Chapter 71 - Alone
Alexis’s POV
I ran towards my room with my heart beating louder as if trying to escape from my chest. The fear I wanted to let go before quickly crept back into my mind and heart, and now I don’t want to leave this house anymore. There’s no escape from this. Ezra saw it.
Ezra saw me; he’ll think I’m weird. He’ll realize how much of a disgusting person I truly am. He’ll hate me.
“Ion?”
I ignored Alina’s voice, and as soon as I got inside my room, I locked the door and burst out crying. There’s no reason for me to cry like this, but remembering Ezra’s shocked expression made me feel even more fear. He hates me.
“But I don’t want him to hate me.” I lost my strength, and my body just fell to the ground as I continued my

The day has finally come. I need to attend school again. The School festival's over, and we're back to regular classes. I'm scared. I don't want them to see me; I don't want to talk to anyone. I want to disappear. However, I still arrived in front of the main gate as early as I usually do. There's no morning practice for today. The coach didn't say why but he didn't say we'll have one either. I took a deep breath as I continued walking towards the academy grounds. I could still remember what Jasper texted me the other day. That he told Ezra the truth about me being Lia. It wasn't his place to say that, but I couldn't blame him either. It must be frustrating to watch me hide that from the people close to me. Well, at least I thought they were close to me. I know it's not going to be okay, but I'm here anyway. On my way towards our classroom, I couldn't look up as I felt
Trapped in Lace Chapter 73 - Running Away
It was me. I'm the problem all along. Why am I even wondering now? It's always me. I should leave this place before I completely destroy everything. If I keep up with this team, I will be a hindrance to their success. That's it. I need to transfer schools.I arrived home and was surprised to see Lean already at home. What great timing she has, really. "Lean," I called up to her name, making her look in my direction. She smiled and walked towards me."What is it, little brother?"I gulped. I don't know if Lean will allow this, but I have no one other than her to ask about this. "I want to transfer schools." Lean's forehead creased after hearing that. She tilted her head as she crossed her arms. I thought she was going to ask me more questions, but that didn't happen."Okay. I'll sign the transfer documents."That's it? I thought she'd scold me or that she might a
Trapped in Lace Chapter 74 - Away From Me
With that, I told coach Alfred that I wouldn’t be able to attend the training because I would work. That was the first time I told the coach and my teacher that I was working. They didn’t ask me about it, and I don’t really want to talk about it either. “Do you want me to inform your teammates?” Coach Alfred asked before I left the counseling room. “N-No, coach. Please don’t tell them.” Coach Alfred was hesitant, but he sighed and said. “Fine. But I don’t think this news wouldn’t reach them. And if it does, I don’t know how to help you.” I nodded with that. Even though I selfishly decided this on my own, the coach and Mr. Mantovan still care about me, which I appreciate. I bowed my head to both of them, but I remembered something. “Sir, can I skip the remaining classes? I need to go to work as soon as possible.” Mr. Mantovan was hesitant too, but as kind as he was, he
Trapped in Lace Chapter 75 - Cat's Out of the Bag
Mitch’s POV I don't understand. Did I do something wrong to Lexi? Is that why he doesn't want to be my friend anymore? "Why?" "What do you mean?" I almost had a heart attack when I heard a voice behind my back. I had alone time for lunch on the rooftop, and a sudden voice interrupted my thoughts. When I turned around, I already felt tired of learning who it was. "I'm not in the mood to play with you. Leave me alone." I said to Royce as I turned back to the view of the academy grounds below. The weather's great, too lovely, yet I'm all alone. Royce didn't say anything as he sat on the floor and leaned on the railings. Why is he even here? Can't Royce stop invading my personal space like this? I sighed since he looked like he wasn't going to leave, then I might as well try to find another place where I could be alone. I
Trapped in Lace Chapter 76 - I Like You
Alexis’s POV My hands were trembling, and cold sweat started to break out from my temples. “I… I-I’m not obligated to tell you the reason.” Mitch looked like he was dumbfounded by my answer. “Seriously? You’re going to say that now? Do you really hate me now?” He sighed as he didn’t know where to look. “I don’t understand. Before the sports festival happened, we were all good before I injured myself. So how come we’re like this now?” I balled my fists as I didn’t know what to say. Mitch shouldn’t be suffering like this because of me. He doesn’t deserve pain, unlike me. “I… I don’t want to stay here anymore.” That was the only thing I could say. If I talked about how dirty of a person I truly am, Mitch wouldn’t simply hate me. He’ll despise me. Mitch sighed. “You’re going to hurt me like this without even explaining why?” I stood still

I blinked thousands of times after hearing what Ezra said. "I-I'm a boy." Ezra's face turned red as he covered his mouth with the back of his hand. "I already know that." He said while averting his gaze. W-What's going on? "Stop kidding around. That won't make me stay— I have already decided." That's right. Ezra's joking with me. He's trying his best to make me stay, even lying to me. Ezra sighed as he crouched while hiding his face. "I'm not lying." He said as if liking me was the truth. "I really do like you. And why your secret doesn't matter to me because I will keep on liking every bit of you. No matter what you do." He stood up while panting as if he had just run a marathon. Wait… Ezra's saying some bold stuff right now. Shouldn't he stop pranking me like this?I placed my hand on my chest as I could feel it beating louder than usual. "I-It doesn't matter
Trapped in Lace Chapter 78 - Love Yourself
Ezra went silent again. It's no surprise since what I'm saying isn't something ordinary people would do. "Now, do you still not find me disgusting?" I couldn't help but ask. "I will never find you disgusting. Instead… I feel like you should stop doing that, but I'm not in the position to say anything." I already know that. Even my parents are saying that to me. "It's too late now." "Why?" I gulped. "I feel like I wouldn't be able to survive if I stop doing that. Wearing girls' clothing makes me feel alive, and being Lia helps me wear those things as her. It's weird, but that's the only thing that could calm me." "Then why not wear it without pretending to be Lia? It's only clothes. There's nothing weird with wearing whatever you want." Ezra said. "So what do you say? Do you want to come back to the team?" Sometimes I
Trapped in Lace Chapter 79 - A Change of Heart
"I-I'm going to die!" We heard Joaquin scream while still doing the push-ups the coach told them to do. "Coach! I brought Ezra." After Dwight called him, coach Alfred turned to us, and his grim expression lightened while he looked at me with confusion. "Alexis? How come you're here? Did you change your mind?" Coach Alfred smiled as he made the others stop doing the push-ups. "You all can take a rest while I talk to Alexis." Almost all of them sighed out of relief because of that. "Am I great, coach? I brought Alexis back—"Coach Alfred pushed Ezra aside and made me walk out of the gymnasium with him. Leaving Ezra and all of our teammates outside. "How come you're here, Alexis? Did you change your mind? What about your work?" It seems like coach Alfred couldn't wait to hear my answers and chose to bombard me with questions. "E-Ezra…"
