Since he stayed quiet, she pretended not to notice–until now. She was
Cameron sensed Elijah approaching the moment he got close. S about to head back to the dorm, so she finally broke the silence.
It wasn’t until then that Elijah said, his tone cool as ever, “Did you go to the Math Lab this afternoon?”
Cameron turned slightly at the sound of his voice, facing Elijah. She was sitting while he stood, and she tilted her head up to look at
him.

The orange glow of the streetlamp cast a soft halo over Elijah’s sharp, handsome features, wrapping him in a faint gold light
She thought. Yeah, he’s definitely good–looking. He’s called the school’s heartthrob for a reason. When it comes to looks, he doesn’t disappoint.
“So what? Cameron nodded.
Elijah asked, getting straight to the point. “What were you doing there?”
Cameron let out a crooked smile. looking a little cocky. “I went to see my fiancee. Got a problem with that?”
The light hit the diamond stud on her ear, scattering into a soft gleam. Elijah couldn’t make out her full expression. He frowned slightly. Did you see who solved that math problem!”
Cameron paused for a beat, then shook her head. “No.”
Elijah pressed further. “So it wasn’t you?”
The moment the words left his mouth, he figured he’d lost it Cameron ranked dead last in the class and close to the bottom in the entire grade.
Every time she took a test, she tanked the class average, especially in math. She couldn’t even guess the multiple–choice questions right. She failed every time, barely getting anything correct. Their math teacher, Josh, practically lost his mind grading her tests every time. If it weren’t for Brody being such a patient advisory teacher, Cameron would’ve been kicked out of Class 15 ages ago.
Elijah thought. I must be out of my damn mind to even ask if she solved it.
But when he checked the hallway cameras today, it turned out only three people had gone in–Cameron, Amelia, and Skyler. There were no cameras inside the classroom
Cameron scooped up another bite of cake, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. “What do you think?”
Elijah stayed quiet for a few seconds, then turned and walked off
Cameron watched his straight–backed figure with a light chuckle. “You don’t even believe it yourself. So why bother asking?”
She didn’t know if Elijah heard that last part, but his pace definitely
y picked upo
After finishing the cake, Cameron tossed the box into the trash can and stood up, stretching with a satisfied sigh. The motion lifted her oversized uniform shirt, revealing the curve of her slim waist, her smooth, tender skin catching the light.
Cameron’s figure and skin were flawless, but always hidden beneath the loose uniform, unnoticed by everyone.
When she returned to Room 310, tossed carelessly on the blankets.
316, the lights were on, but the room was empty. On the bed across from hers, a school uniform jacket was
Cameron picked up on the sound of running water from the bathroom and figured her roommate was showering. She hesitated for a second. It was her first day living here, and she might as well be friendly and say hi.
So the moment she heard someone stepping out, she looked over without thinking–and immediately froze.
The guy stepped out of the steam–filled bathroom, tall and lean. His damp hair was slicked back effortlessly, his sculpted nose framed by a pair of gold–rimmed glasses that shaded a pair of striking eyes.
He’d just washed his hair, and droplets still clung to his strands, tracing down his striking features before sliding over his toned chest.

She sat by the garden bed on campus, lit a candle, took the first bite of cake, and softly whispered, “Happy birthday”
Cameron had a sweet tooth. It didn’t take long before most of the cake was gone.
She tilted her head slightly, glancing at the person who had been standing behind her for quite some time. You need something?” she asked Elgah
