Austin looked at the te in front of Bradley and said. "Brad, we you also having pasta? Can you get full?"


    Bradley nodded. "I ordered arge portion." He was almost done eating


    Austin said, "I should have ordered pasta instead.


    Xander said, "Are you a


    a copycat? Why do you have to do whatever others do?"


    Austin didn''t respond.


    Cameron frowned and said, "Can you stop attacking people as soon as y


    3 you open your mouth"


    Xander said, "I''m not attacking him." It was the truth, after all


    Cameron lowered her head to continue eating pasta, not wanting to argue with Xander


    But she thought again that since they wouldn''t be in the same school as Xander in the future, it


    it wouldn''t hurt to be more tolerant toward him.


    Because Cameron was standing up for him, Austin smiled.


    Bradley finished eating first. He went to return his dishes and came back to sit down, then looked at Cameron


    Cameronate in an unusually refined manner, too refined for a boy.


    Seeing Bradley staring at Cameron, Xander felt a sudden sense of unease. "Brad, why are you looking at Cameron?"


    Bradley adjusted his gold-rimmed sses and said, "Then look at you instead." Xander was instantly at a loss for words


    Cameron stood up with her te and said, "I''m done eating. You guys take your time." She ced her dishes at the recycling station and turned to lear


    the cafeteria.


    Elijah caught up and asked the question he''d asked many times before. "Cameron, are you nervous?"_


    Cameron said, "I''m okay. Are you nervous?"


    Elijah said, "I''m not nervous either."


    Since the SAT was tomorrow, the lower grades were on holiday, making the huge school feel empty.


    "Want to take a walk on the yground?" Elijah suggested. He felt tired after ying games all afternoon, more tired than studying.


    Cameron nodded and said, "Sure, let me call everyone together."


    Elijah


    jah fell silent. He hadn''t wanted to call everyone, but since Cameron did, he naturally respected her choice.


    Soon, everyone arrived.


    The five of them sat side by side at the highest step, watching the students still exercising on the yground.


    The weather was beautiful tonight, with stars filling the sky


    "Looks like it''ll be hot tomorrow. Everyone should prepare some ice water," Austin said:"


    Xander looked up and said, "I don''t need it, I''m stronger than all of you"


    Austin''s gaze crossed over Xander to look at Cameron sitting in the middle. "Cameron, do you want some? I can bring you a bottle"


    Cameron said, "Thanks"


    Xander said, "Then bring me a bottle, ten


    Elijah said. "Didn''t you just say you didn''t want a


    Kander said. "I didn''t ask you,"


    Austin said, "Alright, I''ll prepare a bottle of ice water for everyone in the dorm"


    No one spoke again, just sitting together in silence.


    Bradley quietly looked up at the sky. This was thest time he''d sit here and look at the school''s sky during high school this depe of his life was finallying to an end, and he felt fulfilled.


    Elijah was filled with hope because Cameron was also interested in medicine. Aber high school, they''d have four years of college together


    Cameron looked at the sky happily, thinking, ''Every day loxperience now is one I never got to live in my past life. Every day is a


    Austin smiled because he was about to start a new chapter in his life.


    Only Xander kept stealing nces at Cameron. After the SAT, he''d finally be able


    to do what he''d always wanted to do
