A/N: Hello, the author's here. This book is kind of discontinued, so I'd like to give one last chapter before the ending to make sense somehow. :')

Ever since that meeting in the dahlia field, you've encountered many events from the history of Elvaro betraying Camilo for still unknown reasons while Elvaro was trying to pursue you. It was overwhelming, and Elvaro was just feisty, which made Camilo mad, too. And there's been intense tension between them.

The prom tonight has been going on as you listened and enjoyed the place while the emcee beamed up everyone, including your schoolmates, so Camilo was here as well, and unfortunately, Elvaro. You three were at different tables.

Camilo would occasionally check on you from a distance if Elvaro tried to approach you. You knew something was off about Camilo being protective of you. And you were starting to think about it. Yes, you two were friends, but it seemed the love he felt for you was more than that.

Then, a few moments later, one of the parts of the event that everyone was waiting for has finally come: the dance with your partners, and even along with those love songs echoing in the place. How amazing was that?

You weren't interested in dancing with someone now, so you wanted to just watch. However, these two wouldn't give up.

"(Y/N), may we dance?" You heard two voices either side of you from behind. It was them. Camilo and Elvaro They looked like rivals in this case.

The two of them built tension again, and it was an uneasy feeling for you. It's always happened whenever you're around and when they try to make their moves.

It was a moment of silence as they waited for your answer to who you would like to dance with. You didn't want to appear rude or mean on either side, and of course, you would choose Camilo, but you thought they might fight again because of it. You remember how Camilo told Elvaro to leave you alone, and there he was, starting the fight and sparring.

Your heart was beating rapidly, and it seemed like your mind was deciding on the hardest decision you've ever had in your life. Mirabel noticed your discomfort. She knew how you were feeling when these two boys were fighting over you. So, she made her way on you to somehow save you, and she cleared her throat as if she was about to do something.

"Actually, señorita," Mirabel interrupted as she changed her tone into something deep and kind of romantic, as if she was trying to be playful and manly, "I'm the finest fellow of us, so may I have your hand and dance with this song tonight?" she continued with her so trying romantic tone of her as she extended her hand to you, and this made you smile a bit when you noticed her voice changed in a funny way. It was giggling you deep inside, and you knew she was your bestie.

"Mirabel!" Camilo and Elvaro scowled and sized her up, and this made Mirabel look at them.

"What?" Mirabel inquired, returning to her original tone of voice.

"Get off," Elvaro blurted it out as he was still glaring at her. He was disturbed, and it annoyed him. Mirabel just rolled her eyes playfully. There it was―your uneasiness came back again. You hope it wasn't what you were thinking.

"Oh, bueno. I've got this." Camilo smirked, and before you could react, he was holding your hand.

"Cami?" you raised an eyebrow.

"Let's dance, por favor?" Camilo pleaded. You could feel his grasp on you being gentle and soft, as if you were too precious to break, and that was disrupted when Elvaro snapped and punched him. This was surprising, and even Mirabel's jaw dropped.

"Oye, Elvaro. ¡Para!" Mirabel exclaimed as she tried to go near them while they were punching and kicking, but she was also distancing herself to prevent being hurt. She couldn't believe how serious this was, and she thought Elvaro really had to handle his anger issues.

This caught the attention of the rest of the people in the prom, and they were shocked as well while the others approached them to stop them. You felt exhausted by this repeated mess. Why won't they get along already and stop the nonsense rivalry stuff? It was frustrating that you went out. You didn't care if someone needed to notice you. You just need space.
