What kind of museum is it? What about the job? Is it a scam?

History museum

(Originally written in Spanish, and flexibly translated into English, by me.)

The museum was about the town's history in the era of the Viceroyalty. The current exhibit was a historical reenactment of the 18th century and the Bourbon Reforms. According to legend, the criollos, local natives of Hispanic descent, fought to preserve their ancient rights and liberties against the peninsulares, officials sent by Madrid. But the legend says nothing about the activities or fates of the Indians or other races.

Magi was hired to play the role of a mestiza, half-European and half-Indian, in the city, and was looking forward to reenacting the scenes. Especially since her favorite teacher, Mr. Rodriguez, was hired to play the Viceroy. But her excitement quickly died off when she found out that her high school bully, Paquita, had been hired for the role of the eldest daughter of the criollo Antunez family.

Paquita was Magi's opposite in many ways. Her skin was fair and clear, and the waves in her hair came easier. She was outgoing and always got Magi's crushes - and she let Magi know it. Worse still, she was also a good student whom Mr. Rodriguez liked. But even this didn't satisfy Paquita, who felt it necessary to bully Magi every day in high school until they both graduated and Paquita travelled the world for college. But now Paquita was back in town, and Magi was not in a position to turn down this job. So, Magi just had to suck it up and hope for the best.

What does Paquita do to Magi? Whose side does Mr. Rodriguez take?
