Dreams do come true - City of dreams

Complicated twist | Chapter 5

We went in and Toia called me when she saw us. She started giving me a motherly speech and I told her that her kid would be so lucky because her piece of advice was really good. She asked me if I was sure about my choices, but this was what I had been hoping for, for years. Then I went to talk to the girls and I saw that Sofi, Toia & Ana went to talk to Marcos. He had a scared face because 5 minutes ago they had been talking with me, but after a while they had a hidden smile that I could notice, so I supposed it were good news. Later we went to have dinner and we sang songs from musicals we all loved. I started feeling dizzy so I got up and told the girls I would be in the room. They came up after 15 minutes. We started chatting and then we started hearing a loud discussion coming from Marcos and Jocho. I went out to stop them but I fainted and this is what the girls told me:

"you fainted and Jocho caught you, then he and Marcos laid you down and we called Sofi, she told the boys to go to their room and later she would go. We took you to the room and we stayed some time until you woke up. Mean while we were able to hear Sofi, Toia & Ana kind of punishing Marcos and Jocho. Martín who didn't understand anything was asked to keep them from killing each other. After some minutes we started listening a riff-off coming from the boys room."

When I woke up I stayed alone with Valen and Pichu. Mili and Jaz went to prepare some tea for all of us. We started talking about life drama, except mine because there had been enough talk about it. Valen revealed that she had a crush on a boy from the upper camp, his name was Lucas. He was really hot and we all had seen him in ACMBA'S production of "Once On This Island". He has an angelical voice, he can sing really high and low notes. He loves Hamilton and knows all the songs and raps, just like Valen so they are meant to be. When Jaz and Mili arrived laughing and singing at a really loud voice, Guns and Ships from Hamilton we were moving on to Pachu's romantic life. She had been hit on by Martín who is really nice, but she doesn't feel the same way. When they came in really innocently, we realized how much we had changed because the year before we'd just sing like they did, not talk about boys. We were becoming actual teenagers, and we didn't want. We decided to go outside, we started singing but Toia came to tell us to lower our voice, Mori and Cler were going to the room when we went outside, they were already tired.

In the backyard we saw Marcos and Jocho yelling at each other and Martín trying to separate them. I had to go to save Martín and separate those two. I asked Marcos to talk to him. I really liked him, but Jocho was my best friend and I didn't want them to fight. I asked him to try not to react that way the next time because it was partly my fault and I felt really guilty. Then Jaz went to talk with Jocho, they got along really well and she was able to calm him down. The boys went inside and we stayed outside singing and dancing. We started getting tired so we sat on the floor and watched the stars.

Before noticing I woke up, it was 6am, we had slept there and no one had realized. I woke the girls up, except Mili who was already up, using her phone. We started talking about the night before and our sleep over under the stars, although it was really early and we had gone to sleep really late we had a lot of energy, perhaps because the sleep under the stars is more refreshing. Well we aren't sure but we really believe it's possible. Some minutes later I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and I heard Toia complaining to Alejo about her morning sicknesses through the phone. When she hung up I asked her if she needed something, I had never seen her so tired, not even after 24 hours of work. After that she went back to her room and Sofi went to the bathroom and then got a glass of water and went outside, where we were. Pichu was still sleepy, Jaz wanted to sleep but wasn't tired and Mili and I were like if it were late in the morning. Sofi asked us what we were doing up so early and we told her the whole story. She told me that it was best for me to break up with Marcos at least until the camp ended because if not a lot of boy fights were coming. Although I didn't want to I followed her advice, as soon as he got up I went and broke up with him. He started ignoring me, to a point where he wouldn't even look at me while I did my master class. Sofi realized this and went to talk to him. I don't know what she said but he ignored me in a less rude way than before.

After a few hours they announced an unexpected game. They were creating groups and we had to perform showing our feelings, they would chose the song and group and of course I was with Marcos and Jocho. And we were given Somebody To Love to perform. We practiced and then presented it. Martin filmed everything and then showed it to Marcos to show him how I acted around him.

The song was divided in three, each chose the part they felt more identified with, I had "Got no feel. I got no rhythm. I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing). I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright). I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah). I just gotta get out of this prison cell. One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!" although I had to sing it facing the audience, I sang it to Marcos and Jocho. I wanted to be in a relation with Marcos and be friends with Jocho at the same time, just like before.

After us, Juanma, Pichu and Martín came up. Both boys sorta kinda like Pichu, but it isn't mutual for any of them. When Martín sang his part he sang it directly to Pachu and she seemed a little uncomfortable. Then Pichu sang her part and she had a huge smile and when she sang the boys eyes glowed. After her part Juanma's part came. He was singing in a less direct way to Pichu, she could realize and so did her best friends, but Martín and the rest of the audience didn't.
