Love Me Like You Did

CHAPTER 16

Amelia’s POV:

I’m hoping for a nice day today. School fair today, helping Madi out on her stall and Quiel and Nathan wanted us to watch their game. Better get going, don’t want to be late again. I ate my breakfast with grandma and wave good bye after that.

P.S. I’m still hoping for a nice day…………

“Amelia, look what I’ve got.” Madi called as she shows me a box with a K-pop word on it. “Wait does that mean,” I wasn’t able to finish my sentence because she interrupts me. “K-POP collections” She squeal as she show me some stickers. Why? Why or Why? K-pop, is it really necessary?

“Why K-pop Madi?” I asked, pretending to be hurt. “You know that I don’t know any of it.” It’s true; I don’t know any single k-pop. K-pop has been a massive hit and wherever you go, it k-pop there, k-pop here and k-pop all over.

Everyone loves k-pop, except for me. I’m not being a negative or out of place person but I’d rather choose Spanish music than k-pop music. I’d heard some k-pop music and some songs are good to be honest but the k-pop addiction isn’t really running through my bloods. You know what I’m saying right?

“Relax Amelia, there are names on it so you would be confused about it. “ Madi chuckled. She knows that I’m not a k-pop fan. “Whether you put names on it or not, it is still useless for me because they all looked the same.” I defended. Am I right that K-pop group just look as one person? Believe they do?

“Don’t be a negative person Amelia, just relax. This k-pop collectible will be a hit, believe me.” She said with pure confidence. “How did you know?” I asked her. “K-pop is massive hit.” Madi said in a duh tone. “Beside, I’ve done a survey and the survey said that K-pop will be a big hit.”

That’s Madi for you…..

“O.M.G, is that Lisa from Blackpink?” A student asked, with a huge smile on her face. “Yes it is.” Madi smiled. “Do you have BTS stickers too?’” another student asked. “Yes we do. “ Madi smiled, showing the stickers to them. The two students did a fan girl moment and turn back to us. “We’ll take them.”

Madi’s stall has been a hit. Students, especially girls are buying tons of collection. Lucky me, I’m able to cope up with the K-pop madness. But I still prefer Spanish music than k-pop, no offense.

“Look, the basketball teams are coming this way?” One girl screamed while the rest followed, including us. Another fan girl moment for the girls. Quiel and Nathan were at the front followed by the other guys and the cheerleaders. Some cheerleaders are dating some basketball members. That is society. The popular you are the popular you can who you like. Quiel and Nathan saw us and stop by in front of our shop. “Hey ladies” Nathan smiled. “Hi Nathan, Hi Quiel,” Madi greeted, “Good luck on you game.”

“Thanks” Nathan smiled. “Are you guys going to watch our game?” Madi and I looked at each other and turn back to them. “We love too but” Madi was cut by Quiel. “Oh come on please, it would be great if you are going to be there.” Quiel smiled. Madi thought about for a few seconds and turn back to them. “Wouldn’t want to miss it” She smiled. “Great.” Quiel said. “See you guys later.” was the last thing they said before they went to the gym. “Oh my gosh,” A girl squealed. “Quiel and Nathan talked to you guys. You guys are so lucky. I’ll do anything for them to talk to me like that.”

“Are you friends with them?” another girl asked. “Enough question girls, let’s first head to the gym.” Madi said as took a bundle of paper. “What’s that on your hand?” I asked. “Flyers silly,” Madi said playfully. “This would be a perfect opportunity; everyone will be on the gym so I will be giving away flyers for my stall.”

Typical Madi, always business on her mind, but at least we are able to watch the game then I’m fine with it. We all went to the gym and the place was now jam-packed. No seats available so we decided to stand up. “Where are you going Amelia?” Madi asked. “Restroom” I answered back and she nodded.

Inside the cubicle, I can hear some students chatting. “If I knew, Quiel is just using her.” One girl said and the others started to laugh. “She is such a b***h and i***t thinking that Quiel will like her.” Another girl added. “Alexa is right, she doesn’t belong here.” Another girl added and they started to laugh before leaving the restroom.

Ouch! That hurts. First of all, Quiel didn’t ask any favor from me and besides he was the one who decline my offer. If Quiel was just using me then he was using me for what? I can’t think of any reason. If Quiel would say that he needs my help to pass his exam so he could play next week then I’m find with it. I was the one to offer,

But then again, those rumors have been rumors before so let’s not mind that.

I was outside the restroom when someone called me. I turn around and saw Quiel, who was about to head to the gym. “Quiel,” I smiled. “I can see that you are ready to play.” The basketball team members are heading to the court as they kept on calling Quiel. “I’m really glad that you decided to watch the game.” He smiled. “You invited us so we came.” I said.

Quiel was about to say something when the announcer called his name. That’s his cue.

“They’re looking for you. “ I smiled as I looked at him. “Aren’t you coming?” He asked. “I think it’s better if you go ahead first. You are star.” I chuckled and he smiled at my comment. “Good luck.” I said.

“Thanks,” Quiel said as went to the court.
