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

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.   

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

Alexis's POV  Mitch 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

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
