David Quigley's Childhood
David Quigley was born on October 12th, 1961 to Michael and Sarah Quigley in the depressed seaside town of Saint George. David was a quiet baby, never demanding unlike the majority of babies in their youngest years. He was able to read and write by the early age of 4 and by the next year, David was admitted to the kindergarten class.
Throughout his elementary school days, he was often ridiculed for his poor social background. His parents were not helpful in making him feel better. His father had been a fisherman for the majority of his life while his mother had to work two jobs in order to put food on the table most nights, working mornings at the local donut shop and then worked as an ER nurse weekend nights. With his mother barely around, David aquirred his personality from his father, Michael. Mister Quigley was a genetic drunk and when he'd return from his day in the Bay of Saint George, he would have several drinks, effectively intoxicating him. However with this in mind, David did have a few friends in school. One of whom was Greg Murphy. Greg was another quiet child in school, keeping to himself but after being close to David for several years, Murphy vanished. Not even to this day does David know what happened to him. It is assumed he had ran away from his own parents before the fifth grade.
All through middle school, he was very isolated. This isolation earned him the title as the Quiet One. Of course no one really took the effort to get to know Quigley all that well. He knew eventually that he would get revenge upon those who made fun of his family but that day would come down the road in life. David therefore didn't socialize in Middle School and the better part of High School. He had gained one close friend who continues to be his closest friend since then: Martin. His new friend was able to persaude their fellow classmates to elect David as their Class President. After three failed events and a fist fight, he was forced to resign. He then went into a slight depression, made worse once his father died when he was 16 years old. He never had a girlfriend through high school; had he have one, his childhood wouldn't have been as gloomy. Even though he remained quiet throughout his secondary education, David was valdictorian of his graduating class and was given a full scholarship to the College of Newton.
