Belter couldn't meet Tommy, even though everyone had already graduated and they both shared Stephen as a close friend. In Belter's words, the moment he saw Tommy, he felt an urge to just shoot him. Just because they were from the same cohort, the Phoenix Society was always overshadowed by the White Robe Society. Tommy, at that time, had a beautiful girlfriend named Odelia, yet he still hit on the girlfriend Belter had painstakingly pursued. Even if Tommy had successfully wooed her and slept with her, Belter wouldn't have been as furious. No, it was that idiot who filled that literature major's head with that bullshit about living life to the fullest and enjoying the moment, and then she turned so wild she outdid even the Blonde Society's sluts in openness. As a result, Tommy's White Robe Society lackeys were the first to reap the benefits.
