Chapter 4

„Come on Dolores! What are they talking about?” Camilo asks as Dolores cleans up the dinner table.

„Not about you,” Camilos sister replies. She almost zoned out, but added, „All I can hear is giggling and girl topics.” She tries to brush his question off.

„But they must've talked about me. Come on. I'll let you my dessert for the next three weeks if you tell me!”

„I'm gonna say it like this, Camilo; I can hear Mirabel's heart beating faster.”

Camilo grunts. „Yeah right. Like Mirabel'd like Y/N.” He thinks.

•

„No, seriously. You have to tell me now!” Mirabel says between laughs, trying to get Y/N's love interest out of her.

„Nope! Not telling a thing!” Y/N sticks her tongue out and laughs. „It's not even a crush, anyway. It's not that serious.” You tried so hard to not let it out, that you like your best friend. Mirabel was so nice to you, and was always there. Of course your lesbian ass would fall for her.

„Hm, alright. But if you ever wanted to tell me-”

„Not happening.”

„-then I'm ready to help you two get together.” Mirabel tried being supportive. She couldn't just be selfish, right? She'd rather let others be happy.

„Pffh, yeah alright. But I doubt it'll ever develop.” Y/N tried to change the subject. She didn't want to mess up this friendship. It'd mean, well, loosing her crush she's so desperately trying to lie about.

Well, Y/N was successful. They started talking about other things, their favorite books and knitting. And they ended up knitting together on Y/Ns night dress. They knitted a butterfly and a cat, like their symbols. They both thought to themselves this makes them soulmates, but neither said anything. Of course not. Y/N likes someone else and Mirabel couldn't like girls. She's not like that. In the worst case scenario, anyway.

They fell asleep deep into the night, still talking as sleep was taking hold of them. They both slept on the one bed, it was comfortable...but that still means they're just friends. Right?

•

Y/N woke up first. She felt someone cuddling to her. She opened her eyes and saw Mirabel so close she almost yelped. Mirabel was hugging Y/N in her sleep. Y/N started blushing madly. She let out her hands, already feeling them get cold as they left the warm embrace. She considered getting Mirabel off of her, but then she started feeling the warmth and looked at Mirabel's perfect sleeping face and simply couldn't. She decided to keep resting and hugged Mirabel back, getting her closer. Y/N didn't want to wake her up. She wanted to stay in this moment forever.

Which would happen if the clock next to the bed wouldn't start ringing suddenly. Mirabel and Y/N both immediately sat up on the bed. Y/N kept Mirabel close...but then realised she did and let Mirabel go. During that, Mirabel started processing what she woke up to and blushed.

„Uhh- Um, sorry-” Mirabel started.

„No, no that's- uhh- it's okay, I uh-” They were both a blushing mess. They both stuttered at once and awkwardly laughed. Mirabel reached for her glasses on the desk next to the bed, so Y/N shoved herself away to let Mirabel through. During that, Y/N fell off the bed. Mirabel adjusted her glasses and started laughing.

„Ow,” Y/N said sarcastically, but smiled because Mirabel was clearly having a kick outta this. Y/N stood up and pretended to dust herself off dramatically. „Should weeee...go to breakfast?”

„Yeah!” Mirabel also got off the bed and started looking for clothes in her closet. Y/N took some clothes from her bag and went to the door, singnaling to Mirabel she's gonna go change in the bathroom. Mirabel gave her a thumbs up and with that, Y/N left.

She went past Camilo, who said a hey to her. She gave him a cold glance and said "hey" as well, passing him by.

„Hey wait!” Camilo ran up to the H/C haired girl. She stopped in her tracks.

„I suppose I don't have to be a bitch about yesterday...let's see what he comes up with.” Y/N thinks to herself and turns around, now facing Camilo. She realizes he's pretty short. She eyes him up and down with a neutral expression and he starts talking.

„So. Yesterday was totally not planned and I understand you don't want to talk to me, but. I do like you. That part was right. But I don't want to push it. And I'm stupid. And sorry.” Camilo blurts out as Y/Ns eyebrows furrow. She thinks about what to say, a reddish blush finds itself on her face as her mind starts drifting off to the thought of Mirabel. Wait, no, I'm talking to Camilo right now, ugh, focus, he wants an answer or something. So say the something!

„Uhh...that's...great, Camilo, but I'm a lesbian.” Y/N says as Camilo turns red from embarrassment.

„Ooh. OOOOH. Oh, my gosh. I'm- so sorry,” Camilo apologises and takes Y/Ns hand into his own, „I'll be sure to tell the family so these kind of things don't happen anymore.”

Y/Ns eyes widen and her face turns to fear.

„Um, don't-” she pulls her hand away, „-do that. I'd love to do it myself and face any kind of judgement on my own. But thanks. We can be friends, if you want.” She didn't want to make new friends, but whatever - Camilo seems like a nice person, anyway. He could be a good friend. He is Mirabel's cousin, after all.

„Oh yeah! That'd be great.” Camilo replies and Y/N smiles, leaving and waving him a temporary bye before entering the bathroom.
