last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

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"What happened to your eyes? They look disgusting."I heard Arata saying towards Mitch as soon as we woke up. That's how my attention was grabbed by Mitch's appearance. I knew it. He was really crying yesterday at the lockers towards the bathroom. But why would he be crying? Did he and Royce get in a fight?"Stop playing around and tidy up your mattresses," Armin told us, though I already finished with mine. "Oh, Alexis, you can follow the others outside now. Eat well." He said to me and patted my back, making me go out of our room. Although I was worried about Mitch, I didn't need to. Mitch doesn't need me anyway."Alexis."After hearing someone call me, I turned around, and there I saw Joey. "You're going to eat too? Can I come with you?" I nodded with that; even though we're not that close,

    "Ah!"I grunted as I knelt on the floor after all that running we did. "I think… I might die today." I said with blurry vision, but Ezra pulled me up while laughing. Is this entertaining him? Seeing my disheveled look? While I look at him, he doesn't look like he ran like us many times. Why is it so unfair?Our manager appeared out of nowhere, giving us all the drinks we needed. "Royce, here you go," Angelica said to Royce while she gave him a drink. The expression on her face tells that she's head over heels, Royce, though I don't think it bothers Royce. More like he doesn't care at all."Let's all get to the court and start the warm-up," Ezra said as he let go of my hand and started walking in front of us. I looked at my hand and tilted my head. Why did it feel so weird when he suddenly let go of my hand? I should be feeling weird that he was holding my hand, not the other way around.&n

    My wish for the training camp to end finally arrived, but I went through hell before reaching this relief. "I-I don't think I can still go home." We heard Joaquin say while holding onto his waist as he got on the bus. We're all feeling the same after we went through that hell training? I don't think I would want to come back here again.I thought I should sit beside Mitch again, but Joey grabbed my arm and wanted me to sit beside him. I couldn't reject him; he might think I hate him since we're both overthinkers. "L-Lexi, do you know Lia? The famous model." I flinched after hearing Joey ask me that.I tried to hide my anxiousness with a smile. "Yeah, Lia is indeed famous. Why?"Joey giggled as his grip on his phone tightened. "You see, I really like her." I looked at him more clearly, and I saw how genuine his smile and every word he said was. "T-This might l-look obvious, b-but I was a nerd back in mid

    "Huh? What do you mean?"I looked at him with wary eyes, but I just shook my head. "It was nothing. I don't have to think about that because there's this exam that makes me feel like I want to vanish." I said those words as if it was normal for me to talk like that in front of Ezra. When did I start being this comfortable around him that I keep talking more whenever he's around?"Then want me to teach you?"Hearing that was like salvation from hell. "Really? You'll help me?"Ezra laughed all of a sudden, which made my forehead crease. "Uh, why are you laughing?"He wiped the tears coming out of his eyes due to laughter. "It's just— It's rare for you to have that exciting tone in your voice. You would often look at me with sad eyes and as if you're not interested in everything." Ezra said, which made me feel my face heating up."D-Don't get the wro

    “Alexis!” Ezra waved his hand and smiled at me as soon as he noticed me arriving. “Mitch and Royce are here too. Isn’t that great?” I gulped as I slowly made my way in their direction. I don’t know if this is genuinely great since I still haven’t apologized to Mitch. Even though I felt awkward in Mitch’s presence, I sat down beside Ezra and tried my best to not catch Mitch’s attention. He must really hate me now. I don’t think I could still fix our friendship, but even if that’s the case, I still need to apologize to him for what I did. “Since we don’t have practice later, shall I fetch you after class? We can go home together.” Ezra said while we ate, but our conversation was quickly interrupted when two more people arrived on the rooftop. “Oh? Lexi!” Joey immediately smiled after seeing me. “So you also eat here, Lexi? Can I join you?” He asked with too much enthusiasm, an

    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. I don't kn

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.
