"Cami, shouldn't you be out and about doing chores?"  'I should- can you clean my room and I'll work on everything else' I walk out of my room and grab cleaning supplies I sweep and mop oh and wash the windows it's boring but better than nothing I wash the table I clean up the kitchen as well- it was not fun at all. the casita looks amazing and everyone comes home while I put up the cleaning supplies well- I thought everyone came in but it was just Dolores "Camilo? Do you want to tell everyone about Meto?" 'No' "They have to know and Meto is coming again and staying to dinner so are you sure, if you just told them then they would do something about it."

I sigh before putting my head down 'I don't know I just- I don't want people to see me differently as some dumb little kid who needs to be protected-' "They won't see you as that just not some shapeshifter who doesn't have feelings they will see you as someone who has feelings and has gone through pain-" 'I don't want people to see my like that they need to know that I am someone  without a care in the world!'  "That sets a bad example for Antiono and the kids you babysit- it's lunchtime" 

The doors bust open with everyone sitting down talking and laughing I sit with them as well- and then theirs Meto who sits right next to me hooray!! I. hate it.  and I hate life. I put on a smile and start talking doesn't take long before Dolores gives me a look telling me I should tell them I shake my head no and talk to everyone at the table "Camilo how are you? I didn't see you today at the town" 'I was cleaning up the Castia for the day Meto' "Oh well that's nice" Meto smiles at me before Isa takes his attention away from me thankfully and talks to him. Lunch ended and chores started but Meto doesn't leave he followed me around talking to me and trying to make it seem like we were friends "Camilo I wanted to ask if you wanted to go out of town with me and look at the shops and stuff!" 'Sure I don't mind I say smiling trying to not yell at him we walk into the town we talk and I make sure to keep my distance but he doesn't care he knows I'm uncomfortable but does he care? Not at all the sun starts to set and we walk home like what he did to me never happened almost as if he wants to try and trick me into trusting him
