*There's a knock on I'm bedroom door, and my dad enters without waiting for a response*

Camila, we need to talk.

*i sighs and puts down my book i was reading, bracing myself . I can already feel the tension building, knowing what's coming.*

What is it now, Dad?

*My dad pulls up a chair and sits down, his expression stern. I can tell he's about to lay down the law again.*

Look, I know things have been tense between us lately. But I wanted to sit down and go over some ground rules now that you're home for the summer.

*I rolls my eyes. Of course he did. I was dreading this conversation, knowing my dad was going to pile on more demands and expectations.*

Ugh, of course you did. I knew this was coming.

*My dad holds up a hand to cut me off, his tone brooking no argument.*

First of all, I expect you to help out more around the house. Your stepmom is overwhelmed as it is, so I need you to pitch in with chores, errands, that kind of thing. No more sitting in your room all day.

*I opens my mouth to protest, but my dad continues, this time dropping the bombshell.*

Secondly, I want you to start looking for a part-time job. It's time you start contributing financially instead of just spending my money.

*My eyes widen in disbelief. I can't believe he's springing this on me, after making me come home in the first place.*

What? Are you serious? I didn't even want to come home for the summer in the first place - you made me!

*My dad frowns, unmoved by my objections.*

Well that's too bad, because you're here now. And as long as you're living under my roof, you'll follow my rules. Is that understood?

*I glares at him, crossing my arms defiantly. I feels cornered, I resentment and frustration bubbling to the surface.*

No, it's not understood. This is so unfair! I was happy living with my friends. Now you're just piling on all these stupid chores and requirements?

*My dad sighs in exasperation, clearly at the end of his patience.*

Camila, please try to be reasonable. I'm just trying to teach you some responsibility. You can't keep acting like a spoiled brat.

*I stands up angrily, my face flushed with emotion.*

I'm not a brat! You're the one being unreasonable. I didn't even want to come home, remember? You forced me to!

*My dad stands up as well, his voice raised as the argument escalates.*

That's enough! This conversation is over. You're going to do as I say, end of story. Now go to sleep.

Camila🤪🖕:
Guys, my life is over! I'm done for!

Ferran🤦‍♀️:
Camila, what happened?

Camila🤪🖕:
Oh, he making me get a job like I make more money then him and he told me everything I need to do. Can you believe he called me a spoiled brat?!

Fermin🥸:
What's wrong with your dad? Is he broken?

Camila🤪🖕:
I don't know, but I really want to go home. This place is the worst! And it only the first day

Ale🍺:
We'll miss you. This month is not going to be any fun without you.

Camila🤪🖕:
Right, because I'm the life of the party! Duh. Without me, you'll all probably just sit around and knit sweaters or something equally lame. I'm the glue that holds this dysfunctional group together.

Joao🇵🇹:
Right, and now we can't watch you practice after our training sessions. What will we do for entertainment, I guess I'll have to resort to cat videos on TikTok.

Camila🤪🖕:
Joao, I love you so much! You're so smart, it's like you have a brain the size of a planet. Maybe you can use that big brain of yours to invent a teleportation device to bring me home or wait u kind of did

Pablo🧻:
Lover boy is back, I see. Quick, someone get the drool bucket

Joao🇵🇹:
I know I'm smart, but how am I smart

Camila🤪🖕:
Because I'm only going to be here for two weeks, and then I'm busting out of this joint like a criminal on the run! I'll make a daring escape worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Jude🍆:
I'm so lost. What's happening?

ansu🤢:
Yeah, same. I have no idea what's going on.

Camila🤪🖕:
I'm going to tell my dad I have an emergency practice, and I'm going to tell the coach to send me an email about it. It'll be like a magic trick, just watch me disappear in a puff of glitter and sequins!

gavi🫢👶:
Wait, that's so smart! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, right, because I'm still learning how to tie my shoelaces without help.

Camila🤪🖕:
I'll be home in no time, just you wait and see! I'll bring back the party

pedri 🇮🇨 🥵:
Well, let's hope it works.

Joao🇵🇹:
It will work, because I threw a spell on her dad I'm a wizard, you know. Just call me Harry Joao Felix , the greatest illusionist of our time.

Jude🍆:
I can't with you sometimes, Joao. You're too much, like a hyper-active puppy on a sugar high that's been let loose in a candy factory.
