    Senior year was starting, and it was going pretty smoothly. You were the most popular person in your grade. As an angel, everyone wanted to be your friend. Everyone loved you. But sometimes fate has other plans.

    As you went through your locker, your fans swarmed you. When you looked up, your eyes met his, and it was like lightning. Devin was everything you were told to hate, but you couldn’t bear to move your gaze for some reason. Your heart said something different despite all the warnings in your head about the dark-haired boy. Devin was perfect, and he was yours. You could feel in with all you were. But then you realized that it didn’t matter. He was a demon and a boy at that. It could never happen. Not if you didn’t want to end up like him. Being gay was a one-way ticket to facing the flames.

    As the weeks passed, you couldn’t separate Devin from your mind. You tried to remind yourself that there were rules about this. Rules that kept you from pursuing him because of who and what he was. You try to pretend the feelings aren’t there, that it’s all in your head. But you knew the truth deep down. This handsomely imperfect boy was your soulmate.

    Feeling drained from school one day, you were heading to a cafe and bumped into him. You couldn't think of anything else but him when you locked eyes. You try to stay calm and collected, but Devin easily sees the scared boy you are through your walls. He flashes a smirk, and you melt. Even when standing silently, something about him makes you want to give him your everything.

    Thirty minutes later, you’re sitting across each other in the cafe, dipping scones in mochas. In your confused state, you sit, giving him a strange look. You tell him that there’s just… something about him. Devin smirks and says, “So there’s something off about me that bothers little Prince Perfect?”
