"Do you think she's gonna hate you Miguel?" asked Javier
"she already does!" reply Miguel
"Come on let's head back to the dorm," said, Antonio.
As they walked down Javier asked Miguel to call him Javi instead of Javier since he liked Javi better. As they walked Antonio told Miguel that Maria was a famous musician, singer, dancer and actress. She was their age and the great-great-granddaughter to Ernesto De la Cruz and had an older sister Sophia and an older brother Marco and younger brother José and a younger sister Selena. Miguel looked disappointed replaying Maria giving him the glare in his head he had never been hated before as he always felt the urge to please everyone. Maybe if he avoided Maria long enough she would ignore him and everything would be fine. That was going to be harder than expected the next day Maestro Alejandro gave everybody their timetable and Miguel had almost all of his classes with Maria at every class whenever he had to go present something in front of the class Maria would gossip with her friends or ignore him as he was speaking.
As his last Workshop ended he went back to his dorm it was 4:30 and he had no idea what to do he could read a book but as the music ban was lifted he wanted to take advantage of it he got his guitar out of its case and went down to the common room where was empty as most of the other students were probably tired from the first day Miguel thought and start to play Poco Loco as he started playing Antonio walked by and heard him playing he gasped before running off. Was I that bad? Miguel thought as he started to play again this time students came out of their dorm to listen they started clapping along as Miguel play the guitar some girls even started dancing to the Rhythm and before Miguel knew it, a party began!.
As everybody was enjoying the party Miguel looked at the time it was 5:45 Miguel had been playing every song he knew and every song he wrote Miguel play the last line of Proud Corazon before stopping and getting an excited Applause from the audience. Miguel took a bow and packed his guitar back in the case and headed back to his dorm. As soon as he reached there he put the guitar case under his bed and went down to the living room where Antonio and Javi came back from the party. "Que fu ese Miguel!" Javi exclaimed, "we didn't know you were that talented!" "seriously you definitely live up to your great great grandfather's legacy". "Thanks, guys" Miguel said full confidence when he was twelve he said he was a musician he never truly felt like one till 5 minutes ago.
As he went out to get some fresh air he heard a voice behind him. "Good job back there Zaportito you managed to make it look like you are a real musician too bad you aren't cuz really you know as well as I do, your talentless and can't tell an A from an F when it comes to music" Maria smirked and headed back inside. And just like that Miguel confidence shattered maybe Maria was right that he wasn't really that talented whenever he played music his family was told him he was good what if they only wanted to make him feel good what if he wasn't really talented what if he was good at playing the guitar, no no no I was about to win that competition during Dia de Los Muertos and everyone did enjoy his music at the party. He had no idea why Maria hated him but he was going to find out. Miguel went to go find Maria and confront her but on his way, he heard yelling he saw a guy about three years older than him.
