Read Spencer's Face (Buckeye Hawks) for Free Online

Was she
serious? Dwayne grabbed both of my wrists. “We’ll catch you, Taylor. Jump.”
     
    What the hell was he doing?
This looked dangerous. “I don’t know how to do this.” I told Dwayne quickly.
     
    “We just catch her butt
between our arms. It’s easy. Go Taylor.” Dwayne called to her.
     
    Taylor jumped out and came
down perfectly in our arms. It was just like one of her cheerleading moves I’d
seen her do several times over the last few months. “Thanks, guys.” She said as
she stepped out of our arms onto the grass.
     
    Damn that was smooth.
     
    She punched Zane in the
stomach when she walked under the roof again. I thought about how close she was
with all of her ex-boyfriends. Dwayne was catching her, and she was punching Zane.
She talked to Jose sometimes. Honestly I wasn’t sure I could handle how
friendly she was with all of her exes, if we were to ever get together.

Taylor POV.
    We won our game against
Glendale. I watched as Spencer played football. He was pretty good. Zane did
really well too. As always Jose did too. He was one of the best on the team.
After the game, all the cheerleaders made their way to the field to hug the
players. Everyone formed a line and just hugged everyone in the line. It was a
ritual after every game. Funny that I hadn’t bumped into Spencer before doing
this, but this was only our third game, and maybe the second string players didn’t
do this.
     
    Since it was a home game,
everyone made their way to the parking lot to talk about where tonight’s party
would be. Every Friday night after a home game, all the kids would go somewhere
to drink and talk and make out. I usually went, but I didn’t drink.  I’d made
my parents a promise last year when I bought my car, that I’d never drink a
single drop of alcohol. I’d kept that promise. And, lately I hadn’t been making
out with anyone. My last boyfriend was a few months ago. I didn’t go for the
random hookup thing. Every Friday, girls would pretend that they were too drunk
to know what they were doing, then go off with some guy, any guy who asked
them, and make out.
     
    Mary, Spencer, Zane, Dwayne,
Shelly, and Jose were all waiting in a group in the parking lot. Sandy and I
walked up to them. “Where’s the party at tonight?” Sandy asked.
     
    She was always game for
drinking. I was her designated driver. She could drink all she wanted. Her
parents didn’t seem to mind that she showed up drunk as long as she didn’t wake
them up. Her parents were way different than my parents.
     
    “It’s at the Hole.” Jose answered
her in a yell over the multitude of conversations that were going on.
     
    We had nicknames for all of
the party spots. “Are we ready to go?” I asked. I wanted to ask Spencer to ride
with me, but it looked like he already had plans to ride with Zane.
     
    We drove down the windy roads
to the Hole. The guys already had the campfire going. We all loved a fire. It
was great for marshmallows and hotdogs, which were also brought by someone.
About two hundred high school kids attended these parties every Friday night. I
only attended the ones after a home game though. Sandy and I walked up to Zane
and Spencer.
     
    “Hey guys.” Sandy said to
them, then made her rounds. She talked to every one of the unattached guys at
the party. She was funny. She also made her way to the keg and pulled herself a
plastic cup full of beer. She downed it immediately, then pulled herself
another one. I never knew who supplied the kegs at these parties, or the food.
     
    Mary arrived and stood by Zane.
She wasn’t clingy at all. “So we did pretty good tonight. Didn’t we?” she asked
the group.
     
    “We did. Spencer is better
than Brian.” I said. I was so proud of him.
     
    Zane and Spencer laughed. Zane
had a beer and was downing it in no time flat. Spencer wasn’t drinking beer. He
was drinking a Coke. I was drinking a Pepsi. Zane and Mary walked off together
hand in hand. They were going to
