"Huh?" Camilo asked, his mouth ajar.
"You said anything!" I said, raising my hands. Camilo bit his lip.
"I...wasn't expecting that." he said. "No."
I sighed, crossing my arms and resting them on the table.
"Your turn." I said. I had a feeling I already knew what he was going to ask.
"Are you and Dario dating?" Camilo asked.
Just like I thought.
"No." I answered, turning to face him.
"Do you want to date him?" he asked, raising a brow.
"That's two questions, Camilo. It's my turn." I said. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Camilo looked up, scratching his neck.
"Mmm, let's talk about something else." he said. I exhaled, feeling my lips curl a bit.
"Okay... who's your least favorite Madrigal?" Camilo asked.
"Spare yourself." I said, pointing my brows. Camilo stifled a laugh. "Who's your favorite cousin?"
Camilo bit his lip.
"Uh, not sure I should say... I'm not Mirabel's favorite." he said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"She said so."
"Why would she tell you that? What'd you do?"
Camilo shifted in his seat. "Technically I was Dolores when she said that she was her favorite, but she never retracted her statement."
"See? You see why I accepted that you didn't like me? You never came back and corrected yourself." I said, shaking my head.
"No, no. That's different. Mirabel's my cousin, best friend essentially. I could expect her to do that." Camilo justified.
"It's really not that different." I said. "Your turn."
"How did you really feel about the monster in my story?" Camilo asked. I scratched the side of my head.
"I already told you that I'm fine." I said. "It didn't hurt my feelings."
"No, I mean do you agree that you share similarities?" Camilo said.
"Maybe." I said. "Was that your way of telling me?"
"Telling you what?"
"That that's how you see me."
"Maybe."
I leaned forward onto the table.
"You're not very confrontational, are you?" I asked. Camilo shook his head.
"No. I try not to be."
I hummed. "Is that how you handle everything? Passively?"
"If I can, yes." Camilo answered. I nodded, looking at the surrounding area. "Are you ready to go home?"
"Yeah." I answered, standing up. I tilted my head. "Actually, I'm gonna go hang out with Dario for a while."
"Oh." Camilo said, looking at me.
"I'll be fine. You can just head home." I said, picking up my empty plate. Camilo airily kicked the dirt and nodded, putting his hands into his pockets.
