Chapter 81 Storming Out
Cameron came out of the bathroom, fully clothed.
colds.
With his legs crossed, Xander asked, “Seriously, are you really that cold?
It was almost summer. People could go around with minimal clothing and still wouldn’t feel cold
And yet, after living with Cameron for a few days, he had never seen her in anything revealing he hadn’t even seen her bare
arms.
Cameron glanced at him. “I do what I want. Got a problem with that?”
Xander was annoyed and thought, ‘She has a way of shutting me down with several words. She is quite possibly doing it on purpose. She is so gentle with Bradley and nice to Elijah. But with me? Always harsh. What’s her problem?
Just then, the door opened and Bradley walked in.
A soft smile immediately appeared on Cameron’s face. “Hey, you’re back, Brad.”
“Yeah,” Bradley replied with his usual gentle smile.
“Cameron, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Xander snapped, furious at how blatantly Cameron treated him and Bradley differently.
Cameron turned her head and frowned at him. “What’s wrong with you?”
Xander glared at her. “You’re all smiles with Bradley, but you freeze me out. Why?”
Cameron replied, “Because I feel like it.”
Xander stiffened his neck and asked, “You’ve got a problem with me, don’t you?”
Cameron said, “Took you long enough to notice.”
She thought, ‘How dare he act so arrogant now? He secretly took photos of the sketches I was looking at and sent them to Milena–and I didn’t even hold him accountable.
‘And now he’s getting mad at me? If those sketches he sent had been mine, it would’ve been a total disaster.
Xander asked, “What did I ever do to you?!”
Cameron shot back, “I just don’t like you, okay?”
Xander was livid. “You don’t like me? Fine! I’ll leave! You can have the whole room to yourselves.” He grabbed his phone and stormed out of the dormitory, slamming the door behind him.
The two of them had a full–blown argument. Bradley, who’d just walked in, didn’t even get a chance to say a word. Cameron climbed into her bed with an impassive face.
Bradley tried to comfort her. “Don’t take it personally. Xander’s like a kid–his mood changes constantly.”
“I won’t,” Cameron said. Her gaze drifted across the room to the bed that had been made up but remained empty since day one. Curious, she asked, “That student hasn’t shown up for class at all. Is he taking the SATS with us?”
“You mean Austin?” Bradley replied. “Austin’s just not attending classes at school. His family must have hired him a tutor, so he won’t fall behind. His grades are pretty good.”
Bradley’s grades were solid–he ranked in the top ten in his grade. Austin was right up there with him. Xander, who was in the sports program, lagged a bit behind academically. But Cameron had terrible grades.
Cameron nodded. She was curious, but not particularly interested.
Xander had expected that after he stormed out like that, at least one of them would call him, asking him to come back. But no one did. It was as if they couldn’t wait for him to move out.
He couldn’t help but curse them silently. And since no one called him back, he wasn’t going to return on his own–that would’ve been humiliating. So instead, he went straight to his aunt’s staff dorm and stayed there.

At 10 a.m. the next day, during a break between classes, Cameron was once again summoned to the office by their head teacher, Brody.
She’d been having a sinking feeling all morning Graham,” she greeted politely.

Elijah was also in the office, helping the math teacher organize the test papers from the day before.
Brody looked at Cameron without saying anything.

Cameron was confused.
Brody opened his mouth a few times, but couldn’t seem to get any words out.
“Eventually, Cameron asked, “Mr. Graham, is something wrong?”
