Pepa smiled while walking to the table and sitting back down on her chair.
"Camilo will be downstairs soon! Everyone please try to be nice."

"Only if he doesnt start any problems" Abuela said.

Pepa looked at Abuela, annoyed, and a cloud appeared, starting to thunder for a moment but Félix calmed her down.

"Hey, why hasn't cam been outside of his room in a long time? No one told me." Antonio said and looked around at everyone at the table.

"Well- hes been- uhm.. he just got in trouble so he was told to stay in his room for a little bit" Mirabel said, struggling to find the right words for antonio to understand without worrying.

"Why was he in trouble?" Antonio asked

"Well- uhm-" mirabel didnt know what to say and she turned her head to Pepa "Tía Pepa, you tell him."

"Its just that your brother- Accidentally got hurt while doing something dangerous, That's all." Pepa said, trying to make it sound believable enough for antonio.

"Oh, okay!" Antonio said.

Everyone heard footsteps and saw Camilo walking downstairs.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" Camilo looked around, then sat down in his spot at the table.

"No reason, sorry for staring." Mirabel said.

"Its okay, i get it. Sort of weird seeing me outside of my room right now, Isnt it." Camilo sighed.

"Yeah, but hey! At least your here!" Mirabel smiled.

"Is it alright if I go get water from the kitchen?" Camilo said, standing out of his chair.

"Of course you can, dont take to long or your food will get cold." Mirabel said jokingly while pointing to the plate of arepas that where in front of Camilo's seat.

"Alright, I'll be back in a minute!" Camilo said, walking to the kitchen.

{{After A Few Minutes}}

"I'm back, sorry I took long" Camilo said, and mirabel finding it odd that for some reason Camilo didnt have any water with him.

"I'm gonna go to my room, I'm tired." Camilo said, walking up the stairs

"Wait, Cam?" Mirabel wanted to say but was cut off by Abuela.

"How rude, he finally comes downstairs and doesnt even want to spend a lot of time with us?! and he didnt even touch his food!" Abuela said in an ironically rude tone.
