Cameron didn’t commit right away, just asked, “What’s this about exactly?”
Jack covered the phone receiver and glanced
arou
his room, even though he was alone.
He said, “Mr. Wallace, Mr. Moore has a crush on someone, but it’s causing him pain. I took him to a psychologist today, and he seems a bit better, but I’m still concerned.”
Cameron was stunned. Elijah had a romantic interest? She hadn’t known that. Wasn’t he always buried in his studies? When did he find time for a secret crush?
After a moment of silence, she asked, “So how can I help Elijah?”
Jack said, “Mr. Wallace, you and Mr. Moore are friends. He even offered you a ride home–something he’s never done for anyone before. Your connection must be special.
“I was hoping you could talk to him. If he likes someone, he should take a chance. Even if it doesn’t work out, he won’t regret trying in the future.”
Cameron understood now. Jack asked her to talk to Elijah. That was manageable. “I just messaged Elijah. He’s moving to Noble Vista tomorrow. I’ll talk to him then.”
Jack sounded relieved. “Thank you, Mr. Wallace. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem,” Cameron said. After a few more exchanges, she ended the call.
While the news surprised her, Cameron wasn’t entirely thrown off that Elijah had a crush. At their age, having romantic feelings was perfectly normal.
At Murphy Manor, the game prompt blared. “You have been slain!”
“Ugh, this is so frustrating!” Xander chucked his phone aside, flopped onto the couch, and stared at the ceiling.
“Xan, what’s going on? You’re not in the zone today,” Tyrell’s concerned voice came through the phone.
“This stupid game–where’s the fun in it?” Xander snapped irritably.
Tyrell was at a loss for words. He thought, ‘Not fun? We’ve been duo queuing for days.‘
Every time Tyrell tried to stop, Xander dragged him back in, and refusing meant getting chewed out.
However, his family knew he was gaming with Xander and had practically ordered him to keep Xander entertained no matter what.
Xander scowled. “So annoying. I’m done playing.”
“Xan, don’t! If you AFK, you’ll lose honor points. Is something bothering you? Talk to me.”
“You?” Xander scoffed. But suddenly, he shot a look at his phone.
Sitting up straight, he said into the mic, “Tyrell, can you help me set up a meeting with Cameron?” He’d been aski Cameron out too much lately, worried she’d get sick of it. If Tyrell did the inviting, he could just “accidentally run into her.”
