Chapter 6

The last day of school had finally come. Fog blazed brightly in the morning sun as Darcy reluctantly made her way toward Bluford. Nearing the high school, she heard several students talking about how glad they were that exams were over and that summer vacation was about to begin. Darcy wished she felt as they did, but to her, the summer was coming too quickly. Hakeem would be gone in days. Even though he had broken up with her, Darcy still hated that he was leaving, and that things had turned out so horribly between them.

When she reached her locker, Darcy saw Brisana Meeks heading in her direction. Darcy rolled her eyes and hoped she would pass by, but Brisana came right to her.

“Hi, Darcy,” Brisana said, with a tight-lipped smirk. “Aren’t you glad the school year’s over? I couldn’t take another day in this place.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Darcy replied cautiously. She did not feel like talking to Brisana about anything, especially not Hakeem.

“Well, I just wanted to make sure everything’s okay with you. I mean, I saw you with Brian again the other day, and you looked really upset,” she said.

“So?” Darcy challenged. “What’s it to you?”

“Why are you getting so mad? I just wanted to make sure you’re okay, you know, with Hakeem and Brian and everything.”

“I’m fine, Brisana!” Darcy snapped. “When did you become so interested in my personal life?”

“What do you mean?” Brisana asked. “Can’t I try and make conversation with you?”

“Well, it’s just that you don’t seem to want that,” Darcy said, closing her locker door.

Brisana stepped back and glared at Darcy. “How would you know what I want?” she yelled. “Maybe I act that way because you never give me a chance. You’re always with Tarah, and I never get a word in edgewise when I try to talk to you.”

Darcy did not know what to say. She was not sure whether Brisana was serious. “I’m sorry, Brisana. There’s a lot going on right now, you know? It’s hard to talk about everything,” Darcy explained.

“I know,” Brisana said, moving closer to Darcy. “But there’s something I need to tell you, something important. I think you should be very careful with Brian Mason,” Brisana said slowly. “I know things about him, things that other people might not know. I tried to tell you before, but you—”

“I don’t want to hear it!” Darcy snapped. Now she knew what Brisana was after—Brian. Like so many times before, Brisana was trying to stir up trouble. But it wouldn’t work, Darcy thought. “Bye,” she said abruptly.

“Darcy, just listen for one minute—”

“That’s it, Brisana. I can’t talk right now, okay? I’ve gotta go,” Darcy snapped, turning away. As she headed down the hallway, Darcy glanced back to see Brisana still standing by her locker. Her mouth hung open, as if she had just been slapped.
