Winning My Ex-Crush 111: Let's Go to Prom!
Fenella’s POVThe doorbell rang, and I immediately ran out to open the door. Laird stood before me in a dark gray tuxedo, matching gray pants, black shoes, and a cream-colored tie. He slicked back his dark blonde hair. He carried a large bouquet of roses for me, like a prince.Good gracious Lord! He was so handsome!"Hi, Laird!" With a rapidly beating heart, I grinned widely at him."Hi, wow, Fenella." Laird smiled, and he gazed at me for a long moment. Was he captivated? Maybe."Your blonde hair is back." He spoke with a broad smile and fixed his gaze on my face."Yeah, I wanted to look a little different than before." I blushed shyly."It suits you so well. Just like the Fenella I used to know in a more mature version." He chuckled, and my face grew warmer with embarrassment."Oh, this is for you." He handed me the bouquet of roses."Oh, my goodness, Laird. It's so beautiful. Thank you." I took the bouquet with a wide smile and examined each pink-white petal."You're prettier than t
Winning My Ex-Crush 112: Surprise!
Fenella’s POVThe host suddenly announced the start of the special session. The music blared, and everyone cheered loudly."Everyone can buy voting tickets at the ticket booth! Vote as much as you can to support your friends!"Finally, the special session arrived. This was the moment I had been waiting for. Despite being the last in line, I felt that it was best to start as soon as possible. If necessary, I wanted to overtake Amy's session so that Laird wouldn't have to bother answering her anymore."Hey, Laird, I have a surprise for you." I said this to Laird as we rested at the edge of the dance floor."What surprise?" Laird asked curiously."I can't say it now, but will you wait for me?" I asked Laird with pleading eyes."Are you going to leave me alone here?" Laird raised an eyebrow."Just for a moment. I promise." I assured Laird."Whatever. I don't guarantee I'll still be at this event if you leave me." Laird grumbled irritably."Hey, Laird. Trust me. I promise, I won't leave yo
Winning My Ex-Crush 113: Amy's Tilted Stage
Fenella’s POVWhile whispering those sorry words in his ear, I still hugged him tightly. Clark's hunched posture made it easy for me to whisper in his ear. He hugged me tightly, as if I were going to leave him forever. He was still crying, and his tears wetted my shoulder.I don't know why, but I understood Clark's feelings. Just like Lloyd, who also hoped to be treated seriously, even though he was younger. Just like me, who really liked Laird. We tried various ways to get attention from the person we liked. We fought for many things to be able to continue being with that person.Some time passed. I faintly heard Clark's name being called by the host for the third session. Leo seemed panicked, and finally the fourth participant stepped forward to replace him.Gradually, his tears subsided. He released the hug and stood up straighter. He wiped his tears from his cheeks several times."I'm sorry, Fenella. I was careless. I should never have listened to Amy." He looked down, tears stil
Winning My Ex-Crush 114: Confessional Stage
Fenella’s POVI stepped onto the stage with a pounding heart. My hands trembled as I reached for the microphone hanging on its stand. From the corner of my eye, I could see that Amy looked annoyed. I could also see hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at me under the bright lights."Hey, everyone. I'm Fenella Baxter," I said nervously.Suddenly, the spotlight moved, this time illuminating Laird. Now I could see him clearly from the stage. His gaze outshone all other gazes, and for me, there was nothing more important than him at that moment."Hi, Laird. You must be wondering why I'm here. Surprise!" I laughed nervously, but no one else joined in."Uh, okay." I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I gazed thoughtfully at Laird, who was also looking back at me from the front of the stage."I'm so glad to be with you, Laird. Since childhood, we've always been together in Boston. We were always together throughout elementary school, and I consider those times to be very memorable." I chuckl
Winning My Ex-Crush 115: A Thin Piece of Paper
Fenella’s POV"A very touching confession. Congratulations, Fenella. You've just admitted to everyone that you're a traitor," Amy hissed."I'm not a traitor, Amy." I stepped forward in front of Skye and bravely confronted Amy."For years, I held myself to give you the chance you asked for. But what is the truth? You're the one playing with your own feelings and selling yourself cheap to many boys in school," I said, squinting at the bitch."Then why didn't you hold yourself this time? Why did you have to ruin my last moment in high school? Why do you always, always, again, and again, disturb me and Laird from being together?"Amy's voice grew louder with each emphasized word. Her teeth chattered, and I knew she was trying to control herself to maintain her image in front of people.Oh, damn! She's so angry, but I don't give a fuck!"I'm done lying to myself, Amy. I won't apologize if Laird chooses me later," I said.I am still firm in my stance against her."What? So you still think L
Winning My Ex-Crush 116: The Cold Night
Fenella’s POV"I—" I tried to speak up to defend myself, and the host immediately handed me the microphone."Where will you donate the donation money, Fenella? Do you have any idea?" he asked."I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth! It's all from my heart, Laird!" This time I defended myself, but he still refused to move away from Amy's side."Okay, calm down, Fenella." Leo stepped onto the stage and immediately led me down."No! This isn't true! I spoke the truth, Laird! Laird!"I tried to resist Leo and reach for Laird, but Leo's body was bigger and stronger than mine. After I descended the stairs, some of the committee members also held me back. They dragged me to the committee room."Stay here! Okay? Don't mess around anymore!" Leo scolded."But—""Fenella, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought you would embarrass Amy. You said that Laird would choose you over her, but it turned out the other way around." Chris sighed."But I told the truth! Laird went to prom with me! He picked
Winning My Ex-Crush 117: All This Time
Laird’s POVFenella and I were still sitting on the balcony. Even as night fell, we devoted our time fully to understanding each other. I was already on my third cigarette.At first, I thought I wanted to bury all the bad memories from high school, but it turned out that those feelings kept piling up. Resentment and trauma remained. So, I gave Fenella and myself the chance to talk about it. There was no need to avoid or hide the frustrations I'd been holding onto for so long.Now, I felt certain that we wouldn't be able to maintain this relationship if we didn't openly confront our emotional wounds."That's how I've felt all this time, Laird. In my view, you have always disappointed me. You always chose to distance yourself and leave me when things got bad.""I think I want to face my feelings properly. I want our relationship to succeed, so I know now it's time to resolve all the grudges and mistrust I have towards you." She looked at me as I processed everything she had said."If af
Winning My Ex-Crush 118: The Fake One
Laird’s POVCome on, even if she said her name multiple times, I would still try to forget it. I didn't know why she thought I would welcome her feelings. Again, I didn't want to be full of myself, but she always bothered me, whether in classes or on the baseball field.Well, I have to admit, she was physically attractive. I even thought she looked a bit like Fenella. Her hair was bright and straight blonde, just like Fenella's. However, her lips were too thin for my taste. Her blue eyes were darker, unlike Fenella's bright irises, like a summer sky.In terms of body language and personality, I never liked Amy. If I had to write down all the differences between Amy and Fenella, it would probably take me at least 24 hours to finish.Even so, I still tried to be nice to Amy because she seemed to be Fenella's best friend. Although I didn't know why she insisted on being friends with Amy, I respected her decision."Laird, I didn't know you were alone. Would you like me to accompany you to
