Xander nced at Austin, who was lying unconscious on the ground, then looked at the hand he''d just used to push him.


    He waspletely stunned, and he wondered, ''I only gave him a gentle push. How did


    setup?''


    Austin end up on the ground and even pass out? Is this just a


    "Xan!" Tyrell shouted.


    Tyrell had been watching Xander. Sensing something was off between the two, he


    was already heading over when he saw Xander shove Austin, sending him straight to the ground.


    Tyrell rushed over. Seeing Austin not only bleeding from the forehead but also knocked out, he froze. "X-Xander, what did you do?"


    Xander said, "I didn''t do anything."


    Tyrell''s face darkened. "Xander, don''t you know Austin is weak? There happens, how are you going to make up for it?"


    he


    doesn''t have much time left. How could you push him? If something


    Xander was left speechless.


    Tyrell didn''t wait for an answer. He called out to the basketball team, "Hey, you guys,e and help me get him to the infirmary."


    Tyrell and the others carried Austin off to the infirmary.


    Xander was still standing there,pletely baffled. He thought, ''Did I really push him that hard?''


    The basketball court was packed. Word spread fast that Xander had "bullied" Austin-pushing him so hard he fell, hit his head, and actually passed out. The whole school was buzzing about it.


    Both Xander and Austin were among the school''s top four heartthrobs. Their fans were evenly matched in numbers. Besides, everyone agreed it was


    Xander''s fault.


    Austin''s supporters were beside themselves with worry. They all rushed to the infirmary to check on him, but the school nurse turned them away at the


    door.


    A girl snapped, "Xander is way out of line. Doesn''t he know Austin isn''t in good health? Why did he push him?"


    Another girl chimed in, "Xander is always so arrogant. Austin used to be his roommate. How could he be so cruel to Austin?"


    Someone else said, "Girls, we have to stand up for Austin and get him justice." Austin''s supporters went straight to Tiana, the dean of students.


    When Tiana heard that Xander caused trouble again, her face was a picture. She honestly didn''t know what to say.


    She thought bitterly, ''It''s only been a few days. We''ve barely had a few days of peace, and he''s already stirring up trouble again.


    Tiana immediately called Xander.


    Xander''s voice rang out. "Aunt Tiana..."


    "You have one minute to get to my office." Tiana''s voice was so sharp that it could kill.


    Xander was confused, "What happened?"


    He wondered, ''Did that nerd Elijah really goin to my aunt?


    He quickly tried to exin, "Aunt Tiana, I didn''t bother Cameron. I haven''t even seen him."


    Tiana snapped, "Cameron? You made Austin hurt, and you still want to mess with Cameron? Do you really think I can''t handle you?"


    Xander was lost in his thoughts. ''Austin? Is she talking about Austin fainting?


    Tiana growled, “Get over here. NOW."


    Xander had no choice but to head to Tiana''s office.


    Inside, there were more than a dozen of Austin''s fangirls sitting around.


    As soon as Xander walked in, all their eyes snapped at him, their res so sharp


    that it looked like they wanted to march over and p him.


    Xander didn''t pay them any attention. He said, "Aunt Tiana, I just gave him a gentle push. That''s all. It was Austin himself who..."


    "What do you mean by that?" A pretty girl shot to her feet, her tone icy. "Xander, you hurt him, and now you''re trying to pin it on him? Austin is still unconscious. You''re seriously ruthless."


    The girl''s name was Linda Kimble-Austin''s number one supporter and his ssmate.
