Waiting for Tonight Darren Tomalty

Eunice Johnston is a natural born freedom fighter. She comes by it naturally with her 1970s activist parents and overcoming the taunts of 'half-breed' and 'mutt, ' growing up. She is admired in her Montgomery neighborhood for her fearless protection of underdogs, including her secret crush Sam Hood. Eunice's world is rocked when she's bumped a school grade and hurled into chaos at an inner-city high school. Not only has the teasing started again but Booker T. Washington is embroiled in drug trafficking that is a threat to the entire community. She joins forces with enigmatic, Terrence Battle and his band of vigilantes, who make it their mission to defend the school and teach the troublemakers a lesson. When a demonstration goes horribly wrong, Eunice must use her tempestuous nature to outwit rival gangs. Lost and alone, Eunice is left to make decisions that could ultimately cost her imprisoned father his freedom or save Sam from the cross hairs of the Alabama Klan
