Stay in love

The days passed quickly. There's an intramural this whole week. Our school came up with friendly competitions in various sports like basketball, football, badminton, chess, baseball, fencing, and dance competitions. There are also booths from different courses.

And today, my friends and I are watching the basketball game between the BSBA and COE students. Many people are in the gym, and everyone is making noise to support their favorite team.

My friends and I are in the bleachers with a banner to support Lucian and Phoenix in their game. They are in COE as the starter player. With us are their other cousins ​​and Kuya Lucian's friends. Next to me are Luciana, Carla, Denise, and Louise.

The people inside the gymnasium became loud due to the intensity of the match. The other team is also good, but Lucian's team is better.

As I see Lucian playing, my heart is happy. I'm glad to see him happily playing; I'm all cheered.

On the other hand, Luciana does not know if she is doing the right thing because she is supporting Lucian or her department. That's why we are teasing her. We laughed every time she couldn't stop cheering along to the chant for the engineering department.

The match was good. Lucian's team won with only 8 points lead. The game was tight because the other team, including a varsity player, was also good.

We were delighted when they won. We even hugged each other and shouted our chant for Lucian and Phoenix.

We could not get close to them immediately because of the number of students who wanted to take pictures with them.

I make a straight face while watching Lucian and Phoenix, letting girls have pictures with them. They allowed these girls because they were women, and that's what these two playboys wanted. They are literally flirting with these fanatics.

It was a few minutes before they approached us.

"You're great, Brother!" Luciana said and hugged Lucian. I hugged Phoenix. "Congratulations. You guys are great." I said.

Phoenix laughed and hugged me back. "Thank you, babe. We are more inspired because you are here." I just laughed at his flattery. Phoenix is ​​one of the most incredible people I've ever met. He's friendly and thoughtful.

I hugged Lucian afterward. He lifted me slightly, so I laughed.

"We won!" he said after getting off me. I laughed again. "I know, and you are very good at playing," I told him. He laughed and ruffled my hair.

"Not really. We were just boosted because you watched," Lucian also flattered. I laughed because they look so much like Nix.

"Congratulations," I said.

Lucian smiled and pinched my nose. "Thanks, Luci. I won that game, so it's worth it for you to always watch my practice game," he said, making me smile.

My heart fluttered so much that I silently wished it to calm down because maybe later, I would suddenly have a heart attack since it was beating too fast.

"My pleasure. That's why you should win the championship. Then you should also win the championship in the national game." I said, making him laugh. He messed my hair again.

"I promised," he says.

We both looked at Marcus when he put his arm above Lucian's shoulder. "Congratulations. So, is there a celebration later?" Marcus said.

"Sure! At home later. Is it a double celebration? Right, Caiden?" Lucian asked Caiden. Caiden will play in the football match.

Caiden grinned. "Of course," Caiden said confidently. He has the right tho, since he is good at playing football.

We laughed and cheered him on. The football match will start in a few hours, and Caiden is a football player. He is on the varsity football team. Varsity players are not prohibited from participating in their department's games.

Lucian released us first so they could get dressed and say goodbye to their team. We'll eat first before we go to Caiden's match.

I felt Caiden's arm around me. I smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. "Good luck, Caid," I told him. Caiden is one of my closest friends, so I don't mind.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, Lucila," he said, making me smile.

Since Celeste and I became close, Caiden and I became closer. He comes to me when he needs help with impressing the girl he likes now. He came to me when he buys things to give to the one he's dating, which is why I've also met Hope, the girl Caiden is dating. I can say that Hope is very kind. Like Celeste, Hope is an innocent and gentle person with not only a beautiful face but also a heart and behavior.

That's why I'm voting for Hope for Caiden over the other girls who pay attention to him. I know that Hope is the deserving one. That's why Celeste and I agreed that we want Hope to be Caiden's girlfriend.

I am happy that Caiden has asked for my help. I feel like I can help him, even in these minor things.

When the football game started, we were all cheering for Caiden. It's fun to see him playing, especially since he seems to impress the girl he likes because we saw Hope watching.

When the game ended, Caiden immediately went to Hope. We saw him all smile while talking to Hope.

Hey! Our Caiden is in love! Celeste and I looked at each other and just laughed it out.

Caiden's team also won; we were happy for him. We all congratulated him. "Thank you, guys. We won because you cheered for us."

We looked at him teasingly about the girl he had approached earlier.

Caiden shook his head and laughed.

I am really happy for him! When we were ready, we told Caiden to invite Hope to celebrate with us at Lucian's house.

"Next time. Hope is reviewing now for their test," Caiden said with a smile on his lips. Teasing rained down on him as he was the second Griffin to take a relationship seriously! Wow! It's not surprising anymore.

He just laughed and winked at Celeste and me. We just stared at him, and Celeste laughed. As for me being at their house often, I don't know if we won't be so comfortable with each other that we already know his true feelings for Hope. Caiden is in love now. And as his friend, I am really happy for him.

I hope Lucian and I are the same.

They always say that once a Griffin falls in love, he or she will stay in love. That they will only love once.

So hopefully, like Hope, I will be lucky and be loved by a Griffin.
