Austin steadied himself and walked straight over to Cameron and Elijah. He wasn''t even sure how to bring it up, just in case Cameron hadn''t seen it yet.
But as soon as Austin walked up behind Cameron, he got his answer, as he saw the school forum pulled up on Cameron''sputer screen.
Austin coughed a few times. "Cam, this is fake, right?"
Cameron turned around. "What do you think?"
Austin was caught off guard, but he instinctively shook his head. "It''s fake."
Cameron just smiled at him in response.
Elijah chimed in, "Of course it''s fake. The other guy in the photo is me."
Austin was even more taken aback now, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes. He looked at Elijah. "It was you? Eli, what''s going on?"
Elijah kept it short. "Cameron and I had dinner that night. He got drunk, so I took him to a hotel to rest. Someone took the photo and twisted it into a headline."
Hearing that, Austin shot Elijah a surprised look. He hadn''t realized Elijah and Cameron were closer than he thought.
Austin said, "Eli, they only blurred your face. Don''t you think that''s pretty suspicious?"
Elijah nodded. "They''re targeting Cameron."
"Found them." Cameron pushed his keyboard aside with a look of disdain.
"Who is it?" Elijah asked urgently.
"Skyler," Cameron replied.
"It''s her?"
Surely, Elijah remembered Skyler. She''d always been at odds with Cameron, and he''d even warned her before to stop her childish acts. But he never thought she''d sink this low.
He thought, ''Did she just ignore everything I said? Does she really think I can''t pull the plug on the business between our families?''
Austin chimed in, "Eli, you know her? Who is she?"
"Someone who doesn''t know what''s good for her," Elijah said coldly.
"She blurred your face out, so I guess she didn''t dare cross you directly, huh?"
Elijah just shook his head. He honestly didn''t care what Skyler''s motive was.
Cameron sat back in her chair with her arms crossed. "Skyler has an older sister, Avery, who works at that hotel. The surveince footage probably came from her." Austin looked amazed. "Cam, you found all that out? And so fast."
Austin was impressed that Cameron managed to find so much information in such a short time.

He thought, ''He''s so good at keeping it low-key. There must be a lot more secrets about him.''
Cameron just smiled. "It''s not that hard."
Austin didn''t believe her.
Elijah asked, "So, what do we do now, Cameron?"

He definitely nned to settle the score with Skylerter. But right now, the
rumors swirling around were the real headache.
Cameron smiled. "Let''s just let things y out for a bit."
She wondered what Skyler was up to this time. ''In my previous life, she did this
just to call off my engagement with Amelia.
''So what''s her game now? Is she just trying to piss me off?''
"Ew, Cameron is just so gross," someonemented.
"What did you just say? Care to repeat that for me?" Xander taunted.
Xander was grabbingte-night snacks with his basketball team when two girls walked by, both looking like they''d just seen something nasty.
"Mr...Murphy?" one of them stammered, her eyes wide in fear when she met Xander''s furious gaze.
Xander shot her a look. "Who exactly were you calling gross just now?"
