"party."
Before you knew it, a whole hour passed. "And so-" Camilo's extravagant tale was cut off by the sound of Mirabel's voice. "Camilo! Y/N! Come out! The party's starting!" That must be your cue to figure out where your mother was. You gave an awkward smile to the boy across you. "I should go look for my mom now."
Camilo nodded. "Sure thing. Want me to help?" He was so nice. "Thanks but no, I'm sure you have your own chores to attend to, right?" His lips stretched into a mischievous grin. "Not unless I'm not me." Before your eyes you saw his grin turn into yours, acne and all.
"Right, shapeshifter, forgot about the whole magic thing." You laughed. You, no, CAMILO, got up and spun around with a flourish. "This dress is nice. Fits you perfectly." Your face heated up at that. He thought you looked nice in it? "So, come on. Let's go find your mom."
After a while, you found her happily trading recipes with Julieta. "Mama!" You hugged her from behind. "There you are, mi corazón!" She gave a warm smile. Julieta laughed. "Your daughter reminds me of mine. Well, I should attend to the food for the party." Your mother ruffled your hair a little, earning a squawk from you. "Mom, do you know where to go for later? Abuela Alma will be spotlighting us for later, right?" She thought for a bit. "I think we can just stand wherever."
You made a sound of acknowledgment. "Y/N!" You turned around to see.. Yourself? Oh wait! Camilo! He stumbled over his own feet for a moment, shifting back into himself and then falling into your arms. What a cliche moment, but since it happened to you.. It felt different.
"Looks like someone made a friend." You heard your mother say. She giggled. You blushed in embarrassment. "Mom!"
Camilo righted himself in one swift motion. "Sorry!" He was laughing a lot for some reason. "I just wanted to.." He then looked to the side, noticing your mother.
"Is this your mom?" You nodded. "Yeah, she's my mom." Your mother didn't hesitate to swoop in and snatch him. She was notorious for exposing you as a baby to any new friends you had. "Hello! You can drop the formalities with me. Just call me Lola!" She eagerly pulled out an album from her bag. You knew where this was going.
"Mama! Why do you keep carrying that around!" You swatted at her. Camilo laughed. "I don't mind. Lola, nice to meet you. I'm Camilo, Y/N's boy— I mean best friend." You didn't catch what he mumbled. But wow, best friend after an hour of talking? This guy definitely has a ton of best friends in that case.
"You're so adorable! You know, I—" She and Camilo began speaking in a flurry. You couldn't catch a single thing they said. Instead, you were pulled away by Mirabel, who was about to say something when—
"Welcome to La Casa Madrigal! Let us honor our newcomers to the village as part of our big family!" That was Abuela Alma. You saw spotlights shine on you and your mother. The two of you awkwardly smiled and waved. Well, by two you meant just you. Your mother was ecstatic at the attention.
"Enjoy the party!"
