Camila's POV

Together, we expanded our horizons and became better people. Our celebration is a group effort. We laughed together as a group. We battle together as a team. Because we were dependent on one another, we never parted ways. Furthermore, it has been a while and we are still present here.

Full graduation was achieved by us. In spite of the fact that I was forced to take a break for a whole semester due to that exact reason, they had never abandoned me. Kasama ko sila, sinabayan nila ako.

Walang naiwang nag–iisa, wala kaming sinayang na taon na hindi kami magkakasama. Pinatili naming buo ang samahan kahit na alam namin sa sarili namin kung gaano kami kaabala sa maraming bagay.

Hindi kami nagpatinag sa magulong takbo ng mundo, na kahit na problema at bagay na ang kalaban namin ay hindi kami sumuko. Buo pa rin kami, buo pa rin ang samahan namin.

Sa kaunting buwan na nakasama ko sila, hindi ko alam na sa kanila ko pala talaga mahahanap yung saya na hindi ko na ulit naramdaman noon.

"Congratulations, The Youngsters!" With his booming voice, Giovanni greeted each and every one of us. We caught his eye, and he made a gesture. Sabay sabay naming inihagis ang aming mga mortarboard hanggang sa pinakaitaas ng ere.

"We all made it!" I yelled, and when we had been successful in grabbing our mortarboards that were falling from the skies, we all made a group hug. Smiling faces are appearing all over our faces constantly.

Together, we were able to make our dreams come true. In other words, we did not merely succeed in making it. We can afford to trust and have faith in ourselves. We received titles upon graduation. While Sevann earned a Summa Cum Laude in Bachelor of Medical Sciences, Giovanni graduated as Magna Cum Laude, along with Reid and Khalil and I. In addition, I graduated as Magna Cum Laude.

Additional certificates, medals that are commensurate with the effort that we have put in, and, of course, some congratulations from the school and even the principal were presented to us during our graduation. I was also greeted by Moira Dela Torre, and if you really want to know the truth, it was Sevann’s sister who asked Moira to greet me.

Because of the way his sister first dealt with me, it was a pleasant experience. At first, I had the feeling that his sister was a little bit nasty. This was my initial reaction to being around her. However, despite her gruff appearance, she was an approachable and friendly person.

I was able to realize that I was on her side.

"Miss, pa–picture naman kami, oh!" My phone was handed over to me without delay by the lady. There was no way for me to respond to it. “Shet, ngayon lang 'to!”

Sevann, who appeared to be puzzled by her sudden action, was suddenly standing next to her. I was unable to utter a single word despite my mouth being parted. I have no grounds for complaint.

They were able to grab a picture with Sevann, who was already perplexed by the event. While he was looking at me. "Love?"

I merely gave him a short nod. "Let them. Just this time." I then smiled genuinely.

"Love, you know I can't." He insisted. Mahina lang akong natawa dahil alam kong wala talaga siyang magagawa lalo na at isa–isa na silang nagsilapitan kay Sevann.

Napabuntong–hininga siya nang malalim at napairap na lamang sa kawalan. Tila ba naubos na rin ang pasensya niya. Mas napakunot pa ang noo niya nang makitang may paparating pang ilan. Halos tatlumpung minuto na rin ang nakalipas simula nang magpapicture sila.
