FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 10, Dewald and Nicola are on the hunt for Christmas presents in the mall. Dewald plans for sensible gifts— books for his mother, a new swimsuit for his father to replace his embarrassingly old one. Nicola proves challenging, given her simplicity— she doesn’t favour expensive things, making her both easy and difficult to shop for. Later in a Wimpy diner, Nicola confides that she’s met someone online— Yolandi, a senior— but they've only conversed through Facebook. Dewald, recalling how different people can be online compared to the real world, encourages Nicola to call Yolandi, reassuring Nicola that he will accompany them on their first meeting for security. Nicola hesitates, citing complications, which Dewald teasingly attributes to Facebook's function for declaring 'complicated relationships.' Expressing apprehensions about coming out as gay in school, Nicola deflects Dewald's advocacy for vocal communication over online platforms. Dewald, persistent, sucks the last of his milkshake and reemphasizes the importance of getting to know Yolandi in real life. Nicola, grateful, recognizes Dewald's protective nature assures him she will remain cautious.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 10, shop Dewald en Nicola vir Kersgeskenke by die mall. Dewald besluit om vir sy ouers geskenke te koop, en dink oor wat hy vir Nicola kan gee, aangesien sy nie van duur items hou nie. Terwyl hulle later in die Wimpy sit vir gratis WiFi en melkskommel, deel Nicola opgewonde dat sy iemand aanlyn ontmoet het wat ook gay is, genaamd Yolandi. Alhoewel Dewald aanvanklik sy kommer uitspreek oor die risiko's van aanlyn bekendstelling, verstaan hy dat Nicola baie gelukkig is met haar nuwe vriendskap op die internet. Hy moedig haar aan om direk met Yolandi te praat, om te verseker dat sy dieselfde is as wat sy voorstel op die internet, en bied aan om saam met hulle op hulle eerste afspraak te gaan as ondersteuning. Nicola verras Dewald met die gedagte dat sy weet dat hy haar altyd sal beskerm, ongeag die omstandighede, waarop hy beloof om dit te doen.
