Chapter 43 - How Hard It Is to Trust Someone
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The photoshoot went well with all the models getting along with me. It's actually fun being in the center of all of them. I truly enjoyed this today, not like the usual that all I could feel was the tiredness.
That's at least while I was with everyone. But as soon as we finished, Jasper excused the two of us. Without giving them any context or proper reason for why we need to be excused simultaneously and even together.
Though hesitant, Kim gave me an 'okay' sign, which relieved me that I wouldn't have to suffer from any issues because of Jasper's compulsiveness.
There's no place for us to talk, but Jasper brought me to the rooftop. This is the only place he could think of? What is this? Some kind of high school drama? "What do you want to

Trapped in Lace Chapter 44 - To Keep Lia's Secret Safe
Monday came, and everything was back to normal, except for the fact that I now keep my eyes on Ezra. At lunchtime, I was watching him from afar while he ate with Dwight and the others. Even Mitch was baffled by my actions, but I can’t hesitate right now. There’s a big chance that Ezra might slip up and say what he saw to Dwight. Thinking about Dwight, he might like celebrities and models, and he might even like Lia too. When that time comes, I should be there to stop Ezra before things get worst. “Why do you keep watching Ezra? Did he do something wrong to you? Wait, isn’t this the first time we’re going to eat in the cafeteria? What’s going on? Hello, enlighten me, please.” I couldn’t answer Mitch’s questions, but I know how curious he’ll becom
Trapped in Lace Chapter 45 - It's Love
Ezra's POVThese days, Alexis's being weird. He would always stare at me and even glare at me. As if Alexis's watching my every move and would even follow me wherever I go. I act that I don't notice him, but he's too cute for me to not notice.Even if he tried to hide from the back of a wall or something, I could still feel his presence. I like it when he's paying attention to me like that, but my heart won't be able to handle it if he keeps staring at me with those cute and round eyes during training.We even started going home together after training. It gives too much bliss to my heart that I'm thankful for whatever reason Alexis has to be with me all the time."Y
Trapped in Lace Chapter 46 - What's Wrong With Me?
Alexis's POVMitch and I were on our way towards the cafeteria until Mitch suddenly stopped walking. I bumped into his back because I was following him from behind. "Isn't that Ezra?" I looked in the window where Mitch pointed his finger.There we saw Ezra in the backyard with a girl. I squinted my eyes and realized that it was the same girl I had seen with him before when they arrived back from their class trip. That time when I tried to call Ezra's name, but that girl appeared out of nowhere.We saw how Ezra laughed and patted the girl's head as if it was normal for him to act like that in front of her. "I thought Ezra's afraid of women? How come he looks comfortable touching and looking at that girl? As if he's in love with h
Trapped in Lace Chapter 47 - Caught a Cold
Hearing Ezra says that makes me feel like I was rejected, and it didn't feel good. Not at all. Coach Alfred decided to end the practice with that since the others were also having trouble focusing. I thought I would receive some hate comments from Devon and his friends again, but they ignored me and just went with what the coach said. That's strange. It's not like Devon and his friends to be like that. Shouldn't Devon be blaming me for my incompetence? I can't even deny that because I was easily distracted by things that don't even matter that much. "Should I come with you until your house?" Mitch asked that as we were on our way towards the gate. We finished changing clothes as so
Trapped in Lace Chapter 48 - Don't Misunderstand
Alexis's POV "Ion! Look at the lake. It's so pretty!" I couldn't stop smiling as I watched Lia run towards the nearby lake not far from our cabin. Mom and dad took the whole family on a trip to the cabin they initially brought for our family whenever we wanted to have a vacation or just have peace of mind. It's great to be away from the city like this. There are no bullies here. "Be careful. You might fall." I reminded Lia as she kept running, but she just giggled at me. "It doesn't matter even if I do fall. Didn't you know that I'm the best swimmer in our family?" Lia giggled. "Of course, you'll know it. You're my other half. There's nothing
Trapped in Lace Chapter 49 - Game On
After that incident, I overlooked the time flying, and the first week of August had already passed. My plan about watching Ezra all the time failed because he's with Irish every single day. I didn't want to disturb their time together, so I couldn't watch over his actions. Even though he said their relationship is fake and he's doing it to help Irish, I couldn't stop sighing. We're also already preparing for the preliminary stage of the competitions. We'll be joining the August boys' high school volleyball competition. Though I still do some modeling works whenever I have free time. Speaking of that, Jasper's been hanging around with me after that incident with him. He learned about my secret, remember? It's like he wanted to get closer to
Trapped in Lace Chapter 50 - Winning Streak
I once again took a deep breath. Even though I kept telling myself that I didn't feel nervous, I could still feel my heart beating faster than usual. Is it because of the excitement? I don't know. All I could hear was the cheers of the people all over the arena. And the sounds of the buzzer that they're testing before the game starts. We'll be playing with many players here, and I know they're all here to win. As I was roaming my vision, I felt someone's arm on my shoulder, which caused me to flinch. "Don't feel nervous. We're all here with you, so just trust us and toss the ball like how you usually do." Ezra said with his usual bright and cheery smile. Does he not feel nervous at all? It must be because he's used to playing in this kind of place and with this kind of atmosphere. There's no way it'll make him feel nervous when he's born to be on this stage. I apprecia
Trapped in Lace Chapter 51 - Distractions
My forehead creased. “D-Do I know you?” This man didn’t let go of my arm as he moved his face closer to mine, which caught me off-guard.W-What’s going on? Who’s this person?“P-Please let me go!” I unintentionally raised my voice because of how scared I was with this unknown man still holding my arm. It was too fast, but all I knew was Ezra pulled me away from the man, and he hid me behind his back.How did he get here that quick?“Is there a problem here? Do you know him, Alexis?” I shook my head as I still could feel fear enveloping my whole body. The grasp of that man on my arm left a visible bruise. But what I can’t understand is why someone would pull my arm like that? It would have been understandable if I’m Lia right now because she’s famous, but I’m Alexis. The nobody. There’s no reason to do something like that to a nobody like

Trapped in Lace Epilogue: My Sun
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.
