Chapter 11
The commotion made the whole class turn their heads. All they saw was the towering Zach being slammed against the desk by Cameron, who was at least half a head shorter than him,
And she was doing it with one hand. Her short hair framed a lazy, almost bored expression, like she wasn’t even trying, yet Zach couldn’t move an inch
Everyone was stunned. Someone whispered, “No way. Cameron’s got Zach pinned? I thought Zach bullied him all the time.”
Another voice chimed in, “Even the quiet ones will fight back when pushed too hard. Zach went way too far this time.”
Someone else said, “Is Cameron crazy? Messing with Zach Zach’s gonna make him pay for this.”
Cameron didn’t care about the chatter. Her voice was cool and sharp as she spoke, “Are you picking it up or not?”
“Like hell I am.” Zach hadn’t expected to actually get pinned by Cameron. The humiliation burned hot in his chest and there was no way
he’d back down
Cameron’s face remained blank. “I’ll give you
you one more chance. I’m counting to three. One”
I said I’m not picking it up. Zach still tried to act tough.
Two Cameron suddenly pressed down harder.
A wave of pain shot through Zach’s skull. It felt like she was about to crush his head. He instantly gave in and yelled, “Okay, okay. I’ll pick it up.
Cameron let out a faint scoff, the sharp curve of her lips laced with mockery. “See? You would’ve saved yourself the pain if you’d just done it earlier, she thought, and let go.
At six feet tall with a basketball player’s build, Zach was no weakling. Fueled by rage, that punch had more than enough force behind it to hurt. The class let out a collective gasp. A few girls even covered their eyes in fright
Cameron then let go of his hand. Zach didn’t dare make another move. He quietly bent down and picked up the textbook he’d knocked off her desk.
