Cameron didn''t argue with Xander. She just calmly asked, "How many points are they ahead of us?"
Xander pointed at the scoreboard. "See for yourself. 18 points."
Cameron rolled her eyes.
"Don''t worry about it, Xander said. "Just enjoy yourself."
The other three team members trudged over, looking defeated. They didn''tment on Tyrell being reced by Cameron. At this point, they knew the game was lost no matter who yed.
"Later, just pass me the ball," Cameron told them.
Xander nodded. "Alright."
Since Xander agreed to that, the others nodded too.
When the Horizon Academy yers spotted Cameron on the court, they froze momentarily before bursting intoughter.
Then they just couldn''t hold back and burst outughing. “Has Langford Academy given uppletely? They''re sending in someone this short? I bet he can''t even reach the backboard!"
"Hah!"
Cyrus nced at Cameron from across the court. Though he didn''t say anything, the contempt on his face said it all.
The Horizon Academy students in the stands were losing it too.
"What kind of decision is Langford Academy making? Putting a midget on the court? Hahaha, this is hrious," oneughed. "Hey, don''t talk about him being short. He''s actually pretty cute."
"What good is cute? Besides, he''s so short. Wouldn''t you be embarrassed to introduce him as your boyfriend?"
"Langford Academy''s team is aplete joke."
When Cameron stepped onto the court, the Langford Academy students couldn''t believe their eyes.
"Is that Cameron? Why is he wearing a jersey? Don''t tell me he''s actually ying? This has to be a mistake, someone muttered.
"Well, he''s on the court, so he must be ying. I saw that video on the school forum where Cameron made that bet with Xander. His shooting skills are actually pretty impressive."
"But he''s so short. What good is being able to shoot if he can''t even get the ball? Useless.*
"Great. We''re definitely going to lose now."
"Just look at those Horizon Academy jerks gloating. Ugh, I can''t stand them."
The students'' chatter filled the bleachers as Elijah stared in disbelief. ''Cameron said he was just going to the bathroom. How did he end up on the basketball court? he thought. ''He''s actually going to y?
Despite the negativements around him, Elijah felt an unexpected surge of excitement. He hadn''t been there to see Cameron''s bet with Xander.
''Is Cameron actually good at basketball?'' Elijah wondered. He couldn''t tear his eyes away from the white-uniformed figure on the court.
Meanwhile, Austin lounged in his seat, surrounded by ssmates-mostly his devoted fangirls.
He shed them his trademark charming smile, making them swoon. He''d been bored out of his mind with this basketball game and had been coughing repeatedly, ready to sneak out early.
After a string of fake coughs, he was all set to sneak out early.
Then, Austin spotted Cameron taking the court. ''Cameron? ying basketball?
So he''s not just good with musical instruments, but sports too?'' he thought. ''Now that''s interesting.''
Austin, who had been about to leave, settled back in his seat.
Regardless of how well Cameron yed, Austin was determined to watch.
After all, Cameron was the first person in years who seemed cut from the same cloth as him. Austin wanted to see exactly how much Cameron was hiding.
Sessfully unlocked!
Bradley, hearing the buzz of conversation arouri fooked up and confined what everyone was saying. Cameron had indeed put on a jersey and was standing next to Xander on the court.
''It seems like Cameron is really going to y? Bradley wondered.
Bradley had heard Cameron was decent at basketball, but this was unexpected. He leaned back in his chair, tuning out the

chatter of students around him. His eyes never left Cameron on the court.
Amelia was just as shocked. She couldn''t believe Cameron was actually joining the game.
