Filed to story: That Campus Prince Is a Girl
Eric was twenty years old this year and currently a junior at a fashion design university in Fiora. He took special leave to come back for this design competition.
Once the competition was over, he’d have to head back to school and get ready for finals.
Soon after, Leanne posted the final results of the design competition on the official account of their company. She also shared ten of Cameron’s design sketches.
This time, Cameron’s collection was themed “The Starry”. As soon as the designs dropped, they set the internet buzzing.
A: [Wow, they are gorgeous, Since the sketches look this good, the real thing must be absolutely stunning!]
B: [This dress is covered in stars. That’s so beautiful. If I wore this to a birthday party, I’d be the star of the night.]
C: [This collection is amazing-not just evening gowns, but everyday looks too. I feel like I could wear them anywhere.]
D: [The designer is incredible. When are these coming out? I want to buy them right now.]
E: [So pretty!]
F: [This is definitely championship level!]
G: [C? Who is that? So mysterious!]
H: (Will this person become Noir Eclat’s go-to designer? Their style is so bold and confident I love it.]
The feedback was almost all positive online. Of course, there were a few negative comments, but they were quickly drowned out by all the praise
Cameron got Leanne’s call just as school was letting out for the day. Of course, Leanne had timed it perfectly.
Leanne said, “Mr. Wallace, congratulations on winning first place in the design competition.
“Along with the 300-thousand-dollar cash prize, your design will soon be turned into an actual product and hit the shelves. I’d like to go over the details. with you.
“My boss would also like to invite you to dinner to discuss things in person. When would be a good time for you, Mr. Wallace?”
Leanne spoke at an easy, unhurried pace, her voice warm and friendly.
Cameron thought for a moment and said, “I’m free Saturday night.”
Saturday was just two days away. It would be her last weekend as a high schooler.
Leanne said, “Great, I’ll have a car pick you up at 6 PM on Saturday. Just send me your address, okay?”
“Alright,” Cameron replied.
Cameron had just hung up when Xander suddenly popped up out of nowhere, shouting, “Cameron.”
The way Xander looked at Cameron wasn’t bold and reckless anymore. He seemed awkward and shy, and his ears even turned a little red.
He didn’t call her “little brat” anymore. Finding out that Cameron was a girl hit him way harder than any complaints from Bradley and others ever did.
He even managed to hold himself back from looking for her at lunch.
The fact that Cameron was a girl was just too much for him to handle.
But by the time school let out in the afternoon, Xander just couldn’t take it anymore. As soon as the bell rang, he bolted straight for Cameron’s classroom.
“What do you want?” Cameron frowned.
Cameron thought, ‘This guy is always so reckless.’
“Um…” Xander stammered, “Can we… go to the cafeteria together for dinner?”
Cameron replied, “Sure, let’s go.”
“Good.” Xander jumped up, grinning from ear to ear.
Cameron gave him a look, totally speechless.
“Cameron.” Elijah hurried over and said, “Are you going to the cafeteria? Let’s go together.”
Xander immediately stepped forward, blocking the space between Cameron and Elijah. “Sorry, Cameron agreed to go with me. You can wait your turn.”
Elijah stared at Xander, looking confused.
Cameron frowned. “Xander, what’s your problem? Can’t we all go together? Or do you own the cafeteria?”
Xander wanted to say that his family had actually invested in the cafeteria, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.
Xander shot Elijah a glare.
Elijah thought, ‘What is wrong with this guy?’
In the end, Elijah didn’t bother arguing with Xander. He hurried over to Cameron’s side.
But the next second, Xander squeezed right between them, blocking Elijah with his arm. “Elijah, it’s scorching out here. Can you give us some space?”
Even someone as patient as Elijah couldn’t take it anymore. He frowned and snapped, “Xander, don’t push it.”
Xander glared back. “Me, push it? You’re the one going too far.”
Xander thought, ‘Not only does he get to share a dorm with Cameron, he’s even her deskmate. How does he end up with all the perks?
Cameron is still living in Room 316. They stay in the same dorm room. Bradley, Austin, and Elijah are sharing a room with her. But she’s a girl. How she possibly live with them?’
Xander’s face instantly darkened. “Cameron, come here please.”
He lifted his hand, wanting to pull Cameron over, but stopped halfway.
If it were before, he would’ve just dragged her aside without a second thought.
B?t things were different now. He knew Cameron was a girl, and he couldn’t be that rough anymore.
“What is it?” Cameron asked, confused.
Xander looked serious. “Come here. I need to talk to you.”
Cameron glanced at Xander’s serious face, then turned to Elijah. “Eli, you can go first. We’ll be there in a bit.”
“Alright,” Elijah replied and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still walked away.
As soon as Elijah was out of earshot, Xander immediately lowered his voice. “Cameron, you can’t stay in Room 316 anymore.”

Cameron asked, “Why?”
Xander snapped, “You are e seriously asking why? You’re a girl. How can you live with three guys?”
It finally dawned on Xander why Cameron always kept her bed curtained off. She was a girl, after all. Living in a guys’ dorm must be such a hassle for her.
Cameron said, “I’ve been living there for over two months. You suddenly think it’s a problem?”
Xander choked. “How is that the same?”
Cameron shot back, “What’s different about it?”
Xander said, “I didn’t know you were a girl before.”
Xander said seriously, “You’re not allowed to go back to the dorm tonight.”
Cameron replied, “Don’t be ridiculous. If I don’t go back to the dorm, where am I supposed to go?”
Cameron thought, ‘The SATS are right around the corner. Does he really expect me to switch dorms now?”
Xander insisted, “Go stay at Noble Vista.”
Cameron gave Xander a look, too annoyed to argue with him anymore.
She thought, ‘I’ve already been living there for over two months. What’s wrong with a few more days?’
She then turned and walked toward the cafeteria.
Xander hurried after her. “Cameron, did you even listen to me? You can’t go back to Room 316. It’s too dangerous.”
Cameron stayed silent, ignored him, and kept walking.
She picked up her pace, and Xander jogged to catch up.
“You’re not seriously thinking of going back to Room 316, are you?”/His face looked grim.
