Wasps
It was ,during the 50s in a small protestant,american,white suburb that ,15 year old, Mary, married her High School Physics teacher.The city would never imagine that such an inocent girl,with glasses,would be accepted as a wife. Did they care if it was a happy marriage? No.All they cared was that she was marrying a man who accepted her.
Her classmates were jelous of her,because she wouldn´t need to study anymore.She was,finnaly a wife. Her parents were proud that an older man ,from an influential family,chose her.It was a sign that she was,finally grown up and mature, for her age.
It all started when ,Mary,received a Valentines Day card ,from her teacher.In the card,he said,she was beautiful.And nothing more.It was the first time,in her life,that she heard someone,from the opposite gender,say that. Suddenly she was in a state of mind she never knew it existed. Finally,considered beautiful,by a man.And,now,finally, married.For the rest of her life she wouldn´t have a reason to worry.
Her mom said,before the honeymoon,that she should let herself be used by her husband,that was the purpose of marriage,that would bring babies for her. Making up a reason not to do that,would be stupid and selfish.
In that same wedding,there was a group of teenage boys,coming of age.They came from the most prestigious families in the region,and could get away with anything.On weekends they went to Rock n´ Roll parties and drink alcohol,be extremely obnoxious and loud,while they were driving their Ford Thunderbirds. No one would say a thing,because they were still considered children.
