Bang bang bang.
I groaned and covered my head with my pillow. "Y/N get up!"

My brother said shaking me. "Fine, I'm up I'm up," Daniel got off and opened my curtains. I hissed and hid under my covers.

"No up now I know you," He ripped off my covers and walked out the door leaving it wide open. I got up and walked to the door looking at my brother walking with my cover. "You as- hola papa,"

My papa smiled and kissed my head. "Buenos Dias hija," I smiled and hugged him. My papa and mama own a bakery me and my brother help a bit.

I walked back into my room and brushed my hair. "Hey remember to meet us at the bakery okay?" My brother walked in wearing black pants a white button-up with his sleeves rolled up.

"Yeah yeah I know," pulling my long curly hair in a ponytail. He looked at himself in the mirror and ran his finger throw his hair.

His hair was a curly fringe kinda style. "Go wash your hands and put on your apron fool," I push him out of my room.

"If I don't see you in ten minutes I'm coming back with a bucket of water." He yelled and I heard footsteps going downstairs.

I put on a white shirt and black pants. I don't care if people don't like girls wearing pants.

"Now to get my apron," I mutter walking downstairs grabbing my apron, and walking outside.

I see all the madrigals walking out of their house helping people while Mirabel sang with a group of kids. "Hola Luisa," I wave as she lifts some donkeys on her shoulder.

"Hi Y/N" I ignore all the women whispering and giving me nasty looks. "Hi Isabela, wonderful flowers," She smiles and waves her hand making flowers go in my hair.

I look up at the building in front of me that has a sign that says Ramirez bakery. "Time for work,"

I say putting on my apron as I walk in. "There you are hija have some breakfast," My mom puts a plate on one of the tables and kisses my head. "Thanks, mama" I quickly eat my concha.

"Hola Y/N," Julieta says giving me a hug. "Hi Julieta," I clean off the table and wash my plate. "Y/n can you flip the sign so it says open," My brother asks helping everyone in the back make pan dulce.

I flip the sign and wait for people to order. I hear the door open and I greet them cheerful like I'm supposed to. "Welcome to the Ramirez bakery what can I do for you?"

The boy smiled and looked at all the bread on display. "A slice of tres leches please," I nodded and took out a slice. "Anything else?"

He smirks, "Yeah you," I sigh and try to hide my blush. "Really Camilo?" Camilo changed back and laughed. "It was worth a shot,"

I smile and pass him his cake. "How much will that be Hermosa," He smiles that one smile that gives me butterflies. "On the house,"

I say giving him the cake. "Really?" I nod and wave to the other customers who just walked in.

"Too kind," He leans over the counter and kisses my cheek. I blush as he starts to walk away. "See you later Mi Vida,"

I laugh a bit and wait for people to order. "Boo," I jump and get ready to punch someone.

"You are so easy to scare," My brother says between laughs. I punch his arm and he groans. "You suck,"

I say feeling him put his arm on my head. "I'm ready to order," A small family gives their order and I start to hand them their food.

"So you and Camilo huh?" My brother teases. The family gives me the money and sits at one of our tables. "What about me and Camilo,"

I ask making a coffee. "That you have a huge crush on him," He says smirking and following me around.

I walked to their table and placed the coffee down. "Here's your coffee sir," "You're not denying it,"

He points out pocking my cheek. "Nor am I confirming it," I wipe down counters and he grabs a broom.

"And you are 18 and you haven't dated anyone or told me about any guys, and I need some tea."

He had a point he always told me about his crushes. "Maybe because I haven't found anyone who catches my eye," I say handing him a dustpan.

"Except for a certain guy with a name that starts with C,"

I smile thinking about my best friend. "Camilo is my best friend Daniel," He throws away the dirt away and washes his hands.

"Ugh your no fun," He walks in the back and brings fresh bread to the display case.

"Oh hi Y/N" Dolores walks in with a smile on her face. "Oh hey, Dolores what can I get you?" I ask doing a little wave. "Just a cup of coffee and empanada de Fruta,"

I nod. "For hear or to go?" She leans to the right and looks like she's listening to someone. "To go please," I place an empanada in a small box.

"There you go have a good day," I say as she handed me money and left the shop. I turn around to put the money away but Mirabel comes running in and hides under the counter.

"Mirabel what are-" the door opens a whole group of kids ran in. "Wheres Mirabel?" A boy asks with a cup of black coffee in his hand.

"Umm," I look at Mirabel and she shook her head. "I don't know," I lean over to take the cup of coffee away and I see a couple of them with cuts. "Were you guys running in the bushes?"

I ask as they all look down guilty. "Take a seat ill be back," The kid's sat all around the tables and started talking. I motioned Mirabel over to the back.

"Time to make your big escape," I whisper and opened the back door. "Thank Y/N," I give her a hi-five and she leaves.

"Ok aqua fresca or horchata kids." All of them want some aqua Fresca, and Y/N gets some bread Julieta made and put some on plates.

"Can you get some cups with aqua Fresca for the kids please," I ask my brother who was drooling over some girl. "Sure,"

He quickly poured 6 cups and placed them on the counter. "Here eat up," I say passing food to the kids and they all ate quietly.

From the corner of my eyes, I see Mirabel walking covered in flowers and she spat one out. I tried to get her attention while giving the kids their drinks.

"Guys Mirabel is over there!" The kids that had the coffee yelled grabbing his cup and running out. The rest of the kids also grabbed their cups and ran after Mirabel.

Once she turned around to see the pack of kids running after her she started to run with a smile on her face. "Well she's having a good time,"  I say laughing a bit.

"Umm Y/N help," My brother says pointing at the tables then I looked at the huge line of people who were hurt from a day's work.

I Quickly grab a big tray and start putting all the plates and crumbs. "Sorry for the wait guys," I say with a small smile as I clean all the tables and bring them to the back.

I place them next to the sink and bring new pasties to the display since they were all being sold.

I hear the dishes getting washed at the water running. "No I got it don't-" I turn around to see the dishes washing themselves.

I walk to them and watch as they wash. "Umm Y/N everything good?" Mama asks causing the dishes to stop moving. "Yeah just washing the dishes,"

I quickly grab one of the dishes and start scrubbing. Mama nodded and went back to the oven. "How did you do that?"

I ask the plates as I bring them to the front. "Are you talking to the plates," I froze.
