Quite An Undertaking - Devon's Story - Plot & Excerpts
Maybe because I had to pay ten bucks for one horrible beer on Saturday. I pulled out my ham sandwich and baby carrots and laid them on top of my brown paper bag. I couldn’t trade with Gail because she and Travis snuck off school property to go to Subway. I said, “No, thanks,” when Gail asked if I wanted to go with them. I told her I didn’t want to get in trouble, but I really just wanted to see Rebecca. On one hand, I was happy that we only had school on Monday and Tuesday that week because of Thanksgiving break, but on the other hand I wouldn’t be able to see Rebecca for two whole days until I saw her on Friday at the girls’ basketball game. I sat alone at my cafeteria table trying to look comfortable by myself like a lone wolf or something, secure and confident with my solitary status. I’m not so sure I was pulling if off because I felt like a loser sitting there without friends. I snuck peeks at Rebecca every now and then, but couldn’t make eye contact with her. I was pretty sure she was avoiding me on purpose, even though we had already cleared up the misunderstanding about Bruster.
