Chapter 54 - Moving Forward
The hangout Jasper wanted to do finally happened, and it didn't come out as he wanted it to. Instead of playing around with me, Jasper and Ezra became competitive whenever they talked to each other. I can't understand their reasons, but they started playing as if it cost their lives.
"Whoever wins this game will have their alone time with Alexis," Jasper said, which made my forehead crease.
Why is this guy using me as a trophy? What would they even benefit from having alone time with me? Constipation due to the awkwardness? Anyway, they had their fun; that's how that hangout ended.
With Ezra winning all the games and Jasper became a sore loser. On their last bet, the one who'll win shall be the one that will accompany me home. And since Ezra won all of it, we went home together.
It's been so long since we last walked like that with no one but us. It was an awkward yet blissful feeli

It's Ezra. The guy we've wanted to show up for a while now. He's smiling at me, I know he must be feeling all good now, but how come it didn't feel that way the more I stare at his face? I didn't react to what he said and just continued staring at him. I met Ezra yesterday, but why do I feel like it's been so long since I last saw him? Now that I'm staring at him, I think he has lost weight. Is he okay? Ezra chuckled. "Why are you looking at me as if you've seen a ghost?" Basically, he is a ghost. Ezra ghosted all of us. "By the way, what are you doing here? The bell will ring soon; shouldn't you be in class?" He reminded me when I didn't respond with what he said, which made me remember Mitch's strawberry bread. The very reason why I left the classroom and went back here towards the rooftop. I rushed back towards the rooftop and searched for the bread, and thank god it was
Trapped in Lace Chapter 56 - New Captain and a New Team
After Dwight said that, all eyes went in Ezra's direction.So the second years have decided already?Even though everyone agreed with what Dwight said, coach Alfred hesitated as he watched Ezra's expression. He must be on edge because Ezra just came back, and he's already being slapped by that information. The coach might have thought that this was too fast, and Ezra might run away again. That's what I also thought before Ezra and I met on the rooftop. With the unwanted attention, Ezra stood up from sitting on the floor. "I don't think I'm good enough for that position." He said, which didn't surprise everyone. Ezra's a happy-go-lucky guy and free-spirited, which is why I don't think he suits the position as the team captain either. That was if we're not going to mention the fact that he's the best player in our team, and his plays could lead the team on its own. &

Ugh, I feel like I'm going to die. "This could be the reason for my death. Please bury me with happiness." I was surprised to hear Mitch say those words for the first time. He's been doing his best to not complain while we all train, and this is the only time I heard him say something like that. We've had rigorous training the past few weeks, and tomorrow will be the first-ever break from it since it's the first week of September, which means the Sports Festival. "I'm glad I didn't join any ball games. I'm thankful for those who put me in the scavenger hunt game." Mitch said that's also the only game I joined since they wouldn't let the varsity members play ball games if they already belong to the school's official teams. I don't understand why but they said it'll be fair for those who don't play to shine independently. What does that even
Trapped in Lace Chapter 58 - Scorching Sports Festival
"It's too hot."I heard Mitch complain. We're currently on our way to the gymnasium where the basketball game will be held. "Just endure it," I told him, but Mitch continued grunting while fanning himself.Today's weather is extreme, I admit that. The scorching sun outside makes me want to bathe in a large pool of ice water where I can stay cold all the time. Though that's not scientifically possible since I might die due to the cold, I would still prefer that instead of this. At least we're going to stay in the gymnasium and not in the field where it's hotter.I didn't even know my legs could sweat, too; I just discovered it now and could feel my jogging pants getting wet. This is why I hate hot weather; I wish it would just rain, but it'll ruin the games in the field, so that cannot happen. But I would still rather rest than play any more games."GO, ARIES!"T
Trapped in Lace Chapter 59 - Uninvited Guest
I gulped as I nodded. It feels weird, but it might get weirder if I start lying at this point to Irish about what I know about Ezra and Irish's relationship. Irish scoffed, which caught me off-guard. "You're that person? His important person…." I couldn't hear what she said after that. Is she angry at me? Because that's what I feel with how she scoffed like that. Should I be scared now? But why would she be mad at me? Because I know she has a stalker? The silence that came after made me feel a chill come down on my back, and I thought it was the gust coming out of the window, but there wasn't anything coming from there. Only the sound of loud cheers from the field filled my ears, and the hallway we were in was enveloped in silence that I might throw up because of the pressure I'm feeling right now.Is Irish mad at me? Please don't be mad at me.&n
Trapped in Lace Chapter 60 - Do You Like Me?
I gulped as I could feel the floor getting colder as I continued sitting on it.What should I do? What should I say? I don’t know.“Looks like I need to go now since I have a game later.” I tried to get up, but my legs wouldn’t move, so I fell back on my butt as I blinked my eyes thousands of times.Ezra chuckled after witnessing that.How embarrassing!“Do you need help?” He approached me while lending his hand to me, but I couldn’t accept it due to something I didn’t understand. Shy? Why am I feeling shy right now? It’s not like this is the first time we were alone like this.“N-No. I don’t think I can get up for a while.”After hearing that, Ezra sat down beside me and leaned on the wall behind our backs. “Doesn’t this feel familiar? Sitting side by side like this.” He said,
Trapped in Lace Chapter 61 - The Person You Like
I still wanted to bury myself on the ground as Ezra, and I walked towards the field. Why did I dream of something ridiculous as k-k-kissing someone, and worse? That someone is this guy with me, Ezra! “Are you sure you’re fine?” I went back to reality after Ezra checked up on me once again. No matter how much I try to forget about that dream, it’s too vivid, and Ezra’s expressions were the same there too. Isn’t this too unfair? Why is life tormenting me like this? “I-I’m fine. R-Right, how did you know the time schedule for the games?” I tried my best to change the topic because I really want to escape from this place now. “That’s because I’m on the committee. That’s also why I’m just hanging around. There’s nothing for me to do.” Ezra chuckled after he said that. Now that makes sense. Wait, did he sleep with me, or did he just stare at nothing while I was asleep?
Trapped in Lace Chapter 62 - Will Never Be Okay
Ezra raised an eyebrow at what Dwight said as his grip on Dwight's shirt tightened.Ugh, what is this now?"Here! I got the pink bracelet!"Mitch caught our attention as he ran towards us, but another person from the pink team was also running behind him. My eyes widened with what happened next right after.The person behind Mitch pulled Mitch's shirt and made his trip to the ground, which was a nasty fall since it was face first. It made me grimace as I rushed towards him."Mitch!" I called for his name, but I also saw how Royce immediately went in Mitch's direction. "Are you alri—"I flinched after seeing something dripping from Mitch's forehead as he got up from the ground.Red. The only color I fear the most was the last color I saw before losing my life. The life I could have lived with Lia by my side. I lost
