Chapter 85 Within Three Days
Cameron stared at Bradley in shock, thinking, Am I getting the wrong idea? He’s saying that he will ask his family to pressure the school–for me?
‘But we’ve only known each other for over ten days. Although we share a room, we are barely acquaintances Why would he do that for me?
Elijah said, “Brad’s right. The Chapman family is indeed prominent and influential remont, but they don’t hold absolute power. They’re not strong enough to control everything”
Cameron couldn’t help but wonder whether Elijah meant he was going to help her, too. She was stunned as Elijah had wanted her out of the dorm a few days ago.
Cameron quickly said, “Brad, Elijah, honestly, I don’t mind being expelled.”
Elijah frowned. “You don’t want to keep studying?”
Cameron was indeed a poor student, but with the SATS coming up and graduation just around the corner, dropping out now would be a real shame.
Moreover, getting expelled would be a permanent black mark on her record and would have a big impact on her future. And yet, Cameron didn’t seem to care at all.
Bradley looked into Cameron’s calm eyes and asked, “Why do you say that?”
Cameron replied, “Because the Chapman family got me in, not my own merit, so if they want me gone, I’ll go.”
She looked at Bradley and Elijah and said gratefully, “Brad, Elijah, I really appreciate you guys worrying about me. But I can handle this myself.
“The Chapman family has the power to kick me out, but I’ll find a way to come back on my own.
“They can throw me out like garbage now, but just wait–one day, they’ll have to come crawling back and ask me to return.” Besides, her head teacher, Brody, was considering resigning because of what happened to her.
She had to come back, not just for herself, but for Brody. She didn’t want such a great teacher to ruin his career because of
her.
Elijah looked surprised. “So you already had a plan?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah. I will be back to school within three days.”
Elijah was curious. “What are you going to do?”
Cameron kept him in suspense. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Bradley patted Cameron on the shoulder and said, “I believe you.” Seeing how confident she looked, he finally relaxed. Cameron smiled. “Thanks, Brad.” Then she added, “So please, both of you, don’t do anything for me. I’ve got this.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the dormitory was slammed open.
Xander burst in, his steps unsteady, fell to his knees in front of Cameron, and then looked up at her. He let out a muffled curse and scrambled to his feet.
Before he could recover from the awkwardness, Elijah said, “Didn’t you say this had nothing to do with you? What are you doing back here?”
Xander snorted and crossed his arms, sizing Cameron up. “I’m here to check on the underdog. What, can’t I enjoy watching a loser squirm?”
Elijah fell silent in anger. Bradley frowned and scolded, “Xander, don’t go too far.”
Xander said defiantly, “What’d I even do?! Brad, we’ve known each other for three years, and you’re siding with this little brat?” He was talking to Bradley, but his eyes never left Cameron.
Cameron ignored him as if he didn’t even exist. She opened her locker and started packing a few clothes. She had to put on a show of leaving, since she’d officially been expelled.
