He moved into Roomettes area. At first nobody noticed Julio, but after the first day of school everyone knew who he was. Julio got into a fight with this boy named Ben. Ben was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. After the fight Ben and Julio became friends even though they got into a fight. Second, Ben was Julios first friend and maybe even last, if he didnt change is attitude. The first time Julio and Romiette met it was on the Internet, in a chat room. They didnt know that they went to school together, but then they both went into a private chat and got to talk and found out that they go to that same school. They set up a date to meet each other. Destiny didnt like the sound of that. Destiny was putting thoughts in Roomettes head about Julio and he is a pervert. So Romiette really didnt want to meet him. Next, even though what Destiny told Roomette, she still met him. She found out that he was no pervert, but just a kind-hearted gentleman. Romiette and Julio got even closer and closer towards each other. Well the Purple Gang didnt like this one bit. The Purple Gang started to threaten them verbally, telling them they better stop talking to each other. The Purple Gang didnt like the fact that Romiette was messing with somebody from another race. See Romiette was black, and Julio was Mexican, so the Purple Gang would harass them all the time. Soon, the Purple Gang started to meet them places so they can deal out there problems. So Ben, Destiny, Romiette, and Julio made a plan to stop all the violence. They decided to let the Purple Gang find out what they were going to do without letting them now that it was a set up. So the Purple Gang heard them and went to where they were going to be. Things started to go the wrong way right off the bat. At first the car stopped working, and Romiette and Julio were getting to far ahead. It was getting dark, so nobody could see what was going on. While Ben and Destiny were having car problems the Purple Gang came up to them and started to mess around. After that, The Purple Gang was getting real violent right away. They took out their guns, and started to put it up to Julios neck and the back of the head. They put blindfolds on both of them, so they didnt know where they were going. The Purple Gang took them to the lake. They put them on a boat in the middle of the lake. It was getting to be a stormy night. At first it wasnt too bad, but then it got worse. Romiette was getting real scared because she is afraid of water, and drowning. The lightening was getting closer and closer to the boat. They both were panicking and didnt know what to do. The lightening was about two strikes away from them. So Julio told Romiette that they have to get out of the boat no matter what or they were going to die. Romiette had to follow him, but she told him not to let her go no matter what happens. After, they jumped out of the boat the lightening struck, and hit the boat. The whole boat was all over the lake. Julio lost the grip of Romiettes hand. He was freaking out, and Romiette was drowning. He finally found her in the water. He was out of breath by the time he reached her. She was cold, and he was as well. They had to find warmth, or they would die of the coldness. They found a knocked over tree trunk with a cubbyhole for them to lie in. When they were doing this the parents of the two were worried sick. Destiny and Ben were also worried they didnt know what had happened to their best friends. The next morning, there was a search crew out looking for Romiette and Julio. The whole lake was covered with volunteers. The news team was out there live. Were Roomette and Julio found? Or did they die in the lake? To find out you would have to read the book. In conclusion, this book is a great book to read if you want a mystery book. This has to be one of the few books that I like and will read over and over again. If you dont read this book you dont know what you are missing out on. So try to get a hold of this book as soon as possible. ~~book review by teen, Jordan~~
