Chapter 74 - Away From Me
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56With that, I told coach Alfred that I wouldn’t be able to attend the training because I would work. That was the first time I told the coach and my teacher that I was working. They didn’t ask me about it, and I don’t really want to talk about it either.
“Do you want me to inform your teammates?” Coach Alfred asked before I left the counseling room.
“N-No, coach. Please don’t tell them.”
Coach Alfred was hesitant, but he sighed and said. “Fine. But I don’t think this news wouldn’t reach them. And if it does, I don’t know how to help you.” I nodded with that. Even though I selfishly decided this on my own, the coach and Mr. Mantovan still care about me, which I appreciate.
I bowed my head to both of them, but I remembered something. “Sir, can I skip the remaining classes? I need to go to work as soon as possible.” Mr. Mantovan was hesitant too, but as kind as he was, he

Mitch’s POV I don't understand. Did I do something wrong to Lexi? Is that why he doesn't want to be my friend anymore? "Why?" "What do you mean?" I almost had a heart attack when I heard a voice behind my back. I had alone time for lunch on the rooftop, and a sudden voice interrupted my thoughts. When I turned around, I already felt tired of learning who it was. "I'm not in the mood to play with you. Leave me alone." I said to Royce as I turned back to the view of the academy grounds below. The weather's great, too lovely, yet I'm all alone. Royce didn't say anything as he sat on the floor and leaned on the railings. Why is he even here? Can't Royce stop invading my personal space like this? I sighed since he looked like he wasn't going to leave, then I might as well try to find another place where I could be alone. I
Trapped in Lace Chapter 76 - I Like You
Alexis’s POV My hands were trembling, and cold sweat started to break out from my temples. “I… I-I’m not obligated to tell you the reason.” Mitch looked like he was dumbfounded by my answer. “Seriously? You’re going to say that now? Do you really hate me now?” He sighed as he didn’t know where to look. “I don’t understand. Before the sports festival happened, we were all good before I injured myself. So how come we’re like this now?” I balled my fists as I didn’t know what to say. Mitch shouldn’t be suffering like this because of me. He doesn’t deserve pain, unlike me. “I… I don’t want to stay here anymore.” That was the only thing I could say. If I talked about how dirty of a person I truly am, Mitch wouldn’t simply hate me. He’ll despise me. Mitch sighed. “You’re going to hurt me like this without even explaining why?” I stood still

I blinked thousands of times after hearing what Ezra said. "I-I'm a boy." Ezra's face turned red as he covered his mouth with the back of his hand. "I already know that." He said while averting his gaze. W-What's going on? "Stop kidding around. That won't make me stay— I have already decided." That's right. Ezra's joking with me. He's trying his best to make me stay, even lying to me. Ezra sighed as he crouched while hiding his face. "I'm not lying." He said as if liking me was the truth. "I really do like you. And why your secret doesn't matter to me because I will keep on liking every bit of you. No matter what you do." He stood up while panting as if he had just run a marathon. Wait… Ezra's saying some bold stuff right now. Shouldn't he stop pranking me like this?I placed my hand on my chest as I could feel it beating louder than usual. "I-It doesn't matter
Trapped in Lace Chapter 78 - Love Yourself
Ezra went silent again. It's no surprise since what I'm saying isn't something ordinary people would do. "Now, do you still not find me disgusting?" I couldn't help but ask. "I will never find you disgusting. Instead… I feel like you should stop doing that, but I'm not in the position to say anything." I already know that. Even my parents are saying that to me. "It's too late now." "Why?" I gulped. "I feel like I wouldn't be able to survive if I stop doing that. Wearing girls' clothing makes me feel alive, and being Lia helps me wear those things as her. It's weird, but that's the only thing that could calm me." "Then why not wear it without pretending to be Lia? It's only clothes. There's nothing weird with wearing whatever you want." Ezra said. "So what do you say? Do you want to come back to the team?" Sometimes I

"I-I'm going to die!" We heard Joaquin scream while still doing the push-ups the coach told them to do. "Coach! I brought Ezra." After Dwight called him, coach Alfred turned to us, and his grim expression lightened while he looked at me with confusion. "Alexis? How come you're here? Did you change your mind?" Coach Alfred smiled as he made the others stop doing the push-ups. "You all can take a rest while I talk to Alexis." Almost all of them sighed out of relief because of that. "Am I great, coach? I brought Alexis back—"Coach Alfred pushed Ezra aside and made me walk out of the gymnasium with him. Leaving Ezra and all of our teammates outside. "How come you're here, Alexis? Did you change your mind? What about your work?" It seems like coach Alfred couldn't wait to hear my answers and chose to bombard me with questions. "E-Ezra…"

As soon as I got my hands on my phone, it started ringing, which caught me off-guard and almost made me drop the phone to the hard ground. "Who would call—"I gulped after seeing whose name the caller ID belongs to. "Of course, it's Lean." I prepared to receive a heavy scolding as soon as I answered the call. "Ion?! Where are you?!" I couldn't stop myself from pulling my phone away from my ear because of how loud Lean shouted at me. "We've been waiting for hours here. Are you okay? Did something happen?" I took a deep breath after hearing Lean's voice calming down. "I… I don't want to transfer schools anymore." "W-What?" I took another deep breath. "I said, I don't want to transfer schools anymore. I'm going to stay here in Ravenwood." "Wha— I mean, that's great. But are you still going to work with the VENTURE? Because if you are, come here quick
Trapped in Lace Chapter 81 - Preparation for the Annual School Festival
As soon as I was trying to regain my life balance, the rigorous training made me think about my decisions."Is that all you can do?!"Coach Alfred's voice resonating in my head even after training makes me feel a shiver down my spine. It would have been better to have breaks, but I don't need to worry about that since we'll be having the annual school festival!It's in the second week of October, and today is the start of October, where all students need to prepare for their class's booth. Like what they have in Japanese school, I think?I think I left the house too early again today. Was I getting more and more excited to go to school? The past few days, I have kept arriving first in our classroom since we don't have morning practice because of the rigorous training the team is going through.Although it doesn't feel that bad to walk alone in the path wit

Everything went smoothly after that, except I had trouble helping because of my injured foot, so I was forced to help with the menu instead. Though it's all great since Kent and Elijah were really excellent at coming up with creative ideas for the whole menu. "I think Sanjo and Aries could handle all the cooking for the main dish. But the problem is, desserts aren't their thing." Enzo raised his hand. "Not to brag, but I'm good at baking. I think I could help with that." And so, the planning for the menu ended with Enzo and Taichi helping bake the desserts. "Whose house should we go, to practice cooking these foods?" Kent asked. Sanjo raised his hand. "I think we should do it in the home economics room. It'll be easier." The other agreed. "What? That's boring." Kent said while pouting, so he received a bonk from Elijah, and we all started t

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.
