She's the Campus Prince

"Whoa, he's hot! And the glasses make him look so refined," Lila gasped, staring

Amelia pressed her lips together.

Hot? Of course he was. She had good taste, after all.

Even Sienna blushed a little. "He's really handsome."

Lila turned to Cameron. "Girl, you have to lock him down."

Cameron said nothing.

Amelia raised a brow. "Cameron, do you actually like Bradley or not?"

“We're just friends,” Cameron replied calmly.

the photo.

Amelia didn't even try to hide her disbelief. She shot Cameron a look so exaggerated, it was almost an eye-roll.

"You're kidding." Lila said, wide-eyed. "If a guy like that doesn't do it for you, then what kind of guy do you even like?"

Cameron finished the last sip of her coffee and shook her head. "I've never really thought about it."

Sienna leaned in, curious. "Cam, are you saying you've never had a crush on anyone? Like, ever?"

Cameron glanced at Amelia.

"What?" Amelia blinked.

Their eyes met across the table, and only the two of them knew exactly what that look meant.

Lila sighed dramatically. "You really are a late bloomer."

Cameron gave a small, noncommittal smile.

On the walk to the lecture hall, Amelia drifted closer and asked under her breath, "You seriously had a crush on me?"

Cameron raised a brow. "Wasn't it obvious? I thought the whole school knew I was into you."

Amelia said nothing.

Right after texting Cameron, Bradley had just set down his phone when a message from Eric popped up.

Eric: [Brad, are you awake? Call me as soon as you are!]

Bradley stared at the message, his brow furrowing.

He already had a pretty good idea of what Eric wanted.

Sooner or later, this conversation had to happen. Since he'd made his choice, he

was ready to face whatever came with it.

He leaned against the headboard and dialed Eric.noveldrama

Eric picked up immediately. "You just got up?"

Yeah, just woke up," Bradley murmured, pulling the blanket tighter around him.

You skipping class?"

"Took the day off."

Eric hesitated. "You feeling okay?"

"Headache. I was drinking last night."

"You drank? Where are you right now?" Eric's voice tightened.

"In Cameron's bed," Bradley said calmly.

"What?!"

Eric thought he'd misheard. "Say that again?"

"I'm in Cameron's bed, Eric. Is there a problem with that?"

Eric was stunned silent.

Eddie had said they were still at the confession stage. How the hell did it escalate to this?

His voice dropped. "Brad, you

and Cameron..."

Bradley didn't flinch. "Yeah, Eric. Just like you're thinking."

Jesus. He actually admitted it.'

Eric's tone darkened. "You need to end this. Immediately. You can't keep going down this path."

"I know exactly what I'm doing," Bradley replied, his tone unshaken.

Eric sighed heavily.

'This is worse than I thought.' It was clear now. He had to fly back. Immediately.

He wasn't going to let Bradley throw his future away.

Trying to refocus, Eric asked, "Is Cameron there with you right now?"

"No. He went back to campus for class."

Eric exhaled, relieved. At least they weren't together every second of the day.

"Alright," he said, "get some rest."
