Darcy Willis is on the phone apologizing to her friend Tarah about why she is late meeting her and her boyfriend Cooper Hodden at Niko's Pizza. But, Darcy is too busy worrying about telling Hakeem Randall what had happened to her during the summer. Darcy lied to her friend telling her that her manager made her stay late at work but instead Darcy was sent home early after arguing with a customer who said she was shortchanged. Hakeem's father was battling cancer, and his family was broke from medical bills. Their only choice was to move in with relatives in Detroit. Hakeem and Darcy broke up just before they left, Darcy was crushed by the loss. Then a miracle happened, Hakeem's father's health improved and he let his son live with Cooper. Darcy was worried about telling Hakeem that Brian had gone too far with her.
Darcy finally arrived at Niko's to meet her friends and Hakeem. Darcy felt uncomfortable and tense around Hakeem. They all talked about how they all changed in just one year. Darcy was worried that her and Hakeem were finally over for good. Tarah told her friend to give it some time, that things will get better. Darcy was dreading the first day of school.
Do you think Darcy should have told Hakeem about what happened to her when she saw him at Niko's Pizza and why?
