The Shapeshifter

Y/n POV:

We follow Alma outside, and on the way, she explains about some things she forgot to mention, and that Mariano, Dolores' boyfriend, would also be joining them at the table.

I sit where Abuela instructs me too, and we were the only ones at the table so far.

"Lunch!" Abuela called. The Madrigals all come out and give us queer looks, except Dolores, who already knew who we were.

Once everyone is sat down, Alma explains. "This is Emma and Lysander! They are new to Encanto, and they were best friends with Julieta, Pepa, and Agustin when they were younger." Pepa gasps and looks their way, fully taking them in.

"Emma!" She squealed. Her cloud started to rain lightly, but it also had a sun over top. Alma gave her a look, and Pepa whispered to her that they would talk later.

"Emma and Lysander also have four children! The oldest, Y/n, is 15," She said pointing to me. "The second child, Luna, 14, the third born, Ryuji, 5, and Inaya, 1." Alma said, pointing to each of them in turn.

Luna gave an awkward wave, and Ryuji gave an enthusiastic wave. "I hope you'll treat them well and be welcoming!"

Antonio and Ryuji hit it off straight away. I looked around nervously, and then looked to my left.

How had I not noticed him before? He was right next to me. He was, maybe, the same age as me. We seemed the same height, and he was looking at me with beautiful hazel eyes.

He had curly hair, and his face showed polite and curious interest as to who I was. He was wearing a yellow ruana, as well as a white top underneath that. Camilo Madrigal, I guessed.

My breathing hitches. He was cuter than I thought he would be. He looks at me admiringly, at least, that's what I thought it looked like. I wasn't completely sure.

I remember my words, but before I can say anything, he sticks out his hand. "Camilo Madrigal. You're very pretty, hermosa." He said while shaking my hand.

I can feel the surprise on my face, and he laughs at my expression. I suddenly feel relieved and at ease hearing his laugh.

Him calling me pretty and hermosa should have weirded me out, but I found I was completely fine with it. I mean, it's not everyday that some cute boy calls me hermosa.

"Hi, I'm Y/n. You're very bold, aren't you?" I ask, laughing. He grins at me. "I would say I am, yeah. But I'm being honest. You're very pretty." He paused. "Now that I think about it, that's really weird." He said apologetically.

I laughed at him. "It's fine." I reassure him. "Mucho gusto." I say. He smiles at me. "It's nice to meet you too." He says.

"What? Can't be bothered to speak Spanish?" I ask. He laughs. "I'm honestly too brain dead and stunned to talk in Spanish right now." He said, laughing.

I laugh too. "Too stunned by what?" I ask curiously. "You." He says simply and shrugs. I look at him surprised. Me? What did he mean by that?

I laugh it off. He laughed too. Once we'd both stopped laughing, we both take a good look at each other.

Our eyes met, just for a second, and I don't know why, but something stirred inside of me.

We were forced to look away from each other when a girl my age came up to me. She had green glasses in, and short dark brown curly hair.

She was wearing a white top with cute designs on it, and the top was tucked into a blue skirt. The skirt also had designs on it.

Most of these designs consisted of butterflies and flowers. "Ok, that's enough flirting Camilo. Hi, I'm Mirabel!" She said, talking to me.

"Oh, um, hi! I assume you already know my name." I say and laugh nervously. She laughed at me. "Yeah, I do. You look like a nice person. Do you wanna hang out sometime? I can show you around Encanto if you want!" She says.

"Oh! That sounds really fun! Yeah, I would actually like that!" I answer her. "I can tell we're going to be great friends!" She says happily.

"Does Wednesday work for you?" She asks me. I nod. "Yeah, Wednesday's fine!" I say. "Don't forget me! I'm coming too!" Camilo interrupted.

We look at him. I honestly completely forgot he was there. Me and Mirabel laughed at him. Camilo was officially joining our hangout.

I had made two friends within the span of two days. I felt excited for the first time in ages, finally I could hang out with kids my age without being afraid to lose them. No more moving was definitely working for me.

Mirabel sits next to me, and me, her and Camilo talk the whole lunch time. We talk about our lives, our opinions on things, and once lunch was over, I felt like we'd become good friends.

We were leaving, and I was saying bye to Mirabel. I got to Camilo, and he grabbed my hand gently and kisses it.

What was going on? I feel my face heat up, and he laughs at me and my red face.

"Adios, hermosa. See you Wednesday!" He said and walked into the house. I stayed there, stunned, but became aware that my family had already started walking down the hill, and I ran quickly to catch up.

"So, I saw you talking to that Camilo boy." Papi said. "Yes, I was." I say. He looked at me. "Y/n-" I cut him off. "Don't worry Papi. He's just a friend. Plus, I made another friend as well. It's a girl," I reassure him.

"Her name's Mirabel. Oh! Can I go on Wednesday to hang out with them?" I ask. "Them? Will that Camilo boy be there?" He asked.

Before I had time to say anything, Mami cut in. Thank goodness. "Lysander, she just met the boy. Nothing will happen. You know her better than that." She said.

My Papi grumbled but he decided to let me go on Wednesday. As long as "nothing intimate happens", as he said. Who does he think I am?
