Found Again

‘You’re finally coming back here in the Philippines! Please feature Andrew Lopez on your vlog!’ ‘We can’t wait to see you here in the Philippines Ms. Allison! Looking forward to seeing Andrew Lopez on your vlog!’ ‘Finally! Andrew Lopez on Stellar! Welcome back, Ms. Allison!’ I sighed as I read all their comments on my Instagram live. I look at the camera and gave them my fake smile. It’s been 2 years since I left the country. Many things have happened. Andrew Lopez, my ex-boyfriend is now a famous singer in the country. He is now at the peak of his career. He is slowly being recognized internationally. Who would have thought that the person whom I call “Mr. No PR” is now a celebrity? I was shocked when I saw him on a trend list on Twitter. I wanted to ask Lance about it but I stop myself from doing it. I am still in the process of moving on. I need to stop thinking about him and focus on myself. But my heart is so weak when it comes to Andrew. I just found myself searching for his name which I regret because I found out that his manager is none other than Anne, my best friend, and his new rumored girlfriend. I understand why they keep mum about their relationship. Andrew at that time is a rising star. He must be single so that he can attract more fans. And now that he was at the peak of his career, the more he needs to keep his relationship with Anne a secret. I have a question though, why did he decide to pursue his singing career? And why did he not ask the group (his band with Lance and friends) to join him in his singing career? Why did he go solo? I bet their band will be the most popular band not just in the country but all over the world. I am not exaggerating, their band is a complete package. Though I hope they will not use the name of the band that they created before. Until now, I don’t know if I will believe them when they told me their band name. “Our band name is Allison,” Lance said when I asked for their band name after their band session. I rolled my eyes. “Whatever Lance!” All of them chuckled. Lance pinch my cheek! My eyes widen and I shouted at him. “What the?! Lance!!!” I can see that the group is trying their best to control their laugh but not Lance. He laughed so loud in front of me. When his laugh subside he explain to me why they decided to name their band after me. “You are the reason why our band was formed.” Lance started his speech. “This band session is their way to cheer me up whenever we received a false lead about your whereabouts.” “That is also the reason why this band studio was placed here in our mansion.” “Who thought of the idea to name your band after my name?” I asked. “It was Andrew.” After I found out that Andrew was the one who suggested to name their band after my name, I found myself falling for him more. He was already courting me at that time. I shook my head at the sudden memory. “Thank you guys for your warm welcome. I am more excited now to be home. I am so excited to meet you guys. And who knows? Maybe one of you will be lucky enough to have a makeover by yours truly.” ‘Please have a collaboration with Andrew Lopez!’ ‘I found out that you are close with Andrew Lopez! For sure you will have a collaboration with him soon! Can’t wait! Stellar will surely be sold-out once you made him on your cover!’ I wanted to roll my eyes after reading that comment. Stellar is always sold-out. I don’t need Andrew in my magazine! “I will surely take all your suggestion on my list. But it will still depend on the artist if he will be available for a collab.” I said to them. Again comments about him flooded my comment section. ‘We will have a Twitter party and have it trend. We promise you that #AndrewLopezOnStellar will be number one trending worldwide.’ My eyes widen from that comment. Oh no! Please don’t! “Let’s see! Thank you all for your support! I need to end my live now. I need to get ready for my flight tomorrow. Thank you, everyone! And see you soon!!! Bye!” After I clicked the end button, I slumped onto the sofa. My head feels heavy after my Instagram live. Just like Andrew, I also pursue the entertainment industry, though not exactly like his but close to it. I am now a vlogger thanks to my new friend, Noah Elordi. I met him two years ago. He’s a high fashion model and vlogger. He was the one who introduce me to vlogging. Until now, it was as if yesterday when it happened. It was my first day in the US after I found out that Andrew and Anne are in a relationship, that is one month after I left the country and broke up with Andrew. I can still feel the bitterness whenever I think about it. They didn’t even wait for the three-month rule. I want to question Andrew if he really loves me when we were together because it was so easy for him to move on and get into a new relationship. I shoved that unpleasant memory and continued remembering my first meeting with Noah. I wanted to take Andrew and Anne off my head that is why I decided to go out of my hotel and shop for clothes since I only have a few clothes with me. I was busy shopping when some guy carrying a camera approached me. “Hi, Miss! Can you give me a spare of your time?” The guy asked me. I was still confused at that time. “Are you a celebrity or something?” I can’t help but ask. I saw the guy named Noah blush. It was as if it was impossible for me not to know him. Is he famous or something? He smiled at me and focus the camera on me. “I’m Noah Elordi. I’m a model and a vlogger.” He introduces himself. My mouth formed “Oh”. I saw him scratching his head. He looks shocked that I didn’t know him. He must really be a famous one. Then Noah shifts his camera on himself. “That was unexpected. I need to do well on my job I guess.” He joked. He zooms out his camera to catch both of us on the screen. I just smile at him. “It’s not your fault. I am not familiar much with international celebrities. I’m only familiar with celebrities in the Philippines, my home country, and Korea because a friend of mine is a celebrity there.” I explained myself to him. Noah looked at me intently which made me blush and feel shy. Did I tell you that the guy in front of me look so hot and handsome? He looked like someone from a fictional character in novels and manga. “Want to get more about me?” He asked then winked at me. “Yes?” I said a bit unsure. “Great then be my guest on my vlog episode today!” He said. I had no choice but to agree with him. He caught me off-guard. Also, joining him on his vlog is not a bad idea. I will grab anything that will help me to divert my attention so that I won’t think about Andrew. He explained to me the content of his vlog today. He was looking for a stranger to dress him up. This shop or brand paid him to do that. It was another form of advertisement for the brand. Most brands are doing this form of advertisement since we are in a world where social media is dominating the market. “Great to know that you have a styling experience. This challenge will be easy for you.” Noah said when I told him about my part-time job in the Philippines. “Shall we start?” *** Author’s Note:
