Chapter Six

In spite of the fact that I’d told Kelly that she had no idea what she was talking about, after she left—not only my room but also the dorm suite itself, based on the sound of the door closing behind her—I started to doubt almost immediately. She had always looked out for me. We had fallen out of touch her first year in college but gotten close again when I decided to go to the same college she had chosen. I’d messaged her, and she’d been delighted that I was going to be there.

I had been so grateful to be close with an upperclassman when the first week of classes had started; she had given me all of the shortcuts to my classes, and she had told me about all of the professors I had for the mandatory courses that all freshmen had to take. She’d become like an older sister to me, and we’d both been happy to discover that we didn’t have to complain to each other about keeping the dorm clean or about noise during quiet hours. Of all of the friends in the group we were in, she was the one that I was closest to for very good reasons, and she had never given be bad advice.

She had seemed pretty happy for me that I had lost my virginity; she had seemed to know I’d gone for it even before I admitted it.

After all, we’d started off talking about basketball; he’d been doubtful that a girl could really be into it—that made sense, didn’t it? Most guys seemed to think it was weird for me actually to like the sport, especially when they found out I’d never actually played. I wasn’t the tomboy type, so it didn’t seem to compute for them.

And then talking about the other people at the party, joking around, it was the kind of thing that you did, wasn’t it? I wracked my mind, trying to remember everything that I had ever heard about Devon, trying to decide whether or not to put any stock into what Kelly had said.

Part of me wanted to think that she was just protective; after all, most guys probably were just out for a lay and didn’t really care, even when they knew that the girl they were with was a virgin. It wasn’t an unusual thing at all. And I
