I've debated about whether or not I should tell this story but, after thinking about it, I've decided I should -- people should be aware of what's happening in some of the religious cults and how people are being treated.
After I'd been out of high school for a couple years I started dating this chick named Ricki. Well, that wasn't her real name but a nickname she'd picked up along the way. She'd been raised in some weird religious sect, very strict holy-roller type group and had been given an old fashioned, complicated Old Testament kind of name, which I don't remember.
She had been small all of her life and even when I knew her when I was 20 and she was 21 she was still barely 5'1" and maybe 110 lbs. Somewhere along the way friends started calling her Ricki and it seemed to fit her better, so it stuck. Though, they were careful not to call her Ricki around church or at school, which was also run by the church.
But, when I knew her everyone just called her Ricki! We weren't going steady, at least at first. I met her after all of this had happened and we were pretty much the same age. She'd been raised on a religious (and I use that word "religious" very loosely in this instance since the founders of the church had pretty much just made up their own religion) compound and they were all isolated from the local community, especially the kids -- they were kept completely isolated. The compound was located back in the southeast, Missouri or someplace like that. It was hidden way back in the hills.
Anyway, something bad happened shortly after she'd come "Of The Age" (18) and there was a big scandal and the whole church collapsed, with a few of the elders and 'TEACHERS" going to prison. But I'll get into that in a few minutes. Her family packed up everything they had and moved to California for a completely fresh start in life. Their father had been duped into the religion, believing it would be a much more wholesome, back to the basics way of raising his family and protecting them from all of the nastiness in the outside world. So, when the whole thing collapsed, he wanted to give his family a chance to recover, in a completely different environment.
Ricki struggled at first, she'd missed most of her senior year at the "religious" school and was 19 when she started her senior year in California. And, really, she never did fit in at her new school. After all, she'd been raised in this very strict religion and wasn't allowed to associate with anyone outside of her school, because they did not adhere to her family's strict "religious" beliefs. And she certainly wasn't allowed to spend any time alone, with boys, even if they were from her school. Then, all of a sudden, a few months after she'd turned 19, she found herself in a public school, in California, which was VERY different from what she'd known since she was a child. Fortunately for her, it wasn't a big high school with lots of kids, so the adjustment wasn't as hard as it could have been; still, she struggled and had few friends.
She was cute -- pretty really -- with long sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. And, as I'd mentioned, she was very petite. She got asked out a few of times (by other guys) but she remained shy and never accepted a date -- at least not until much later in the school year.
Near the end of her senior year she finally accepted a date with one of the football players. He was a typical "Jock" -- full of himself, kind of loud, and basically just and a jerk and bully. But, for some reason the "popular girls" liked him and he had worked his way through several of the cheerleaders.
Of course, the first thing he did was take Ricki to dinner -- well out for a hamburger at the local hamburger joint, which was a hang-out for high school kids. Then he took her to the drive-in movie. If you missed out on Drive-In's when you were in high school you really missed out on something. Kids would park together and often we'd back our pickup trucks into a space, put a couple lawn chairs in back and watch the movie under the stars -- so it was a real cool social thing. It was also where a lot of us had our first experiences with sex.
I don't mean that we were all fucking and getting blowjobs. But at a Drive-In Movie, pretty much all of the families went home after the main, feature movie. And the High School kids stayed around for some corny "B" movie. That was when everyone settled down in their cars or trucks, made out and made fun of the movie. THAT was where it was pretty much the guys job to try to get as much off of his date as possible.
Or, if they were steady boyfriend/girlfriend they got right to it until the guy got to the point where his steady had pretty much drawn the line. Sometimes they'd get their hands inside their bras; sometimes they'd get a finger or two into her panties and eventually her pussy. Or, if they were really a STEADY thing and the chick thought they were probably going to get married some of the guys got blowjobs and occasionally a quick screw right during the Drive-In Movie.
