Cabrini High School in DeGarde, Louisiana had been formed by Monsignor Clarence Abrams with one purpose in mind; to create the most perfect athletic program. Of course, when he applied for a charter with the Archdiocese of Lafayette in 1989, Monsignor Abrams threw in some mumbo jumbo about laying the foundation for good Catholic adults.
But athletics was his primary goal. To meet and to exceed these goals, he recruited the best from the parish of St. Elizabeth. Two years into their program, the State of Louisiana cited Cabrini High School for low scholastic scores. So Monsignor Abrams began to also cull the brightest from the parish.
The hierarchy was set in stone. Male athletes, followed by female athletes and female cheerleaders. This caste was followed by the wealthiest children of St. Elizabeth. If these wealthy children should also happen to be athletes, they led the top tier of the hierarchy.
The bottom caste was appropriately dubbed the bottom feeders. These were the students that had been culled to boost the overall scholastic achievements of the Catholic High School. They were seen as a necessary irritant, a drain on the school's true mission.
Susan Gerrard belonged to the female athlete caste. Samuel Gerrard, her twin brother belonged to the bottom feeder class. They attended Cabrini on the scholarship program.
Sydnee Thompson, their next door neighbor also attended Cabrini, also on the scholarship program. She was both a cheerleader and an athlete. She and Susan were best friends, since they lived next door in the trailer park. Samuel had a crush on the beautiful red head, but, he was a bottom feeder.
Homecoming Week, endorphins, testosterone ran high. The elite, the football players were roaming the halls, screaming, whooping, cheering one another on.
"Hey! Let's play 'Connect The Dots,' huh?" Gary Pasteli, the school's star wide receiver called out as he and Doug Wolman and Doug 'Sonny' Merchot came across Susan and Sydnee as the two girls were putting their books into their lockers.
Sydnee stared in shock as Gary drew an ink line on her face, presumably from one freckle to another freckle. The red head burst into tears.
"Jesus, what a dick," Samuel said as Sydnee ran to the girls restroom to try to scrub her face.
"Yeah, Gerrard?" Gary challenged.
The buzzer sounded and Samuel slammed his locker shut. Gary, Doug and Sonny lost interest in the bottom feeder and entered their homeroom, still whooping and cheering. Many of their peers joined in.
The second buzzer sounded. Just before Sister Catherine shut the door, Sydnee and Susan managed to squeeze in. Samuel smiled in sympathy at Sydnee, but she avoided his eyes.
'Blow Jobs--$5' Samuel scribbled on a small piece of paper. Sydnee's eyes opened wide as Samuel affixed the small scrap to the collar of Gary's uniform shirt.
Gary couldn't imagine why his classmates were laughing at him. Even Doug and Sonny were amused. Finally, Doug reached up and pulled the slip of paper and showed it to Gary.
"Gerrard, kick your ass, hear?" Gary snarled as Samuel was entering his Physics class.
"Why? Because I only have three dollars?" Samuel smirked.
After school, Samuel was in his usual position, behind Sydnee as Sydnee and Susan walked from Cabrini to trailer park. He admired the way the pleated uniform skirt swished back and forth over Sydnee's sweetly rounded bubble butt.
"Oh oh, Samuel," Susan suddenly said.
Samuel tore his eyes from Sydnee's buttocks and looked ahead. Gary, Doug and Sonny were waiting for him. The three bullies were exactly two blocks away from the school, just past the zone that Cabrini High School claimed to control.
"Looks like we're going lose Homecoming, huh?" Samuel smiled, handing his heavy backpack to his sister.
"Want me call..." Sydnee asked nervously.
"Wait," Susan smiled as she and Sydnee brushed past the three smirking bullies.
"Y'all run now, I won't fuck you up," Samuel offered.
Gary moved to shove Samuel back. Samuel easily sidestepped the clumsy maneuver. Doug took a swing at Samuel. Samuel ducked underneath the attempt.
Sonny grabbed Samuel from behind. Doug and Gary smiled and approached the still smiling Samuel.
Samuel ducked down and Sonny slammed hard onto the ground in front of Gary and Doug.
The fact that Samuel was smiling should have been a signal to Gary or Doug that their intended victim wasn't afraid. Watching Sonny being easily flipped should have been a clue.
But Gary was attending Cabrini High School because he could run fast and could catch a ball. Doug was attending Cabrini High School because he was six feet, three inches and weighed two hundred and ninety one pounds. Neither one was attending Cabrini because of their mental abilities.
Gary threw a punch at Samuel's smiling face. Samuel grabbed the bully's hand and gave a sharp pull down.
"Aiee!" Gary screamed as his right arm dangled limply at his side.
Doug decided he'd try tackling Samuel. A spinning side kick slammed into Doug's right kidney. An elbow strike to the back of Doug's head put the boy onto the ground.
"Told you. Run and I won't fuck y'all up. Should have listened," Samuel smiled as he joined his sister and their neighbor.
Uncle Danny's truck was parked in front of the trailer Lot C. Susan and Samuel entered the trailer that had been their home for the last fifteen years.
Rhonda Gerrard was known as a slut. Blessed with dark hair and dark eyes and large chest, the girl had been a magnet for boys, and men for much of her teenaged life. And when she turned eighteen and found out how much fun fucking was, saw no reason to say no to a good time.
When she found out she was pregnant, Rhonda's sexual escapades morphed from wanting a good time to wanting someone that would care for her and her baby. Unfortunately, she found many men that were willing to fuck a pregnant teenager. But she didn't find any that were willing to stay with a pregnant eighteen year old. And when she found out she was carrying twins, she became more desperate to land a man.
Susan and Samuel had inherited their mother's dark hair and dark eyes, their mother's beauty. She did love them, she did dote on them. But Rhonda was also desperate for love, for stability. Now, saddled with not one, but two infants, she couldn't find any men willing to get near her.
Paul and Mona Gerrard helped as much as they could, but Paul was dying of lung cancer, thanks to a four pack a day smoking habit. Mona was already stretched thin caring for her ailing husband.
So Danny, Rhonda's older brother did the bulk of babysitting when Rhonda was desperately flopping from bed to bed.
One day, Danny Gerrard returned home from another grueling day of working at St. Elizabeth's Water & Sewage to find three year old Samuel and Susan sitting on his couch. The television blared the Cartoon Network. And a sheet of paper lay on Danny's coffee table that read 'Be Right Back.'
Fifteen years later, Rhonda had not come back. Danny, and Samuel and Susan didn't even know if Rhonda Gerrard was still alive.
Susan tested the knob of their trailer and found that it was unlocked. She pulled the door open.
"Uncle Danny, Samuel just beat up three guys from our school," Susan announced as they walked into the trailer.
"They started it," Samuel insisted.
"Used that karate stuff you showed us," Susan said.
Danny sat and listened, nodding as his niece and nephew related the day's occurrence. He then sent them to their rooms to do their homework.
"Tuna casserole tonight," he said.
The next day, Father Brighton and Coach Daigrepont wanted to expel Samuel Andrew Gerrard. Their wide receiver, their nose tackle, and their running back were out for their Homecoming game. Gary's injuries were severe enough that he might be out for the season. With a severely bruised coccyx, Sonny was also questionable to return.
"The three of them attacked Samuel off of school property; you have no grounds to expel him," Sister Andrea, the school's Mathematics teacher snapped.
She fixed Coach Daigrepont with a sneer. Then she shook her head.
"Three. Three football players. Three football players, picking on one student. Such good sportsmen you're training there, Coach Daigrepont," she sneered.
She faced Father Brighton. The man tried to stare back but blinked first.
"You do one thing to Samuel Gerrard? I promise you, the school board will hear about it," she threatened.
By the time lunch rolled around, Samuel had been elevated by many bottom feeders and some of the rich kids as somewhat of a hero. But he was also reviled by the upper echelon; without Gary, Sonny, and Doug, they'd have a hard time winning their Homecoming game against their rivals, St. Thomas Aquinas in Bender, Louisiana.
At lunchtime, Samuel sat down, uninvited at the table with Sydnee and Susan. Daisy Richards looked over, shocked that Samuel was sitting next to her. She watched as Samuel dug a pack of playing cards from his pocket.
