Chapter 228 So Thoughtful
"What is it?" Xander tilted his head
Cameron pressed her lips together. "Today''s situation. Could you both pretend you never saw it?"
What situation today?" Xander asked.
Tyrell jumped in quickly "Xan, I think Cam''s talking about the hemorrhoid issue."
"That''s it?" Xander looked puzzled. ''Is that really something worth hiding? he thought.
"Xan, it''s actually pretty embarrassing." Tyrell exined. He turned to Cameron with a smile. "Don''t worry, Cam. My lips are sealed" He made a zipping motion across his mouth.
Then, Tyrell added eagerly, "I can go grab you some hemorrhoid cream right now if you want. You just wait here."
Before he could leave, Xander grabbed him by the cor. "Get back here. Since when did you be such a kiss-ass?"
Tyrellughed nervously. He''d been disrespectful to Cameron before because he hadn''t known what she was truly capable of. Now that he knew, his attitude had done aplete 180.
"Thanks, but that won''t be necessary, Cameron said. "Just don''t tell anyone about what happened today."
"Won''t say a word," Tyrell promised quickly.
Xander raised an eyebrow. "Well, you''re asking for my help. What are you offering in return?"
Cameron''s face was pale from the pain in her stomach. "Funny how quickly you forget who helped you win the game."
Xander was speechless. ''Fine, he did save the day, he thought. If it hadn''t been for Cameron, they definitely would have lost, and Xander would''ve beenpletely humiliated.
"Alright, Xander said magnanimously. "I''ll keep your secret."
Cameron nodded. "I''ll wash your pants before I give them back."
"Whatever." Xander shrugged, clearly unbothered.
Cameron folded the school pants she''d just changed out of and headed straight out of the locker room. Xander immediately followed, with Tyrell right behind him.
"Stop following me," Cameron frowned. ''How am I supposed to buy pads with them trailing me?'' she thought.
Xander stopped in his tracks. "Where are you going?"
Cameron nced back at him without answering and just kept walking.
Xander started to follow again, but Tyrell grabbed his arm. "Dude, Cam''s probably going to buy hemorrhoid cream or something. He''d be super embarrassed if we tagged along."
"What''s there to be embarrassed about? We''re all guys, Xander said with a dismissive pout.
Tyrell just stared at him, speechless.
The awards ceremony was still going on in the stadium, so there weren''t many people outside yet.
Cameron quickly left the building, nning to grab some pads and new pants. But as she reached the school gates, she spotted Austin waiting for her.
"Cam, Austin greeted with a smile after coughing a little.
Cameron''s face remained nk. "I''m dealing with something right now. We''ll talkter."
Austin blinked, caught off guard.
Cameron jumped into a taxi waiting at the curb and took off, leaving Austin staring after the car with a strange half-smile. ''Why is he running? Austin wondered. ''Is Cam too scared to face me now that I''ve discovered who he really is?''
Is it because he thinks I''ve seen through him and now he can''t face me?
After riding a couple miles, Cameron had the taxi pull over at a small convenience store. She walked straight to the feminine hygiene section, grabbed daytime pads, overnight pads, and extra-long overnight pads, then headed to the register to pay. Thedy at the counter couldn''t help herself when she saw the handsome young guy buying such a personal item. "Getting these for your girlfriend?" she asked with a tea smile
"Yeah." Cameron hesitated briefly before nodding
Sessfully unlocked!
Cameron had always bought these things herself. The first time she''d done it dressed as a guy had been super awkward, but she''d gotten used to it over time.
If the woman hadn''t said anything, Cameron wouldn''t have even thought twice about it.
Chapter 228 So thoughtful
"What a catch you are, the woman continued, looking him up and down. "Good- looking and thoughtful too. Your girlfriend''s one lucky girl"
Cameron shed her an awkward but polite smile, paid for her purchase, and ducked into the men''s clothing store next door
