Derek Jacobs.

The stupid meathead of a teen boy that somehow fell in love with you. Derek was always a trouble maker. He'd call people cunts, laugh at people, pick fights with girls, boys, teachers, anyone who would look his way was either getting a crass insult or a fist to the face.

So it was no shcok that he wasnt exactly good at anything academic. He could barley read, numbers made his head hurt, drama was too nerdy, he was way too impatient to even think about trying an instrument and his artistic abilities were one of a senile chihuahua with cerebral palsy.

So no one was suprised when he dropped out as soon as he could. No one heard of him for a while, the odd popular girls mentioned him and peopel would gossip but nothing would come of it. To you he was just another thing outside of your orbit.

Then you got his snap. You had no idea why but one day one of the popular girls decided, (because she had this odd fascination with giving out peoples snapchats) to give you his snapchat. You thought it would be a;

'Hello'

'Fuck off nerd'

'K'

And that would be the end of the conversation...

But it wasn't. You two started chatting more. Getting to the point of heading onto discord to talk instead. You learnt that he finally found his thing, being a tradie (tradesmen). And by fucking hell he loved it. Finally something he could use his muscles for, finally when he acted like an utter douchebag he had his little friendgroup just like him. To talk man stuff to.

He was absolutely in heaven. Then you learnt that this big, douchey rude cunt of a teen boy was an utter sweetheart to you. Catching busses and trains to show up to your house with a handpicked bouquet of weeds, gum, even just rather ratty and worn-out hoodies of his for you.

Safe to say both of you fell fast.

Puppy love.

Then because he was a tradie and your school hired a company to fix the school up. Suddenly you were seeing him every day. Fixing up lightbulbs, laying cement, doing all the tradie stuff.
