Keegan 

During lunch I could not get what Deven said out of my head. He had totally crossed a line. I mean who says shit like that to a STRANGER?? He doesn't know me! He sure as hell doesn't know what I like either.  Which was not that. 

Kyle hasn't stopped sending me concerned glances during lunch. I said I was fine and that I would just take my anger out on him during tryouts which seemed to satisfy Kyle. Or so I thought. 

My head was pounding. Why did the first day back have to be so brutal? Breaking up with Victoria was easy. But on the same day this jerk wad shows up? It made me look like im a quitter. 

I have absolutely no idea why I am so furious about Victoria and Deven. I NEVER get jealous. Ive always known that Victoria has gotten with some big shots from other schools but I never cared this much about any of them. So whats different? Is it the fact that I am finally seeing the cards fall in person? 

Kyles coughs which probably means he either choked on his food, which is likely, or that Ive been too deep in my thoughts. Him starring at me confirmed my suspicion. 

"What?" I said. 

Kyle shrugged and looking at me with a serious expression, "You were just dead to the world for a minuet bro. Whats wrong? Are you actually sad about Victoria?" 

Kyle always knows what to say to make me laugh, "No, Im just thinking about who to bag next is all." I said which chuckling. 

Deven and Victoria never came back into the lunch room which could mean many things. One being that she already has him following her around like a little bitch boy. Or that they are fucking in a janitors closet. Either one, I dont give a fuck. That crazy ass bitch is finally out of my life. For the most part. 

"Sure man." Kyle said, unimpressed. 

After we both finished eating Kyle coughed again, this time because his soda "went down the wrong tube" 

"Are you okay?" I asked through a fit of laughter. 

Kyle responded once he had air back in his lungs, "Yeah, but I could have died dude! Fuck."

Just then the bell rang which meant time for Physics. Whoopee for me. It also meant another class period without my best friend. You wouldn't think having a class without your best bro would be bad until you remember you dont really talk to anyone else in this school. 

We parted ways in the 500 hall and I popped in my air pods. Music always calms me down no matter how short the timeframe. 

I got to class and sighed when I didn't see the devil spawn anywhere in sight. Thank Fuck. I dont think I could stand another second of him being in my personal space. Whats with that anyways? 

I took a seat in the back and got on Twitter while other classmates started to file into the classroom. Maybe I should start making friends this year? I thought. I know Im not going to ace this class by any means and whats the harm in getting some help? 

I looked around the room to see some familiar faces. Girls I have known my entire life because, again, small town. Guys that have tried out for the lacrosse team. I was about to focus back on my phone when the devil incarnate waltzed into the room with a smirk. 

Did this guy request to have all my classes or some shit? 

I rolled my eyes and focused on what song was playing when I felt an evil presence take a seat directly behind me. Bro, really? I felt like prey in a very fucked up game of cat and mouse. I hated it. 

Throwing all caution to the wind and having a moment of "Fuck it" I turned around and stared at Deven. 

"Whats your deal?" I asked. Short and simple. 

Deven, who was already staring at me, replied, "I dont know what you mean?" 

I cant let this guy win. I cant let him know he is already in my head. Victoria was one thing but this captain spot was mine. 

"Um, why do you sit next to me in all these classes?" I asked. 

Deven smirked, "I cant sit next to you or something?" 

Now I was really confused. Did he want to be friends now? I didn't even know how to respond. 

"Are you just trying to get into my head or something? Victoria will let you fuck her. I know that, as well as everyone in this town, and well, pretty much every town." I said like it didn't bother me. 

Deven, still smirking replied, "I know that, Ive heard things about your relationship. I knew that part was going to be easy. I want to take something else from you though." 

"Well, good luck because that captain band has my name written all over it." I said. 

Deven laughed and shook his head which made me nervous. How could this guy make me so nervous so easily? 

Feeling overwhelmed with nausea I turned around and planned to pretend he didn't exist until tryouts. Thats until I felt my desk every so slightly shaking. 

I turned around to see Devens leg twitching and hitting his desk. 

"Do you mind?" I asked eyeing his leg. 

"No, not at all." He responded while smiling. 

Fuck this guy cant breathe without annoying the fuck out of me, I swear. 

Class lolled on until the bell finally rang. I popped in my AirPods hoping that I wouldn't have to interact with Mr.Douche again. I was also confused as I replayed our conversation in my head. He knew about Victoria and me? I guess being the hottest couple in the school people were bound to talk. Was his goal on day one to make us break up? And why didn't he mention her at all during class? 

I couldn't wait to talk to Kyle again. I was almost home free when a large, and warm, hand pulled me back by my shoulder which I immediately shrugged off. 

"See you on the field Princess." Deven whispered. 

Hearing the pet name again made my ears grow hot. This guy has a lot of nerve. But again I cant let him win. I have already let my anger get the best of me today. 

I chose to ignore the whole interaction and head to English class instead. 

I practically hugged Kyle when I saw him sitting in the back row of class. He doesnt even know the mental anguish Ive been under today. 

I took my airpods out and sat down beside him. "Hey man." I said. 

"Wassup bro. Has Deven been in any more of your classes?" He asked. 

I guess he could read it on my face. "This guy has been in ALL of my classes Kyle. ALL of them. How is that even possible?" I said. 

Kyle laughed and shrugged. "I dont know man. Thats pretty wild though. Must suck." 

"You have no idea. I have got to talk to you after tryouts though. Want to come over for dinner at mine?" I asked. I really hoped the answer was yes. 

"Yeah for sure. Luckily we dont have homework due for another week." He replied. 

I internally sighed with relief. "Cool, we can order pizza or something. I think my mom works tonight." 

AP English was over before we knew it which meant the most dreaded class was next. Usually its my favorite but today I knew it would be like hell on earth. It also meant I would have to face Deven again. 

I smirked when I thought of what was next. A whole period where you could let your anger out on other people and not get into trouble. Hell it was even glorified. 

Maybe tryouts wouldn't be so bad.
