Mr. Mitchell gave him a book called Hatchet by Gary Paulsen about a boy in a very dangerous situation and to survive he had to make himself stronger on the inside and out. Darrell thought how was the book gonna help him with Tyray because he wanted the answer to his problems not a book.

A little later Darrell had seen Amberlynn with Jamee and walked over and Jamee left for some punch and both Darrell and Amberlynn apologized to one another about what happen in english class and as a slow song played he asked her to dance thinking she would laugh when all along she was wanting the same the whole time.
