She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519

Xander shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. My place has plenty of staff. No need for you to cook.”

Cameron rolled her eyes at him. She thought irritably, ‘What does it have to do with me? If he hadn’t barged in, would I have burned the pizza?

“Xander, you’re not staying overnight,” she said flatly.

Xander knew it was inappropriate. Cameron was a girl, after all. He had only suggested it, thinking Elijah was staying too, but her repeated rejections

stung.

“Then where am I supposed to sleep tonight?” Xander watched Cameron closely for any softening.

But Cameron didn’t even look at him. “The sidewalk.”

Xander felt genuinely upset.

Elijah stood quietly nearby. Seeing Cameron’s obvious impatience with Xander eased his worries.

Xander wasn’t right for Cameron. Not that Elijah thought Xander was a bad person. He just wanted Cameron to have a normal, happy life.

Ignoring Xander, Cameron turned to Elijah. “Let’s go out for dinner?”

Elijah nodded. “Sure.”

“Wait!” Xander cut in. “I’m starving too. I’m coming.” No way would he let them be alone together, even if Cameron found him annoying.

Helplessly, Cameron ended up dining with both of them.

Back at Noble Vista, Elijah paused. “Cameron, my place should be ready by now. I’ll head back.” He then glanced at Xander. “You could stay with me

tonight.”

Xander scoffed, “As if.”

“Elijah, just ignore him,” Cameron said. In her view, Xander was just being dramatic.

Xander froze.

As Elijah walked away, Cameron headed back to her house, but Xander trailed her.

She spun around. “I said no sleepovers. Stop following me.”

Xander blinked innocently. “I didn’t say I was staying.”

“Then why are you following me?”

“I just… want to hang out.”

“It’s late. Go home.”

Xander’s expression crumpled at her hostility. “Cameron, why are you so harsh with me? What did I even do to deserve this?”

Cameron paused upon hearing this question. Truthfully, she wasn’t entirely sure. Her very first meeting with Xander in the dorm had been unpleasant. That was probably the “first impression effect” And afterward, she had always thought him too noisy. She simply replied, “You’re too noisy.”

Xander looked at her. “Cameron, I can be quiet. Just don’t be so mean to me, okay?”

Even in her masculine disguise, Cameron looked unfairly beautiful at night.

Xander’s heartbeat raced uncontrollably whenever he looked at her, yet he couldn’t bring himself to glance away.

Cameron wondered, ‘Am I really mean to him? I don’t think so.‘

Trying to brush him off, she said, “Fine, I won’t be mean to you. Now go home.”

Xander’s face lit up like a child given candy. “Okay! But…” He hesitated. “Can I come over tomorrow? It’s Sunday.”

Cameron sighed.

“Please?” Without getting an answer, Xander pressed gently.

Cameron shook her head. “No.” She had plans. Tomorrow was her day to visit Pearl at the castle. If not for Elijah’s unexpected visit today, she would have been there already. She missed the adorable tiger she had bought for 30 dollars.

Xander’s smile shattered. He thought, ‘Another rejection. How many is that now?‘

Remembering her complaint, Xander swallowed his frustration. “Why? Are you busy tomorrow?”

“Very. I won’t even be here tomorrow.” Cameron nodded.

“Hmm.”

“Go home, Xander.”

Xander lingered, eyes brimming with unspoken protests before finally turning away.

“Xander.” Cameron’s voice suddenly turned solemn.

“Huh?” Xander’s feet stayed planted. He had never intended to leave anyway. After days apart, this brief time together, with Elijah as the third wheel, was all he had gotten.

Cameron’s gaze was calm. “Do you like me?”

Her bluntness stunned him. Xander’s ears burned crimson. “I… I…” His heart was pounding, and the stutter worsened.

Xander thought, ‘Should I confess now? But it’s too plain like this–without roses and grand arrangements.’
