The next and final book that I read for the school year was called Shattered by Paul Langan. The book takes place in Bluford, Claifornia and is in present day. Darcy is starting her junior year at Bluford High School. She is finding out that her Ex-Boyfriend (Hakeem) is moving back from Detriot. He had to move because his father was diagnosed with cancer and he wanted to be with his family.
Darcy goes to Niko's pizzeria to meet Hackeem, Cooper, and Tarah the day before school starts. They thought it would be a good idea since they haven't seen each other in a while. When they get there, everything is so...awkward. Little do they know, secrets are being kept from each other. Hackeem is hiding that he found a new girlfreind as soon as he left Darcy for Detriot. Darcy is hiding that when she made a new friend named Brian, he was a little too friendly. Luckily, Darcy's dad came to the rescue before anything really happened.
On the first day of school, things are pretty normal. Darcy goes to school, meets all of her teachers, and looks at all the nervous freshmans. Everything is fine until first period. An unexpected conversation with Tarah shows that Hackeem is hiding a secret from her and Tarah knew all about it the whole summer. Darcy is furious and ignores everyone except for Brisiana (her "friend"). Darcy agrees to meet Hakeem but his new girlfriend comes out of no where and "drops the bomb". She tells Darcy everything by rubbing it in her face, smiling, and hugging Hakeem. Darcy (completely flabber gasted) runs away and goes to her grandmother's grave.
Surprisingly Hackeem finds Darcy and apoligises and explains everything. Darcy decides that there is no need for an apology. Instead she just tells him about what happened while he was away. Hakeem immediatly starts yelling about how she didn't diserve something so cruel. He payed attention to what Brian did, not what Darcy did to cause it. Storming off, Hakeem sprints down the street with a scary look in his eyes. He promises to call Darcy later and is gone within secnds.
The falling action is when Darcy is at home with her sister jamee, and her mom while her dad is working late. While Darcyis sitting in a chair resting her cell phone rings, it's her bestfriend Tarah. Tarah tells Darcy to hurry because Cooper and Hakeem are heade towards Brian's apartment to beat him up. As soon as Darcy heard, She dropped everything and ran out the door. While running as fast as she could to Brian's apartment, she couldn't help but think of all the bad things that could possibly happen.
What happens when Darcy get's to Brian's apartment? Is she too late? Will Hakeem ever forgive Darcy? All these question will be answered as soon as you read the book!
