It took Miguel a week to convince his parents to sign him up for The Young Music Talent after the music ban got lifted he was able to practice music in public his abuelita had a hard time getting used to the music ban being nonexistent but didn't yell
"no music"
every time she heard it. The rest of the family had it easier though. After Miguel's pleads his family finally decided to sign him up for music camp. The program was 5 months long and it was currently June 2 and it had been 2 yrs since the ban got lifted. Miguel waited patiently at the line waiting for it to be his turn to go and register in.
"Miguel you know you don't have to go to the music camp," said his father
"I'll be fine Papa," said Miguel "it's only five months and I'll try to call you every week".
Enrique sighed "I know mi'jo but.. just promise me that you will never abandon your family"
"I promise papa"
when it was finally their turn the register said "next, all right I just need your name and your parent or guardian signature and then you get to go into the music program"
"Miguel Rivera," said Miguel
everybody stopped what they were doing the whole room fell silent everybody was staring at Miguel looking at him like he was a celebrity the register dropped his pen and asked
"you're the great great grandson of Hector Rivera" Miguel nodded
the clerk register continued on to say
"I say it is such an honour to meet you any way I need your father to just sign this form"
as Enrique signed the form Miguel got one last glimpse of his father the summer camp was five-month-long and he wouldn't be seeing his father in the flesh until the last night of his stay. As the register let him into the building Miguel was outstood by the building it was glamorous something everybody would dream of look like something you'd see out of a reality TV show.
Miguel got his luggage and started to walk. as Miguel continued to walk he was looking for his dorm room Miguel's dorm room was the room A-19 as he walked past dorms A-10 and A-11 he bumped into a beautiful girl. The girl had long dark brown hair and beautiful sapphire eyes and light skin the girl didn't look very happy when Miguel bumped into her. Miguel apologized "sorry I'm…. Miguel Rivera " the girl just huffed and stormed passed him. As Miguel continue to walk you found his dorm room A-19 then he opened the door to his dorm He saw a boy his age about to open a door, in the room, there was a living room, 3 doors which Miguel guessed led to a bedroom. And a bathroom.
"Hi, I'm... You're Miguel Rivera" said a guy with black hair and green eyes
"yes..." Miguel said confused at what was happening
"Antonio come here it's Miguel Rivera he's our dorm mate".
Another guy similar to the guy with black hair and green eyes came out of a door
"what is it, Javier…" The guy who was supposedly Antonio stopped in his tracks his eyes filled with excitement before screaming "oh my God you're Miguel Rivera the descendant of the greatest musicians of all time can I have your autograph please please please" "pardon my brother please anyway let us introduce ourselves I'm Javier and this is my brother Antonio we are your new door mates for the rest of the program I guess you've learned my brother is a fan of you".
"Oh well, I guess you already know that my name is Miguel Rivera and I will be a new dorm mate anyway is this your first time here?" Miguel said hopefully. "No, actually we came here every year since we were eight we are guessing this is your first time?" said, Antonio. "Yes," said Miguel "it is so can you tell me what we do here?". "Well, we usually just have a bunch of workshops with teachers who are famous musicians from all over the world. And in the third week we get to see a concert played by the hottest musicians of all time, and the fourth week there a dance with dates and everything and on the last week is a big concert that we will be playing in front of all the parents and the teachers choose three students to give solos and two duets for the when we play in front of the parents". "What sort of music will we be playing?" "well mariachi music, pop and Tejano." Miguel relaxes of a thought of not playing classical music he never was one for classical music ever. As the rest of the day past Javier Antonio and Miguel got to know each other. and Miguel felt glad to make new friends
Antonio relaxed and stopped acting like a loco Fanboy Every Time Miguel spoke. And soon it was time to go into the common room to hear from their maestro.
"Hello everybody," said a woman around her late 30s "I'm Maestra Karina. Thank you, everybody, for coming to this year's music program this is the 20th anniversary of this camp. I hope you all enjoy it here, this year we are going to change something usually the camp is about music but from this day forward it will also be about dance we have dancers all around the world to teach workshops to those who want to participate thank you all and I want you to all let you know the schedule.

All right I hope all of you enjoy your stay and if you have any questions please ask me, Maestra Milagro, Maestro Alejandro and Maestro Carlos and you may get back to your dorms now to settle in".
As they walked back to the dorms Miguel saw that girl he bumped into earlier and she gave him a mean glare as she walked into her dorm "who's she" asked Miguel looking at the door of the dorm the girl went I to "she's Maria... De la Cruz" said, Javier.
