Devon scoffs. "Don't tell me Ezra rejected the idea of me being the official setter?" He glared at Ezra, who just smiled at him. "And what do you mean about my attitude? I didn't do anything to that pipsqueak or any other teammates."
Hearing that makes coach Alfred sighs. "You're already bullying him by calling him with that name, so stop. No matter what you say, my decision won't change until your attitude does. You're all dismissed now. Don't forget to cool down and stretch."
Coach Alfred left after that. He must be busy with paper works too, since he's also a teacher. I think I've heard that besides being the coach and faculty adviser of the boys' volleyball team, he's also a P.E and mathematics teacher, which is impressive.
Captain too

Ezra smiled after noticing me.Oh right. We live in the same street.I don't even know how to react to him because of what he did before. His face became swollen, and I don't understand why he still hasn't done anything or applied medicine. I stood in silence while he leaned on the wall near us. "You're not going home?" Ezra asked. I blinked thousands of times, though he wouldn't be able to see it. I thought he wanted to talk to me. That's why he appeared out of the blue when he left earlier than Mitch and I. "What about you?" Ezra chuckled as he gazes at me with those warm
It was pure silence on our way home. Ezra didn't speak about anything like how he usually does. I do enjoy peace and quiet, but not this again. I'm anxious that he might be thinking something wrong about me. I'm aware that he's not that type of a person, but maybe he hated how I snuck my nose into his business. I can't stop overthinking, and this is the problem with me. We're not even close for me to do something like that. Though it doesn't matter if Ezra hates me, I'm all good as long as he wouldn't bother me anymore. The darkness and the cold wind didn't help as it just made everything more awkward. Or was that just me? As soon as we arrived in front of my house's gate, I bowed
"N-No. Please wait. I'll give it back as quick as I can."I rushed towards the house and almost tripped.That was close!As soon I got inside the kitchen, I quickly transferred the food Ezra's mother made on a big plate.My eyes twinkled as I gulped out of hunger after realizing what it was. "It's lasagna." One of my favorite foods! And it's even cheesier than the one we can order from fast-food chains.Oh no, I might love this too much that I wouldn't be able to finish the pizza I already ordered."Oh shoot!"I realized
Lean focused on putting my makeup on as simple as possible since they'll be putting makeup on me on the set too. She made me wear simple clothes, a white shirt, plain pants, and the wig I would always wear as Lia. "Now, we're all set. Let's go." I nodded and followed her outside the house. There's our van waiting with Kim in the driver's seat. As soon as we got in and got our seat belts on, Kim drove off without waiting for Lean to say anything since they said we would be late. It's not my fault though, I was informed just now, and my sleep got disturbed too. I placed my earphones on both ears and looked outside the window, but my eyes widened after seeing Ezra outside. He's wearing a tracksuit, which means he must be taking a morning jog— was i
Kim helped me get in the van and even gave me a towel to wipe my sweat. “Was everything alright? Your face is flushed.” She asked as she looked at the rear-view mirror to observe my face. I smiled and shook both of my hands. “It was just hot outside.” Kim didn’t bother asking anymore, though I don’t know my face is flushed too. It’s great that Kim’s the type to not pry on things that I don’t want to talk about much. “Here, you might catch a cold if you don’t wipe your back too.” She gave me another towel which caused me to smile brightly. I don’t know. I just did it like how Lia would usually do it. Kim started the car as I looked out of the window. I didn’t notice that I’ve been sighing, which made Kim ask me again. “Is there anything wro
We took a few pictures posing the way the camera director wanted. "Face each other, then Jasper, wrap your arm around Lia's waist." Again with that. I don't know why they keep making us do skin ships when this photoshoot is for a teen magazine. Jasper's fans might attack Lia if this keeps up. Though I didn't retort, Jasper hesitated as if he was not in his right mind. Because if he is, he would have grabbed Lia's waist without hesitation and with a smug look on his face. "What are you waiting for?" Jasper flinched after I've asked him that. He didn't have any choice as he gently wrapped his arm around my waist, and we both looked in the direction of the camera. After taking shots w
Even if I was mad, I didn’t know what to do, and all I did was wait for Monday to come. And today, I have other things to think about because I will be playing as the official setter of the team, and the training is not a joke. “I’ll just give this to Mr. Mantovan, and then I’ll follow you.” I quickly shook my head with what Mitch said. He tilted his head as if confused. “Is there anything wrong? Are you going to skip today’s training?” I shook my head again. “I’ll accompany you.” Mitch made a face of realization as he smiled. We both went to where Mr. Mantovan was. It’s the right choice since I could already feel Devon’s negative aura coming from the clubroom. If he’s going to pun
"Oi." I blinked three times when Royce suddenly placed his hand above Mitch's head.The perks of being tall."You're a ball boy now. Pick up all the balls." He said, which almost made my heart drop. The tone of Royce's voice was dry. How could he say that to Mitch? I've been noticing this, but Royce is only cold and distant towards Mitch. I don't know why, but Mitch has been working hard. He didn't deserve that punishment. Yet… I couldn't say anything or defend Mitch like he is when it comes to me because I don't really know what happened between him and Carlos. And even if I did, I'm too much of a coward to say anything. &
Alexis's POV I woke after I felt light touching my face, which made me grunt. I wanted to get up, but I felt Ezra's hand wrapped around my waist. "This guy, really," I muttered as I tried to get his arm off, but before I could even get up properly, I felt my waist hurting like it was about to break off. In the end, I couldn't get up, which led me to feel annoyed. "You should really learn how to control yourself." Ezra chuckled as he snuggled on my back. "My bad. It's been so long since we last did it, and I just came back from our competition in Los Angeles." He said those could be used as a proper excuse for fucking me until I passed out. "Hey, you're not mad, are you?" He asked as he made me turn around, but I groaned due to pain as soon as my back touched the bed. All I could
Mitch's POV"Mitch, would you like to go out with me?"I was dumbfounded after hearing Dwight ask me that after our practice. "What are you on? Are you drunk?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him, which caused him to laugh. The other members that were cleaning after training were looking at us."I'm not drunk. I really like you, even though I liked girls before." Dwight had this sheepish expression on his face as he smiled at me widely. "I really want to—" He was cut off after Royce stood in between us.Joaquin followed as he wrapped his arm around Dwight's shoulder. "What are you doing, dude? You already know that Royce's head-over-
I was so nervous when I sat on the soft and comfy bed. "May I kiss you again?" Ezra kept asking for permission, and I kept nodding to allow him to do whatever it was he wanted.I want to kiss him too.We were dismissed too early today that it wasn't even sunset yet. Ezra was staring at my lips as if he needed to quench his thirst, and it gave me shivers down my spine. He placed his hand on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. The moment his lips touched mine felt like I was electrified, even though it wasn't the first time it happened.I don't know if I'm doing great to match his pace, and as we continued kissing, all I could hear were the lewd sounds, making me so flustered to the point of pushing Ezra away.
I stayed the whole night in Mitch's place, and Andre was the one that delivered me some clothes and other necessities I needed. It seems like our mother's still going on with her rampage, and I wouldn't be able to come home yet.I actually like this better. I'm always uncomfortable being at home anyway. Today, Mitch apologized to everyone and coach Alfred for ditching practice yesterday without any excuse. Though we thought he'd be receiving severe punishment, coach Alfred let it go since he knew how sincere Mitch was with his apology. "So that's what happened." Mitch and I looked at each other while waiting for Jade's reaction after explaining what happened yesterday. "Wow, a lot happened
I looked up, and my eyes widened after seeing Royce. "What are you doing?" Why is he still here? I thought he had gone home already before me? I was too flustered that I immediately stood up. "Are you waiting for the captain?" Royce asked, which made me shake my head many times."Please don't tell anyone that you saw me here."Royce tilted his head as he looked down, and I quickly tried to hide my shoes that I couldn't wear properly. "I won't ask anything else, but if you're planning to stay out here, why don't you just go to your best friend's house?"I instantly thanked Royce for that and bid him goodbye. I was too distracted by my problem that I forgot I had Mitch.I just hope he will accept me.&nb
"What are you talking about, Tiffany?"Tiffany giggled after being asked like that by Ezra. "Are you playing dumb, captain? Wasn't it you who said about Alexis being your boyfriend— And what was it? Mitch's not interested in girls?" Her eyes twinkled, and I didn't know what to say. "Then why is he hanging around with that third-year girl?" She placed her hand on her chin and looked at us."What do you want?"Tiffany looked at Ezra with uninterested eyes. "Nothing much. Just stay out of my way, and I'll do the same." She said as she looked at me with a smile. "You wouldn't want your mom to learn about this, wouldn't you?" I was frozen in shock after she mentioned that. Why is she talking about my mom?
The training camp ended without any problem, although my body was in pain after the training with the Golden Bell warriors. Right, they've been training with us side by side. Though I wonder why when we're the teams that always compete right before the championship, where the only one between us could get into that said championship.It didn't matter since we should already know what we needed to work on after playing against our greatest rivals. Even though we were going to play against each other soon, the players on the other team didn't look so bad, in fact, they even helped us learn lots of things. They're too kind, or maybe they're content because they think we wouldn't be able to win against them?However, during that training camp, I noticed that Liliana received even more bullying than before. I don't kn
Alexis’s POV“That’s all for today. We won’t be having rigorous training for now since we’ll be having the training camp soon.” Those were coach Alfred’s last words before dismissing us.“Lexi! Let’s go home together.” Mitch called up to me. That reminds me, I still haven’t told him about my relationship with Ezra. “You wouldn’t be coming home with Ezra again today, wouldn’t you? Honestly, what’s going on with you two?”“Actually—““Ah! Lili! What happened to you?”
Jade's POVI heard a knock on my door while drawing on my tablet. "Go away." It's probably Gelo again. I don't have the time to deal with him right now, but instead of following what I said, Angelo opened the door to my room which made me look in his direction. "What the hell? I said go away. I'm busy."My younger brother, Angelo, didn't listen again, and instead, he sat on my bed. Purposively pissing me off.This goddamn brat."I thought you weren't going to join any clubs? Why are you joining the boys' volleyball club as a manager? Ion was there too; did you know that?" This brat really kept on getting on my nerves the past few days.
