Chapter Six

The next day, I checked my phone and saw that Devon had not messaged me back. I was relieved, but at the same time I was almost a little disappointed. Part of me was glad that he seemed to have gotten the message, and I would be able to just move on with my life, but another part of me was not quite ready for Devon to give up. I didn’t mention anything about it to Kelly; in spite of the fact that she had brushed her notion of getting revenge on Devon aside as a joke, I thought that if I told her about it, she would possibly convince me to go through with it. I wanted to get on with my life; I didn’t want to punish Devon, even if he had hurt me.

I told myself that I’d just take Devon’s giving up as a sign, and stop thinking about him altogether. But in spite of my resolution, I found myself thinking about him again and again as I went to my classes. My Tuesday class schedule was less intensive than Mondays, but even still I was appalled at how steadily I thought about him. I just wanted to get my head out of the whole situation. I wanted to be able to go back to the way that things had been before I had even met Devon Sealy.

You need to get off campus and do something, I thought as I wandered my way back to the dorms from my afternoon class. I didn’t even want to hang out with my friends; I just wanted some time to think of something—anything—other than Devon. I decided that I would go to a movie; I’d pick something that was playing that was really absorbing, and for a few hours at least I’d have my mind so occupied that everything else would fall away from me.

I dropped off my book bag, grabbed my purse and keys, and went back down to my car. I drove to the movie theater and looked at the listings for a while, trying to decide what I wanted to see. There were a few promising possibilities; I decided against a romance—that was the last thing I wanted to be reminded of—and I thought that a drama might be too much of a downer. I settled on a new superhero movie, bought my ticket and a frozen Coke, and settled in to be distracted for a few hours.

I managed not to think about Devon through most of the movie; apart from a few scenes where one of the characters reminded me of him, I was able to focus on what was going on in the movie, instead of what was going on in my life. But every time the character that looked like Devon came onto the screen, I thought about him. Am I making a mistake? Should I at least hear him out? No—he’s just a player, like everyone says. It would be a waste of time.
