Meet Satan

Tori first met Satan in health class after her freshman year - before his. He was pretty quiet but talked to a few people. She was pretty friendly and hit it off (as only friends) with the guy that sat behind her. They'd play games during class, breaks, and talk all the time about all kinds of stuff. There was no sexual chemistry there, so it was fun. She wasn't that attracted to him, but she sure was Satan. She finally talked to him the last day of class, and she thought he was cool.
She didn't have a class with him ever again, but she noticed him looking at her in the halls a few years later. She always thought he was cute, but now he had more muscles and was getting hotter.
He got himself a girlfriend, but he kept looking at Tori. This totally confused her, but she had already learned high school boys were confusing.

She figured he wasn't really into his girlfriend. One day, after they probably did it, she was hanging all over him, and he was looking at Tori behind them. He pushed his girlfriend off him and said, "Sh! We don't want everyone to know." She proved to be pretty oblivious to reality.

Another day, Tori was walking in the hall at a random time to interview someone for a newspaper article. He was chatting with a bunch of his jock friends, and as soon as they saw her, they all shut right up. After she turned the corner, they burst into laughter. She was graduating soon, but since her college was only an hour away, she figured it was worth a shot. She'd make sure he was single before she asked him out anyway.
So she finally got a hold of him right before she left for college. He was dating the girlfriend but also another girl, so he passed on Tori. She wasn't too shocked when she found out he and the girlfriend were no longer exclusive. He had a wondering eye, afterall. But neither she nor this other girl were cute at all. She didn't understand why he'd date mediocre preps when he could have a cuter college woman. Whatever - she was off to school to find college boys of her own. She knew he was popular at high school, but she could care less about that. College had 15,000 men to pick from and life changes for the better once you leave high school anyway.

Satan and friends thought they were the A-listers. They'd party a lot and talk smack about people. Some were cheesy preps from hell. Others just had bad attitudes!

So over the next few years, they'd randomly see each other. Tori visited the high school to see her friends, and she went to the Christmas Dance with a female friend so she could pal around with everyone - not because she was a lesbian. Satan was at the dance but didn't ask her to dance. He recognized her, though. So she'd think Satan liked her and she'd ask him out. He never actually told her no - he would fumble his words, tell her he was dating someone (sometimes, only after much prodding), and they never actually hooked up.
And then her senior year, she thought she saw him in Bloomington, two hours from his school. But a friend of a friend (who knew Satan) said he thought Satan was living at home with his parents and going to a local school. So she called his parents' house. She asked if Satan lived at home. His mom was very nice to her, as his entire family was whenever she called. (They were very polite, so she figured Satan would be nice by default. She thought wrong.) Satan's mom asked who she was, and when Tori said her name, she offered Satan's number to her at school. Yeah, he was still two hours away. But she recently bought a new car and didn't mind taking a road trip or having him down to her apartment.
When she called him, he yelled at her asking, "How did you get my number anyway?" She told him, and he bitched at her for calling his mom. She said, "Your mom OFFERED it to me!" She added that she heard he was living at home again anyway. She then added she thought she saw him at Taco Bell 3 weeks ago. She also thought she saw him a week and a half ago, but she left that out. Some guy called her work to see when she'd be coming in, and it wasn't the other store manager like the manager who gave out her schedule thought. He said, "I was in Bloomington a week and a half ago." But he didn't admit to being at her work. She asked him if he wanted to go out yet again, and he stalled. He said, "I don't know, I don't know you." So she said, "Well, it's either yes or no." He stalled some more, and she got annoyed as fuck this time - more than usual. He said, "Ok, if you call me during Thanksgiving break, and I'm not busy, I might go out with you." He might as well have said no, she figured. Other guys pursued her and there was another guy waiting in the wings - a guy she'd blown off a couple of years ago because she thought she'd go out with Satan. Obviously, her patience with him was wearing thin. She asked him if he wanted her phone number. Satan said no. Tori said bye. She meant it forever.
