CHAPTER EIGHT

Nine Years Ago—Age Seventeen

I had to admit, the dress was hot. It was prom, after all, I had to look good. Dave Rockwell had asked me to be his date. I was never one of those girls who struggled for popularity, but when the linebacker of the football team asked me, little ole Summer Quinn, well, I’d been excited to say the least.

Me and Dee had gone shopping with Ian’s mom for a dress. It was navy blue, fell to my knees like a cloud, and crossed at the breasts to tie behind my neck. It actually made me look like I had breasts.

Dee had come as Rick’s date. I hadn’t liked Dee much at first, but she’d started to grow on me. Initially, I’d thought she was trying to break into our little happy bubble of three. She was everything I wasn’t. Fun, pretty, popular. But if Rick liked her, then she must be okay.

Ian’s date, however, was captain of the cheerleading team and the biggest bitch on the planet. I looked across the gym at them dancing. If I could call it dancing. They should breathe once in awhile.

Dave put his large hand at the small of my back, drawing my attention to him. “I’m going to get some punch. Be back in a minute.”

I nodded, smiling. He hadn’t asked me to dance at all. When the song ended, I checked the time on the wall clock. There was only an hour left, and he still hadn’t asked me to dance. Maybe my mascara was running? Something in my teeth?

Rising from the table where we’d been stationary, I wove through the crowd. I shoved inside the ladies room and decided to struggle with the nylons to pee first, and then I’d check my makeup. After closing the bathroom stall, a group of girls came in, giggling. I stayed quiet and acted as if I wasn’t there. If one of them caught sight of me, they’d surely say something mean and ruin my happy night.

“I can’t believe Ian Memmer asked you to prom,” one of the girls said.

I grimaced. I couldn’t believe he’d asked Kasey either. She was such a harpy.

“Right? Except we had to drag Summer Quinn along as a double date.” Kasey growled. “Did you hear why Dave asked her to prom?”

The reply was a hushed murmur, as if they were discussing industrial espionage. “No, why?”

“We all got a hotel room downtown for later. Ian and I are heading over there soon. Dave thinks he can get Summer to have sex with him.”

My stomach dropped and my hands grew moist. I should have known that was the reason he’d asked me. No one that popular had ever wanted anything to do with me before. I was so stupid. More than half of my class was having sex. I was probably some screwed up bet to him.

“Why don’t you skanks shut-up?”

I held my breath. Was that…Dee’s voice? Oh God! As if this wasn’t mortifying enough, now Dee had heard it, too.
