Until We Meet Again

The story is told from a Darcys point of view.

If the story was told by anybody else it wouldn't have been as interesting. Darcy was one of the only main characters in this book. Everything that happened in the story was revolved around Darcy. All the others characters weren't constantly in the story. They were talked about for a paragraph or too and then they were out of the story again. The whole story is based on the life and problems of Darcy if it were told by anyone it wouldn't make the story interesting This is Darcy , The main character in the book.

A piece of the book from Darcy's point of view:

When Darcy lied to her father and told him that she was going t babysit he believed her. Darcys whole family was at home eating dinner and she was heading over to Brians for a date. When Bran started to Do stuff to Darcy that she didn't like she began to shout and cry.

Im sorry Darcy pleaded as her parents scolded her for the lie she had told.

To the left : is a picture of Darcy with her boyfriend Hakeem. Darcy and Hakeem used to have some good times together before Hakeems dad got sick.

In the book Darcy had many problems within herself that she needed to deal with. She had to over come many problems that only she felt . Even though her parents , sister , and friends tried to help her they didn't know what she was dealing with.

Discussion Question Discussion Questions

If I could give Darcy advice about Brian id tell her that she needs to stay away from Brian. He seems to be paying way too much attention to Darcy and her life. It seems like theres something weird about Brian and the way he acts. It seems like people keep trying to warn Darcy about Brian but she just wont listen. Brian just met Darcy and he is already buying her gifts and following her around. Darcy should definitely not get involved with Brian, I also dont think she should speak to him because he seems like bad news.

I think Darcy hasn't told Tarah about Brian because she doesn't want Tarah to judge her. She knows that many people would not agree with her seeing Brian she would probably be very upset. She knows that Brian is bad luck and would not be happy that her best friend was seeing an older guy. If I was Tarah and I found out what was really going on with my best friend I would feel like there wasn't any trust between us.

Darcys reply: The gift that Brian gives me when he comes to my front door is an expensive looking gold chain. I was very surprised by this expensive gift. The only person that was home with me was Jamee when I received the gift was. Jamee also finds out about the gift when she sees it sparkling on my neck.

2.)What was did Darcy tell you she was doing when you came over ? When I first came to the door and I asked Darcy to go to the park she is hesitant.
