Read the following passage. Dev kept his eyes on the board, but his mind was already on the river. He had told Ms. Alvarez he would stay for the makeup test, and she had looked at him the way teachers do when they have already decided you are worth the trouble. During the lecture he copied every word she wrote, even the dates he already knew, because disappointing her felt worse than missing the tournament. When the bell rang, he stayed in his seat. 'You can go,' she said. 'I saw you on the schedule.' Dev shook his head. 'The river'll be there next month,' he said, though he did not quite believe it, and began to write. What does Dev's decision to stay for the makeup test reveal about his character?
