Worthy

So in recent times, I did everything just to be worthy of Lucian. I did my best to be prim and proper. I never let any boys close to me aside from the Griffin. I turned down all my suitors because I want Lucian to be my first boyfriend and I know he will be the last.

I know it is too ideal and almost impossible to achieve since Lucian only sees me as his little sister, so I did all my best to somehow make him see it in a different light.

I have no courage to tell Lucian straight that I love him so I always show Lucian that I care about him. My love language is an act of service so I make sure that I give him my full support in all the things he's doing. If he needs a friend that he can lean on, I am willing to be one.

I also make sure that I do an outstanding job in my studies since Lucian excelled in his class when he was still a student so I want him to be proud of me as well when I finished college. I aim to graduate with Latin honor and join their company once I graduate.

I want to work in a place where he works. He knows that, so from time to time he is giving me pieces of advice.

Lucian and I became closer in the days and months that passed. Luciana and I were like sisters from the beginning and we became even closer to each other. Even his cousins ​​are like family to me. I feel like a Griffin because of our closeness to each other.

And I am very happy because I have become a part of their life and family.

Celeste's 18th birthday came. It was grand. Her parents let Celeste invite all her friends, classmates, and even teachers to her debut. Her parents invited prominent people from their business as well.

We are all happy for her since she's an adult now. I am somehow at ease since she can now decide on her own. I know she's reserved and kind and it might be to her disadvantage, so I am glad that she's a lady now. I know that she's starting to learn how to deal with a lot of people she's interacting with.

I cannot believe that the little girl I used to baby a lot is now a grown-up lady!

And what's surprising is Marcus is her escort! This is a sign that Caiden is already agreeing to whatever mutual understanding between Marcus and Celeste is having.

"All I wish is your happiness, Celeste. I hope you will get whatever you desire in life. I love you," I told her when I handed her my gift. Celeste smiled at me. She looks really happy since she started dating Marcus. Yes, Caiden permits Celeste and Marcus to date and get to know each other.

"Thank you, ate Lucila," she told me and hugged me. I hugged her back. I am praying that she will never get hurt.

Since the day of Celeste's debut, she and Marcus have often been seen together. Sometimes it's Marcus who drops her off at school and he will send her home too. I know that it is something that Caiden doesn't like too much, but he doesn't do anything to stop the two because he knows he can't stop things like this anymore. I know that Caiden has also supported Marcus because Marcus is a good person and he has good intentions. Marcus keeps on proving it to Caiden and for the rest of the family.

Caiden has passed the board and is fully a police officer. He's planning to join the navy, but since his relationship with Hope is still new, he decided to start as a police offer for now.

Lucian on the other hand is now a junior engineer that making his name. His talent and skill are now being recognized.

While few of them are starting to build their chosen careers, my friends and I are being caught up in a lot of school work. A lot is going on at school and Iana and I have been trying everything to survive. Sometimes we lack sleep and forgot meals but it was worth it when we saw that we were getting nice grades.

"You should loosen up a bit, girls. I know how hard it is to study but don't burn out yourself too much." Lucian told me and Luciana when he saw us in his sister's room doing paper works.

"Exam is coming," Luciana said. "We cannot slack off even a bit if we want to pass this semester."

Lucian laughed at her sister. "I know the exam is coming and you are all working hard for it. But after the examination, go find time to relax."

We nodded at him. But at the moment, we cannot think of anything aside from passing the exam.

"I wish this hell week is done already. I want to have fun!" Luisa complained. We are all sitting in the school's café. We have free time so we decided to gather today. We just want to eat together for lunch.

"Let's go shopping after the exam," Carla suggested. "Let's watch a movie or go bar hopping," she added.

"Or what if we go out of town and find boys?" Denise suggested. We usually plan an out of town vacation once semester ended. We make sure that we have time to cherish our friendship. Every weekend, we go on group date, just the five of us.

"I loved that! Let's do that by next week!" Luisa agreed.

Luciana and I shook our heads. I am wondering how our friends were able to balance studies and dating boys at the same time. Luisa has her boyfriend now, Denise is dating someone, and Carla is now planning to give her answer to her suitor.

It is just me and Luciana who have no interest in men and getting into a romantic relationship. Luciana is just so timid and afraid to get into a relationship, so she turned down all her suitors while I have no interest in men since I only like Lucian. I don't want to have a boyfriend unless it's Lucian.

No other man can steal my attention and interest in Lucian. Until now, I've been doing everything so that when I can be with Lucian, I'll be worthy of him because I've already achieved some things in life, so I'm studying hard and finding a job once I graduated from college.
