    Chapter 245 Avable


    Seeing that Milena was out of sight, Elijah finally turned to Cameron. "Your sister''s a real handful."


    Cameron nodded in agreement. "Thanks, Elijah."


    Elijah headed back toward the ssroom. "Don''t mention it."


    Cameron sighed, "I didn''t think you had it in you to throw shade like that."


    Elijah might be the quiet, aloof type, but that didn''t mean he wouldn''t speak up when it mattered. He just usually couldn''t be bothered.


    Cameron followed Elijah back to their seats. The girl in front of them turned around and asked curiously, "Hey Cameron, who was that girl just now?"


    Cameron replied, "No idea."


    The girl was speechless, but seeing Cameron didn''t want to talk, she sensibly turned back around to face the front.


    This time, Cameron took the initiative to slip Elijah a note. [How do you want me to thank you?]


    She really was grateful to him. Milena had been driving her nuts, and Elijah had shut her down with just a few sharp words.


    Milena cared way too much about her image, and Elijah had used that against her effortlessly.


    Elijah: [Thanks? For earlier? It''s fine, it was nothing.]


    Cameron: [How about I treat you to a meal?]


    Elijah: [Sure.]


    Stunned by his quick response, Cameron thought, ''Didn''t he just say there was no need to thank him?


    Cameron: [What do you want to eat?]


    Elijah: [What about you? What are you craving?]


    Cameron: [You''re getting treated, so you make the call.]


    Elijah: [Barbecue?]


    Cameron: [Do you have a favorite ce?]


    Elijah: [We''re going after evening study? It''ll probably be closed by then.]


    Cameron: [Let''s go on the weekend.]


    They would still have exams tomorrow.


    Elijah: [Alright.]


    He still owed Cameron a meal. Once she treated him, he''d return the favor.


    *****


    Two dayster, Cameron was finally free. Her period was over, and it was Friday- time for the results of the third mock exam, which everyone had been anxious about.


    After school that afternoon, Cameron returned to Room 316 for the first time in a week.


    Elijah hadn''t expected him toe back during the break, so he was a little surprised.


    "Cameron, you''re back?" Elijah put down his textbook.


    Cameron nodded. "Elijah, I got the prize money from the basketball tournament, and I want to treat our roommates to a meal. Are you guys free tomorrow?"


    Elijah didn''t reply and just thought, ''He''s treating our roommates to a meal first?'' Just then, Austin walked in, coughing softly. "Cam, I''m free."


    Elijah finally added, "I''m free too."


    Cameron nodded. "I''ll check with Bradter. How about lunch tomorrow?"


    Elijah nodded. "Sounds good."


    Austin asked, "Cam, is Xaning too?"


    Cameron honestly hadn''t considered it. "I neve Sessfully unlocked!


    Cameron thought it was fine to leave Xander out since he wasn''t their roommate anymore.


    Austin chimed in, "Cam, maybe invite Xan too? Otherwise, you know he''ll make a fuss if he finds out."


    Cameron could only give in. "Alright, I''ll reach out to himter."

    Now that she thought about it, Austin actually had a point. Her business was finished here, so she slipped her hand into her pocket, ready to head out.


    Elijah called after her. "Cam, you heading back alone again?"


    "Yeah." Cameron nodded.


    Elijah grabbed his backpack and caught up with him. "Let me send you."


    "I can send you too, Cam," Austin quickly added as he coughed. But this time, he actually meant it.


    Austin thought he and Cameron were the same type of people, and they should hang out more.


    But Cameron turned them both down. "It''s fine, I''m cycling back."


    The early spring weather made the ride home pretty ideal anyway.
