Love And War (Part 2)

"So... Valentine's Day is coming up...," Devon started the conversation as we were walking together. I was busy thinking about Ken. We had bumped into each other a lot lately and somehow, I felt bad for what happened last year. I felt like it was all my fault. I somehow wanted him back and I didn't know what I was gonna do. "I know, Devon," I sighed. "Why don't you write Ken a letter and say sorry. I'll pass it to him. It's worth a shot," Devon replied with a charming smile. "WHAT?!! REALLY??? You mean that???" "Yeah," he smiled. "Great IDEA!!!"


I quickly wrote Ken a sorry note and put it in a small envelope. "Here you go," I passed it to Devon. I know... I know... You're thinking I friendzoned Devon. I did not! Read on people, don't judge me... yet! As I was saying, I passed the note to Devon and he rushed off to see Ken. Ken and Devon had become really good friends lately so it was obvious why Devon had volunteered to give the note. I hoped everything would go on well as I watched Devon walking away.

That evening, I was really anxious to know what happened. I kept pondering about it. I tried to sleep but couldn't. I kept tossing and turning, wondering how Ken would react tomorrow. I finally managed to get some shut eye and woke up really excited. I ate breakfast with a smile on my face, hoping that Ken would be okay with me. I ran into the school in search of Devon. "Dev! So... how did it go?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled awkwardly, "He said he wasn't even mad at you. Why did you think he wasn't talking?" "What???! He didn't want to talk to me!" "Okay, why don't you call him today?" he asked. "I guess I could do that," I replied. "Good!" he said as he patted my shoulders.

I looked at Devon as he walked beside me. I just observed him silently. He was like a sweet angel. He liked me enough to help me with the guy I liked. He was really amazing. But what could I do? I still had strong feelings for Ken. So I just stopped gazing at Devon and concentrated on what I planned to say to Ken.

That evening, I picked the phone up and looked at it. Should I call him? I kept debating with myself. Devon's voice appeared in my head, "Okay, why don't you call him today?" I will, I thought to myself. I quickly dialed the numbers which I had memorized as it was one of the numbers I once rung the most. I waited anxiously to know if he would talk to me. The dial tone rung slowly. CLICK! Someone familiar picked the phone up. "Ken? Hey, it's Gina..." I said slowly.

"Oh Gina. How are you? Fine, I hope," Ken replied in a jovial manner. Did the phone call patch our special bond? Or did we only fight more later? Did Ken and I live happily ever after? Or did I realize that Devon was more special than I thought? Tune in to La Mia Storia (Love and War)to find out. Part 3 coming soon.
