AUTHOR'S NOTE: All characters are 18+.
John Bernard was a nineteen year old senior in his final year of high-school. Yes, nineteen. It wasn't that he had failed a year or two, but being born in France his family had traveled extensively throughout Europe before at last settling down in Montreal, Canada. Due to a lack of stable education, he had been forced by the school administration to repeat a grade and so would be graduating late. Just a week ago John had celebrated his nineteenth birthday, and though it was a point of embarrassment that he was the oldest student at McGill High, he contented himself by looking at the young, hot schoolgirls running around in the hallways, classrooms, and sports-fields....
On this fine summer day John was in science class, busy dabbling with mixtures of chemicals as a Bunsen burner flamed below. He held a glass beaker in his hand, examining the green liquid inside with squinted eyes.
"Hey, John," said Dinesh, an Indian boy raised in Canada. "John! Check out Jessica Chambers there. You see her? Look how hot she looks today." As usual, when Dinesh said this he'd nudge John in the ribs with his elbow. He waited for a response till—
"What!" John hissed angrily. "Can't you see I'm busy?"
But Dinesh didn't notice his friend's glaring eyes; rather, his own gaze was focused towards the top left corner of the brightly lit room. He stared transfixed at the beautiful eighteen year old vixen, his mouth hanging open in a look of idiotic perversion.
Dinesh was tall for his age, around 6'2, 170 pounds with dusky brown skin, short, jet-black hair, and a squarish face, and though he was actually quite handsome for his age Dinesh's poor choice of fashion made him look quite unhandsome. This afternoon he was dressed in his usual somber colours, a gray t-shirt and dark blue jeans.
John on the other hand was 6'1 and 200 pounds, with curly black hair down to his neck, eyes of vivid blue, and skin that resembled a natural tan. He was both tall and muscular with an air of solemn darkness—an attractive quality in any man—but due to a debilitating shyness around the opposite sex John had yet to lose his virginity.
Perhaps his greatest defect was a lack of confidence in himself. This could be seen by John's loose shoulders, his ineloquence near the presence of women, or the way his long black hair would hang limply in front of his eyes and serve as a way to hide his otherwise striking face. Much like his friend John also possessed a dreadful sense of fashion, spending most days wearing a red t-shirt with blue jeans. It was no different today.
As John turned his eyes to where Dinesh was looking he noticed Jessica Chambers, one of the hottest girls in school, chatting with a group of her friends. She had vibrant blonde hair that fell in a single wave to her lower back, shimmering jade-green eyes, pink lips usually bright with lip-gloss, and a lean figure that could only be described with that old cliché: hour-glass. That is to say, her petite shoulders sloped downward to her hips, which then inclined and spread out into her long, gorgeous legs.
Quite aware of her feminine charms Jessica usually wore tight, form-fitting outfits which displayed her stunning body (such as the pink top and black mini-skirt she had on today) and though her breasts were but medium-sized, the way Jessica's pink top hugged against those two youthful globes made them seem all the larger and more delicious. And as often happened in cases with a girl this beautiful, Jessica Chambers was also a total bitch.
"Yeah," said John without looking at Dinesh, "she is hot. Like you, I've fantasized about banging her—but unlike you, I'm convinced I got no chance."
Dinesh slapped his friend's shoulder. "Come on, man! We can always dream can't we?" Sighing, he went on: "But I guess you're right....We can never get a girl like that. Hell, maybe my standards are too high, but when I finally do a girl I hope she looks half as good as Jessica." He considered a moment. "...Think it'll work if I just went up and asked her on a date?" John's face revealed his skepticism. "Yeah, I know: she's really into those macho dudes from the football team. It's so—so...."
Dinesh was groping for the right word, his fist hammering his palm over and over in mute frustration. John volunteered an answer: "Cliché?"
"Yes!" Dinesh shouted, so loud that the students in the classroom jumped at the sound. Several heads turned to stare in dumb astonishment at the two friends before turning back to their science projects. It took a while for the murmurs to die down.
"I know what you mean," John whispered leaning toward his friend. "It really is cliché. And it pisses me off to know girls like that will always end up going out total assholes then turn around and moan and bitch about it when they get dumped. And you know they'll get dumped because the guys on the football team are all fucks."
"What about your sister there?" asked Dinesh.
"What!" hissed John.
Waving his arms in a comical effort to placate his friend, a nervous Dinesh quickly corrected himself. "No! No! That's not what I meant! What I mean is: what about your sister there, talking with Jessica? Isn't she one of the in-crowd? She's one of them...right?"
John looked to where Jessica Chambers was having a busy conversation with three of her closest friends, one of which was his twin sister. The group of four, including Lauren Bernard, were laughing and gesturing with their hands in the typical girlish manner, quite heedless of their frothing science experiment below.
It wasn't hard to guess that Dinesh had been infatuated with Lauren ever since meeting her years ago at John's house. In fact, he would make any excuse just to go over and check her out (along with the rest of John's sisters) even though the chances of Dinesh actually bedding any of them were zero.
As John watched the four girls converse between themselves he felt nothing but scorn. He hated them with every fiber of his being: these were the same four girls that had abused and belittled him throughout highschool, making his existence a living hell. And most of all he despised his sister—the ringleader of this bitch circus—and the one who had emotionally tortured him since childhood. She was the reason John felt so inferior, with her daily insults regarding John's lack of social life or how he was doomed to remain a virgin forever.
Because of Lauren, all women seemed intimidating.
