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

a slut. But your ex-boyfriend is.”
     
    Zane and I were both
laughing. Girls talked a lot before fights for some reason. Guys just slugged
it out and were done with it.
     
    “I will kill you for that one
too. When I see you without these two guys, I will kill you.” Vicky threatened her
through gritted teeth. “The only guy that will have you when I finish with you,
is that ugly guy next to you.”
     
    I saw Taylor’s face fill with
anger over that comment. I couldn’t believe she cared that much. Her entire
body stiffened in my arms. She wanted to beat her up. I knew there was no way
in hell she could, but her just wanting to, made me feel so good.“Zane. Let her
go.” she said through gritted teeth.
     
    “Taylor. No.” I said to
Taylor. It was enough that Vicky’s comments upset her so much.
     
    “No way.” Zane agreed with me
wholeheartedly. He didn’t want Taylor creamed any more than I did.
     
    “I need to be back from my
three day suspension before the game Friday night. Let her go please.” She said
calmly but with determination.
     
    Zane and I looked at each
other, debating on what we were about to do. Were we about to let Taylor get
creamed? She’s too pretty to be walking around school with a black eye or a
busted lip. Zane let Vicky go. I let Taylor go. Vicky lunged at Taylor with
both hands and pushed her hard. Taylor swayed backwards, losing her balance but
didn’t fall to the ground. She’d caught herself before she went down. I wanted
to close my eyes. This was going to be gruesome.
     
    Vicky came at her again,
pushing her again. Was this a pushing fight? Taylor pushed her back, but Vicky
didn’t move as easily as Taylor had. Vicky was a lot bigger than Taylor. She
slugged Taylor in the chest hard. Ouch! That hurt me to see it. I could tell Vicky
had never been a fight in her life. She pounded Taylor’s chest. Her technique
was so girly.
     
    She swung at Taylor again
aiming for her face this time. Taylor easily dodged it this time. Maybe I’d
written her off too early. She was really quick. Then Taylor took a swing at Vicky’s
face. Her technique was not at all girly. She made contact. Good contact. Way
to go, Taylor!  Vicky bent over and grabbed her face, surprised that she’d been
hit. She stood up straight again, holding her face. She was mad as hell too.
She struck out again with her fist, but Taylor blocked her punch. Damn, I
hadn’t seen that move since my boxing days when I was thirteen. Vicky swung at
her several times. Taylor blocked every punch that came her way.
     
    Vicky kicked at her. She
couldn’t kick very high. She was overweight and couldn’t get her leg up very
high. Taylor jumped back a little, reflexively, causing Vicky to miss her
completely. Taylor did a round house kick, and kicked Vicky on the side of the
face. It knocked Vicky off balance. She swayed away from Taylor. Taylor
immediately dropped into a fight stance with two fists in front of her chest. Damn!
Was Taylor into Karate or something? That was a smooth move. Maybe there was
hope for her yet.
     
    There were a lot of cheers
and boos. The crowd of blood thirsty kids had gathered around us. Zane was
yelling out instructions for Taylor. I wasn’t sure she was listening though. I
didn’t say anything.
     
    Vicky looked at her
completely shocked, as she shook her head to shake off the kick. I could tell
the pain was catching up to her. Then Taylor dropped to the ground and did a
leg sweep. She knocked Vicky’s feet out from under her. Vicky fell backwards,
hard onto the pavement. Damn. That was a kickass move. I couldn’t believe she’d
gotten the best of Vicky. I would have bet money on Vicky if I’d been betting
on this fight. Judging from the rumbling comments from the crowd, they were
thinking the same thing.
     
    Taylor jumped on top of her,
sitting on her stomach. She held Vicky’s hands to the ground with her knees,
pinning her. “I was not with Dwayne Friday night, Vicky!” She
