Tyrell just stared at him, speechless.
The awards ceremony was still going on in the stadium, so there weren’t many people outside yet.
Cameron quickly left the building, planning to grab some pads and new pants. But as she reached the school gates, she spotted Austin waiting for her.
“Cam, Austin greeted with a smile after coughing a little.
Cameron’s face remained blank. “I’m dealing with something right now. We’ll talk later.”
Austin blinked, caught off guard.
Cameron jumped into a taxi waiting at the curb and took off, leaving Austin staring after the car with a strange half-smile. ‘Why is he running? Austin wondered. ‘Is Cam too scared to face me now that I’ve discovered who he really is?’
Is it because he thinks I’ve seen through him and now he can’t face me?
After riding a couple miles, Cameron had the taxi pull over at a small convenience store. She walked straight to the feminine hygiene section, grabbed daytime pads, overnight pads, and extra-long overnight pads, then headed to the register to pay.
The lady at the counter couldn’t help herself when she saw the handsome young guy buying such a personal item. “Getting these for your girlfriend?” she asked with a tea smile
“Yeah.” Cameron hesitated briefly before nodding

Cameron had always bought these things herself. The first time she’d done it dressed as a guy had been super awkward, but she’d gotten used to it over time.
If the woman hadn’t said anything, Cameron wouldn’t have even thought twice about it.
“What a catch you are, the woman continued, looking him up and down. “Good-looking and thoughtful too. Your girlfriend’ s one lucky girl”
Cameron flashed her an awkward but polite smile, paid for her purchase, and ducked into the men’s clothing store next door
Cameron had no trouble buying a new pair of men’s underwear. She found a public restroom nearby and changed out of her old pair.
She frowned as she looked at the blood-stained underwear, tissues, and pad wrapper in the trash can of a men’s washroom.
Fortunately, it was a public facility, so it wasn’t the worst-case scenario, as she could take the trash out with her later.
Her concern was how she could deal with her trash in her dorm later, where she had four boys as her roommates.
Trying to hide something like this right under their noses felt nearly impossible for Cameron.
Cameron sighed inwardly, ‘Looks like I can’t stay in the dorm for the next few days. I’ll just head back to Noble Vista then.
These five days every month were absolute hell for Cameron. To protect her secret, she sometimes wore the same pad for an entire morning at school.
She couldn’t exactly toss a used pad into the trash in the men’s restroom without risking suspicion. So, she’d hold out until the lunch bell rang, then rush home to change.
She’d done it so many times that even her mother had gotten fed up. Eventually, her mom started buying her medication to delay her period altogether.
She took it so often that her hormones got all messed up. Sometimes she’d go months without a period, and when it finally came, the pain was unbearable.
So this time, her period caught her completely off guard.
Cameron returned to school just in time for the evening self-study session. Her stomach was still aching a little, and it was obvious she wasn’t feeling her best.
But the moment she walked in, her classmates had a surprise waiting for her.
A burst of confetti exploded above Cameron’s head the second she stepped into the classroom, and colorful paper rained down from the ceiling.
Cameron was stunned.
“Cameron! Cameron! Cameron!” Her classmates cheered her name, all excited.
Holding her lower belly, Cameron waved a hand. “Thanks, everyone.” With that, she went back to her seat.
Brody called the class to settle down and return to their seats before turning to Cameron with a bright smile.
He said, “We couldn’t have won today’s basketball game against Horizon Academy without Cameron. Let’s give him a big round of applause.”
Thunderous applause filled the room as the entire class clapped for Cameron, their faces glowing with pride and happiness.
Somehow, Cameron had completely changed how everyone saw her. She was no longer the pushover people used to walk all over.
She stood up to give Brody and her classmates a polite bow. “Thank you, everyone.”
After she sat down, Elijah leaned over and said, “Cameron, you were seriously amazing today. I was totally blown away.”
Cameron smiled. “Thanks.”
Brody asked a few students to clean up the confetti on the ground while the rest of the class prepared for the evening’s self -study session.
Elijah started writing Cameron another note.
Elijah: [Cameron, when did you learn how to play basketball?]
To break off her engagement with Amelia, Cameron had really gone all out, doing everything possible to make herself look like a total loser.
Even with so many people badmouthing her, she never wavered, and Elijah genuinely admired Cameron for that because deep down, he knew he could never do the sam

Cameron thought, ‘Maybe…a few hundred years ago?’
Elijah noticed Cameron’s little gesture and asked, “Does your stomach hurt?”
Cameron rested his head on the desk. “Yeah. I just want to rest for a bit.” ong time ago, I don’t really remember.]
Elijah whispered, “Do you want to go to the nurse’s office?”
Cameron shook his head. Elijah gave him a long, thoughtful glance and didn’t write any more notes, letting him rest.
By the end of the first period of evening study, Cameron was feeling a lot better, and her energy seemed to have returned to her too.
Only then did Elijah ask, “Feeling better now?”
Cameron nodded. “Much better. Thanks for checking on me.”
The girl in front of them couldn’t help but turn around and praise Cameron, “Cameron, that dunk you did at the end of the game today was seriously awesome.”
Thunderous applause filled the room as the entire class clapped for Cameron, their faces glowing with pride and happiness.
