Chapter 322
The moment Xander spotted Elijah and Austin hot on Cameron’s heels, his eyebrows knitted together. “What are you two doing here?”
Elijah plopped down across from him. “Since when is the library off–limits to me?”
Xander gritted his teeth, thinking, ‘Fine, I’ll let it slide since I got the info about Cameron from him yesterday!
Austin squeezed in beside Elijah while Cameron settled next to Xander. Without a word, she flipped open the textbook and got straight to tutoring,
Xander stared at her, then stared some more.
Cameron scowled. “Quit gawking. What’s your problem?”
He propped his chin on his hand. “Nothing to fill me in on?”
“Like what?”
Xander was speechless.
She rapped her knuckles on the page. “Eyes on the book. We’ve got work to do.”
With a huff, he dropped his gaze.

Cameron had been counting down the days. Finally, she’d get to visit Pearl.
She wondered how it was holding up at the zoo.
The second Cameron stepped into the dorm, Bradley’s text popped up: [Meet me. We’re heading home together.]

“Brad’s coming too,” she said.
Austin’s smile faltered for a second, then he nodded. “Sure thing.”
Once he grabbed his stuff, they headed for the garage.

“Everyone bailed?” he muttered.
Right on cue, Bradley walked in.
“I thought you left,” Elijah said.

“I’m grabbing my bag.” Bradley walked to his bed and slung his crossbody over his shoulder. “See you later, Eli
Elijah just stared as he left.
Bradley entered the underground parking garage and immediately spotted Cameron and Austin standing by his car. Austin was grinning ear–to–ear, chatting animatedly with her.
That sight made Bradley’s brows twitch. He strode over. “Austin, why are you here?”
“Brad, he’s coming with us to see Pearl at the zoo,” Cameron explained.
Bradley was stunned.
Austin turned to him with a hopeful look. “Hey, mind if I hitch a ride?”
