    “I do.” Sandy said, but with
a mischievous smile on her face as if there were something going on between her
and Taylor. “I can’t show it out here in public though. That would be slutty.”
     
    Taylor laughed at her. “And,
my best friend is not
