Chapter 590
Austin’s handsome face was always a magnet for attention.
Cameron’s androgynous style, more dashing than most boys‘, was already famous among freshmen.
Elijah’s icy demeanor also drew eyes wherever he went.
The three immediately became the center of attention for passing students.
Gossip was human nature. The girls stood by, nosy looks on their faces, and Lila tugged Amelia and Sienna over to join the spectacle.
Austin smiled brightly at Cameron, waiting for her reply.
Cameron remained expressionless, skipping his question to fire back, “Austin, guess what I’m thinking right now?”
Austin asked, “What are you thinking?”
Cameron said, “I’m thinking I shouldn’t have saved you in the park that day.”
Austin’s smile froze instantly on his face.
It was precisely because Cameron had saved him in the park that he’d developed feelings for her. Looking back now, he realized he’d probably fallen in love with her that very moment.
Yet here she was, saying such a cruel thing. It was as good as wishing he’d died that day.
He just loved her. He didn’t know what he had done wrong.
The onlookers didn’t understand what Cameron was talking about, but Austin and Elijah, who’d been there that day knew exactly what Cameron meant.
Elijah was shocked to learn Cameron was a girl, but he quickly connected the dots. Maybe Xander’s sudden change in the SAT was because Xander had known her secret.
And now Austin knew too. He was confessing his love, but it was clear Cameron didn’t feel the same.

To Elijah’s relief, a wave of joy washed over him. If he’d just found out she was a girl only to see her become someone else’s girlfriend, he might have collapsed.
Stepping forward, Elijah said, “Austin, Cameron’s made her point clear. You should leave.”
Austin snapped, “It’s none of your fucking business.” He was furious, but he didn’t dare lash out at Cameron, so he turned his anger on Elijah instead.
Elijah said coldly, “Austin, your behavior is harassment. Cameron’s my friend, and if you harass my friend-”
“Friend?” Austin interrupted with a sneer. “Do you really see her as a friend, or are you just lit?
me, in love with her?”
Elijah hadn’t expected Austin to ask that. His deepest secret, buried in his heart, had just been exposed, leaving him momentarily speechless.
He’d been so careful, terrified Cameron would find out how he felt. Now she was hearing about his feelings through Austin’s words.
Cameron scoffed, “Austin, do you think everyone’s like you?”
Austin tried again, “Cameron…”
Cameron snapped, “Can you just leave?”
Austin was stunned. The look of disgust on Cameron’s face cut him to the core. He wasn’t that lowly boy anymore, yet the girl he loved had humiliated
