Chapter 24 - Not a One-Sided Friendship
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"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.

The shock was drawn in Mitch's face as he moved back. "No! It's not your fault— I lost my temper. That's why I ended up like this. None of this is your fault." I could feel how he was getting anxious and panicky with the way he said that. But then he stopped. "How? How did you know that?" "I heard them yesterday. Carlos and Devon. On my way to the restroom, I heard what Carlos said. That, I was the reason why you reacted like that. I don't want you to end up like this. I didn't want them to be mean to you too." I balled my fists. "Even if I look like this, I'm glad that you consider me as your friend." I was confused when Mitch, out of the blue, showed an ugly expression. That's when I realized that he was trying to suppress his tears. "You're so kind. I like you so much." He pulled me into a hug, and I could feel

I'm overthinking things again. "Oh, I would also give the uniforms tomorrow." After coach Alfred's announcements, we were dismissed. "Should we go to McDonald's?" We were now changing in the clubroom when Mitch asked that with a wide grin on his face. I could accompany him even if I don't like eating that much. When I was about to answer, I suddenly remembered that I still needed to give Ezra's umbrella back to him. I don't want to wait any longer because the anxiety of not giving it back is stressing me out. I nodded at him. "But I sti

I nodded since I didn't even know that my face's flushed. Zaki chuckled, which made me look at him. "I notice that you only talk to Mitch, which makes me wonder if you don't like any of us from the class." He gazes at me, but I grow flustered since I remember his initial question. "Oh, but don't feel pressured to answer my question. It's just thought since you and Mitch are both new here in the academy, I thought I should help you two to get comfortable." I wonder why he's kind to me though? There are no benefits for him since I don't excel in anything. If someone had benefits, that would be me since he's the class monitor and intelligent. Zaki's liked by everyone and the kindest guy in our class.

"Nice!" I was taken aback when Dwight suddenly pulled me closer to them. "I thought I was going to receive that toss! Almost had me there." He said while laughing. "What made you choose Ezra anyway? He keeps on failing before. If it was me, I would be scared to toss to him again." Dwight chuckled as he was about to place his arm around my shoulder, but Ezra pulled him away from me and closer to him. "I-I got distracted when he shouted." They all laughed after I'd answered that. I also saw how Ezra smiled at me even though he must still be awkward with me, and his face was flushed, reaching up to his ears. "Thank

Jackson laughed again because of Mitch's still angry expression. "Calm down, Mina." I raised an eyebrow. "Mina?" Jackson heard me, which caused him to nod. "Mitch Nathaniel." He giggled as he faced Mitch again. "I'm sorry, okay? I'll give you something else." He then sat back on his chair. We heard him rummaging through his bag and the annoyance in Taichi's voice. I don't know what's happening in front of us. That's why I don't understand the reason for Taichi's annoyance. Maybe Jackson's super clumsy that he keeps hitting Taichi with something? Jackson suddenly threw something in our way, which Mitch quickly caught. "I bought that for the two of you." He smiled as he peaked in our

I immediately reeled and pulled the fish out of the water. "Yay! We got it!" Mitch screamed out of joy. "What do you mean 'we'? It's Alexis's catch." Jackson said, which led them to quarrel again, but Mr. Mantovan called us before they could even catch more fish. Since I got one, I automatically won our bet. "Oh right! Did you know that upperclassman from the volleyball team?" Taichi's question piqued my interest. "Which one?" Mitch asked. "That taller one with silky hair that sometimes covers his eyes. He's been taking all the girl's attention because of his cooking skills and handsome face. Even I could fall in love with him." Jackson said as he placed his arm on Taic
Trapped in Lace Chapter 31 - Some Kind of Protagonist
I was confused at first, but I'm thankful at the same time for what Ezra did. Even if it was Dwight, I don't want anyone to touch my face without permission. And I don't think I would let anyone touch me even if they ask for permission. Although I don't understand Ezra's purpose for doing that. Dwight laughed. "What was that for?" As he stared at Ezra's face, which looked like it was about to explode. "N-Nothing. Let's just finish this." Ezra averted his gaze and continued cooking our food. The more I watched them, I couldn't help but think that I was thankful for having them in our class since we could eat something delicious. I could already smell the fragrant scent coming from the kitchen.
Trapped in Lace Chapter 32 - What Kind of Story Is This?
"That's right. I'm sorry I got you in this situation." My eyes were slowly adjusting to the darkness, and the light above somehow helped me see Ezra a little. I saw how he stood up from the ground and started brushing the dust off his clothes. "Can you stand? I'll help you." Ezra extended his hand and gently pulled me up, but I felt a sharp pain on my leg, which caused me to fall back on the ground while groaning. What is this? Why am I injured all of a sudden? Did I twist my foot before I landed? But isn't this becoming a poorly written teen drama? And am I the protagonist? If this is what I think it is, I would rather be a side character. Wait, why am I even

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.

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.
