The lock clicked, and a second later, the dorm door opened with a soft creak Someone stepped inside, then quietly closed the door behind them.
“Gemeron? Bradley called out gently in the dark
Cameron prysed med step. Brad, you’re still up?
“Yeah, I’m waiting for you; fradley replied
Cameron was unsure how to respond, and soon, she spotted Xander standing not far sway She thought, Great, he’s back too
The lights flicked on suddenly, flooding the room with a harsh brightness that made everyone squ
Cameron frowned. “What are you doing? Elijah and Austin are asleep.”
Xander shot back, “They’re wearing sleep masks. What’s the problem?”
Cameron had no words. It wasn’t like sleep masks blocked out all the lights. But of course, this scion would only think about himself
Zander crossed his arms, glaring at her. “It’s the middle of the night. Where’d you run off to instead of sleeping?
Cameron was rendered speechless. She thought, And he still hadn’t figured out who I‘ d been tonight. Good thing. Because if he had, I might actually have to beat him up.
She hadn’t forgotten that she nearly lost 350,000 dollars tonight because of him.
Cameron ignored Xander and headed straight for the bathroom to shower.
“Hey You little brat. I’m talking to you. You-” Xander kept rambling, trying to follow Cameron into the bathroom.
“Xander” Bradley called out with a frown. “It’s late. Let Cameron shower and get some
fest.
“Oh.” Xander shrugged and finally stopped.
Soon, Cameron came back out. Xander sat in the chair, still wanting to say a few words to Cameron, but she didn’t even spare him a glance.
Muttering under his breath, Zander mouthed, “Little punk,” and stormed off toward the bathroom.
Cameron climbed into bed, drew the curtain shut around her bunk, and settled in. Her head ended up just a dozen centimeters away from Bradley’s.
On the other side of the thin divider, Bradley was half–lying down with his gold–rimmed glasses still on, typing quietly on his phone.

A moment later, Cameron’s phone buzzed with a WhatsApp message from Bradley.
Bradley: [Cameron, if you don’t mind me asking, who were you with so late?]
Cameron turned her head, glancing toward Bradley’s side through the gray curtain. After thinking for a bit, she replied his text.
Cameron: [Brad, I don’t want to lie to you. I wasn’t with a friend. I went out for something really important. Is it okay if I don’t say what it was?]
Bradley: [If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. Just be careful at night. Goodnight.]
Cameron: [Goodnight.]
During the next day’s self–study session, Brody walked into the classroom with a bright smile. “Good news, everyone. The serial killer was caught in the early hours of this morning. All of you can be at ease now.”
A wave of relief swept across the classroom as all the girls let out a collective breath.
“I was scared out of my mind last night. I made my dad bring all six of our bodyguards to pick me up.”
“Same here. I called every bodyguard we have at home. Thank goodness they caught him. No more hassle now.”
“Who caught him? That’s impressive.”
“Who else? The cops, obviously.”
The classroom filled with soft murmurs as students chatted excitedly about the news.
Brody raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down and start their own self-

Cameron sat at her desk, casually twirling a pen between her fingers.
She was thinking about what kind of gift she should buy for Bradley to thank him once she got the reward.
Once she had the money, she’d treat herself to a proper shopping spree at the mall, and this thought brought a faint smile to her lips.
Just then, Elijah slid a test paper across the desk and gently tapped a question circled in red. He glanced at her sideways and asked in a low voice, “What are you smiling about? Something good happened?”
