Chapter 151 Are Vitamin Tablets Tasty?


    When Cameron stepped into Room 316, the dorm was empty except for Austin.


    Austin looked up as Cameron opened the door. He had his usual little cough before he shed her a dazzling smile, lighting up his strikingly mixed-race face. "Cam."


    That smile could melt half the school if any fans were around. If any of his fans were here, they''d probably be screaming like crazy.


    Cameron didn''t even blink in his direction. She dropped her backpack on the chair, ready to head right back out. She still had dinner to grab, a library visit to squeeze in, and ss to catch.


    "Cam." Austin coughed and quickly stood up, stepping into her path. "You''re not still mad at me, right? I''m really sorry about yesterday. I didn''t mean for things to blow up with Xan. It''s on me."


    Cameron rested her fingers on the bunk bed, finally giving Austin a slow look. "Are vitamin tablets tasty?"


    Austin froze. For a second, he had no idea what she meant. Then he started coughing again-this time harder.


    He was coughing so hard he could barely breathe, his face turning pale.


    It wasn''t until Cameron pulled open the dorm door that Austin managed to ask weakly, "Cam, what are you talking about? What vitamin tablets?"


    Cameron replied, "Oh, I just suddenly felt like trying vitamin tabletstely, so I wanted to ask if they taste good. Have you had them before?"

    “Uh...I-I hardly ever take them," Austin said, still looking weak.


    Cameron nodded. "Alright, I''ll ask someone else."


    And with that, she left the room.


    Austin slumped into his chair, looking pale and pressing a shaky hand to his chest, thinking, ''That was close. Turns out it was just a false rm.''


    He really thought Cameron had found out about his secret. Austin picked up the medicine bottle on his desk, which wasbelled as cough medicine. But he''d swapped out all the pills inside for vitamin tablets.


    He''d even sanded off the letters on each tablet, one by one, and there was no way Cameron would know. So, he concluded it was just a coincidence earlier.


    Sessfully unlocked!


    Cameron grabbed a bowl of pasta from the cafeteria and headed straight for the library. She had just settled into a quiet corner when her phone buzzed with a text from Xander.

    Xander: [Cameron, where are you? You''re not in the dorm or the ssroom. Austin said you''re at school, so where are you?]


    Cameron nced at the message, then shoved her phone back into her pocket without replying.


    Momentster, more messages poured in.


    Xander: [Cameron, where are you? Say something.]


    Xander: [Hello?]


    Xander: [Where are you? Reply to me.]


    Xander: [Cameron, I have something really important to tell you. I''m ordering you


    to reply within one minute.]


    Xander: [Cameron, answer me!]


    Her phone wouldn''t stop buzzing, and she frowned in annoyance. Without hesitation, she blocked him on WhatsApp.


    When Xander sent another message, he saw only one tick next to his text. He had a hunch that Cameron had blocked him. His eyes widened in shock. "Damn it, that little punk!"


    Xander was still holding a giant bag of snacks he bought just for Cameron. He couldn''t wait until after evening study to give them to him, so he was going to hand them over


    now.


    This was the most he could do to take a step back and reconcile with her. And he had to because Cameron was Milena''s ''brother.


    Xander kept telling himself he needed to keep things, as there was no point in making things so tense-between them. If things got messy, he''d be the one stuck cleaning it


    1. up.


    But he hadn''t expected Cameron to humiliate him like that. Left with no other option, Xander headed toward ss 35.


    Elijah was at his desk, calmly working through a practice test, when Xander called him out. Elijah followed, visibly annoyed. "What now?"


    Xander shoved the snack bag forward, ring at Elijah as he said, "Can you give this to Cameron?*


    Elijah nced down at the big bag of snacks in his hand. "What, are you here to apologize to Cameron?"


    Xander instantly exploded. "Apologize? Why should I apologize to him? He was the one who beat me up."/


    Elijah replied, "You threw the first punch. He was just defending himself."


    Xander scoffed; “Elijah, I didn''t think a straight-A student like you would actually take

    Cameron''s side. After all, he''s a total cker in academics."


    Elijah shot back, "cker? Xander, maybe you should find out why the principal personally brought Cameron back after expelling him. If he''s a cker, then everyone at Langford Academy is also one."


    Xander was stunned. "What''s that supposed to mean?"


    Elijah said, "Go ask your aunt."


    Xander grumbled, "I can''t be bothered. Just give this to Cameron."


    Elijah was silent for a few seconds. In the end, he still took the shopping bag. After all, they all lived under the same roof, and it wasn''t like they could avoid bumping into each other forever.


    Now that Xander was trying to make peace, there was no point in turning him down.


    "Thanks." Xander let out a breath of relief.


    Elijah walked into the ssroom with the bag in his hand, which invited questions from his ssmates.


    "Whoa, Elijah. Is that from Xander for Cameron? Didn''t know you guys in that dorm were so close."


    "I always thought Cameron would have a hard time living with all those campus heartthrobs, but looks like he''s actually pretty popr among them." "Cameron''s good-looking too, okay? Living with them is no big deal for him."


    "I agree. Honestly, Cameron could totally be one of the campus heartthrobs. That''d make five at our school."


    Elijah didn''t say much. He just nodded here and there, listening to the conversations around him. He had a few tough problems saved up that he''d been meaning to ask Cameron about when she showed up.


    Cameron walked into the ssroom right on the dot. ss started at 6:50 PM, and she only strolled in at 6:45 PM.


    The first thing she noticed was a massive shopping bag sitting right on her desk.


    She blinked, wondering if she was seeing things. Sliding into her seat, she peeked into the bag, confused as she asked Elijah, "What''s this?"


    Elijah said, "Xander bought it for you. He felt pretty bad about what happened yesterday, so he sent you this giant bag of snacks and hoped you''ll forgive him." She tried to set the snacks aside, but the bag was so huge that no matter where she put it, it took up way too much space.


    With no other option, Cameron tapped the shoulder of the ssmate in front of her with her textbook. "Hey, want some snacks?"


    Cameron ended up sharing the whole bag of snacks from Xander with the entire ss.


    Chapter 151 Are Vitamin Tablets Tasty?


    All the snacks Xander bought were super expensive, and even though everyone here came from pretty well-off families, snacking together beat snacking alone.


    The mood lightened, and voices filled the space. "Cameron always looks so cold, but he''s actually really chill."


    "He''s good-looking and kind too. Amelia must be kicking herself for breaking off the engagement."


    Someone coughed, "Yeah, well...doesn''t hee from a pretty weak background? I heard the Wace family barely scraped into Langford. That''s why Amelia wasn''t interested in him."


    "Dude, you''re literally eating her snacks. Maybe zip it."


    Cameron didn''t react to anything they said. Thements floated around her like wind, heard, but meaningless.


    Elijah frowned and said, "Cameron, don''t take what they say to heart. Amelia''s the


    one


    who lost out."


    Cameron nodded. "Yeah, you''re right."


    Elijah slid his test paper over to her. "Can you take a look at these two


    questions?"


    Cameron was stunned.
