Chapter 36 - The Two of Us
Hearing those words causes me to smile as I avert my gaze. Am I delighted with what I heard? Is this what they call happiness? I actually don't understand, but I can't stop smiling either. "I'm still lacking, but thank you for your compliment."
"But I'm not complimenting you."
I froze after hearing that. W-What? Did I misunderstand things again? Did I assume that he was complimenting me because the word 'amazing' sounds like a compliment?
H-How am I supposed to say anything back now? I don't know what to do. It's too embarrassing to look at him now. This is why I shouldn't assume things too soon.
"I'm just stating facts. Y

I chuckled. I'm slowly getting used to Ezra's presence. "Mitch was the one who suggested to play a game in the first place.""Mitch chose to leave you here? That's super rare."It's not like Mitch should stay by my side all the time. He has his own life to enjoy. "It's good that he's having fun. Mitch's been waiting for this trip with pure excitement and cheers. That's why he's disappointed because of the rain."Ezra nodded as he sat beside me on my bed. "Then what about you? What do you want to do?"I shrugged. What can we do in this weather and this condition? "It's not about what I want to do. There's nothing I can do in this condition. I could only sit here and stare at not

"Really? That's great! I could see how delighted Ezra was even though I haven't let him see Chewy yet. "Uhmm, do you want to see some pictures?" He nodded lots of times after I'd asked him that, but then I remembered that my phone was still charging. "M-My phone's still charging," I said as I pointed to the other desk where I placed my phone since it's near the outlet. "I'll check if it's already full," Ezra suggested as he went towards the desk and opened my phone. "Is this your cat?" He quickly turned to me with a massive smile on his face while holding my phone. Right, I remember using Chewy's face as my lock screen. "So cute! Oh, it's already fully charged."
Trapped in Lace Chapter 39 - Our Walk Home
"Alexis?" I grunt as I hear Lean calling for my name again. What's her problem this time? She always disturbs my sleep as if it's the most normal thing she can do. "Alexis, we're here." I opened my eyes upon realizing that it wasn't Lean's voice. I felt the embarrassment seeping into my body after realizing that I had fallen asleep on Ezra's shoulder, and he was the one calling my name. Wait, did I drool on him?I immediately wiped the corner of my mouth and was relieved after noticing that there wasn't a drool there.Thank goodness. I would have died due to shame if I did dro
Trapped in Lace Chapter 40 - Recuperating
It took me a whole week just to recover from the injury I got from the school trip. Talk about dramatic. Lean told me to rest for a while, so I couldn't work at all, and Lean didn't have any choice but to cancel everything in Lia's schedule without telling anyone about what happened to her. People must be thinking again that she's overly mysterious. Though that's just what I thought— Anyway, Armin became the temporary setter for the team. I'm so glad Ezra helped me explain how that injury happened to me, though it led to them complaining to him. He basically said that it was his fault why that incident happened. All I could do the whole week was watch all of them train on the side. It's not bad at all, watching on the sidelines, that is. I see h
Trapped in Lace Chapter 41 - Lia's Secret in Danger
The next day arrived, and just like what I said yesterday, I paid our family doctor a visit. "Your ankle's fully healed now, but you should still be careful, okay?" Said Doctor Michael. He's our family doctor who is a close friend of mom and dad. He stood up from his seat as he was about to put down his stethoscope, but upon witnessing that I still hadn't left my seat, he looked back at me. "Is there anything else, Ion?" I gulped as I hesitated to tell about my heart disease, or so I think? But I'm getting anxious because my heart gets weird often. "I… My heart feels weird." Doctor Michael grabbed his stethoscope as he sat back on his chair again. "Could you elaborate that?"&
Trapped in Lace Chapter 42 - "Don't Covet What Doesn't Belong to You"
It's not just Jasper anymore. The guy I was trying to find turns out to be the same guy who wants to become my friend. But the good part here is I can watch his every move, and I'll threaten him right away if he ever tries to reveal Lia's secret. That's it, that's what I'm going to do. As long as Ezra doesn't figure out who I really am, then it'll be fine. I can still protect this secret. "Sorry for my brother's mistake." Ebony made Ezra bow his head again as she smiled at me. "We'll go now." I nodded after Ebony said that, and she pulled Ezra, who's still out of it, away from where I was. When they disappeared from my sight, as if something was pulled out of my chest, I could breathe freely again.
Trapped in Lace Chapter 43 - How Hard It Is to Trust Someone
The photoshoot went well with all the models getting along with me. It's actually fun being in the center of all of them. I truly enjoyed this today, not like the usual that all I could feel was the tiredness. That's at least while I was with everyone. But as soon as we finished, Jasper excused the two of us. Without giving them any context or proper reason for why we need to be excused simultaneously and even together. Though hesitant, Kim gave me an 'okay' sign, which relieved me that I wouldn't have to suffer from any issues because of Jasper's compulsiveness. There's no place for us to talk, but Jasper brought me to the rooftop. This is the only place he could think of? What is this? Some kind of high school drama? "What do you want to
Trapped in Lace Chapter 44 - To Keep Lia's Secret Safe
Monday came, and everything was back to normal, except for the fact that I now keep my eyes on Ezra. At lunchtime, I was watching him from afar while he ate with Dwight and the others. Even Mitch was baffled by my actions, but I can’t hesitate right now. There’s a big chance that Ezra might slip up and say what he saw to Dwight. Thinking about Dwight, he might like celebrities and models, and he might even like Lia too. When that time comes, I should be there to stop Ezra before things get worst. “Why do you keep watching Ezra? Did he do something wrong to you? Wait, isn’t this the first time we’re going to eat in the cafeteria? What’s going on? Hello, enlighten me, please.” I couldn’t answer Mitch’s questions, but I know how curious he’ll becom
