Cameron said nothing. Though she had many relatives, she’d never known family warmth
The group arrived at the pickup spot. William waited these, smiling “Just do your best.”
Cameron smiled back. “will”
The exam venue was a venue was a high school ten minutes from Langford Academy. Departing now would get them there on time
Cameron boarded the bus and sat down. Xander quickly plopped down beside her.
Austin and Elijah paused, then took front seats.
Bradley boarded just before departure. Cameron nodded slightly to him.
The five were in separate exam rooms. After exiting the bus, they split to find their venues.
Kander turned to Cameron, “Good luck, Cameron!”
Cameron smiled. “You too.”
Xander grinned. “Got it!”
The first morning cam was reading. Though Cameron hated leaving early, she’d finished ages ago and checked her paper twice.
Finally, she submitted 30 minutes early-the only one in her room to do so.
The SAT was a culmination of years of study, no one dared take it lightly.
Stepping out of the classroom, Cameron nearly collided with Willd.
Willam checked his watch, startled. “There’s still half an hourt Why leave early?”
Cameron stayed silent, unsure how to respond.
William softened his tone. “How was the paper? Hard?”
Cameron said, “I could handle it.”
William froze, unsure if that meant easy or difficult.
Cameron added, “You should go ahead. I’ll grab a drink,
William hesitated but didn’t follow. With more exams coming, he couldn’t pressure her.
Cameron bought a soda and waited for everyone to finish-they’d return by bus together.
Half an hour later, they boarded again.
Classmates immediately started debating answers, though it was pointless for reading

So, he avoided sitting beside her, fearing she’d ask about his performance,
Elijah sat next to Cameron. “Paper wasn’t too hard, right?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah. The Moby Dick question might be hard for most students, though?
Elijah sighed. “True. That question was tough.
Austin chimed in,
Bradley said, “Let
“Let it go. Relax before math”
Soon, the next exam began
As Cameron entered, a classmate spilled caramel latte on her arm.
“Sorry, did it burn you?” the boy apologized profusely.
Cameron frowned but shook her head.
With five minutes till the exam, she needed to clean her sticky arm.
Standing outside the restroom, she hesitated men’s or women’s?
Her ID now listed female, but dressed as a boy, entering the women’s room risked being called a pervert
She chose the men’s room. After all, only examiners checked IDs; others didn’t know her secret.
Inside, the washed the stain. Turning around, she found herself surrounded by five boys her age.
Cameron frowned. “Move, please.”
“Grab him,” the tallest boy barked, Four others closed in,
Cameron stepped back. “What do you want?” by sneered.
“You’ll see,” the tall boy
Cameron warned, “You’re SAT students, too. Don’t ruin your futures”
The boy scoffed, “We’re not ruining ours; we’re suihing yours!”
Their employer had called Cameron a tough opponent, but the slim, unassuming boy before them didn’t fit the description. This would be easy mon
Cameron snapped, “Samuel sent you, didn’t he?”
He was the only enemy that could be so active.
She thought Samuel had learned his lesson, but he actually targeted her on the SAT day.
“Who’s Samuel? We just hate your guts,” the boy lied. “Hold him down make it last”
They weren’t worried With the exam starting, no one would come to me to the restroom
Cameron asked coldly. “How do you plan to stop me?”.
“Simple. Keep you from taking the exam,” the boy said.
Her eyes hardened. “That would ruin my future,”
Missing a an exam would devastate her scores,
She cracked her wrists. “Come at me all of you.”
“Arrogant brat! Go!” the boy hissed.
They were risking. After taking care of Cameron, they still have to take the SAT
Four boys charged. Cameron kicked the first into a wall, then flipped another over her shoulder. Both collapsed in pain.
The remaining two froze. The tall boy was stunned. Their employer had been right. This “weak” boy was a fighter.
Cameron said flatly, “Come on. I have an exam to take.”
The tall boy snapped out of it, pulling a spray from his pocket. One mist would knock her out for 30 minutes. in was cruel to make her watch herself miss the exam.
SAT allowed the students to enter the test site in 15 minutes. Samuel’s plan
Cameron gave a disdainful smile at the spray the tall boy took out, which enraged him.
“You’ll soon learn the consequences of offending me!” With that, the tall boy aimed the spray at Cameron and pressed hard.
In the split second before the spray came out, Cameron swiftly grabbed his wrist and violently bwisted it around. The spray that should have hit Cameron instead hit the tall boy’s face.
A strange aroma filled the air. The spray worked quickly. After a few seconds of stunned silence, the tall boy collapsed to the ground.
Cameron only got a tiny whift and felt a felt a moment st of dizziness.
