Enchanted (Camilo Madrigal)

CHAPTER 31 - Why her?

Focus. Smile.

Looking at myself in the mirror. Ready to go and do work and chores.

Delivering pastries . I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle.

Miguel asked, "Are you delivering pastries again?"

I chuckled. "Yeah."

"You know you're capable-"

I saw Camilo and Gloria talking to Señora Alma. Gloria was smiling. What are they talking about?

Miguel asked, "Y/n?"

"H-huh?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah." I walked away, saying, "Excuse me, I'll be delivering these."

MIGUEL'S POV:

I took a look at where y/n was looking. Camilo and Gloria were there. She was looking at them. I could tell she was upset.

BACK TO Y/N'S POV:

Up in my room. Staring at the ceiling.

Mom exclaimed, "Y/n!" "Mirabel is here!.

Mirabel?

I hurriedly went down the stairs. "Y/n! I know everything."

"What?" I asked.

"About Gloria yesterday, and how you-"

"All right, let's go outside," I said, dragging her outside so mom wouldn't hear us.

She exclaimed, "You punched her?"

"What?" I responded. "I didn't. She was lying. I accidentally hit her with my knuckles."

"Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you," she added.

"What?"

She replied, "Well... they're both in the getting-to-know-each-other stage."

"okay.," I said. I'm starting to feel as if I don't care in the slightest.

"okay?" she inquired. "You're not going to do anything about it?"

"No. Look, I don't care anymore. I don't care if they date, get married, and have kids. Who cares?"

"Well...okay. I'm still here for you though." She said.

"Thanks." I said in a low voice.

"Wanna hang out? You know to... brighten up the mood?" She said,

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay, follow me." I followed her. Where is she taking me?

We arrived. To the lakes?

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"We're skipping stones on water." She exclaimed.

"Uh-"

"Can we join?" Some kids asked.

"Yeah, you can." I said.

They were on the water, skipping stones.

I was surprised when I heard Gloria.

Gloria said, "Hello Señora Pepa. Cake. Tres Leches. My mom and I made it."

"I know Seora Julieta is a fantastic cook," she chuckled, "but we made one for you guys."

Señora Pepa replied, "Thank you Gloria, you're so sweet."

"Oh, and by the way, I chose cherries for the toppings because I know Camilo actually likes them."

"You're being too nice to Camilo-"

No he doesn't. He likes strawberries. He likes them. But you wouldn't know, would you? I look away because who am I to say something? He chose you over me anyway. I thought.

Mirabel asked, "Y/n?"

I turned back to her "Y-yeah?"

She said, "It's your turn."

"You can do it!" exclaimed one of the kids.

I'm focusing on my shot and firing it. Bam. That was long.

"Wow, you're amazing," one of the children exclaimed.

"It's because she's my best friend," Mirabel says. I chuckled.
