| �Hey, Spence!� | |
| ��Lo, Troy. How�s it going?� | |
| �Pretty good. Simon said he doesn�t need me today, so I should | |
| see if you need any help.� | |
| I nodded at Tate. | |
| �He�s been helping me a couple of days, and we got most of the | |
| stuff done.� | |
| I paused for a second. It was Wednesday, and I remembered Simon | |
| was supposed to have finished finals today. We really still had | |
| a week, but I had no desire to have to work once school | |
| finished. I was kind of hoping we could finish by next Monday, | |
| so I could enjoy the early release Tuesday and no school at all | |
| on Wednesday. | |
| �I�ll tell you what, instead of me trying to show you what we�ve | |
| been doing, why don�t you check and make sure no one�s having | |
| trouble, and I�ll get started on one of these, If anyone needs | |
| help, you can come get me.� | |
| �Okay,� Troy replied, seeming eager to help. | |
| Troy walked around a few times, while I settled in, touching up | |
| a fake sheep, and adding a bit of cotton to his wool. Then he | |
| came up to watch me. | |
| �What are you doing? I mean, besides the obvious?� | |
| �Well, we started with the bigger projects that would take | |
| longer and need to sit out and dry. Now it�s mostly little | |
| stuff. The hard part was sorting everything out, then we had to | |
| get them to people who could do the work. I think we�re doing | |
| okay now.� | |
| �Cool.� | |
| He stood there for a moment. I didn't mind. I�d got to know him | |
| in athletics last year, when we were both on the soccer team, | |
| and he was one of those people I could just be quiet with. | |
| �How�s school? You ready for vacation?� I asked. | |
| �Ah, it�s okay. I got paddled today, and Dad�s gonna be | |
| pissed.� | |
| I tried to stifle a smile. Troy was� energetic, and he managed | |
| to get himself in trouble on a fairly regular basis. From what | |
| his big brother had told me once, he�d probably get a lecture | |
| and maybe get his ear thumped when he got home. | |
| �Who gave you swats?� | |
| �Mr. Cranston.� | |
| �Ouch!� | |
| �Yeah, I�m still a little sore.� | |
| I have to admit that I envied the little twerp. Mr. Cranson | |
| wasn�t real tall, but he had a solid build, and when he wore a | |
| polo shirt, you could see dark hair curling on his chest. He | |
| looked goofy when he wore a mustache, but most of the time, he | |
| was either clean shaven or had a goatee, and he looked really | |
| good with those. | |
| I knew he swumg a mean paddle, and I�d managed to get licks from | |
| him more than a couple of times last year - and he didn�t do | |
| anything mean like give you detention instead of swats, like Mr. | |
| Ellis did. | |
| We talked about this and that for a few minutes, and then he | |
| helped me switch out the sheep for a donkey that needed some | |
| paint. | |
| I dunno what Kyle was expecting, but he came up while everyone | |
| was putting things away. He asked what kind of snacks I liked, | |
| and if I�d seen Guardians of the Galaxy 2 yet. I see every | |
| comic movie mom�ll let me go to (and can usually sneak the ones | |
| she won�t, like Logan and Deadpool), but I had no trouble seeing | |
| it again. | |
| When I waved bye to Kyle, I realized Tate was waiting for me, | |
| and we walked to his house together. | |
| When I got home, the house was quiet. The tree was lit, but the | |
| living room wasn�t. Mom�s car hadn�t been in the drive, but | |
| Dad�s was. I was just wondering what was going on, when Dad | |
| spoke from behind me, making me jump a foot, at least. | |
| �Hey, Champ.� | |
| When I landed, I turned to face him. | |
| �Hey, Dad.� | |
| �Your Mom called to say she�s running late, and I�ve been� | |
| .busy. Are you starving?� | |
| �I could eat, but I�m not going to pass away in the next ten | |
| minutes or anything.� | |
| �I figure I could run to the store and get something frozen. | |
| You want a TV dinner?� | |
| �You could get a couple of those microwave beef tips and some | |
| mash potatoes. If you want to get a couple of cans of green | |
| beans, we could make a decent dinner.� | |
| �Sounds good, but you�ll have to open the cans.� | |
| I laughed, as he grabbed a jacket. | |
| �Get the French cut,� I reminded him as he was leaving. �Mom | |
| likes those best.� | |
| With him gone and Mom not home, I left the downstairs lights off | |
| and headed upstairs. When I reached the top, I heard something | |
| that made me realize what had been going on. | |
| Marty�s bedroom door wasn�t completely shut, so I looked in. | |
| The first thing I saw was his jeans lying on his desk, with his | |
| boxer briefs next to them. Sure enough, I pushed the door open | |
| a bit, and he was lying on his bed, face down, with his bare | |
| butt sunny side up, and red as a robin. | |
| I went to the bathroom, then came back, sitting on the side of | |
| his bed, and lightly rubbing his blazing butt. | |
| �Leave me alone!� he protested. | |
| I didn�t have to examine him closely to tell he�d got it pretty | |
| bad. | |
| I reached over, picked up the toilet paper, and handed it to | |
| him. | |
| �Blow.� | |
| He did, then threw the paper away. I replaced it with a damp | |
| rag. It was warm, so he washed his face with it. Then i handed | |
| him a glass of cool water. | |
| �Thanks,� he said, only somewhat grudgingly. | |
| �Did Dad use the bath brush on you?� | |
| He nodded, then added �yeah.� | |
| I thought that was totally unfair, and I told him so. | |
| �It was only about four smacks, �cause I argued with him and | |
| backtalked. He said he�d listen to me, and try to be fair, but | |
| he wouldn�t tah� tall�. � | |
| �Tolerate?� | |
| �Yeah, he said he wouldn't tolerate .me being rude.� | |
| I shrugged. First time I got it had been in sixth grade - | |
| around the same age as Marty, i guess - but it�d been because me | |
| and a friend of mine had picked on a substitute teacher. Dad | |
| wouldn�t tolerate that either, but apparently being rude to him | |
| wasn�t quite as bad. | |
| Then again� I looked more closely, and I could see where Dad�s | |
| fingers had turned Marty�s right hip red in a number of places, | |
| so maybe he thought four swats was plenty on top of what Marty�d | |
| already had. I mean, it�d been awhile since Dad spanked me, but | |
| one of his hand spankings had been enough to make me cry last | |
| time I had to get one. | |
| �Spence?� | |
| �Yeah.� | |
| �Thanks, but� would you leave me alone.� | |
| I always felt bad when Marty got it. He could be a pain, but we | |
| mostly got along. I felt bad when he got it� but not so bad I | |
| wasn�t still hard. | |
| I patted him on the back and left him to recover. | |

| Poor Marty. Good story. :) Nice of Spencer to console Marty, | |
| even though Spence had an ulterior motive. | |
