Austin thought, it was totally worth it. How could it not be holdes, it''s not like bything serious happened, just scraped my forehead But kicked out of Langford Academy. So yeah, definitely worth it."


    Cameron said gratefully. "Thank you, Austin.


    Honestly, Cameron had to admit that she was pretty lucky


    of the four roommates in Room 316, aside from Xander being a bit noisy, the other three were all rice.


    When Austin heard Cameron thank him again and again, his eyes lit up even


    more.


    He grinned, the dimple on his right cheek showing faintly. "No need to thank me, Cam. I''m just happy I could help"


    Cameron forced a helpless smile at that. She didn''t know why, but she always ended up owing people for no mason, no matter whether it was Bradley. Elijah, or Austin.


    Watching Cameron and Austin interact, Elijah felt a strange pang in his chest, though he couldn''t say why. He didn''t even know where that feeling came from.


    Bradley spoke up, "Cameron, do you really want Xander to transfer?"


    Cameron thought, "Why


    hy did he ask me that?''


    me?"


    Cameron said, "Is this really up to me


    "I think it is," Bradley said.


    Elijah nodded. "Yeah, I think you can decide that with just a nod


    Cameron didn''t know how to reply


    Austin thought, ''Is Cam really that impressive? It''s really that easy for Cam, but I went through all that trouble. But if Xander stays, wouldn''t that mean everything I did tonight was for nothing?


    *Plus, Xander always asks Cam for tutoring, taking up all his free tire. He''s so annoying. Still, if Cam doesn''t want Xander to transfer, I''m fine with it Whatever Cam says goes. Cam is always right!


    Austin asked, “Cam, what do you think?"


    Cameron said, "Austin, it''s really up to you, not me. What do you want to do?"


    Austin said, "Cam, I''ll go with whatever you say."


    Cameron didn''t know how to reply. In the end, the ball was back in Cameron''s court. It was really up to him to decide whether Xander could stay.


    Just then, there was a knock at the dorm room door.


    A voice rang out. "Hey, guys, are


    are you


    still up? This Tiana. Mind if Ie in?"


    Cameron and the others were startled.


    Elijah walked over and opened the door.


    Standing outside wasn''t just Tiana, who was all smiles. There was also Xander, looking like he''d just swallowed a lemon


    When Xander saw Elijah open the door, he didn''t say a word. He just rolled his eyes


    Tidna smiled. "Sorry to bother you guys. I brought Khider along to check on Austin).


    "Come in." Elijah held the door open.


    Tiana shot Xander a look. Before they came, she''d already given him a thorough rundown of what he was supposed to do


    Xander lowered his head, staring at the tips of his shoes. The shoes he was wearing were totally out of style. He decided he''d toss them as soon as he


    back.


    Tiana walked into the dorm first, Xander followed right behind her,


    "Hi, Ms. Murphy." Cameron and Bradley greeted Tiana in unison.


    Facing Cameron, Tiana''s smile grew even warmer as she said, "Hello, Cameron" Tiana nodded to Bradley "Hello, Bradley."


    Austin, sitting in his chair, greeted her weakly. "Thanks foring, Ms. Murphy." Cameron shot Austin a nce.


    Tiana hurried over to Austin. "Austin, why are you sitting in a chair? You should get into bed and get some proper rest. How are you feeling? Does your


    forehead still hurt?"


    Austin replied in a feeble voice, " still hurts a bit. Thank you for your concern, Ms. Murphy, I just don''t have the strength to climb up to bed."
