Camilo's POV
Today, I decided to visit Y/n in their house. Since the incident that happened last night, I never got to sleep well. Especially now that Carlos seemed to be interested in her too. 
I tried to talk to him last night about it, which didn't turn out well and we ended up grabbing each others hair. Then Dolores came barging in our room, complaining how noisy we were and threatened us to tell mami if we don't stop fighting.
And so we stopped. 
But it won't end that easily.
Also because I've agreed on a bet with Dolores and Mirabel.

I look into the mirror once more before finally going out of my room. My eyes were still heavy and my body felt tired. I walked downstairs and was about to exit the house when Mirabel suddenly came out of nowhere.
"Hey! Camilo! wait!" I immediately halted.
"Why? what's wrong?" I asked as I watch her catch her breath.
"I asked you to buy me some yarn earlier, where is it?" she says and held out her hand.
I looked at her with crossed eyebrows. "I literally just woke up, I don't know what you're talking about." 
"Camilo, I've no time for your pranks. Give me my yarn." 
"I told you I just got up from bed. I never got out from the house I--" I paused I rubbed my fingers on my chin. She said she saw me earlier which is weird because I just woke up, unless... unless it was someone else dressed up as me!
"Uh, Camilo! Earth to Camilo!" she shouted, waving her hand at my face.
I looked at her and she gave me a deadpan look, still holding out her hand waiting for me to give her the yarn she was asking.
"Well?" she asks.
"I... gotta go." I said and ran outside of casita. 
"Camilo! come back here you little piece of-- " she stopped mid sentence when she stumbled on a rock. I laughed out loud and continued running until I reached Y/n's house.
I stopped and held my knees, panting. I fixed myself first before knocking on the door which immediately opened. I saw y/n's dad looking at me, giving me a confused look.
"Camilo?" he spoke, I gave him a smile and took a peek inside of their house. 
"Buenos días señor, is y/n here?" I asked. He seemed really confused about my question.
"Uh, I thought you were with her?" he says.
I really don't know what he was saying so I just laughed awkwardly. "Oh, yeah right. Silly me." I scratched the back of my head and think of an excuse. "We were actually playing hide and seek, that's why I went here to ask if she's inside...?"
The weather isn't very hot but I was sweating, this is embarrassing. 
He let out a soft laugh. "I thought y/n was missing, I was worried for a moment. She isn't here though." I nodded and thanked him before saying goodbye. 
I walked my way into the town market where I was greeted by a bunch of kids. "Camilo!" they all said in unison and ran to me with wide smile on their faces. 
"Tell us the story yesterday, you said you would finish it today." Anita said while tugging my ruana. 
I kneel down to their level. "I can't today, I have to find someone." I said and their faces turned into sad ones.
"Can you tell us the story first, please?" another said with his puppy eyes. I looked at them and awkwardly laughed while scratching the back of my head.
I still have the whole day to find y/n though. I thought.
I looked at them and they were still waiting for my answer. "Alright," I said, giving up, they immediately smiled. "But promise me you won't bother me after this, alright?" they all nodded their head and I stood up preparing myself for another story to tell.
Well, what can I do? Entertaining people is my job.
Y/n's POV
Carlos and I have been talking for a while up until now. He was asking me to tell about myself, at first I was hesitant but then I ended up telling a lot.
He was a good listener too, while I was talking he was just staring at me the whole time. I found it a bit hard to make him laugh though but it soon showed after a few jokes.
And now its his turn to tell. He started off telling about himself, his personality and how he hates people thinking that he's always glaring at them. I feel bad for him about it.
Then he started talking about how he and Camilo would often fight, even about the smallest things. Most of them are about food though.
"and so we were grounded for like 2 days. We were only 8 years old that time so it was like torture for us." he says throwing a hand in the air. We both laughed.
"Shh!!" the librarian shushed us. "I gave you my last warning, another loud noise and you'll be banned to come here again." she said strictly, giving us a glare. 
I looked at back Carlos who was holding his laugh. "We really should get out of this place." he whispered. I nodded and he grabbed me by the hand as we walked out of the library.
Once we were outside, he finally let go of my hand. We both stared at each other for a while. I'm still curious though why he's covering his other eye with his hair, so I decided to ask him.
"Are you hiding something under your hair?" I asked.
He slightly touched it. "Uh, I'm just not comfortable of showing my eyes." 
"Why?"
He gulped. "Because the truth is..." he paused and tucked his hair behind his ear and my jaw almost dropped. Now it makes sense, he has different eye colors! One is green like Camilo and the other one is hazel brown.
"Woah, you've been hiding those the whole time??" I exclaimed. He seems shocked about my reaction.
"It doesn't look weird?"
"No, not at all. They're actually pretty." I said in a reassuring tone.
Well, not as pretty as Camilo's. I thought.
"Thanks, I mean Camilo said the same thing but I never believed him because I thought he was only playing around." he chuckled.
"Wow, you really got some trust issues there." I laughed just then a voice interrupted.
"Y/n, jeez, I've been looking everywhere for you." I turned around to see Camilo, panting. He looked at me and then at Carlos.
We went silent for a moment.
"Oh, uh, we were just talking about something." I said, trying to break the awkward silence. "I'm sorry but, why are you looking for me though?" 
"Oh, uh." he scratched his nape. "I was...uh... I wanted to hang out with you today but uh... nevermind. You seemed pretty busy." he says pointing out Carlos who's standing behind me.
He turned to walk away but I was quick to grab his wrist which made him to turn his head. "If you wanted to talk we can talk." I said and he smiled.
I turned to Carlos and he only nodded before saying goodbye. I saw Camilo staring down at our hands and quickly pulled back my hand. I was blushing real hard. 
Carlos never made me flustered the way Camilo does. 
That makes me wonder why.
