My parents were high school sweethearts. They're practically perfect for each other. They married straight out of high school and not long after had me. Hi I'm Salem. I'm 18 years old and was born in 1966. I'll be going off to college in about 2 weeks. I'm hella attractive. I mean that's what the ladies would say, that's for sure. I'm the most popular guy at school any woman would consider herself lucky to be with me. My friends and I often go out to parties and get trashed. I take a new girl home just about every night. It's not hard when you're me. Well it has gotten a bit difficult, but that's only because of my dumb ass friends. They dared me to ask out this hot girl, Tori, at my school about 3 months before summer break. They thought I wouldn't be able to get with her since she's always turning down guys. I had to prove them wrong so I walked over to her and just like that she fell for me. The only reason I continued to date her was because my friends decided to make the dare a bit harder by adding a time requirement. Not to mention I hate the thought of not having control over her. So, long story short I'm stuck with her until we go off to college which isn't that far away anyway. Besides it's not like I quit the partying and one night stands. I still have fun only difference now is it involves getting my friends to lie to her. Every time I go out partying, I just tell Tori I'm hanging out with the boys. She started catching onto me after I blew her off 3 times. All of a sudden she walked up to me one day and began to raise her voice at me! Who does this woman thinks she is? Raising her voice at me! So I had to shut that down really quickly. You know put her in her place where she belongs. I told Tori she was acting jealous and it wasn't a good look on her. If she wanted to stay with me she would have to quit acting like a bitch. She went quiet and nodded. Finally she went back to normal. It hasn't been all that bad with Tori, though. We have our fun. In the shower, at her parent's, the back of my black 1983 Chevy Camaro with red highlights. She's great, but gets so clingy. I definitely prefer the single life which is why I've decided to go to a completely different college than Tori. As soon as I win that dare I'm dropping Tori and getting the hell out of this town.
