She's the Campus Prince

Austin asked Cameron that because Samuel's injuries had pretty much healed up.

But today, when Austin came home, Samuel was nowhere to be found.

Austin thought, 'Samuel has been put in his place by Cam more than once. He even got his ribs broken by Cam. With how petty and vengeful Samuel is, there's no way he'll just let that go."

The thought made Austin uneasy. But when he messaged Cameron, he got no reply.

Austin sent another message: [Cam? Don't freak me out. Where are you? Did Samuel come looking for you?]

After this message, Austin still got no response. Austin started to panic.noveldrama

He called Cameron right away, but she didn't pick up.

Her phone was on silent and flipped over on the nightstand, and she was already asleep.

Getting desperate, Austin thought for a second and then called Xander.

"What do you want?" Xander snapped, clearly in a bad mood.

Right now, Austin couldn't care less about Xander's attitude. He got straight to the

point. "Dude, did you see Cam after school today?"

Xander gritted his teeth. "Yeah, I did."

"You saw him? Where? Is Cam okay?" Austin asked, sounding excited.

"What could possibly happen to Cam? He's perfectly fine. He's with Bradley, having the time of his life," Xander huffed.

Austin thought, 'Why does it sound like Xander is practically grinding his teeth?'

"Brad? Cam is with him?" Austin was a bit surprised.

Xander blurted out, "Cam's staying at Bradley's place."

Austin was even more shocked. "Huh? Cam's staying at Brad's place? The villa at Noble Vista?"

"Wait, why do you have so many questions?" Xander got impatient.

Austin asked, "Bro, are you alright?"

Now that he knew Cameron was safe, Austin finally had the mind to ask about Xander.

"I'm doing just fine," Xander huffed.

Austin and Xander chatted a bit more and then hung up.

Honestly, Austin didn't really care how Xander was doing. As long as Cameron was okay, that was all that mattered.

The next day, when Cameron woke up, she saw messages from Austin and Elijah on her phone.

She finally replied to both of them, saying she was okay, and that her phone had been on silent, so she just saw their messages,

Elijah had been so worried about Cameron that he barely slept all night. When he got Cameron's reply, the weight on his mind finally lifted.

Elijah: [As long as you're alright. If anything comes up, just let me know anytime.]

Cameron: [Thanks, Eli. Don't worry, I'm really fine.]

Austin replied almost right away too.

Austin: [Cam, you really need to be careful these days. Samuel holds a grudge.

It's good you're staying at Brad's place. At least someone's

Cameron: [How did you know I'm staying at Brad's? Did Xander tell you?]

Cameron complained inwardly, 'Xander is really a blabbermouth. Anything he knows, the whole world finds out in no time."

Austin: [Yeah, Xan told me.]

Cameron: [Don't worry, Austin. Samuel already got burned by me. He won't dare try anything again.]

Austin: [I know you're tough, but Samuel's a nutcase. He never plays by the rules. Just be careful, okay? The SATs are coming up. You can't let anything happen now.]

Cameron: [Nothing will happen.]

After replying to Austin, Cameron ignored Xander's message, put down her phone, and headed downstairs.
