Chapter 251 Neighbors
Xander''s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Live together? What''s that supposed to mean?"
Bradley said, "Exactly what it sounds like."
Xander was shocked once again.
Cameron rified, "Brad and I live in the same neighborhood."
Xander asked, "Which neighborhood?"
Gwen chuckled, "Xan, why are you asking so much?"
Xander said, "Because I want to be your neighbor."
Finally, he understood why Cameron and Bradley were so close. It turned out that they were roommates at school and lived in the same neighborhood outside. ''So, that was how they built the bond, he thought.
Now, it made sense to Xander that Cameron would ride in Bradley''s car.
Both Bradley and Cameron were rendered speechless.
Logan asked curiously, "Brad, which neighborhood do you two live in?"
After chatting all evening, Logan thought Bradley was a pretty good kid. But then again, all of Nathan''s kids were impressive.
Logan was totally on board with Xander hanging out more with Bradley, and he wouldn''t mind buying a house so the two boys could be neighbors.
Bradley answered honestly, "Noble Vista."
Gwen smiled. "That''s a nice neighborhood. We actually have an empty apartment unit
there."
Xander raised an eyebrow. "Perfect. I''ll move in tonight."
Cameron and Bradley were once again rendered speechless by Xander''s impulsive thoughts..
Gwen said, "Xan, do you really have to rush it? That ce has been vacant for ages, and no one''s lived there in a long time. We''ll need to get someone to clean it first."
Xander replied, "Then let''s get someone to clean it up right away."
Logan nodded. "That works. Xander''s 18 years old now. He''s an adult and can live on his own. Plus, if you''re living together in the same neighborhood, it''s easier for Cameron to tutor you."
Xander pped his hands. "Dad, you''re a genius."
Meanwhile, Gwen chuckled and asked the housekeeper to arrange cleaning for their

apartment at Noble Vista.
Xander crossed his arms, looking directly at Cameron. "You little punk, there''s no way my ce will be ready tonight. So, I''m crashing at yours."
Cameron had no words.
Bradley adjusted his gold-rimmed sses. "Xander, what''s the rush? Just stay home tonight. Move in after your ce is cleaned up."
Xander shook his head. "Brad, you don''t get it. My basics are terrible, and I really need tutoring. I have to move in tonight."
Bradley was speechless.
"Come on, let''s go." Without waiting for an answer, he shoved both Cameron and Bradley out the door. Logan and Gwen didn''t even get a chance to say goodbye.
"I''ll ride with you, Brad. It''s on your way anyway," Xander said, sliding into the passenger seat in front like it was his car.
Cameron sat in the back. With her arms crossed, she said, "Sorry, Xander. You can''t stay at my ce."
Xander turned around. "Why not?"
"I''m just notfortable having someone I don''t really know staying over," Cameron replied.
Xander protested, "I''m not a stranger! I''m your roommate, and we''ve lived together in Room 316 for ages."
Inside, Cameron screamed, ''Come on, I''m a girl! I only stayed in Room 316 because I had no other choice. And besides, with so many people in the dorm, it wasn''t a big
deal.
''But if Xander crashed at my ce, it''s just way too inappropriate for us to live together.''
"I''ll help clean your ce tonight," she offered. "Once it''s ready, you can move in."
Xander scowled. "Seriously? It''s just one night, you little brat. I''m not even going to stay for long."
From the driver''s seat, Bradley chimed in, "Xander, why not stay at my ce? I''ve got plenty of spare rooms."
"Nope. I want to stay with Cameron," Xander insisted.
Cameron and Bradley had no words again.
