2024-10-29 19:42:56Alexis’s POV
Lunch came, Mitch and I went to the roof to have lunch together like usual. Even though Joey wanted to join us, I told him that I'd be talking to Mitch about something important. Although Joey congratulated me for making up with Mitch, he doesn't call me Lexi anymore. Did Mitch tell him anything? I hope not.
Mitch and I ate, and we talked about random things, like how we usually did before. "Uhm, can I say something?" I asked, which made Mitch stop taking a bite on his favorite strawberry bread.
"Hmm? What is it?"
I gulped as I stared at my lunch. "I don't know if it's okay for you to listen to this because it might be too heavy."
I know; I'm still afraid to be hated by Mitch. But I already made the resolve to face things headfirst like Lia. And Ezra made me realize that I am worthy of living the way I wan

I saw how Mitch averted his gaze while I was speechless after hearing what he said.Mitch's gay? This beautiful and kind Mitch? That means he likes men?"I know. It must be disgusting. That's why I wanted to tell you about Ezra. I want you to—"I raised a hand to make Mitch stop talking. "It's not disgusting." Never have I ever thought that liking men was disgusting. "Why would it be disgusting?"That's right… where did we even get the idea that liking the same sex was disgusting? Who made that? I don't understand. These questions filled my mind more than the equations I've been trying hard to learn.Mitch gulped. "I need to say something." He looked as if he was anxious about something. "Remember that time I said I was bullied back in middle school?" I nodded to that. The things that happened to Mitch before were beyond awful. I still remember us staying in the field whi

"What do you mean with a person like you? That guy's way out of your league. You should find someone that can treasure you more than I treasure you." Hearing Mitch says that with such a serious expression makes me giggle.I am the one who's way out of Ezra's league.Ezra's a popular guy and the best player on our team. How could I be in a relationship with him just because he told me he likes me? That's ridiculous, and just like Mitch said, I'll be bullied again. Since Ezra's popular, tons of girls would come in my way and make my life living hell. I smiled as I scratched my cheek. "I don't think someone would treasure me more than you do." "Exactly! Don't believe the words of people. They'll deceive you while playing with your feelings." I laughed too hard, and so did Mitch. Our conversation continued with no conclusion about what I

Ezra stood up and said, "I'll be taking her with me. I like Lia too." Joey and I were confused after Ezra and Mitch started bickering on who likes Lia more.What are they doing? I don't understand."I never expect you two to be Lia's fans too." The oblivious Joey said without stuttering, which made me look at him. "Uhm—" "Lia! I heard you're having guests over!" The door opened with Jasper panting and Lean trying to pull his arm from behind. Jasper's forehead creased. "Ah!" He pointed to Ezra. "You! Why are you here?" He strutted towards Ezra, and Lean couldn't care less anymore.What's with this? Why is Jasper here? Jasper crossed his arm and glared at Ezra. "Why are you here? Didn't you already learn of Lia's—"I immediately kicked Jasper's leg, which made him jump due to pain. "As yo

Ezra’s POV *Before the said study session* “Hey, what’s wrong with Ezra? He’s been smiling like an idiot.” “I don’t know either— but isn’t it normal for Ezra to smile like an idiot?” “I know, but he looks happy. It’s irritating.” I felt someone poking my arm, which made me turn to my right. There I saw Joaquin and Dwight. “What the hell are you smiling about?” Joaquin asked as he sat on my desk without warning. “You look like you’re in love.” “Well, he is in love.” Joaquin turned to Dwight after he said that. “Really? Did you get back with Irish?” I ignored Joaquin’s words. He wouldn’t believe me anyway, so I might as well let him assume things. “Hey? Are you ignoring me? Is this guy serious?” “There’s no wa

Ezra’s POV I cleared my throat as I stood from my seat. “O-Oh, this guy right here is my underclassman,” I said as I took Eyen’s bag from him.Why is he home so quick? I thought he’d be playing in his friend’s house? “Alexis, this is my younger brother. Eyen, this is Alexis.” I introduced them to each other, but Eyen hid behind me as he was uncomfortable with strangers. “Hello there.” Alexis greeted Eyen, but he wouldn’t respond. Instead, his grip on my pants is tightening. This reaction caused Alexis to feel flustered too, and I don’t want him to continue feeling like that, so I have decided to talk to Eyen. I squatted and looked into Eyen’s eyes. “I thought you’d be playing in Shaina’s house?” I asked while caressing his hair. Eyen pouted while still being wary of Alexis. “Shaina said she’ll be
Trapped in Lace Chapter 104 - Nerve-Racking Feeling
Alexis’s POV I could feel my heart beating so fast and gradually getting louder the longer I sat inside Ezra's room. It was filled with Ezra's nostalgic smell, making me feel distracted and in a daze. I might be a pervert for loving how Ezra smells like. Even though he wasn't sure, he even helped me not remember all those tragic things by covering my eyes before. He's too kind."I'm sorry for my sister's attitude," Ezra said as he sat down in front of me. He has a small table in his room to sit on the floor while we put our notes on the table. "She's been like that since forever. I hope you don't mind."I shook my head. "I-It's fine. I'm the one intruding here after all." After saying that, I could feel the awkward atmosphere slapping my whole body. It's because of what I did before! When I stopped Ezra's hand from moving away from my cheek. Why did I even do something so
Trapped in Lace Chapter 105 - Would You Like to Spend a Day With Me?
"I-I'm sorry for falling asleep like that." I immediately bowed my head and apologized. There's nothing I can do. It's my fault why I ended up in this situation anyway, so all I need to do is admit that it is my fault. "I even slept on your bed. That was rude of me." I felt Ezra's hand on my head after I've said that. "It's nothing to worry about. I thought it was cute to see you sleeping all defenseless like that." Hearing those words made me look at Ezra, and there I saw his usual smile. Even though it was dark in the room, and only the light from the window helped me, I knew that Ezra was smiling at me. "I'm sorry." Ezra held my hand, which caused me to flinch. "If you're sorry, then would you like to go on a date with me?" Huh? "W-What?" Ezra opened the lights, which caused me to squint as I adjusted my eyes to th
Trapped in Lace Chapter 106 - Acceptance
The year-end party came without any problem. Although I have another problem, that is, I forgot to give an answer to Ezra's question. Remember that time when I slept over in his house? When he asked me to go on a date with him? It's been more than weeks, and I still haven't given him an answer. More like, I haven't seen him since the announcement coach Alfred made because we were too busy preparing for the year-end party in our own classes. Even though he would often wait for me so that we could go home together, he didn't do that anymore. Did Ezra grow tired of waiting and choose to leave me alone? Wait, isn't this better? I don't have to wonder about my feelings anymore, and I don't have to think about unnecessary things again. That's right… this is how things should be in the first place. The year-end party was going smoothly, and I never even expected Liliana to buy me a lip balm. She was the

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

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.
