Ace of Spades

Chiamaka and Devon meet with a journalist called Ms. Donovan. She tells them that she is very intrigued by their story and wants to broadcast their story live on television. To this end, she asks if there are any school-wide events coming up. As it happens, tomorrow is the day of the Snowflake Charity Ball, which the reporter insists is the perfect opportunity for Devon and Chiamaka to go public about their experiences with the racism at Niveus. Ms. Donovan and her film crew promise to capture the event and broadcast it across the country.

Chiamaka and Devon drive to Terrell’s house after their meeting with Ms. Donovan. They tell Terrell about Ms. Donovan’s plan, and Terrell agrees with Chiamaka that the idea sounds perfect. Chiamaka tells Devon to come over tomorrow morning so that she can give him something to wear to the ball. She leaves, and Terrell tells Devon that to get closure, he needs to confront the people at Niveus who have hurt him.

That night, Devon cannot sleep. He heads to Jack’s house and thinks about the good times in their friendship. Jack used to tell him that the Earth was flat; Devon thought he was joking.
