All Chapters of Trapped in Lace: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kim helped me get in the van and even gave me a towel to wipe my sweat. “Was everything alright? Your face is flushed.” She asked as she looked at the rear-view mirror to observe my face.    I smiled and shook both of my hands. “It was just hot outside.” Kim didn’t bother asking anymore, though I don’t know my face is flushed too. It’s great that Kim’s the type to not pry on things that I don’t want to talk about much.    “Here, you might catch a cold if you don’t wipe your back too.” She gave me another towel which caused me to smile brightly. I don’t know. I just did it like how Lia would usually do it.    Kim started the car as I looked out of the window. I didn’t notice that I’ve been sighing, which made Kim ask me again. “Is there anything wro

Even if I was mad, I didn’t know what to do, and all I did was wait for Monday to come. And today, I have other things to think about because I will be playing as the official setter of the team, and the training is not a joke.    “I’ll just give this to Mr. Mantovan, and then I’ll follow you.”   I quickly shook my head with what Mitch said. He tilted his head as if confused. “Is there anything wrong? Are you going to skip today’s training?”   I shook my head again. “I’ll accompany you.” Mitch made a face of realization as he smiled. We both went to where Mr. Mantovan was. It’s the right choice since I could already feel Devon’s negative aura coming from the clubroom.    If he’s going to pun

The shock was drawn in Mitch's face as he moved back. "No! It's not your fault— I lost my temper. That's why I ended up like this. None of this is your fault." I could feel how he was getting anxious and panicky with the way he said that. But then he stopped. "How? How did you know that?"   "I heard them yesterday. Carlos and Devon. On my way to the restroom, I heard what Carlos said. That, I was the reason why you reacted like that. I don't want you to end up like this. I didn't want them to be mean to you too." I balled my fists. "Even if I look like this, I'm glad that you consider me as your friend."    I was confused when Mitch, out of the blue, showed an ugly expression. That's when I realized that he was trying to suppress his tears. "You're so kind. I like you so much." He pulled me into a hug, and I could feel

I nodded since I didn't even know that my face's flushed.    Zaki chuckled, which made me look at him. "I notice that you only talk to Mitch, which makes me wonder if you don't like any of us from the class." He gazes at me, but I grow flustered since I remember his initial question.    "Oh, but don't feel pressured to answer my question. It's just thought since you and Mitch are both new here in the academy, I thought I should help you two to get comfortable."   I wonder why he's kind to me though? There are no benefits for him since I don't excel in anything. If someone had benefits, that would be me since he's the class monitor and intelligent. Zaki's liked by everyone and the kindest guy in our class.   

Jackson laughed again because of Mitch's still angry expression. "Calm down, Mina."    I raised an eyebrow. "Mina?"   Jackson heard me, which caused him to nod. "Mitch Nathaniel." He giggled as he faced Mitch again. "I'm sorry, okay? I'll give you something else." He then sat back on his chair.    We heard him rummaging through his bag and the annoyance in Taichi's voice. I don't know what's happening in front of us. That's why I don't understand the reason for Taichi's annoyance. Maybe Jackson's super clumsy that he keeps hitting Taichi with something?   Jackson suddenly threw something in our way, which Mitch quickly caught. "I bought that for the two of you." He smiled as he peaked in our
