Chapter 225 You Are My God


    Xender stared at Cameron in shock, practically boiling with anger. "Why are you being so damn reasonable all of a sudden?" He couldn''t believe it. Cameron never gave him that kind of ck.


    Cameron just shrugged, cool as ice. "It''s just one basket. No big deal."


    Xander was speechless. Actually, he was furious.


    But Cameron had already spoken, and he couldn''t argue with her decision. The referee dered the shot invalid.


    Cyrus stared at Cameron in disbelief. He''d gotten what he wanted-the shot didn''t count-but he couldn''t bring himself to feel happy about it.


    Cameron''s casual attitude felt like a p across his face. Here he was, making such a big deal about a three-pointer, pressuring the referee with his res, while Cameron just shrugged it off like it didn''t matter.


    It made him look petty inparison. Cyrus shot Cameron a cold look.


    "Woohoo! The Horizon Academy students cheered.


    "Ugh" A collective sigh went through the Langford Academy crowd.


    Charles wiped his sses. "Now that was impressive."


    William smiled, "Mr. Barkley, the best part is stilling."


    Charles didn''t know what to say to that.


    Back on the court, Cameron''s three-pointer had been voided. The gap between the teams remained at 12 points.


    The game continued, and Xander finally understood why Cameron had been so chill about losing those points. For the next stretch-right up until the final minute- Horizon Academy barely touched the ball.


    Three yers kept Horizon''s five-yer team locked down while Cameron and Xander worked together like a well-oiled machine, scoring point after point.


    "Three points!" the Langford students shouted cheerfully.


    "Three more!"


    "Another three!"


    "Two points!"


    "Three again!"


    "They did it! They''ve taken the lead!"


    Langford Academy had pulled ahead by two points. Their students jumped to their feet, pping and shouting wildly," Cameron! Xander!"


    The Horizon Academy crowd looked absolutely miserable, and Cyrus'' team wasn''t doing much better.


    Pride went before a fall, though. While Xander and his teammates were


    celebrating, Cyrus seized his chance in the final minute. He snatched the ball and dribbled lightning-fast to just outside the three-point line. He jumped, taking the shot.


    If this went in, Horizon would win by one point.


    Xander and the others snapped back to reality and tried to block him, but it was toote. The ball was already in the air.


    The smiles froze on the faces of the Langford Academy students. Even William''s eyes went wide.


    Charles yanked off his sses and rubbed his eyes several times, desperate to see more clearly.


    The Horizon Academy students clenched their fists in anticipation. ''Come on, make it in. Please make it in, they thought.


    But at the crucial moment, a figure leaped into the air and swatted Cyrus'' shot away before it could reach the basket.


    The ball bounced against the floor several times before rolling away, nowhere near the hoop.


    Cyrus stood there inplete shock. Cameron had blocked his shot. And there wasn''t a single foul.


    If Cameron had fouled him, he would''ve at least gotten free throws. But now, game was over. They had lost.


    Cyrus, a professional basketball yer, had just set to a bunch ode was


    "You''re a legend."


    "Cameron!" The Langford Academy students jumped to their feet, pping wildly and chanting his name.
