chapter. 3 - nerve wrecking guests

(/^-^(^ ^*)/

Maybe things have gone over the bend today. Y/N had just discovered that her family was gonna have dinner somewhere.

By somewhere, it's the Madrigals' house.

She has been thinking about it the whole day, pacing back and forth and practicing random lines in front of the mirror while her dog Chrysalis just tilted her head as she watched her owner.

5 PM and she was in bed covered in her own sweat as she thought of the possible bad scenarios that can happen over and over again.

After what seemed like hours she heard a knock from the door so she went up and knocked back. This was her way of telling the person that they are allowed to come in without speaking. Her father's head popped into the doorway.

" You've been in there since lunch. Are you okay?"

Y/N nodded.

" Hmm. Okay then corazon. Get ready though."

The door closed shut, and Y/N suddenly felt a surge of weakness flow from her body making her collapse on her bed. It was only then she realized she was burning hot. Now where did this fever come from?

She looked at the mirror. Baggy eyes, tired expression and pale skin. Before she could hide heard another knock, and in came her mother. " Hello my beautiful sunshi-! Oh!"

She dropped the clothes she was carrying and looked at her daughter's face, visibly concerned. " Hon....you look like a wreck." She placed a hand on Y/N's forehead. Burning. " Oh dear. It seems you have a light fever. Did you dip yourself in cold water yesterday?". Actually yesterday while she was jogging up to the Madrigals house to catch up to Mirabel, she was pretty sweaty. And Isa's hideout was kinda of windy while she and Mira were there.

" I... don't know." the words came out of Y/N's mouth while she watched M/N sigh.
" I don't think you'll be able to eat in this condition. But at the same time the guests will be confused...tsk." taking out a towel from a drawer she made her way out of the door. " I'll get you warm water and blankets, you stay there."

Once again, the door shut, leaving Y/N depressingly groaning into her mattress. She was looking forward to today so badly because she gets to see Mirabel again. Having your first friend in 15 years is something to look forward to and she has ruined it for herself. M/N eventually came back with a mug of soup and a towel with a bowl of warm water. " Mom..." Y/N started as her mom place the towel into the bowl.

" Yes Y/N?"
" .. I...want to attend dinner...."

M/N paused what she was doing, flashing the teen with one of her grins. " Ah. You actually want to come to dinner with guests?". Y/N shyly bobbed her head up and down. " Mirabel is my friend."

" Hmm...well you might infect them with all that snot and sore throat you have though-"
" Uhm madam?"

M/N was interrupted by Cecille's voice at the doorway, who was holding up the clothes the mother dropped earlier. " Sorry for interjecting-" M/N raised a hand. " It's alright Cecille, continue." Cecille cleared her throat. " One of the Madrigals has the ability to heal the sick and crippled with food. I was hoping maybe she'd help?" The woman clapped her hands, placing her palms into Y/N's shoulders afterwards.

" That's a great idea! Okay! Go change and we'll be there by PM!"
" But..but mama-"
" I picked a great fit for you by the way~ Ah I really like how any color looks great on you!"

This is the part when Y/N knew her mother is now lost in her own world. Whenever she is she doesn't listen to her, sadly.
