Chapter 313
Milena: [He didn’t say a word. We seriously have no clue what we did to piss him off. Maybe he just can’t stand the sight of us.)
Xander: [That doesn’t make sense.]
Milena: [Mr. Murphy, my face really hurts. I need some rest. Thanks for your concern.]
Xander: [Sure thing. I’ve got a class starting soon. Take it easy.]
Milena was speechless, thinking, ‘Really? That’s it? Did Xander actually not get it, or was he playing dumb? I’m clearly hurting, and he didn’t intend to give me any gifts to comfort me?‘
‘When a girl’s upset, most guys will at least offer a gift–like a bag, some jewelry, or makeup. If not, a care package with tonics will do the trick. Even if said not to come, he could’ve sent someone else with the stuff.
Milena sighed, thinking, ‘All this time pretending to be Cameron, and I’ve gotten nothing in return. There’s no way I’d beg Xander for anything. That will be so embarrassing.‘
After evening study hall ended, Cameron and Elijah walked back to the dorm together. The moment they stepped inside, Austin rushed off to Room 316.
“Cam!” Austin beamed from ear to ear.
Cameron gave a nod in reply.
Elijah frowned at Austin. The guy looked like a total dork, grinning like that.
Ever since Cameron saved him that morning, Austin hadn’t stopped looking at her with that goofy smile plastered on his face. Elijah just rolled his eyes.
Cameron dropped her textbook on her desk with a thud. “Does anyone need the bathroom? If not, I’m hopping in the shower.” She always took forever in
there.
Elijah shook his head. “Good to go.”
Austin sidled up. “Cam, why not shower together? We’ll cut down on time.” I can even help scrub his back,‘ he thought.
Cameron just stared at him, her expression somewhere between awkward and speechless.
“Not a good idea?” Austin’s shoulders slumped.
“Sorry, Austin. I’m not into sharing showers,” Cameron said flatly.
Disappointed but still forcing a small smile, Austin replied, “Sure thing.”
As Cameron turned to the bathroom, the dorm door slammed open.
“You little brat! I knew I’d find you here!” Xander burst in, out of breath.
He’d just checked Class 15 and struck out. He didn’t expect to actually find Cameron back in Room 316.
Cameron scowled. “Where else would I be?”
“Home! Shouldn’t you go check on things?” Xander demanded.
“Can you back off?” Cameron snapped.

Chapter 313
Xander stepped right up to her. “Cameron, don’t give me that! How can you be so cold hearted? With everything that’s gone down hon chilling here?”
Cameron’s brows knitted so tightly they formed a deep crease. Enough was enough.
Austin furrowed his brows. “Xan, what happened at…”
Wham. Before he could finish, Cameron launched herself forward, striking Xander hard on the back of his neck. He crumpled instantly, crashing onto the floor with a bone–jarring thud.
“Finally,” Cameron muttered, stalking into the bathroom with a blank face.
