Chapter 239 Same Names
Milena clenched her fists so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Inside, she furned, Why is that loser getting all the attention? I’m supposed to be the spotlight all the time. All she will ever be is my background prop. But now, Cameron is the star, and I’m nothing at all.”
Milena clenched her fists even tighter. To make matters worse, her classmates were right next to her, swooning over Cameron,
“Oh my goodness, Cameron is so cool. Even his ID photo looks amazing”
“He was even cooler on the basketball court yesterday. My heart was racing when I watched him.”
“Right? I became his fan on the spot yesterday”
Just then, Xander strolled over with his team.
“Whoa, it’s Mr. Murphy” A few girls squealed and covered their faces, practically starstruck. Everyone stepped aside to make way for him, except Milena, who was too lost in her thoughts to move.
Xander stopped right in front of Milena. With his arms crossed, he looked at the photo of himself and Cameron posted together. The sight brought a faint smile to his face.
“Xan, we only won this time thanks to Cam. How about we treat him to dinner tonight?” Tyrell suggested.
Xander rolled his eyes. “You can go ahead and invite him. I doubt he’ll show up though.”
Cameron had been dodging him these past few days.
Today, the seniors were having their third mock exam, and they’d just finished their language test this morning.
Xander went looking for Cameron, but Cameron had already disappeared. He tried calling and texting her, but all he got back was, “I’m busy.”
‘How busy can a student actually be? Those are just excuses, Xander was fuming just thinking about it.
“Milena, come on. Class is starting,” her classmate reminded her.
The bell rang, but Milena was still fuming, so caught up in her own rage that she hadn’t even noticed Xander standing right there.
It wasn’t until her classmate called her name that she snapped out of her daze.
Xander perked up the moment he heard the name. He looked down, and his eyes landed on a plain, ordinary face.
Milena froze, her eyes widened in panic. She thought, ‘When did Xander get here? Why is he standing right in front of me?‘
Milena quickly dropped her gaze and bolted.
“Hey, why are you running?” her classmate called after her, but she just sprinted faster.
As she ran, she prayed that Xander would not recognize her.
Xander watched her go and smirked. “Man, there are way too many people with that name.”
And he wondered, ‘When did Milena become such a basic name?‘
Tyrell asked, “You know her, Xan?”
Xander shook his head. “Nope.”
Tyrell pressed. “Should I try asking Cameron out tonight?”
Xander said, “If you can actually get Cameron to show up, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head.”
