Ezra's POV
These days, Alexis's being weird. He would always stare at me and even glare at me. As if Alexis's watching my every move and would even follow me wherever I go. I act that I don't notice him, but he's too cute for me to not notice.
Even if he tried to hide from the back of a wall or something, I could still feel his presence. I like it when he's paying attention to me like that, but my heart won't be able to handle it if he keeps staring at me with those cute and round eyes during training.
We even started going home together after training. It gives too much bliss to my heart that I'm thankful for whatever reason Alexis has to be with me all the time.

Alexis's POVMitch and I were on our way towards the cafeteria until Mitch suddenly stopped walking. I bumped into his back because I was following him from behind. "Isn't that Ezra?" I looked in the window where Mitch pointed his finger.There we saw Ezra in the backyard with a girl. I squinted my eyes and realized that it was the same girl I had seen with him before when they arrived back from their class trip. That time when I tried to call Ezra's name, but that girl appeared out of nowhere.We saw how Ezra laughed and patted the girl's head as if it was normal for him to act like that in front of her. "I thought Ezra's afraid of women? How come he looks comfortable touching and looking at that girl? As if he's in love with h
Hearing Ezra says that makes me feel like I was rejected, and it didn't feel good. Not at all. Coach Alfred decided to end the practice with that since the others were also having trouble focusing. I thought I would receive some hate comments from Devon and his friends again, but they ignored me and just went with what the coach said. That's strange. It's not like Devon and his friends to be like that. Shouldn't Devon be blaming me for my incompetence? I can't even deny that because I was easily distracted by things that don't even matter that much. "Should I come with you until your house?" Mitch asked that as we were on our way towards the gate. We finished changing clothes as so
Alexis's POV "Ion! Look at the lake. It's so pretty!" I couldn't stop smiling as I watched Lia run towards the nearby lake not far from our cabin. Mom and dad took the whole family on a trip to the cabin they initially brought for our family whenever we wanted to have a vacation or just have peace of mind. It's great to be away from the city like this. There are no bullies here. "Be careful. You might fall." I reminded Lia as she kept running, but she just giggled at me. "It doesn't matter even if I do fall. Didn't you know that I'm the best swimmer in our family?" Lia giggled. "Of course, you'll know it. You're my other half. There's nothing
After that incident, I overlooked the time flying, and the first week of August had already passed. My plan about watching Ezra all the time failed because he's with Irish every single day. I didn't want to disturb their time together, so I couldn't watch over his actions. Even though he said their relationship is fake and he's doing it to help Irish, I couldn't stop sighing. We're also already preparing for the preliminary stage of the competitions. We'll be joining the August boys' high school volleyball competition. Though I still do some modeling works whenever I have free time. Speaking of that, Jasper's been hanging around with me after that incident with him. He learned about my secret, remember? It's like he wanted to get closer to
I once again took a deep breath. Even though I kept telling myself that I didn't feel nervous, I could still feel my heart beating faster than usual. Is it because of the excitement? I don't know. All I could hear was the cheers of the people all over the arena. And the sounds of the buzzer that they're testing before the game starts. We'll be playing with many players here, and I know they're all here to win. As I was roaming my vision, I felt someone's arm on my shoulder, which caused me to flinch. "Don't feel nervous. We're all here with you, so just trust us and toss the ball like how you usually do." Ezra said with his usual bright and cheery smile. Does he not feel nervous at all? It must be because he's used to playing in this kind of place and with this kind of atmosphere. There's no way it'll make him feel nervous when he's born to be on this stage. I apprecia
My forehead creased. “D-Do I know you?” This man didn’t let go of my arm as he moved his face closer to mine, which caught me off-guard.W-What’s going on? Who’s this person?“P-Please let me go!” I unintentionally raised my voice because of how scared I was with this unknown man still holding my arm. It was too fast, but all I knew was Ezra pulled me away from the man, and he hid me behind his back.How did he get here that quick?“Is there a problem here? Do you know him, Alexis?” I shook my head as I still could feel fear enveloping my whole body. The grasp of that man on my arm left a visible bruise. But what I can’t understand is why someone would pull my arm like that? It would have been understandable if I’m Lia right now because she’s famous, but I’m Alexis. The nobody. There’s no reason to do something like that to a nobody like
"Lexi!" I turned around after hearing that voice. It was Mitch. He ran towards me with his usual bright smile. He was still crying yesterday; what happened to him? "Until when are you going to be gloomy? Let's welcome this brand new day and be happy." Mitch said while we walked towards our classroom; he sounds like he's faking it, but I didn't mention it since he must be having a hard time. I haven't seen Ezra for a while now, and I couldn't even get mad at Jasper for what he did because I was too occupied with our loss. "Cheer up." Mitch pats my back as he says that. I can see how hard it is for Mitch to say that to me because he's also blaming himself for why we lost the last match. Mitch was put in as a pinch server since coach Alfred saw something about his serves and wanted to use it as a weapon, but Mitch failed a couple of times. He was depressed as soon as the competition was over.
Dismissal arrived, and since we don't have club activities for today, we can go home early. "I'm sorry, Lexi. I really need to go to the science lab because of that incident." Mitch said while rubbing his palms in front of me and having this apologetic expression on his face. I chuckled as I pat his shoulder. "Don't worry. It's not like I can't go home on my own, or do you want me to wait—" Royce wrapped his arm around Mitch's shoulder. "No need Alexis. I'm going to accompany him." With that, I bid them my goodbye. I checked my phone before leaving the classroom to see if Lean texted me about Lia's schedule. I already told her that I wouldn't don't have practice for today, and she didn't say anything, so I thought she'd be texting me the details. Guess I don't have anything to do for today. Maybe I should try the new clothes I ordered the order day, it came as soon as I orde
