i got home when i heard arguing coming from my parents room. i heard abuela and mami.
"mama, you cant do this to y/n!"
"it's for the reputation, he is a good boy and y/n is already making us look bad with her personality, we must"
i just walked away, not wanting to hear any more. i dont know what's happening but i dont't like what it sounds like. i just go upstairs and look for a dress to wear. my mama knocks on my door a few minutes later
"y/n, mija, wear something nice tonight please"
"okay mami"
she then walked out looking a little upset. it must've been because of abuela. i never liked my abuela, she never liked me. she always forced us to be a cheerful, happy family and role models for the encanto but it's not always that easy, especially when we argue like this sometimes. she is good friends with señora alma, but i only think that my abuela sucks up to her to be honest. i sigh, coming out of my thoughts and find a nice brown dress that had cute little ruffles at the end of it. it went to my ankles and off my shoulders. it was really cute and simple. i go and put some shoes on and by the time i'm done, its time to go,
"Y/N GET DOWN HERE WE HAVE TO GO NOW"
i hear abuela
"COMING ABUELAA"
i walk down and see my parents dressed oddly nice. my dad was even wearing somewhat of a suit. i wonder why. we make our way to la casa madrigal and i see camilo greeting everyone.
"hola señora y senor" he says to my parents shaking their hand. they smile brightly and he greets abuela just to get ignored. i rolled my eyes at her and say hi to camilo
"hola pendejo, whats up"
"hola bonita, what's with the new nickname?" he says patting my head
"dunno just thought it fit you" i said half smiling. i take his hand off my head and walk into casita. my mom and dad were already talking to señora pepa and señor félix about something. they looked shocked for some reason. hm. i go and look for mirabel and she's no where to be seen. i just stand next to my mom awkwardly, deep in my thoughts again, until i was snapped out of it by señora pepa,
"y/n, can you please get camilo into that room there?"
"of course señora" i smiled, she smiled back and quickly made her way to the room.  i walk over to camilo and tap on his shoulder.
"yo- oh hey bonita!" he says cheerfully "i thought you hated me, guess you cant get enough of me, can you hermosa?"  he smirks
"no that's not it" his smirk fades and mine grows
"i was just here because your mama wants me to take you over to that room over there, antonio is about to walk out" i say, pointing to the curtains,
"oh okay lets go" he grabs my wrist and we go inside.
"y/n! you made it!" antonio exclaims, hugging me tightly
"of course antonio! i wouldn't miss anything for my favourite boy!"
canilo then interrupts us by whining
"i thought i was your favourite boy!"
"you wish!" everyone starts laughing and wishing goodluck to antonio
"abuela says, its time" dolores says, quoting señora alma's words. we all leave except mirabel, who stands on the side. i gave her a quick hug and rushed out again, standing by camilos side. he put his hand on my shoulder nervously and squeezed it. i let him go with this action, only because he was probably doing it unconciously and he was also very nervous. i look up over to abuela who is giving a whole ass speech about encanto,, 50 years ago,, candle,, blah blah blah. i couldnt stand the blabber of that woman. i zoned out for the rest of the speech then came back when i felt another squeeze from camilo. i look at him worried and then look over to antonio, just standing still. he looks into my eyes and i nod my head over to the stairs. he then looks down and looks to the side, where mirabel is. he held up his hand for her to grab
"i cant!" mirabel protested quietly
"i need you" he whispered
she then gave in to his little puppy eyes and walked over next to him. i couldnt help but notice all the judgemental glances mirabel got as soon as she walked towards the stairs with antonio. i wanted to set everyone who was staring at mirabel with distate on fire with my glare. i dont understand how people could be so judging to a 15 year old girl. i sighed and looked over to mirabel letting go of mirabel's hand and antonio looking at abuela,
"antonio, will you use this gift to help with the people of the town and honour your family?" (i have no idea what the words are)
antonio just nods and lets the candle go nervously. i bite my lip and watch antonio approach the door. his hand reached the doorknob and.. there was golden lighting everywhere. antonio's door started being carved while everyone sighed in relief. it turns out antonio's gift was an animal whisperer. it seems i chose the right gift! i smiled at my thought and walked up to his room with camilo. his room was enormous. he even put on a little show for us with his leopard, showcasing the entire room. after that the family took a picture, leaving mirabel out. i really wanted to follow her out and comfort her, but i thought it woild be better if i give her a little bit of space first. i sit down, looking a little sad when suddenly i feel a presence above me
"hola bonita, you up for a dance?" he asked with a big grin
"you know i cant dance for shit pendejo, i tripped last time we danced"
"oh yeah that was funny as hell" he smirked "but still, come on, i'll make sure you dont trip"
i sigh and nod. he goes to grab my hand until his abuela came over and pulled him away
"oh no you don't, camilo" she glared at me while i just stared at her blankly "come meet valentina instead" she said smiling at him and he brought her to this snobby but very pretty girl. she also glared at me and then smiled at camilo. damn what's up with everybody and glaring today. he looked at me nervously and valentina grabbed his chin and turned him to face her. ew. my abuela then came.
"ah! y/n! i want you to meet alexander"
"hola hermosa, i am alexander" he said with a weird tone. i think he was forcing his voice.
"uh hi i'm y/n, um dont call me hermosa"
"why dont you two dance?!" my abuela said, pushing us onto the dance floor, then meeting back with señora alma. the two stared at me in awe, then camilo. what are they trying to do.
