She's the Campus Prince

Xander shot Austin a glare. "If it's not your turn to talk, then keep quiet."

Austin was a little speechless.

Cameron said, "Xander, stop picking on Aus."

Xander replied, sounding jealous, "You two sure sound close, huh?"

Cameron looked exasperated. "I don't have time for you."

After saying that, she walked straight away.

Xander immediately tried to follow, but Austin called out to stop him. "Xan?"

"What?" Xander snapped, clearly annoyed.

Austin said, "Xan, Cam seems normal."

"Normal?" Xander looked confused.

Austin just smiled. "Never mind."

Xander shot him a look. "You're so weird."

With that, Xander hurried off to catch up with Cameron. In the end, he still shamelessly trailed after Cameron.

"Cameron, wait for me," Xander called out.

Cameron stopped and looked at him, her face completely blank.

Cameron was really sharp. She could tell that Xander's attitude toward her had changed so much. It all started when he found out she was actually a girl disguised as a guy.

Cameron got straight to the point and asked, "Xander, you thought Milena was me before, didn't you?"

Xander scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "Milena tricked me."

Cameron shot back, "Yeah, but isn't that just you being dumb?"

"Alright, I'm dumb." Xander nodded.

Cameron hadn't expected Xander to admit it so quickly, and for a second, she

didn't even know what to say.

Cameron turned and sped up, walking away.

Xander hurried after her. "Why are you walking so fast? It's still early."

Their morning self-study started at 6:50 AM, and it was only 6:30 AM now. They still got plenty of time.

Cameron said, "Don't follow me."

Xander sighed, “Okay." He obediently stayed put, watching Cameron walk off into the distance.

Then, as if remembering something, he called out, "Cameron, are you still coming to the library to tutor me at lunch?"

Cameron shook her head. "No need. You don't need tutoring anymore."

If Xander had known, he wouldn't have done so well on that mock exam.

Elijah walked over, gave Xander a quick glance, and turned and left.

"Humph,” Xander scoffed, full of disdain. He didn't want to talk to Elijah either. Xander turned and headed back to Class 10.

At Class 15, Senior Year, Elijah and Cameron sat side by side.

Elijah wanted to ask something, but Cameron's attitude made it clear that she

didn't want to talk. Thus, there was no need for him to ask again

As expected, Xander waited right outside the classroom at lunchtime.

Cameron thought, 'Why is this guy acting just like Milena? He's starting to haunt me too!'

"Cameron, let's go to the cafeteria together," Xander said, coming over.

Cameron frowned. She knew there was no way to shake him off, so she just let him follow.

Elijah stood behind them but didn't come over.

While they were eating, Xander kept asking, "Cameron, where are you going after school?"

Cameron replied with a blank face, "No idea."

Xander asked, "How can you not know? If you're afraid of Samuel, why not just stay at my place?"

Cameron shook her head. "No need."

Xander pressed. "Then where are you going?"

Cameron replied, "Not your business."

'Xander was at a loss for words.

After school in the afternoon, Xander trailed after Cameron, careful not to get too close. He watched as Cameron climbed into Bradley's Mercedes.

Xander wondered, 'Seriously? She left with Brad? What exactly is going on between him and Brad? She's a girl. How can she be so close to Brad?

Xander immediately called Tyrell "Hey, where's your lame car? Lend it to me."

Tyrell laughed and protested, "Come on, my car's not that lame."noveldrama

Xander didn't have time to waste, and he asked again, "Where is it?"

In the end, Xander got behind the wheel of Tyrell's/car and tailed after Bradley's

car.

At first, it was fine-there were plenty of cars on the road. Blending into the traffic, Xander wasn't easy to spot.

But then, Bradley's car started heading out toward the suburbs. Soon, it was just Bradley's car and Xander's left on the road.

Xander frowned as he followed, muttering, "Hope they won't notice me."

But he couldn't worry about that now. He just wanted to see where Bradley was taking Cameron.

Cameron sat in the passenger seat, catching sight of a black sedan in the rearview mirror. She said, "Brad, I think someone's tailing us."

Bradley glanced at the mirror and replied, "Maybe they're just going the same way."

Cameron kept her eyes glued to the mirror, staying silent.

They drove on for another ten minutes or so, but the car behind kept following at a steady pace.

“Brad, I'm sure that car is following us," Cameron said.

Bradley frowned and checked the mirror again. Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes.

Xander hit the brakes hard too, his face darkening. "What the hell?"

If he hadn't reacted fast enough, he would've rear-ended them.

Bradley unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and walked straight toward Xander's car.

Xander instantly got tense and thought, 'Oh crap! Did they really catch me? What should I do now? How am I supposed to explain why I'm following

them?'

At that moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through Xander's mind.

Bradley was already at his window, knocking on the driver's side glass.

Just now, when Bradley walked over, he'd already spotted Xander through the windshield.

Xander had no choice but to roll down the window, grinning at Bradley. "Hey, Brad, what a coincidence."

Bradley's handsome face stayed blank. "A coincidence? Or are you following us?"

"Following you? Come on, Brad, you're overthinking it. I wasn't following you." Xander waved his hands.

Cameron got out of the car and asked, "So, where are you headed?"

Xander looked genuinely surprised. "Cameron? You're here too? Where are you guys going?"

Cameron gave him a helpless look. "Xander, do you even realize how bad your acting is? Just be honest-why are you following us?"

There was really nothing left to say at this point. No point in denying it anymore.

Xander finally admitted, "I just wanted to know where you stay on weekends. You didn't tell me, remember?"

"So you decided to follow us?" Bradley frowned. "Xander, you've seriously crossed the line. This is Cameron's privacy."

Xander shrugged. "Fine, whatever. I've already followed you this far. Cameron,

can you tell me where you live now?

Cameron refused flatly. "No."

Xander protested, "What's there to hide?"

Bradley replied, "That's Cameron's privacy. If he doesn't want to tell you, he doesn't have to."

Xander glared at Bradley. "Are you two ganging up on me or something?"

Cameron's face turned cold. "Xander, turn around and go back. Right now." Xander looked a little hurt. "You're really not going to tell me? Why does Bradley get to know, but I don't?"

"No reason. Just leave," Cameron barked.

Xander looked absolutely pitiful, like Cameron had just bullied him.

Cameron sighed, not saying a word.

Bradley said, "Xander, acting pitiful won't work on Cameron. Just go back."

Xander snapped, "This is between me and Cameron. Pretty sure it has nothing to

do with you, right?"

Cameron said, "Yeah, that's how I feel too."

Xander huffed, "Cameron, why are you always taking Bradley's side?"

Cameron was speechless, too lazy to argue with him. She said, "Anyway, do

whatever you want."

After that, she looked at Bradley. "Brad, let's get back in the car."

Bradley shot Xander a glance and followed Cameron.

Watching Cameron and Bradley get in the car, Xander flashed a triumphant grin, thinking, 'Gave in, huh? Wouldn't it have been easier to do this from the

start?'

But once Cameron and Bradley got in the car, they didn't move.

Xander watched as the sky got darker, frowning. "What are Cameron and Bradley

doing? Why aren't they leaving?"

Inside Bradley's car, Cameron asked, "Brad, can you shake off Xander?" Bradley shook his head. "Xander's great at riding motorcycles, and he's probably just as good with cars. I doubt I can shake him off."

Cameron sighed. She still didn't have her license, so she couldn't drive. It was

illegal.

She helplessly thought, 'Forget it. Gotta keep my cool. Let's see how long it takes

for Xander to finally get the hint and leave.'

Just as Cameron was thinking that, Xander knocked on the car window.

Cameron lowered the window.

Xander said, “I've been waiting forever. Why aren't you leaving?"/

Cameron replied, "We're waiting for you to go first."

Xander frowned. "You're really not going to tell me?"

Cameron said, "Absolutely."

Xander sighed, "Fine."

Looking hurt, Xander turned away and got back into his car. He started the

engine, spun the wheel hard, and made a sharp U-turn. He floored the gas, and

in no time, his car disappeared.

"Let's go," Cameron said.

As he drove, Bradley asked, "What do you think of Xander?"

Cameron replied, "Not impressive."

Bradley smirked. "What does that mean?"

Cameron said, "It means exactly what it sounds like."

Bradley just smiled and didn't say anything. He thought, 'Looks like Xander will be

disappointed.'

Back at Silvermoss Castle, Pearl greeted Cameron with boundless enthusiasm.

After a week apart, it kept nuzzling her leg with its head.

"Good boy," Cameron said, giving its head a gentle rub.

Pearl got even more excited, circling around her.

Bradley laughed. "Looks like Pearl really missed you."

Cameron smiled. "I missed him too."

Cameron was in the middle of dinner when she got a call from Leanne.

Leanne said, "Mr. Wallace, just confirming-you have dinner with our CEO

tomorrow at 6 PM. Will you be able to make it?"

"Sure, I can," Cameron replied.

Leanne then said, "Great. We'll pick you up tomorrow. Could you give me your

address?"

"Just send me the restaurant address. I'll head over myself."

"Mr. Wallace, it's better we come and pick you up."

"Thanks, but I'll go on my own."

"Alright, I'll send you the address soon."

"Okay, thanks."

"You're welcome. It's my job."

Cameron hung up after that.

Bradley hesitated for a moment, but in the end, curiosity got the better of him. He

asked, "Got a date tomorrow night?"

Cameron nodded. "Yeah."

Cameron's answer was way too short. Bradley could tell that Cameron probably

didn't want to talk about it. Bradley picked up on that and didn't push any further.

Right before bed, Bradley got a call from his third brother, Eric. Bradley said, "Hey,

Eric."

“Brad, am I bothering you?" Eric asked.

"Not at all. It's pretty late. Got anything urgent?" asked Bradley.

"I'm coming to Viremont tomorrow. Got time for lunch? Haven't seen you in

forever," Eric said.

Bradley replied, "Yeah, that works."

"You pick the place," Eric said.

Bradley suggested, "How about you come over to my place?"

Wed, 4 Jun

Eric chuckled. "Sure. I heard from Eddie you've got a few fancy houses in

Viremont. Mind giving me a tour?"

Bradley laughed too. "Of course, come check them out."

"Alright, see you tomorrow. Night," Eric said.

"Yeah, good night."

After her shower, Cameron came out and, out of habit, checked her phone, only

to see a flood of messages from Xander.

He was grilling her about why Bradley knew where she lived but he didn't.

Fed up, Cameron shot back: [Because I'm staying at Brad's place. Got it?]

Xander: [You're living at Bradley's? I asked you to stay at my place, and you said no, so why are you staying at his place? Cameron, that's so unfair.] Cameron put her phone on silent, tossed it onto the nightstand, and couldn't be bothered to reply.

Thus, she didn't see any of the messages from Austin or Elijah.....

Elijah stared at the messages he'd sent, but Cameron never replied. Elijah's brows knitted, and he thought, 'Did Cameron just not see them, or is

something wrong?'

Remembering Cameron's past suicide attempt, Elijah started to worry. He couldn't help but try calling Cameron. However, Cameron didn't answer it.

A wave of panic washed over Elijah. After thinking it over, Elijah messaged

Bradley.

Elijah got straight to the point: [Brad, can you get in touch with Cameron? I can't

reach

him.]

Bradley was just about to go to bed when he saw the message. He paused and

then asked: [It's so late. Why are you looking for Cameron?]

Elijah replied: [Nothing, I'm just a little worried about him. Brad, can you reach

him?]

Bradley also sent Cameron a message, but of course, there was no reply.

Bradley replied: [I can't reach him either. He's probably already asleep.] Elijah: [What if something happened to him?]

Bradley couldn't help but laugh. [Eli, you're overthinking it. Cameron is an adult.

What could possibly happen to him?]

Elijah: [But I still can't get through to him.]

Bradley: [Maybe he's asleep, and his phone is on silent? Don't stress. Just go to

sleep.]

Elijah: [Alright, you too.]

Even after messaging Bradley, Elijah's heart was still pounding. He wondered, 'Is

Cameron okay? But right now, there's no way to get in touch with him. There's nothing anyone can do.'

Austin was just as confused as Elijah. He sent Cameron a message: [Hey, Cam,

you left in a hurry today. By the time I got back to the dorm, you were already

gone. Everything alright?] 10:01 Wed, 4 Jun-
