This is about me...she's worried about me. But what does that mean?
I jog over to the rest of the P.E. class, breathing hard and sweaty. Riley is splitting everyone in teams for the relay and I stand between Gage and Renee trying not to collapse. How could she be worried about me? I'm the best I've been ever...so what is going on with her?
McSlutty: "Aw, Ashley just texted me!" My head whips around at the sound of that bitches' voice. She catches my eye and gives me a smug smirk before she returns her attention back to her phone. The girl standing next to her nudges her shoulder but doesn't look as happy with the news of Ashley's text as McSlutty does. Her friend keeps shooting worried glances over at me. Good, bitch, you should be scared I'll kick your friend's butt! Behind me and on my sides I feel people tense up- that would be Gage, Renee, and Michelle, not please of McSlutty's words. That vapid whore!
Spencer: "I'm sorry...what the hell did you just say?!" I could play it cool, I could ignore what she said and pretend like everything is fine and play it off like I knew Ashley would text her. But here's the thing- all reason goes out the window when the woman I love ignores me all day and then texts a girl she use to sleep with.
McSlutty: "Relax, Carlin, I'm sure she'll text you annnnny minute now." I narrow my eyes at her and Gage's hand prevents me from charging. I feel a blinding rage course through me and I have to actually blink back angry tears.
Michelle: "Don't worry, Spence, we'll take care of 'er!" She growls out from behind me. Riley has split up the relay teams and the first wave takes off. I'm in lane one with Renee and two other girls I don't know behind me. Michelle is in the lane next to me matched with Renee. And in the last lane is Gage, but she'll be running last in her heat. I hear casual conversation around me but I'm not listening to any of it; I'm beyond livid.
I look over to see that a few things have changed: Gage, Michelle, and Renee have all switched lanes and heats so that they are now running against Tess.
It's actually amusing to watch, really. They push, shove, trip, and hit their way through their race with McSlutty. And at the end of it, Gage comes strolling up to me and tosses what's in her hand for me to catch.
Gage: "Here. Find out what's going on with Davies." I look down at the object I just caught to see a cell phone. My eyebrows go up and Gage shrugs. "It slipped from her pocket. If you need to, you can borrow my jeep for your appointment."
Spencer: "You know I don't have my driver's license, right?" I call to her as she walks backwards to the school. She shrugs again.
Gage: "I trust you." She smiles and turns towards the school, waving as she goes.
