Blooming Youth

Disappointments and problems

Arturo has received a gala suit and is now ready to go to Tom's birthday party.
His father offers to take him to the party venue.
Already at the party Arturo sees Elena and Layla at the entrance.
He greets them with:
-Arturo: Hello, girls! How are you?
-Elena: Hello Arturo, you look good, it's been a long time since we've seen you.
-Arturo: That's because Emma has done everything possible to avoid running into me and since you're always with her it's a bit impossible to see you!
Now they both feel bad about the tension between Emma and Arturo.
To break the silence a bit Elena says:
-Elena: But you shouldn't feel bad Arturo, Emma sometimes acts like that, it will go away with time.
-Arturo: Calm down girls I'm fine, although I feel very guilty about Emma, ​​I know she can't stop talking to me forever, if she continues avoiding me I'll go straight to her and ask for forgiveness, it's something I need to do!
-Layla: Changing the subject a bit, the invitation said that Tom would make an important announcement! Does anyone know what that means?
-Elena: I have no idea, but Camila has been very strange since yesterday!
-Arturo: You guys get along really well with Tom, right?
-Layla: Of course we've known him since we were little, he's like an older brother to all of us!
-Elena: But with Camila it's a little different.
-Arturo: Why?

-Elena: Well the truth is that when Camila's parents died in that accident when we were 6 years old! She became very attached to Tom and he was always with her, when she cried, when she laughed, even after the accident there was a time when Camila stopped talking, but thanks to Tom's efforts she got her voice back!
-Layla: For Camila, Tom is like her first love!
Layla's comment hurt Arturo a little, since it was evident that he had started to have feelings for Camila, after she helped him so many times.
-Arturo: Well girls I think it's time to go into the room, what do you think?
-Elena: Okay! Let's go in Layla! It's about time!
Inside the room there was a wonderful decoration, exquisite dishes of the highest class food.
Arturo is excited about the party, Elena insists that he go eat something.
A few minutes later Arturo sees Emma enter the party and sits next to Elena and Layla, but he can't see Camila. When he wants to go talk to Emma, ​​the lights go out.
And from the stairs of the great hall you can see Tom, he took Camila's hand and together they went down the stairs.
When they got down everyone clapped, and began to sing a happy birthday song.
After the song, Tom takes a microphone and says to everyone.
-Tom Smith: Good night everyone, thank you for coming to celebrate my 21st birthday! Don't you know how excited I am to be here surrounded by my closest and dearest friends? You must all be anxious to know what great news brought you here, and who am I to make you wait any longer!
Everyone laughs: LOLOLOLOL.

-Tom Smith: I know that many will not agree with this news! But I want you to know that it is a decision made!
Tom sighs deeply to gain strength and says:
-Tom: I will not inherit my parents' law firm, and I will also stop modeling, I know that many do not understand this decision or at least not at the beginning but I want to create my own path, I do not want to be in the shadow of my family, I want to create my own business and my own future, so in a week I will go to Europe to start my new life, and ....... that's all. Thanks for coming, enjoy the party!
Camila is shocked to hear all this and leaves the room. Tom goes after her.
On the other hand Emma, ​​Layla and Elena are arguing about the news!
-Emma: Tom leaves! (very surprised)
-Elena: Surely that is why Camila has been so strange these last few days! Surely she already knew all this?
-Layla: Gosh, she must be so sad!
Emma sees that Arturo is also going after Camila and says:
-Emma: Don't worry, something tells me he'll have extra company.
-Layla: Are you still mad at Arturo? Gosh, Emma, ​​you can't avoid him forever!
-Emma: So what should I do? I feel very lost, Layla!
-Elena: You should go talk to him and clear things up! You know he didn't have bad intentions, Emma? Damn, he saved your life!
Emma goes after Arturo

Meanwhile Camila and Tom are in a room in the house, Camila looks very sad and Tom seems to be worried about her!
-Tom: My dear Camila! Tell me what's going on?
-Camila: You don't understand! I think I have a curse! All the people I love are leaving me! I thought that I would never lose you?
-Tom: Camila! You don't have to lose me! I'm just going to fulfill my dreams and create a future away from my family! You know better than anyone how I am and what I feel, you know that you are very special to me, you are like a sister!
-Camila (in tears): Don't you see it? I don't want to be like your sister Tom! I love you! You brought me out of the darkness I was in when I was a child! Why can't you understand that my feelings are real?
-Tom: I've known it all this time! And I've never thought that your feelings aren't real! But do you know how people are? They won't understand, they'll judge us!
-Camila: I don't care what people think, I want to be by your side!
After these words Tom kissed Camila, at that very moment Arturo opens the door a little and sees them kissing!
He takes a few steps back and Emma arrives, she notices Arturo's discouraged face so she decides to look through the door and sees Camila and Tom kissing!
Emma instantly understands what's happening and says to him:
-Emma: Arturo, you shouldn't be like that! It's normal that this ended up happening! Camila has been in love with Tom since we were little!
Arturo wants to leave, but Emma stops him.
-Emma: Don't turn your back on me!

Then Emma grabs Arturo's hand to stop him, Arturo turns around and they look straight into each other's eyes, 7 long seconds pass, but the gaze still doesn't stop, it's as if when they look into each other's eyes, the world doesn't exist!
But suddenly Emma cuts her gaze and says:
-Emma: I want to apologize for everything I've done to you since you came to school!
After Emma apologizes to Arturo, Camila and Tom leave the room holding hands.
Tom sees Arturo and says: -Arturo, I'm glad you came, I'm sorry for that surprise!
-Arturo: No! Don't worry! I understand your decision! Each person must make their own path!
-Tom: I see! You're really great! Would you like to go get something to eat with me and Camila?
Emma interferes, takes Arturo's hand and says:
-Emma: In fact Tom we already had plans but thanks for the invitation!
Emma holds Arturo's hand tightly and takes him out of there.
Cut to the scene.//////
Already in a restaurant, Emma brings some sodas and Arturo doesn't stop drinking soda and talking about Camila and Tom.
At one point, Arturo approaches Emma and when it seems that he is going to kiss her, he falls asleep.
-Emma: Ouch! This happens to me when I try to be a good person! But even so, I suppose you were tired! Right, Arturo? You've endured a lot last night!
The next morning, Arturo wakes up in a very comfortable bed, confused, he jumps out of bed and says
-Arturo: This is not my bed!
He wakes up very scared but when he looks around he sees Emma sitting on a piece of furniture at the foot of the bed!
-Emma; Are you awake yet? How nice!
-Arturo: Emma! What am I doing here?
-Emma: This is my house, I brought you last night because you fell asleep out of nowhere and I didn't think it was wise for your family to see you feeling so bad, but don't worry, I called them and told them that you would be staying at my house! For some reason they were happy?
-Arturo: (thinks) Damn parents!
But back to reality, Arturo knows that it's time to face Emma and admit his mistakes!
-Arturo: Emma!
-Emma: Yes! Do you need something?
-Arturo: I have to thank you for getting me out of there last night!
-Emma: It's not necessary, I feel like I owe you a lot for saving my life.
-Arturo: I also wanted to apologize for everything I said at school, I was very angry and anger blinded me!
-Emma: It's not necessary, I understand that you were angry after everything I did to you! But I propose something to you!
-Arturo: Tell me!
-Emma: I propose that we leave the past in the past and forget everything that happened, let's be friends! Do you want to?
-Arturo: I accept, it seems like a great idea!
Arturo and Emma hold hands to seal the deal!
At that moment, the butler Ly arrives in the room and says:
-Butler Ly: Miss Emma, ​​your mother said she will arrive in half an hour.
-Emma; can't it be?
Emma suddenly gets very scared and calls C4:
-Emma: I have serious news, the witch will arrive in half an hour!
-Camila: What's the problem? You're already used to dealing with her!
-Elena: Yes, it's true! Emma, ​​what's wrong?
-Layla: Emma, ​​it's very early, what's the main thing that scares you about this visit from your mother!
-Emma (upset): The problem girls is that Arturo is here in my house!
-The three of them: What? Let's go there.
