Chapter 222 Opening Three Pointer


    Chapter 222 Opening Three-Pointer


    This was an official basketball game. School pride was on the line. If they lost, everyone at school would never let them hear the end of it


    ''Everyone could see they were about to lose. So why is Cameron jumping into this mess? is she asking for trouble? Amalia thought


    Amelia couldn''t help but worry for Cameron, while Skyler''s face showed a smug met schadenfreude and contempt. After Bradley''s recent scolding, though, she didn''t dare say anything rude to Cameron.


    Meanwhile, Milena was freaking ouMy k 222t. She hadn''t realized Xander had been targeted by the Horizon Academy yers the whole time. ThMy k 222e score was tanking, and she was nearly in tears.


    When Milena spotted Cameron walking onto the court, she froze for a second before anger took over


    ''What the hell?'' Milena thought bitterly. ''Is Cameron seriously trying to flirt with Xander on the basketball count? Is she crazy? This is a men''s basketball game. What''s she doing there?


    William jumped to his feet when he saw Cameron. ''Is that really him? he thought, hardly believing his eyes. No way! How could he y the game now? Basketball is way too physical. What if he gets hurt? A stupid basketball game is nothingpared to his SAT


    William was about to call for a time-out when Charles grabbed his arm.


    "Mr. Drake, the game''s about to start," Charles said. "Where are you going? The first half was incredible. Missing even a second of this half would be a tragedy, don''t you think?"


    William bit his tongue, fighting the urge to roll his eyes.


    William was about to stop the game, but the referee''s whistle had already signaled the start of the second half.


    "Mr. Drake, sit down," Charles said. "Let''s see what happens."


    William reluctantly sat, his brow furrowed with worry. At this point, he couldn''t care less about the game''s oue. He just prayed Cameron wouldn''t get hurt.


    On the court, Horizon Academy''s yers werepletely ignoring Cameron. They stuck to their original strategy of targeting Xander. As soon as the game resumed, several yers swarmed around him.


    Just a minute into the second half, Xander caught the ball. Horizon''s yers moved in, ready to shut him down with their usual tactics.


    But Xander surprised everyone with a quick behind-the-back pass. "Cameron, ball!" he shouted.


    The ball sailed through the air toward the three-point line, heading in the direction everyone had overlooked.


    Cameron jumped up smoothly, caught the ball, and in one fluid motion,unched it into the basket.


    "Yes!" Xander jumped up in celebration.


    Their other three teammates stood frozen in disbelief. "A three-pointer?"


    Horizon Academy''s yers were equally stunned. Barely a minute into the half, and they''d just been hit with a three-pointer -from the short man they''d been looking down on, no less.


    Everyone in the stands went quiet.


    "Holy crap, did that just happen?" someone finally muttered.


    "A three-pointer? Just like that?"


    "No wonder they put him in. He''s got skills."


    The Horizon Academy crowd couldn''t believe their eyes.


    Meanwhile, Langford Academy erupted in cheers.


    "Damn! Three points! Cameron, you''re insane!" one shouted.


    "We still have a chance! Only down by 15 now. Second half just started. We can do this!"


    With this promising start, hope instantly sparked through the Langford students. Some were clenching their fists, eyes glued to the court.


    "Yes!" William jumped to his feet, pumping his


    Charles nced up at him.


    Sessfully unlocked!


    William grinned. "Mr. Barkley, aren''t you stiff from sitting so long? Get up and stretch a little."


    Charles just rolled his eyes.
