Chapter 14
Sure, this was a boys dorm and guys walking out of the shower shirtless wasn’t anything unusual. And technically, the guy in front of her was still in a bathrobe he just hadn’t bothered tying it shut.
Still, even though Cameron had been pretending to be a guy for eighteen years, this was the first time she’d seen a man this up close and personal. She quickly turned her head away, snapping her gare elsewhere.
“So you’re the new roommate Bradley Saunders’s voice was casual, laced with a smile as he ran a towel through his damp hair.

was a kind of lary elegance in the way he walked up to Cameron, something effortlessly classy. The faint lemon scent of his body wash lingered in the air.
He greeted her politely, “Nice to meet you. I’m Bradley Saunders. As he spoke, he smiled out of habit. But behind the gold–rimmed glasses, his eyes held no warmth–only the sly sharpness of a fox.
“Nice to meet you too, Bradley Cameron said quickly, still not looking at him. Tm Cameron Wallace. I just moved in. Hope we’ll get alone”
Then she froze for half a beat. pondering. ‘Bradley Saunders? Isn’t he in Class 4, Senior Year? He’s Amelia’s classmate. Damn. Another Campus heartthrob?”
Langford Academy had four official “campus heartthrobs“. Back during the vote, these four had gotten so many fan supporters that the committee couldn’t pick a winner–so they just let all four share the crown.
Cameron could hardly believe her luck. It was her first time living in a dorm, and she’d landed herself with two of the puys on campus.
“Get along?” Bradley chuckled. Just don’t get on Xander Murphy’s bad side and we’ll be good.”

Cameron still wouldn’t look at him, but Bradley had already started quietly sizing her up.
His new roommate wasn’t short, but not exactly tall either. But she was very slim–her arms and legs looked so fragile, they seemed like they could break with the slightest pressure.
Her short hair framed a delicate face. Her skin was smooth and flawless, her lashes long enough to cast faint shadows beneath her eyes under the soft dorm light. Her lips were a soft pink, full and shapely, almost distracting.
Bradley wondered, Tve heard lips like that are perfect for kissing. Well, whatever. At least he won’t be an eyesore in the dorm.
But Cameron was genuinely stunned by the name he’d mentioned. ‘Xander Murphy? Another campus heartthrob?” she wondered.
Xander was notoriously impossible to deal with. People at school would rather piss off a teacher than cross him. If he weren’t ridiculously good–looking, someone probably would’ve already jumped him behind the gym.
Cameron hadn’t expected him to be one of her four roommates. She thought, That makes three. Don’t tell me…
She looked up, her eyes locking on Bradley’s handsome face. “Bradley, mind telling me who the fourth roommate is?
She kept her gaze on him. His features were sharp and almost too perfect. The gold–rimmed glasses on his nose gave him a polished, scholarly vibe, but the shrewd look in his eyes told a different story.
He might still be in high school, but the way he carried himself already had the edge of a grown man. Out of nowhere, something popped into Cameron’s head–he seemed like a gentleman on the outside, a menace underneath.
“The fourth one’s from Class 10, Senior Year. Austin Fraser,” said the polished menace, Bradley.
Cameron came back to her senses. “Austin Fraser? She then pondered, ‘So the fourth campus heartthrob lives here too? That’s it. Full

No wonder the dorm manager looked like he wanted to say something but swallowed it when he got my slip. I’m literally rooming with the entire school’s four heartthrobs. What kind of dumb luck is this?
Bradley nodded. “Austin’s health isn’t great. He’s usually at the hospital and doesn’t come by often.”
Cameron gave a small nod. She’d heard about that before.

Austin was drop–dead gorgeous. His features were sharp and striking, his amber eyes nothing short of mesmerizing. Just one smile from him had girls swooning left and right, But his health was terrible–he was on medication all year round and was barely ever at school.
Just then, the door opened–and in walked Elijah.
