Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Police arrive at Carrie’s house. Zuri thinks to herself: “I just hope no one tells the police that two black boys at this party started all this mess and it ended in a fight” (245). Zuri tells Darius to hide in the bathroom. However, the situation is quickly handled, as Carrie simply doesn’t let the police in, telling them that everything is fine, and the party is over. Zuri is surprised by the ease of the interaction.
Darius takes Zuri and Layla back to his house. Zuri doesn’t want her parents to catch Layla drunk, so she gives Layla a couple hours to sleep off her intoxicated state at the Darcy’s. Meanwhile, Zuri and Darius talk. Darius takes Zuri up to the roof of the Darcy home. They talk, each admitting that they misjudged the other one, and then Darius kisses Zuri.
Darius walks Zuri and Layla home. As they approach the house, they see EMTs bringing a body out on a stretcher. It’s Madrina. Zuri thinks to herself, “I was on the roof with Darius when Madrina’s spirit left the world. Our bodies were glued together and I was happy for a little while […] Maybe it was Madrina, priestess of the love goddess Ochún, who made it so.
