Finals are usually stressful. They become stressful when you have to take them for graduation. Luckily, they allotted Rain extra time and changed them for her. The only problem is, it stressed her.

Stress also comes needing relief. Good thing we were at my house and my parents weren't home. We were under the covers as I was behind her as our bodies rocked back and forth. She decided she wanted to try something new.

Food? Nope, not that. A different position? Yep, it was that.

As we kept moving and the bed kept squeaking, I didn't realize my parents came home.

As we found our release, my door opened as a lot of yelling happened in Italian. Since I know Italian, I can say that a lot of cuss words used and get dressed, along with a few other phrases I need not repeat.

After we dressed, my parents decided the living room was the best place to study. They didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but Rain reminded me they already did. Nothing gets past her.

I figure if things got too stressful, I'm sure we can plan to help relieve her stress.

Finals finally arrived, and all of us took them. I knew Rain would be more extended because of her allotted time, so I waited for her. With each class, I waited for her once I finished.

Then before I knew it, when we completed finals each day of finals, we found ourselves in a secluded place. I swear, as much as I enjoy this, I will be so happy when finals end. I need to sleep.

I knew one thing I wanted to celebrate once everything is said and done. What I had planned, I think everyone would enjoy.

After we finished our very last test of high school, we had to prepare for graduation. They wanted us to walk a certain way and line up a certain way. I don't know why we have to go through all this. Why can't they give us a paper that says you finished high school?

Antonio reminded me that's what we get, but the school wants to celebrate us leaving. I thought it was dumb. Who celebrates when someone leaves? Don't people cry?

Everyone said it was a way to celebrate us, making it through four years. Did they forget there's more schooling? I honestly think people need to understand better about situations because they don't.

Antonio told me it was fine. I think he needs his head examined because he's insane. Just thinking about this caused me to panic. He knew how to make me relax. Sex always makes me feel better now that I understand what it is.

Graduation arrived, and I sat with my friends. It felt terrifying. Oh god, there are so many people. I can't do this.

As I felt anxious, I had a meltdown. My family and friends tried to calm me, but it wasn't working. There are too many people.

"Rain, I have something that will help you," Antonio said to me.

My head snapped towards him, "Antonio, sex is not the answer right now."

Everyone looked at him.

"We missed something," Dad said to Mom.

I looked at dad. "Antonio and I are having sexual intercourse. We love each other, and it helps me relax. I'm eighteen, and so is he. Now, can we talk about something else besides my sex life?"

Dad looked at me as did everyone else.

"I don't have time for opinions. We can discuss how you want to harm Antonio later. Don't because then we can't get married and have children," I told him emphatically.

I don't know why everyone needs to make a big deal about this. Yes, we have sex. Yes, I like it a lot. No, it's not a big deal.

Antonio handed me something. I took it and looked at it. Then I looked at everyone. It immediately calmed me. He gave me Rainbow Dash.

"Okay, people, let's do this," I said, walking away. I wanted to get my diploma and leave. Is that too much to ask? According to the school, yes, it is.

We sat there finally after Rain calmed down, and graduation started, thank god. I'm so sick of these graduations. I'm skipping college graduation. They can mail my degree to me.

They made their speeches, although dad making them speed things up was way better, they finally got their diplomas. I cheered when Wade got his degree, and we all cheered when Rain got hers.

It was a proud day for all of us to see her accomplish something we never thought would happen. But she showed everyone, and I was glad. She deserves it.

After graduation, Dad let us loose, and we all left. Antonio decided we should all go camping. I hate to break it to him, but Rain hates camping. This idea should be fun.

Had you ever thought you had an excellent idea and realized it's terrible? Yeah, I found out quickly that Rain hates camping. She doesn't like bugs, dirt, or anything nature wise.

Luke and Cole laughed. Thanks a lot, guys. Can't they help someone out?

We ended up at Rain's house, all camped out in her living room. Colton set up the living room with pop up tents and nature sounds. We used their fireplace to roast marshmallows.

I roasted one for her and handed her the fork. She didn't want the graham crackers or chocolate. We didn't have chocolate because Morris ate it all, ass.

So we hung out, camping inside.

"I can't believe things are changing," Adrian said to us.

"Change is inevitable. No matter how much you don't want things to change, they do," Cole told him.

"Do you think we'll still be friends after all this," Rain asked.

"With a lot of work, anything is possible," Luke said as we all agreed.

That was the thing. None of us knew what would happen now, but I had a feeling things would change when we got to school. At least, for one of us, it would be. I had that feeling, and I hoped it was wrong.

But for now, we had the summer.
