Chapter 235 He Wants It
Xander rolled his eyes, clicking his tongue. “Like I even wanted to come.”
If it weren’t for Cameron, Xander wouldn’t bother showing up even if someone invited him. Then, he turned and walked off.
Elijah frowned, as Xander’s arrogant attitude was seriously starting to grate on him.
Austin smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Don’t mind him, Eli. That’s just how Xan is, you know.”
Elijah just shook his head. He honestly didn’t care, but it was just annoying to him.

Meanwhile, Bradley was surprised when he heard that Cameron had gone back to Noble Vista again. He wondered, “Why would Cameron head back there at noon? Did something happen?‘
After waiting about ten minutes, Bradley decided to call Cameron himself.
“Hey, Brad.” Cameron had just come out of the bathroom.
“You didn’t come back to the dorm last night?” Bradley asked gently.
Cameron replied, “Yeah, I stayed at Noble Vista.”
Bradley asked curiously, “Can I ask why you suddenly went back?”
Cameron thought about making up a random excuse, but she didn’t want to lie to Bradley. So she asked back, “Brad, can I not say?”
Bradley was silent for a few seconds, caught off guard by her answer.
But he stayed gentlemanly and didn’t push her. “Alright, you don’t have to say if you don’t want to. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Cameron smiled. “It’s nothing, I’m really fine.”
Bradley asked again, “Are you staying there again tonight?”
“Yeah,” Cameron answered.
“Let’s stay there together then. I’ll come back too,” Bradley said.
Cameron had no choice. “Sure.”
She didn’t mind Bradley coming along. After all, they wouldn’t actually live together in the same space, so she had nothing to worry about.
After hanging up on Bradley, Cameron grabbed a quick lunch. Once the timing felt right, she hopped on her e–bike and headed back to school.
The afternoon classes wrapped up, and they were given a one–hour break, which was just enough time for a round trip to Noble Vista.
She hadn’t changed her pad all afternoon, so she really had to go back. But as soon as she stepped out of the classroom, she spotted Xander sitting on the flowerbed outside the door with his arms crossed.
Cameron froze. She didn’t even have to guess, as she knew Xander was here for her.
Before he could say a word, Cameron jumped in first. “I’ve got something urgent to take care of. Whatever you need, it’ll have to wait.”
With that, she took off like the wind.
Xander stiffened, thinking, ‘Is this little punk dodging me? Fine. I’ll just wait him out. Let’s see how long he’s gonna take.‘
Xander sat on the flowerbed, getting more impatient by the minute. Finally, Cameron returned, and she was surprised to see him still there. She walked over, asking him flatly, “So, what did you want?”
Xander didn’t beat around the bush. “Hey, brat, are you avoiding me?”
Cameron was rendered speechless, thinking, ‘Why would I be avoiding him?‘
Cameron shot him a look. “Xander, quit looking for trouble when there isn’t any.”
Xander pressed. “So you are avoiding me, huh?”
