Everyone knew Cameron had mysophobia, but he was the only one who knew that Cameron was cross-dressing as a boy.
Xander hummed a few songs in a good mood.
Austin looked at Xander curiously, wondering why he was in such a good mood after arguing with Elijah.
Austin looked at the plate in front of Bradley and said. “Brad, we you also having pasta? Can you get full?”
Bradley nodded. “I ordered a large portion.” He was almost done eating
Austin said, “I should have ordered pasta instead.
Xander said, “Are you a a copycat? Why do you have to do whatever others do?”
Austin didn’t respond.
Cameron frowned and said, “Can you stop attacking people as soon as y
3 you open your mouth”
Xander said, “I’m not attacking him.” It was the truth, after all
Cameron lowered her head to continue eating pasta, not wanting to argue with Xander
But she thought again that since they wouldn’t be in the same school as Xander in the future, it it wouldn’t hurt to be more tolerant toward him.
Because Cameron was standing up for him, Austin smiled.
Bradley finished eating first. He went to return his dishes and came back to sit down, then looked at Cameron
Cameronate in an unusually refined manner, too refined for a boy.
Seeing Bradley staring at Cameron, Xander felt a sudden sense of unease. “Brad, why are you looking at Cameron?”
Bradley adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “Then look at you instead.” Xander was instantly at a loss for words
Cameron stood up with her plate and said, “I’m done eating. You guys take your time.” She placed her dishes at the recycling station and turned to lear the cafeteria.
Elijah caught up and asked the question he’d asked many times before. “Cameron, are you nervous?”____
Cameron said, “I’m okay. Are you nervous?”
Elijah said, “I’m not nervous either.”
Since the SAT was tomorrow, the lower grades were on holiday, making the huge school feel empty.
“Want to take a walk on the playground?” Elijah suggested. He felt tired after playing games all afternoon, more tired than studying.
Cameron nodded and said, “Sure, let me call everyone together.”
Elijah jah fell silent. He hadn’t wanted to call everyone, but since Cameron did, he naturally respected her choice.
Soon, everyone arrived.
The five of them sat side by side at the highest step, watching the students still exercising on the playground.
The weather was beautiful tonight, with stars filling the sky
“Looks like it’ll be hot tomorrow. Everyone should prepare some ice water,” Austin said:”
Xander looked up and said, “I don’t need it, I’m stronger than all of you”
Austin’s gaze crossed over Xander to look at Cameron sitting in the middle. “Cameron, do you want some? I can bring you a bottle”
Cameron said, “Thanks”
Xander said, “Then bring me a bottle, ten
Elijah said. “Didn’t you just say you didn’t want a
Kander said. “I didn’t ask you,”
Austin said, “Alright, I’ll prepare a bottle of ice water for everyone in the dorm”
No one spoke again, just sitting together in silence.
Bradley quietly looked up at the sky. This was the last time he’d sit here and look at the school’s sky during high school this depe of his life was finally coming to an end, and he felt fulfilled.
Elijah was filled with hope because Cameron was also interested in medicine. Aber high school, they’d have four years of college together
Cameron looked at the sky happily, thinking, ‘Every day loxperience now is one I never got to live in my past life. Every day is a
Austin smiled because he was about to start a new chapter in his life.
Only Xander kept stealing glances at Cameron. After the SAT, he’d finally be able to do what he’d always wanted to do
The five of them sat in the night fee ten hour. No one spoke, yet none felt hored
These remaining moments of high school were unenj edly pretions.
Nearing 9:30 P5, they finally rose to return to the doutory for washing and rest.
Cameron lay in bed with an eye mask on, unable to sleep. She turned over
Bradley spoke up, “Cameron, can’t you sleep ved the eye mask. “Not really the
The room lights were off, with only outdoor streetlights filtering through the glass,
Xander said, “Funny, me too. Cameron, are you nervous? Mr. Drake must’ve pressured you too much. So what if you don’t get first place?”
Elijah interjected, “Cameron can nailit”.
Xander retorted, “I know he can. I was just trying to help him relax. Since when did you get a say?”
Austin sighed. “Xander, Elijah, you both mean well, so stop bickering”
Cameron said simply. “Let’s just go to sleep”
Early the next morning, a soft knock rapped on Room 316’s door
It was SAT day. Bradley skipped his run but still rose early. Hearing the knock, he put down his book to open the door, surprised to see Tiana smiling outside.
“Did I wake you?” Tiana asked softly.
Bradley said, “Ms. Murphy, they’re still asleep. What’s this about?”
Tiana held up both hands, full of breakfast bags. “Those are your breakfasts. Mr. Drake insisted I deliver them to your dorm.”
Bradley quickly took them. “Thank you.”
Tiana smiled. “You’re welcome. Let Cameron choose first, okay?”
Bradley nodded, and Tiana lett.
He set the breakfast down. “Wake up, everyone. Mr. Drake sent breakfast for Cameron-and us too.”
Thanks, Cameron!”
“What’s for breakfast?”
One by one, they rose, washed up, and ate. It was only 7:00 AM when they finished, with 30 minutes left before the 7:30 AM assembly on the playgroun
Bradley answered a phone call openly in the room.
“Hi, Mom. Yes, I ate. You came? I said you didn’t need to Okay, I’ll come out now
Cameron, organizing her stationery, looked up. “Your family’s here?”
Bradley nodded, “My whole family, Utold them not to, but they arrived last night.”
Elijah said, “Brad, you love such a big family Temy that.”
Unlike Bradley, Elijah’s home was always cold and quiet
Bradley smiled. His parents were een indeed affectionate. He grabbed his stationery and i
Xander stroked his chat, “I wish my parents had more kids… Nah, they’d just fight me for the inheritance, Only child’s life is better
Austin smiled silently, agreeing. Being an only child in a wealthy family meant no competition for assets.
