The book I read was Painting the Black by Carl Deuker. "What was going to happen next? That was the question that was going through my mind. “What was going to happen next?" This quote was my favorite part of the book because it gave me a sense of suspense and made me not want to put down the book. Ryan, a senior in high school, was repeating this question in his mind after he witnessed his teammate, Josh, attacking another girl from their school in a dark music room after the bell rang. Josh and Monica were always going through verbal battles that had led up to this. The final straw was when Monica printed an article that basically compared Josh to a dog in a magazine that she's the manager of. Josh and Ryan were friends and teammates on the school's almost undefeated baseball team. So after Ryan saw what Josh did he was facing the dilemma of what was going to happen next. If Ryan rats Josh out he causes the team to lose a trophy they've been wanting for years, but if he keeps quiet he could live with eternal guilt for not helping Monica punish her attackers.
