Chapter 49 - Game On
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After 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

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

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

"Lexi!" I turned around after hearing that voice. It was Mitch. He ran towards me with his usual bright smile. He was still crying yesterday; what happened to him? "Until when are you going to be gloomy? Let's welcome this brand new day and be happy." Mitch said while we walked towards our classroom; he sounds like he's faking it, but I didn't mention it since he must be having a hard time. I haven't seen Ezra for a while now, and I couldn't even get mad at Jasper for what he did because I was too occupied with our loss. "Cheer up." Mitch pats my back as he says that. I can see how hard it is for Mitch to say that to me because he's also blaming himself for why we lost the last match. Mitch was put in as a pinch server since coach Alfred saw something about his serves and wanted to use it as a weapon, but Mitch failed a couple of times. He was depressed as soon as the competition was over.
Trapped in Lace Chapter 53 - Hang Out
Dismissal arrived, and since we don't have club activities for today, we can go home early. "I'm sorry, Lexi. I really need to go to the science lab because of that incident." Mitch said while rubbing his palms in front of me and having this apologetic expression on his face. I chuckled as I pat his shoulder. "Don't worry. It's not like I can't go home on my own, or do you want me to wait—" Royce wrapped his arm around Mitch's shoulder. "No need Alexis. I'm going to accompany him." With that, I bid them my goodbye. I checked my phone before leaving the classroom to see if Lean texted me about Lia's schedule. I already told her that I wouldn't don't have practice for today, and she didn't say anything, so I thought she'd be texting me the details. Guess I don't have anything to do for today. Maybe I should try the new clothes I ordered the order day, it came as soon as I orde
Trapped in Lace Chapter 54 - Moving Forward
The hangout Jasper wanted to do finally happened, and it didn't come out as he wanted it to. Instead of playing around with me, Jasper and Ezra became competitive whenever they talked to each other. I can't understand their reasons, but they started playing as if it cost their lives."Whoever wins this game will have their alone time with Alexis," Jasper said, which made my forehead crease.Why is this guy using me as a trophy? What would they even benefit from having alone time with me? Constipation due to the awkwardness? Anyway, they had their fun; that's how that hangout ended.With Ezra winning all the games and Jasper became a sore loser. On their last bet, the one who'll win shall be the one that will accompany me home. And since Ezra won all of it, we went home together.It's been so long since we last walked like that with no one but us. It was an awkward yet blissful feeli
Trapped in Lace Chapter 55 - Back on My Feet
It's Ezra. The guy we've wanted to show up for a while now. He's smiling at me, I know he must be feeling all good now, but how come it didn't feel that way the more I stare at his face? I didn't react to what he said and just continued staring at him. I met Ezra yesterday, but why do I feel like it's been so long since I last saw him? Now that I'm staring at him, I think he has lost weight. Is he okay? Ezra chuckled. "Why are you looking at me as if you've seen a ghost?" Basically, he is a ghost. Ezra ghosted all of us. "By the way, what are you doing here? The bell will ring soon; shouldn't you be in class?" He reminded me when I didn't respond with what he said, which made me remember Mitch's strawberry bread. The very reason why I left the classroom and went back here towards the rooftop. I rushed back towards the rooftop and searched for the bread, and thank god it was
Trapped in Lace Chapter 56 - New Captain and a New Team
After Dwight said that, all eyes went in Ezra's direction.So the second years have decided already?Even though everyone agreed with what Dwight said, coach Alfred hesitated as he watched Ezra's expression. He must be on edge because Ezra just came back, and he's already being slapped by that information. The coach might have thought that this was too fast, and Ezra might run away again. That's what I also thought before Ezra and I met on the rooftop. With the unwanted attention, Ezra stood up from sitting on the floor. "I don't think I'm good enough for that position." He said, which didn't surprise everyone. Ezra's a happy-go-lucky guy and free-spirited, which is why I don't think he suits the position as the team captain either. That was if we're not going to mention the fact that he's the best player in our team, and his plays could lead the team on its own. &

Ugh, I feel like I'm going to die. "This could be the reason for my death. Please bury me with happiness." I was surprised to hear Mitch say those words for the first time. He's been doing his best to not complain while we all train, and this is the only time I heard him say something like that. We've had rigorous training the past few weeks, and tomorrow will be the first-ever break from it since it's the first week of September, which means the Sports Festival. "I'm glad I didn't join any ball games. I'm thankful for those who put me in the scavenger hunt game." Mitch said that's also the only game I joined since they wouldn't let the varsity members play ball games if they already belong to the school's official teams. I don't understand why but they said it'll be fair for those who don't play to shine independently. What does that 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.
