Two months have passed. There should be a letter from the universities that she applied. Every morning, she will check the post box but all the letters are not for her. This morning, she got a letter from Monash University and University of Sydney. OMG! It's double! Can't imagine that feelings. She opened the letter from Monash University first.

"Dear Ms. Johnson, congratulations! We are pleased to offer you a seat at Monash University", then she opened the other letter and the content are the same.

"Aaaaarrrggghhhh!", she screams as she jumps many times. She doesn't care if her neighbours think that she's crazy. She runs and get in the house to look for her mom.

"Mommy! Mommy!", there's a tears of happiness.

"What is it?!", her mom says in panic. What happen to her daughter that she behaves like this? Stacey hugs her and gives her the letters. Mom read it. She becomes speechless then ends up crying. Sadness and happiness are mixing together. Sad because her daughter will leave her. Happy because she's proud of her daughter. Two universities at one time?

"Honey, I'm proud of you. I mean, we all are proud of you."

"Thanks mom. Thank you."

"Wanna tell your father?"

"No. Let him home first.", mom nods.

"Mom, I wanna go upstairs. I wanna tell Ash and Annie about this.", she says.

"Go on."

Ashton got text from Stacey. Her applications to go to university have succeeded. He's happy for her but when sees 'Monash University' and 'University of Sydney' are written there, his smile immediately disappear. Aren't that universities are in Australia? Why would she choose to study abroad? Oh boy! She hasn't knows that he likes her yet. He should tell her before she goes. Then he replies her text.

Ashton: Congrats! Meet me at 4. I have something to tell you.

Stacey: Thanks! Ok. Where?

Ashton: At the usual place.

The usual place means at the park. Where they used to play hide and seek when they were a kid.

Stacey: Ok.

That's it? Every time, when he gives her a long text message, she will reply it with the short one. It's annoying, really. Out of all girls, she's the only one who he gives the longest text message ever and she's also the only girl who gives him the shortest text message, EVER!

He will tell her about his feelings toward her today at 4. He wonders how she will respond. Will she accept it? Or she'll reject it? Oh no! Nightmares! He needs preparation. Preparation of being accepted or rejected. Hopefully, it is a good news.
