Y/n POV

"That's amazing Y/n" Pepa says and I smile
"Gracias Señora" The rest of the day goes by quickly, mostly getting to know everyone and their gifts. I have to admit I feel bad and envy Mirabel, I feel bad that she doesn't have a gift and still lives in the nursery but she also doesn't have that expectation that everyone with gifts has. I sit on my bed and put my hair in two braids. Mateo looks like the dead. I change into my pajamas, shorts and a sweatshirt and my leg spasms. I groan and he chuckles

"Want me to come?" He asks

"No, I'll be okay, get some sleep. I'll be back in twenty minutes" I say and sneak out of our room. I'm walking down the stairs when a door closes and footsteps come towards me. I continue walking, I'm not doing anything wrong. Camilo turns the corner and eyes me

"Why are you up?"

"Couldn't sleep" my arm spasms "I have to shift for a bit, I get twitchy" and he laughs

"Can I come?" He asks and I nod as we sneak out of the Madrigal casa and into their garden. I shift into a cat and run around the flower beds. He sits on the grass watching me, he's wearing sweatpants and a tank top, his curly hair is in a bun and he leans back. His olive eyes watching every step I take, full of curiosity and something else. I walk up to him and rub against his leg, he gently scratches behind my ear and chuckles.

"Your gift is so cool" he says, his voice a bit raspy and my stomach flutters. I shift back, I'm basically on his lap and I sit beside him. My cheeks heat and I look at the stars
"Cooler than yours?" I ask and he scoffs
"No"
"Can you fly?" He asks
"Yes"
"Can you breathe underwater?"
"Yes"
"Can you dig underground?"
"Yes, Camilo I can do anything that animal does" I say and look at him. His eyes glint with michevness
"So you can breathe in water?"

"Yes, why?" I ask slowly and he smirks

"No reason" He lays down. I don't believe him but alright.

"Okay" I say and look up
He pulls me down by my shoulders and I look at him, his face is mature yet childish. His nose is wide but in a cute way, he has a thin top lip and a heavier bottom lip. He has very faint freckles scattered all over his face. He makes me nervous and I love it.

"So you don't hurt your neck" he says quietly and I look at the sky. It's a cold and clear night. I yawn and sit up

"I should get back to bed" He nods and helps me up. His hands are soft and warm, not in a weird way but a comforting way, like if I were cold I would ask him to warm up my hands. We walk inside and stop at my door "Goodnight"
"Buenas noches Camilo" I say and slip into my room. Mateo is fast asleep and I lay under the covers and turn towards the wall. I fall asleep easily.
