coach and some other teammates. Cade removed his helmet and waved to the crowd that cheered for him.
“Cade,” said the coach as he spoke into the microphone. “Ever since you joined varsity as a freshman …”
The coach paused for the crowd to stop screaming Cade’s name. I joined in for nearly a minute until the coach raised his arms in signal for us to calm.
“You have been an inspiration for us all,” he continued as he held up a large golden trophy from a blue bag and handed it to Cade. “We’re here today at the start of a great season, to recognize you for breaking more athletics records than any other student in Mayville history!”
The crowd went even wilder. I stood along with them as the coach made Cade aim the trophy high into the air.
“Everyone, please give it up to our most valuable player, Cade Vandercamp!”
Just as the crowd screamed so loudly that I thought I might go deaf, the screen changed behind Cade above the field. I couldn’t feel more proud of him until, all at once, the crowd became silenced by what they saw. Cade’s face was tossing up and down in the dim light.
“Fuck, you’re tight,” his voice reverberated on the screen. Suddenly, people were cat calling and laughing, just as I realized that we were all watching the video I had recorded of us having sex.
Bandages
The jeers echoed all over the stadium like a never-ending game of ping-pong. Sweat formed all over my body as my heart raced in a panic. Just as soon as the screen was shut off, I looked down to see Cade rushing from the field. His head was low during the mocking he received from the other team. As soon as he reached the team bleachers, I heard him roar. His fist rushed forward, smashing into a concrete wall.
“That was messed up!” yelled Penny as she came to my aid. “I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“Yeah,” I said softly. It was a relief that no one had realized that I was the girl in the video my cousin was having sex with. Still, my mind was fixated on Cade. Someone had done this to ruin him and I knew exactly who it was.
Half a dozen rows down and to the right of me was the bobbled Barbie head of Angie Oberstone. She and her friends were laughing uncontrollably.
“It wasn’t me!” she giggled as on lookers pointed at her. “Cade is a slut and everyone knows that!”
I wanted to punch Angie in her tiny little nose. I wanted to feel it break beneath my fist. I wanted to hear her crying at school that the plastic surgeon did what he could, but she would never look the same. Just as I was glaring at her, one of her emaciated friends saw me and tapped Angie on the shoulder. Together, they stared upward and laughed. I had enough.
“Where are you going?” Jill called out as I started for Angie.
“To kick her ass!” I yelled. All I could see was red. This girl needed to be taught a lesson and I didn’t care what the consequences would be for me. I was half the way to her when someone grabbed my arm.
“Hey, kiddo,” said my uncle Tim. “We should probably all leave.”
Looking over at them, I saw my aunt’s head down. She looked perplexed by the situation. I felt terrible having been part of this disaster though neither one of them could know the truth.
“Okay,” I agreed as I stopped in my tracks. My eyes went to Angie again who was oblivious to my aim for her. She was sitting around with her friends still giggling as the players came back onto the field, without Cade.
