Chapter 2: Derek

History:

Derek loved his wife. He truly did. In his mind, she had always been the perfect girl. The unobtainable. In high school, he was shocked when she gave him the time of day. She was the trifecta. Beautiful, popular, smart. Maybe beyond the trifecta because he would also add kind.

He couldn’t believe it when she had given him the time of day. He was decent enough looking, maybe a little scrawny, but decent. He definitely wasn’t the smartest kid in the school, stumbling through his classes, barely getting by, only just graduating.

They had met in Mrs. Nelly’s homeroom. Mark Abrams thought that as the quarterback, he had the the right to say and do what we wanted to the cheerleaders, Kelly included. It started out small, a hand that lingered in her shoulders, and remained, even though she visibly cringed away from his touch. A loud mouth, obnoxious comment about her ass.

Once Derek even overheard Mark telling his buddies how hot her mouth was and how far down in he wanted to cram his d**k. Derek sat across the room from Mark, so if he heard this conversation, he was damn sure the rest of the class did. Kelly sure did, if the tears glistening in the corner of her eyes were any indication. But she sat stoically, chin jutting up, her small but simple act of resistance.

Derek watched this unfold day after day, falling a little more in love with Kelly, every time she head her head high, ignoring the dumb joke instead of acting like it was cute and flirting with him, trying to climb the social ladder like her peers.

Seeing that Kelly wasn’t responding to his advances, Mark upped his game, comments became more aggressive and physical contact more bold. The increase frequency of these assaults fueled Derek’s hatred towards Mark and his feelings towards Kelly turned into a protective adoration.

The final straw in Derek’s mind, was the day the teacher stepped out into the hall. Tired of being ignored, Mark got out of his desk and walked to Kelly’s. He tried for a bit to get her attention but she just stared straight ahead. Not getting the results he wanted he tried to save face in front of his “bros.” In a last attempt at her attention he made some lewd comment about the virginal princess not being about to take his manhood then started thrusting his pelvis into her arm.

Derek could see Kelly’s hands grip the desk, as she fought to stay in control and stare at the smart board. Derek didn’t have Kelly’s patience or control, as he flew out of his seat and rammed his fist into the jocks still thrusting c**k.

Down he went, like a ton of bricks. But Derek wasn’t done. Fueled by the burning rage, into the depths of his soul, he used the anger to slam his foot into Mark’s side. Repeatedly.

When Mrs. Nelly rushed back into the classroom, having been alerted by grunts, moans, and a cheer section, Mark didn’t look like he’d be getting up anytime soon.

Derek earned himself a 2 week suspension and the girl of his dreams. Not to mention instant street “cred” and a significant advancement on the popularity chain. Overnight, Derek and Kelly became the “it” couple. No one was surprised when they got married right out of high school. It did however, surprise most, that they waited until she finished college and most of grad school before they started making babies.
