Chapter 3: Little Earthquakes

Sam, Kev, and some of Sam's friends sat at the back table in the cafeteria, going on and on about their summer break, among other things.

"Have ya cut ya woman yet Sam?" Chris, one of Mike's friends, asked.

"Well, you know how it is." Sam replied, meaning no is so many words.

"Buddy, tear into that." Chris said.

"You've been after Sarah Alice for months now, you getting any closer?" Sam asked.

"Why no. Moses couldn't part her legs."

Everyone died laughing.

Kevin waved a girl over, and then said, "Guys, meet my sister Terri."

Terri was a petite, nimble blonde with a muscular body and large breasts. In short, a heartthrob. After some catcalls and whistles from the guys, to push Kev's buttons, they introduced themselves to her. She left, and the guys started to talk about her.

"Boys, that's got a nice ass, doesn't it?" Mike announced.

"You see them titties? You could get lost in them." Sean, another of Mike's friends, whispered.

"I'd hit that in a heartbeat." Chris said.

They glanced down at Kev, a small look of anger on his face.

Sam turned to him, "Kev, don't get mad, man. It's ok, better they try to hit up on her than some of the other things that walk the halls."

The final bell had rung and the students began to pile out toward the buses and cars for the departure home. Sky, Kev, and Sam walked down the lower hall toward the back stairwell. Sky needed to stop by her locker. At the bottom of the stairs, Kev turned and noticed four guys had his sister Terri surrounded, grabbing and reaching at her.

"Wait in the lobby." Sam told Sky. She knew what it meant, and headed off.

Kev was ready to kill these guys, but Sam held him back.

"The Harding brothers. Don't fuck with them they will cut you open."

Kev broke loose and pushed one of them, Al, up against the wall, telling him to back off his sister.

The other three were ready to pounce when Sam broke up Kev and Al.

"Calm down. If you two are gonna fight, we're gonna do it right." Sam announced as the two stared each other down.

Sam looked at Terri, "Leave." She bolted down the hallway.

Sam returned his gaze to the Harding gang, and Kev, "Alright, the boy's locker room is open. He fights there. I'll follow Kev and Al in, to make sure neither one jumps the gun. Al, pick someone to watch me, to even it out. Whoever you pick doesn't jump in, or I jump on him. The other two brothers are locked outside."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Five minutes later Sam, Kev, Al and his brother Andrew were in the boys locker room. The locker room wasn't too large. The lockers were wood, and horizontal. Each like a stall in a bathroom. The door was locked, and the fight was ready to begin.

"Lets go you mother-fucker! No one interrupts me when I'm ready to get a piece of ass." Al said, becking Kev on.

"Not when the piece of ass is my sister, you faggot."

"After I kick your ass, I'm gonna fuck her and your damn mother."

Sam knew Al's fight plan, piss 'em off, and make them make the first move, when he would block or dodge. Sam wished Kev didn't fall for that.

"She doesn't fuck faggots who don't have a set of nuts."

Kev had hit the cord. Al hated being told he didn't have a set of nuts. He swung at Kev. Kev ducked, and hit Al with a rib shot. Then another rib shot, then another. He rose and decked Al between the eyes, then again, then again. He kicked him square in the gut, which knocked the wind out of him. He grabbed Al, and threw into the wall of a locker. He grabbed his head and banged it against the wall until blood appeared. He kicked his leg out from under him, and Al hit the floor like a hooker hitting the bed.

Andrew ran at Kev, pushing him into a locker, and laying kidney shots into him. Sam grabbed Andrew and pulled him from Kev, punching him right in the gut.

"No cheating!" Sam shouted, throwing him against the wall.

Andrew backed down, slinking to the floor. Kev kicked Al in the ribs, then in the head.

"Stay away from her!" Kev shouted.

Sam picked Andrew up, "Say your sorry for jumping onto him."

Andrew whimpered, "Sorry man."

Kev and Sam opened the door, and walked on out. They meet up with Sky and Terri in the lobby.

"Who won?" Sky asked.

"Kev did, kicked his ass." Sam replied, then let Kev tell them the story.

In the student parking lot, Kev asked Sam, "How are we getting home, I missed my bus."

"I'll take ya home. Don't worry, you've just gained a new ally. If you need something, call me. This could be the start of a great friendship." Sam said, shaking his hand.

"Thanks."

Sky walked over, and grabbed Kev by the arm. She led him off to the side.

"I like a man that fights for his women. Sam said you had a thing for me. How about I stop by later and help you lick your wounds." she said, licking her lips.

"I think I'd like that." he replied, and he embraced her.

They kissed, swam against the others eyes, and kissed again. He got a handful of her ass.

"Nice, very nice." he said.

Sam smiled. It was nice to see that Kev had found a good woman, and he now had a reputation at THS. One that hold with him for a long time.
