Chapter 518
Cameron had barely taken a few steps when she spotted Xander. She thought, ‘What’s he doing here?‘
Xander shot her a glare. “You invite Elijah over, but not me? What’s that supposed to mean?”
Outwardly, he was scolding her, but inwardly, panic churned. He couldn’t help but think, ‘What’s C Does she… like him? No way. What’s there to like about that bookworm? I won’t allow it!
Cameron thinking, being alone with Elijah like this?
Cameron sighed, “I didn’t invite him. His place is being cleaned, so he’s just hanging out here for a bit.”
Elijah frowned, “How did you even know I was here?”
Xander shrugged. “Austin told me.”
Cameron and Elijah were puzzled, wondering why Austin told Xander.
Now that he understood the situation, Xander’s anger evaporated. He rolled his eyes at Elijah and plopped onto the sofa. “So why did you suddenly move back to Noble Vista?”
Elijah crossed his arms. “Do I need your permission?”
Xander huffed, “Well, I’m moving back, too.”
Elijah narrowed his eyes as he thought, ‘Is Xander planning to harass Cam again? Doesn’t he realize how much Cam can’t stand him? Cam only tolerated him before for tutoring money, but that’s over now.’
“You’re moving back?” Cameron frowned. With Xander around, peace would be impossible. Especially after that couple’s restaurant stunt and the expensive dress. She had to keep a distance from him.
Xander smirked. “I bought a place here, so obviously I’m coming. But it’s getting cleaned right now. I’ll just crash here.”
“No!” Cameron and Elijah’s rejections overlapped perfectly.
Elijah studied Xander, suddenly recalling his odd behavior toward Cameron before the SATs. He thought, ‘That was just like me. So chances are… Xander
has fallen for Cameron, too.
‘I can keep my feelings to myself. But with Xander’s flamboyant personality, he won’t allow such restraint. No! I can’t leave them alone together.‘”
Xander hadn’t expected both of them to shoot him down at the same time. He glared at Elijah. “Who asked you, nerd? Butt out.”
Cameron gave him a deadpan stare. “Do I have the right? The answer is no.”
Xander immediately turned to her. “Why not? If Elijah gets to stay, why can’t I?”
“I’m only here during the day, and I’ll leave soon,” Elijah snorted. “Staying overnight would be inappropriate.”
