Love Me Like You Did

Chapter 11

Amelia’s POV:

"Are you sure that you're okay?" Madi asked. "For the tenth time Madison, I'm literally fine." I smiled. After the incident, there are still a lot who would call me looser while the others would say they felt bad for me. Come on guys, don't be such a plastic. If you really felt bad then why don't you stand up for me? Simple as that.

If you are wondering how I got to my house with interrogation from my grandma, I told her that we had a food fight. You see, my grandma thought that I'm popular since I have good grades. She doesn't know that it's the opposite. I'm not popular; I get bully because I have good grades. I get bully because I'm a nerd. Good thing my grandma bought it. I went to my room to clean myself and start doing my homework.

I made myself so busy, I made to the point not to look across. I just hope and pray that tomorrow will be fine. But it didn't......

The next day was even worse. It was P.E. day meaning more scars and bruises. My last subject was P.E. and because I'm the looser, almost all the boys kept on throwing balls at me. Did I forget to tell you that Alexa made an announcement that she would date any guy who would make my life miserable?

Since she is popular, all the boys wanted to make life Heller than hell. So they did what they were told. They really made my life miserable. "Coach is coming! Coach is coming!" One student yelled. On that cue, the students scram off. Sure. Leave me with all the balls to clean.

"Ms. Royale, why are you still here? What happen to you?" Coach Fredrick asked. "I’m just cleaning up coach." I said as I tried to hide my bruises. "Wait, is that bruises on your arm?" He asked worried.

Maybe not...

"I fell down." I said. "There are more bruises on your face." He said. "What happened? If you're not going to tell me then I have no choice to the principal." Did he just say principal? "NO!" I said. "I told that I fell. I slip and fell. Everything is just my clumsiness." I chuckled. I can tell that coach would not buy my alibi but I guess that he knows that he won’t get an answer from me.

"Okay. If that’s what happen then I guess I have no choice. I will let this slide but if I see another bruise I will let the principal know about this." he said. I nodded in relief. "Of course, don't worry coach." Thank god he bought it or maybe not but still thank you. "Do want me to help you clean this up?" Coach asked, referring the balls that are scattered everywhere. "No thanks coach. I'm all good.” I smiled. “I think I can handle it from here."

"Okay. I'll leave you now but remember what we've talked about." He said and I nodded. I sighed in relief when Coach Fredrick left. That was a close one. It’s time to pick up mess up. As I picked the last ball, I saw a paper plane. To my curiosity, I picked up and opened it. I saw a smiling face on it. I tried to look around the gym to see if there is someone there but no one was there for except me. Probably someone just wanted to mess up the gym again.

I decided to do one last check. Seeing the gym spotless made me happy and decided to go home.

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now i'm covered in the colors apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is grey

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

This is actually my favorite past time. Singing; however singing doesn't like me.

That is why I don't want to join that singing competition. I will only humiliate myself; however, since my grades depends on it then I have no choice but to join. I'd rather humiliate myself then lose my grade. That's how a nerd I am. Speaking of singing, I found the song that I'll be singing.

After a day of deliberation, I chose to sing crazy in love by Beyoncé but with a twist. I'm planning to do an acoustic and duet version. I also have a plan B which is love me harder by Ariana Grande featuring The Weekend. I need to have a backup plan just in case the first option didn't work. Song is done. One problem though, I still have no partner. What's worse is that all guys will make my life miserable because of Alexa's announcement.

I manage to stay away from grandma. I was lucky in enough to get home while she's at Aunt Paula's house. Save by the bell if you asked me. The struggle is really real. "Amelia dinner is ready." Gradma yelled from downstairs. Shoot! I totally forgot about dinner. Make-up should do the trick. That is if I know how to use it.

"Amelia dinner is ready." she yelled again. Grandma hates it when she called me and I didn't respond. "I'm coming." I yelled. I guess I have no choice but to go down and eat dinner. Guide me my batman. "Amelia, how many time do I" grandma stops when she saw me. "What happen to your face?" Her voice went up a little higher.

Just go with the flow Amelia. "I slip and fell down." I smiled, hoping she would buy it. "Don't play games with me Amelia Royale." Grandma said, putting her hands on her waist. There goes the full name meaning that she is already angry. "I'm not playing games grandma." I said as I looked her in the eyes. "I'm telling the truth. I slip and fell down."

I think that she already bought it. "Fine, if you said that you slip and fell down and I believe. Just make sure that next time you be careful." She said.

"Will do." I answered and we ate our dinner in silence.
