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,

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

“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

"Thank you for helping me," I said to Ezra as soon as we got out of his house. It's already nearing 8 o'clock, and we all need to go home. I couldn't tell Lean or Alina about this, but I guess they might think that I just went to practice.  Ezra giggled. "It's no problem. We'll be doing this again until the examination, right?" I nodded to that. Even though I don't want to rely on others, I badly need their help because I suck when it comes to studying.  "Then, thanks for having us," Royce said as he bowed to Ezra and grabbed Mitch away, but I couldn't let this opportunity slip out of my hands. I grabbed Mitch's arm, stopping him from leaving.  Mitch turned to me with a shocked expression on his face. No matter what happens, I will still ask for his forgiveness. I already made up my mind, so don't back out now. "I-I want to talk to you, Mitch."  My grip on Mitch's arm tightened du

     Alexis’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
