Chapter 81 - Preparation for the Annual School Festival
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As 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

"Isn't that great? Don't worry about us, Alexis. You should go." Zaki said as they all made me go towards Ezra.I'm not even worried about them; I'm worried about myself.With that, Ezra held my arm and gently pulled me to wherever he wanted to go. "W-Wait." Ezra stopped walking and turned to me. His smile didn't vanish as he tilted his head. "What is it?" "I… I want to watch Miss Ravenwood pageant." Ezra's eyes widened as if he just remembered it now. "That's right! How dare I forget about it. Let's go and support Mitch." I nodded to what he said, and the two of us made our way towards the gymnasium. However, he still didn't let go of my arm! Why is he not letting go? Does Ezra think that I might run away from him? Am I a prisoner of his or something like that? "Uhm… can you let go of my arm?

“Do you like sweets? I know a café where they sell delicious baked goods.” Ezra’s smiling from ear to ear, which causes me to smile back at him. “Hmm. I like sweets, but I prefer salty foods. My favorite is cheese.” “Really? I know they also have baked goods made out of cheese. We should check it out.” I nodded thousands of times. If someone ever wanted to kidnap me, they should just use cheese to lure me in, which would be a total success. That’s how crazy I am for cheese. Don’t ask me why I don’t know either I just love it! Ezra and I walked down the hallway with other people walking around us. Some are giving flyers as we pass by their booths, and some laugh around with their friends. So this is how a school festival feels like? It’s really festive, and it makes my heart feel bliss. Except for the fact that I’m with Ezra right now, and he’s th

Ezra and I went inside the horror booth, but it wasn't scary like I thought. I'm not really fond of scary things, but this one I don't hate at all. "These things look interesting. Do you think they'll let me borrow this after the school festival?" I turned around to see Ezra holding the skulls decoration that he picked up from the ground."I think they'll make you pay if you want it."He laughed, but it didn't take long until he stopped because someone suddenly appeared in front of us. Ezra flinched, and so did I as I moved closer to him because I admitted that I was scared."We should start moving towards the exit," I suggested. I don't even know why I wanted to get inside this horror booth when I know how much of a scaredy-cat I am in real life.I didn't even notice that I was already clinging to Ezra's uniform while I walked right behind him. "Are you scared?" Ezra asked, w

Even though the school festival continued the day after that so-called school date, I couldn't pay attention to anything at all. I haven't even congratulated Mitch for winning the Miss Ravenwood pageant. It's all because of what Ezra did. He kissed the back of my hand! Who wouldn't feel flustered after that?"Lia? Are you alright? Your face is red."I shook my head to remove all those thoughts concerning Ezra, and I looked in Jasper's direction. "I'm fine. It's kind of hot here." I said an excuse while fanning myself. We're waiting for the camera director to arrive to start the interview."What do you mean hot? The air-conditioners on full blast in this room."I couldn't say anything back to what Jasper said, and so I just let out an awkward laugh while scratching my cheek.Well, that was a failed attempt to hide that I was in a daze."I'm sorry, I'm kind of out o

"Hurry up! I already divided you all into groups since you'll be sharing rooms with each other."We hurried out of the bus because of coach Alfred. Due to the traffic on our way, we arrived later than expected, which explains why the coach's making us move faster. I guess we already have something we need to complete for today."After putting your things in the rooms, change in your clothes and go for a jog towards that hill." Coach Alfred pointed to the hill behind the inn we'll be staying in.Since the others were already rushing, I followed them, and it turned out I was sharing a room with Mitch and Ezra. Even though there are others with us, I feel awkward that I need to stay with the two of them in the same room.I know I shouldn't get controlled by my emotions again. We're here to train anyway, not to play. We all went outside after changing into training clothes, and Ez

Dinner was served, so we all went to the dining area with grumbling stomachs. "I'm so hungry I could eat that hill!" Joaquin said as soon as he got his share of food."Then why don't you eat it? Pay me if you can't." Arata butted in, and the two of them started bickering. I went to the counter and took my food. I might as well sit somewhere else. I don't want to get dragged into their bickering.Without paying attention, I sat beside Mitch, and he didn't mind me at all.When I realized that he was sitting beside me, I really thought that he would leave because of me. I might have thought too great about myself.With all that running, I became famished. I never even thought I could eat a whole bowl of rice and more meat. I've never thought this before since I need to maintain a good body for Lia, though I never really gain weight, so it's not a problem at all."It's nic

The silence following what Ezra said made my ears ring. All I could hear was his breathing mixing with mine, and the cold wind touching our skin made me want to hug myself. However, my body's temperature rose due to the heat I could feel due to what Ezra said.Ezra scratched the back of his head as he laughed. "I know you don't feel the same, which is why I apologize for my insensitive actions the past few days." He said with an expression that I couldn't comprehend."Hey! Alexis."Our eyes went to the bottom of the hill, where we saw Mitch and Royce.Did Mitch just call me Alexis? Even though he's been calling me Lexi before…"It's our turn to take a bath," Royce said. I stood up, and Ezra did the same.The two of us went down the hill while Mitch and Royce waited, though as soon as we arrived at the bottom, Mitch turned around and started walking away.&nb

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.
