Chapter 52 Everything Is On Me Tonight
Elijah stood up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stayed quiet for a few seconds, and then finally nodded. “Alright”
He mused, ‘Something’s definitely up with Cameron. I gotta keep an eye on her. We’re not exactly close, but I can’t just stand by and watch a classmate try to off themselves!
Cameron was the first to leave the rooftop. Elijah paused for a second, glanced back at the ledge she’d just been sitting on and shivered. His heart was still pounding.
Cameron led Elijah to a food truck, the kind that could easily stuff anyone without spending too much. It was past 10 PM prime time for late–night snacks, and the place was buzzing
The sounds of chatting, sizzling food, and clinking bottles filled the air.
Seeing the environment, Elijah frowned slightly. As the heir of the Moore family, he was used to luxury cars and
reservations at upscale restaurants. He’d never eaten somewhere so casual
Folding chairs, greasy tables, empty beer bottles littered around–totally not his scene. But he didn’t say anything
Cameron picked a quieter corner, wiped the stool with a disinfectant wipe, and sat down.
She didn’t think it was gross or anything–she just had a bit of a thing about cleanliness.
“Sit, she called to Elijah like she owned the place.
Elijah raised his eyebrows to see she was surprisingly comfortable here. He figured the Wallace family wasn’t as rich as the Moores, but still, he didn’t expect her to be this chill about eating at a street stall.
Still, Elijah sat down without saying anything.
Cameron slid the menu over to him and said, “Order whatever you want. Everything is on me tonight.”
Elijah glanced at the menu with furrowed brows and pointed to some fries and a pizza.
Cameron shook her head and said, “That’s definitely not enough.”
Without waiting, she added more food to the order and threw in a dozen beers for good measure.
The food hadn’t even arrived yet when the beers landed on the table.
Elijah looked at the beers and frowned. “You’re drinking?”
Cameron cracked open a bottle and poured herself a glass. She replied in a casual tone, “I’m legal. Why can’t I?” “You want one?” she asked while handing one to him.
Elijah shook his head but didn’t say anything.
“Suit yourself. Would you like to get a soda or something else? Just make the order yourself,” Cameron then said. She figured it was only fair since she earned the money from him anyway.
But Elijah shook his head again. He’d already had dinner. The only reason he came was to keep an eye on Cameron and make sure she didn’t do anything reckless.
Cameron took a long swig. The beer was bitter, and it made her frown a little. But she poured another and knocked it back without hesitation.
The food they ordered was still on its way, and Cameron had already finished a whole bottle.
Elijah’s brows drew tight as he asked cautiously, “Cameron, did something happen to you?”
Cameron shook her head and didn’t say a word. She just cracked open the second bottle of beer and downed it even faster. After that, she reached for the third bottle.
Just when she was about to open the third one, Elijah grabbed the bottle and snapped, “Hey, are you here to eat or to get wasted?”
“Look,” Cameron said, brushing his hand away, “if there’s ever a time to drink, it’s now.”
She popped the cap and started on her third.
“At least wait until the food gets here,” Elijah insisted.
He couldn’t tell if it was the booze or the mood
“Here you go.” Just then, the server arrived with.

or food, please.”
“You really need to slow down,” Elijah said. “You’re gonna get drunk.”
“I’ll eat something,” Cameron replied while picking up a slice of pizza. Her movements were delicate, graceful even–nothing like the person who’d just chugged two and a half beers like they were water.

If I didn’t know her, I’d think he was a girl; Elijah thought.
Cameron caught his eyes and asked, “Why don’t you eat? Staring at me can get you full?“
‘It’s a bit greasy. I’ll pass, Elijah said. He wasn’t great with oily stuff.
Cameron didn’t push him. She wasn’t the type to force things on people.
But staring at all the food on the table, she frowned. She said to him, “Come on, you think I can eat it all by myself?”
