(ch.6)

Yu and Xaing took their big ELA test and the next day they got their results, Yu got a A and Xaing got a B+. Xaing's mom was so proud of him because he had never got a good grade on ELA. After dinner everyone went in their own room.

In 3 weeks it will be summer, so everyone studied hard to pass the school year, then after three weeks it was summer. Everyone was happy that is was the end of the school year. Yu had a lot of plans to do with her best friend Ming and Xaing had plans with his friends then Li and Jing called everyone to the living room so they both said "Um...so we're moving out into an apartment together and we have been planning this for a long time," in a nervous and excited tone. The parents were surprised but let them to do because they're old enough to make their own decisions. Summer started so Yu and Ming went to have fun everyday, so did Xaing and his friends, the parents had fun with each other. When Yu and Ming went out, Ming said "I'm sorry Yu but I have a boyfriend now so I want to spend the summer break with him."

Yu said "Oh it's fine so who is this person that you're dating."

Ming said "It's one of Xaing's friends but I can't tell you," as she grin in happy and nervous way.

Ming said "Well I have been living with his family for a few months now and I got to know him, he's is different at home."

Yu said "That's good, so you won't be hanging out with me anymore for the rest of the summer?"

Ming said "Sorry but yep."

After that day Yu didn't see Ming. Xaing still hanging out with his friends, since Yu got no one to hangout with, she would go to Li and Jing's apartment and talk with Jing while Li works to pay for the apartment or she'll do things with the parents which is boring.

One summer night, the parents went on a double date and they won't be home until the next day, so Xaing and Yu are the only ones home. Yu cooks dinner for the two of them, they talk how their day went. Xaing said "My day was fine with all of my friends. What about yours?"

Yu said "Boring cause I have no one to hangout with," and they talked about other things. After dinner they went to their own room but it started storming really bad, Yu was really scared of thunders then there was a loud boom. Yu scream then Xaing ran into her room. He saw Xaing covering her ears and crying, he immediately hug and told her "It's okay, I'm here now." Yu hugs him back and crying on his shoulder. After a minute she stopped crying and broke the hug, he said in a worry voice "Are you going to be okay?" Yu nodded her head and then there was another loud thunder Yu got scared again. Xaing said "Do you want to sleep in my room for the night?"

Yu said "Y-yes." in a frightened tone.

Yu sleep on the bed and Xaing sleep on the ground and then there was more loud thunders. Yu was quietly crying but she's trying not to wake up Xaing. After 10 minutes Xaing woke up and he heard Keria quietly crying. He sat up and said in a very worry voice "Keria are you okay?"

Yu said in a scared tone "I-I'm scared."

Xaing said "What do you want me to do?"

Yu was really scared and wasn't thinking straight so Keria said "Can you come up here and hold my hand while we sleep?" so he did but they left some space between each other.

Yu ask Xaing "Can I kinda squeeze your hand everytime I get scared?"

Xaing said "Sure," so everytime she got scared, she squeeze his hand a little but the more she kept squeezing his hand, the closer she pull herself to him. Xaing use his other hand to pat her back to calm her down but soon both of them fell asleep in each others arms.
