Bet | Camilo M.

04: Party pooper

"Okay, okay, what's going on?" I asked once we all reached Isabela's room. I was mesmerized by the flowers all over, even in the floor. Her room smells nice too.

"Y/n..." Isabela says, grabbing my attention.

"Hmm?" I hummed.

They looked at each other first and then looked at me with wide grin on their faces. "Do you like Camilo??" they asked which made me kinda freaked out. 

"W-wait what? no. I think y'all got the wrong idea." I swear my face was heating up this time.

I faced Dolores who was already looking at me. "I hear your heart beat racing y/n." she smirked.

Gosh, what do I do? should I just ran over to the door and escape? should I just remain silent? 

"Come on y/n, we're waiting." Mirabel teases.

I gulped real hard. "I told you guys, no. We're just friends, he's just being annoying and all." I let out an awkward laugh. They all looked at me unsatisfied with my answer. I sighed. "Okay, I know you guys are expecting me to say yes but... no. I don't even know if he feels the same way. Who knows? maybe he's just playing with me, like what he usually do?"

Their eyes were only at me, I feel like I could just melt anytime. "Okay, I'm out!" I said and tried to run away but Isabela's vine caught me.

The vines were a bit tight as I tried to move, Isabela seemed too notice it since I felt the vines loosen a bit. I looked at them with a deadpan look.

"Y/n we're only asking you if you like Camilo cause we know that he likes you." Dolores says, well, more like whispered. 

"What? how do you guys know that he means it?" 

"Because we see how he looks at you, how he acts different around you. I know he can be annoying sometimes but I guess that's just how he shows his affection." Mirabel smiled. 

I really wanted to believe all of those, but there's a part of me that doesn't want to. 

"Tell us Y/n, what do you think of Camilo?" Luisa asks. Isabela finally lets go of me. I breathe in a lot of air as I felt free from the vines again.

I sat on the bed between Dolores and Isabela while Mirabel and Luisa are sitting on the floor filled with flowers. They all looked at me. 

I cleared my throat. "Well, I can say he's attractive and annoying at the same time. He's sweet and caring. He can also be cute too sometimes." Mirabel looked at me with suspicious grin. "Fine, always." I rolled my eyes and they giggled.

"So, what's holding you back?" Isabela asked. 

"I don't know. I mean, I do like him, as a friend but... more than friend?...  I just hope you guys are right about him." I sighed. Dolores spread her arms and I immediately hugged her.

Someone's POV

I let out a heavy sigh as I get up from my bed. I quietly went to slightly open the door. There were people downstairs and loud music too. Then I remembered it was Luisa's birthday today. It's not like I care that much.

I smirked and an idea came up my mind. I checked to see and noticed that Camilo wasn't there. I shapeshifted into him and went out from the room then I saw Antonio with his pet animals. A toucan in his shoulder while he was holding his stick insect..

"Hey Antonio, wanna play some games?" he looked at me confused. But slowly nodded.

"Sure. What do you wanna play?" I smiled and told him what we were gonna play but we head to his room first. 

It's been a long time since I last visited or actually came out from that room. "Okay, so when the music stop you stop dancing and when the music plays you start dancing again. Got it?" he nodded his head and I began to play the music. 

We were both dancing but I was making sure that I win every time. Then it was my turn again and he started the music, I was watching him the whole time to see if ever he's gonna stop the music.

A few moments more the music stopped and I froze but then I lost my balance and I stumble down the floor. I hit my hand on the floor then I heard a sound of a stick cracking.

"Shit." I mumbled when I saw Antonio's stick insect, which is now dead by the way. I looked up to see Antonio crying then went out of his own room crying. "Antonio wait!" I shouted.

I got up and went outside leaving the dead stick insect laying on the floor. I saw Antonio ran to where Mami is. "Oh shoot."

Oh well, I can just go back inside the room quietly and Camilo will take the blame for me. Antonio saw me in Camilo's form anyway. I thought. 

I started to run quietly back into my room when I suddenly bumped into someone. I looked down to see a girl sitting on the floor.

Y/n's POV

"Hey guys, I have to go out for a while to check if my family is looking for me." I excused myself out and closed the door behind once I got out of Isabela's room.

Finally I get to calm myself down after hundreds of questions they asked. I was about to take another step but then someone crashed me to the floor before I could.

I looked up to see Camilo. He helped me up and I stared at him for a while. "Camilo, where did you come from? and... why are you running?" I asked.

"I'm sorry hermosa, but I don't have the time to talk. I gotta go, bye!" and with that he ran to his room and slowly shut the door.

"That was weird." I mumbled to myself before deciding to go downstairs were the crowd was. The music was still going on. I searched here and there to look for my family but I failed, so I decided to ask Julieta.

"Uh, Julieta have you seen my mom and dad?"

"Oh, Y/n I saw them came home but your brother and sister is still here. Maybe they're at the kitchen." I nodded and thanked her. I walked to the kitchen and saw Cleo talking to... Camilo? 

"Oh, hi Y/n. Why do you look surprised?" Cleo asked.

"Is it your first time seeing two handsome boys talking to each other?' Camilo added. I answered none of their questions and went to Camilo.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

He tilted his head. "What do you mean Hermosa?" 

"I literally saw you just a few minutes ago heading to your room! did you teleport or something?"  they both looked at me as if they were seeing a crazy woman.

He was about to say something but then I heard his mom, Pepa, shouting. "Camilo Madrigal!!"
