She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Cameron thought, Childhood engagement? Hearing their chatter, she slowly turned her head, her face turning icy cold.

Just those words–childhood engagement“-made her feel sick to her stomach. It was exactly those casual, meaningless words that had doomed her to a tragic fate in her past life from the moment she was born.

Eighteen years ago, both the Wallace family and the Chapman family had been powerful and influential in Viremont.

The two families were close. Cameron’s mother, Heidi, and Amelia’s mother, Kate Chapman, had been pregnant at the same time and had agreed that if one had a boy and the other a girl, they would become in–laws.

At first, whether that actually happened hadn’t really mattered. But then disaster had struck the Wallace family, and as they had fallen from power, that vague promise had suddenly become their last lifeline.

The Wallace family had gone around boasting about a marriage alliance with the Chapmans. The Chapmans, not wanting to lose face- even though they already had looked down on the Wallaces–had felt they couldn’t go back on their word.

The Chapman baby had been born first–a girl. That meant Cameron had to be a boy. But unfortunately, she wasn’t. Her insane parents, Martin and Heidi, had immediately decided to raise her as a boy.

When the time was right, they would arrange for her to undergo gender reassignment surgery, fully turning her into a man, just to secure the marriage alliance and cling desperately to the Chapman family without the slightest bit of shame.

As the memories came rushing back, the chill on Cameron’s face deepened.

Noticing her face darken, the group of girls tugged at each other and quickly slipped away, whispering, “Let’s go.”

Not wanting to get dragged down by bad memories, Cameron shook her head, the motion smooth and sharp.

“He really is kind of hot, one of the girls muttered, glancing back

Another added, “Yeah, well, too bad he’s already taken by the most popular girl in our school.”

Cameron headed straight to her advisory teacher Brody Graham’s office and asked politely, “Mr. Graham, I’d like to stay on campus. Could you help me get a spot in the dorm? Cameron got straight to the point.

She definitely wasn’t going back home. That place wasn’t her home–it was a cage. And she was never part of that family, she was just a pawn on their chessboard.

Cameron scoffed inwardly, ‘What my parents want is a son who can marry into a powerful family. Too bad I’m a girl. I’m useless to

Brody adjusted his glasses and said, “The SATs are just around the corner, and you’re still behind. Living on campus might be good for you more time to study, I’ll check with the Academic Office,”

Cameron stayed quier, thinking, ‘Behind‘ Please. I’ve been holding down the last place like it’s my job”

However, she’d be living in the boys dorm. But after dressing like a guy for over ten years, she figured she could pull it off. She didn’t think there was anything to worry about.

Cameron took the slip to the dorm manager’s office to check in. The dorm manager stared at the room number, looking a bit surprised. “Room 316?”

Cameron nodded. “Yeah. Is there a problem?”

The dorm manager opened his mouth, hesitated for a second, but ended up saying nothing. He just handed her a set of bedding and lincol
