Chapter 37 Taking Off His Glasses
Cameron shut her curtain and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
As soon as she got into bed, Xander scrambled up to his own bunk. His eyes shifted sneakily, and instead of lying normally, he positioned his head at the end closest to Cameron.
Just as she was about to drift off, she sensed movement near her feet. Reflexively, she kicked out.
“Ouch!” Xander yelped. He had been creeping on his stomach, carefully lifting the edge of Cameron’s curtain to check if she‘ d fallen asleep.
His plan was to chat a bit if she was still awake. But the moment he lifted the curtain, he got nailed–Cameron’s foot landed square on his shoulder.
The force sent him flying straight off the bed, which was about four feet off the ground, and he crashed onto the floor with a thud.
“Ow!” he howled in pain. His whole body ached like hell, and he was pretty sure he’d landed hard enough to crack his
tailbone.
“Cameron, are you out of your mind?” Xander shouted, furious and stunned. He lay sprawled on the floor, unable to get up
for a moment.
By then, Cameron was fully awake. She yanked her curtain aside and looked down at Xander who was still lying on the ground, her face cold and expressionless. “You tried to lift my curtain. That kick was me going easy on you.”
Bradley walked out of the bathroom after his shower just in time to see Xander lying on the floor in a pitiful heap. He almost felt bad–until he heard what Cameron said. His brows immediately furrowed.
Elijah was startled by Xander’s sudden crash to the floor. He frowned deeply but didn’t say a word. Still, it confirmed what he’d been thinking–he really couldn’t live in this dorm anymore. It was too chaotic, especially ever since Cameron moved in.
He pondered, ‘So why should I be the one to leave? It’s Cameron who should go.’
Elijah’s cold eyes swept over Cameron before he got up to wash up, pointedly removing himself from the mess unfolding in
the room.
“Cameron. Screw you,” Xander groaned as he lay on the floor, glaring hard at Cameron, who was calmly sitting on her bed. “I swear, I’m seriously injured.
“My whole body aches–I’m hurt badly because of you. You owe me medical bills. You better take me to the infirmary. Now.”
Cameron didn’t even have a chance to respond before a cold voice cut through the room. “Before we take you to the infirmary, I think we should call the police. Let them come pick up a peeping perv.”
Bradley towel–dried his damp hair as he stared down at Xander who was still on the floor. Behind the lenses of his glasses, his brooding eyes glinted with a chilling edge. “Get up,” he said coldly.
Xander immediately shut up. Bradley’s icy tone sent a chill down his spine. ‘What the hell? He’s actually mad? What’s he so pissed off about?‘ he wondered.
He looked up and met Bradley’s deep–set eyes–those eyes were genuinely filled with rage.
Xander scrambled to his feet in a rush. His body throbbed with pain, and the movement tugged at every sore muscle. He winced, teeth gritted. “Ouch. That really hurt.”
Bradley’s eyes were ice–cold as he lifted his gaze toward Xander’s bed. “Move your blanket back to where it was.”
“Huh? Why?” Xander blinked, confused.
Bradley shot him a side–eye. “Because I’m taking this spot.”
Xander instantly protested, “What? No way. I want the bed next to Cameron.”
“Say that again.” Bradley slowly reached up and removed his gold–rimmed glasses, revealing a pair of striking, smoldering eyes. His icy stare settled on Xander, sharp and unwavering.
Xander shut up immediately, thinking, ‘Shit. He took off his glasses. He actually took them off.
Instantly deflated, Xander scrambled to make r
lo problem, Brad. I’ll move right now.”
Successfully unlocked!
He instantly grabbed his blanket and hurriedly
eds nearby.
Bradley slowly slid his glasses back on, the corners of his lips lifting ever so slightly.
Cameron, still on her bed, stared in silent surprise. ‘Why does Xander look genuinely scared of him? I thought Bradley warned me not to mess with Xander. But could it be that Bradley’s actually the one no one should mess with in this dorm?‘
