Part one: Jimmy Cums of Age
The girl stood stock still, her breath coming in short sharp gasps, a single tear tracked slowly down her cheek. Jimmy placed his mouth very close to her ear, his breath warm on her skin. 'You have absolutely no idea Debra!' his words a low growl packed with cruel desire, 'No idea how much time I've spent dreaming of this moment!'.
Twenty three years old, he had left Uni just a week ago with a first class degree and a confirmed reputation as a social oddball. Oh he was no classic nerd, six feet tall and reasonably athletic in build with at least average looks, it was not his appearance that kept him isolated. It was just that he lacked something. Other people seemed to be able to connect with each other, Jimmy just couldn't make that connection. It wasn't that he didn't try, people just didn't get him. He'd had friends at school and at Uni, but they were never that close, only really people willing to accept him as who they thought him to be. He learned over the years to keep his real opinions to himself. He just couldn't deal with the way people wrapped up their opinions in lies and pretty words. His honesty never seemed to be appreciated by others, 'No I don't think your new spectacles make you look intelligent', 'Yes your bum does look big in those jeans' were examples of Jimmy's honest replies that got him rewarded with the sight of a retreating back and one less person in his small band of acquaintances. A 'cold fish', an oddball or just a plain weirdo that apparently was Jimmy.
Guys were on the whole easier to deal with. He'd quickly found boys at school would take his opinions at face value. It was just they would have issues with them anyway. Honest opinions of sisters, mothers and even sports teams would often lead to Jimmy being caught up in fights he had not meant to initiate. Worse still the teachers would often come down on the side of the other party, almost justifying the use of violence in response to Jimmy's simple appraisal of say; a sisters attractiveness. He learned that a policy of keeping his opinions to himself was a real 'face-saver' at times.
It was girls though that Jimmy had the most difficulty with. It would usually not take long at all for Jimmy to upset girls. He was often attracted to them and yet it seemed he could not even talk to one for two minutes without offending them, resulting often in tears or a barrage of hurtful ridicule. His frustration in the years following puberty only increased as one by one his peers paired and parted and generally engaged in various, often fulfilling relationships. The word 'virgin' found its way into the verbal arsenal ranged against him, this one harder to take from girls, especially from the pretty ones who inhabited his nightly fantasies. It became uncool even to be seen talking to Jimmy and as his frustration grew, so did his inner rage. His nights were filled with dreams of revenge, he gradually lost the will to 'fit in', 'I'm finished with all of them' he'd rant, 'one day I will make them pay'.
In his last year at college a very pretty girl in his class, Debra Wise had arrived outside the classroom which they were queuing outside with two of the schools most fearsome boys in tow. Debra was a slim brunette, average height, she drew attention away her modest breast size by emphasizing her spectacular legs. Jimmy was very fond of Debra and yet in his desperation to ingratiate himself with her, had only made her think he was ridiculing her dress sense. He thought he was being caring by suggesting her shorter than average skirts and higher than average heels, while showing of her quite lovely legs to great effect, might just give the impression of a less than modest moral code. A sharp slap to the face later and Debra had stormed off, shouting back at him that no-one gets away with calling her a slut and how he would pay for it! Shaking with frustration Jimmy was all the more upset as he had been sure Debra was the one girl at school who actually liked him. Now though he stood outside the history room his arms held securely by Alan and Ben. Struggle as he might he was no match for these guys physically. Debra stood right in front of him
