Chapter 70 Xander Got Pissed Off
Milena was a bit excited about getting Xander’s message, but it crashed hard the second she realized that he only texted her because of Cameron.
She clenched her phone, biting back the anger. ‘Last night was bad enough, but now he’s hitting me up just because of Cameron? Wait, did he get all the breakfast for her? Seriously? He went all out for Cameron? Is she even worth it?
From across the room, Milena glanced toward Xander. He was staring at his phone learly waiting for her reply.
Milena replied: [Can I ask why you’re looking for Cam? Sorry, he values his privacy a lot.]
Xander: [I said I’d get him breakfast. I bought a whole table of food, but it’s all cold now. That brat still hasn’t shown his face.]
Xander’s message confirmed Milena’s worst suspicion. Her grip on the phone tightened so hard that her knuckles went pale. Her chest heaved since she was furious.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and texted again. [Xander, thanks for looking out for Cam like that.] Xander: [It’s not just that. I wanted him to join the school basketball team, but no matter what I say, that guy still says no.] Milena’s blood boiled, and she thought, ‘Cameron? Join the basketball team? That’s like the highest honor. She thinks she deserves it? Not a chance. I won’t let it happen. She belongs in the shadows, under my feet where she’s always been.‘ Milena replied: [Ah, I see… but if Cam’s not into it, I really hope, for my sake, you won’t push him, alright?]
Xander stared at the text for a while and read it again and again. He thought with a frown, ‘Wait, is she telling me not to recruit Cameron for the basketball team?‘
With a deep frown, Xander replied: [Fine.]
Tossing his phone on the table, Xander looked at the untouched breakfast, feeling more annoyed than before.
A moment later, another message from Milena came through. [Thanks, Xander.]
Xander barely glanced at it, not even bothering to reply this time.
It’s weird; he thought. ‘The other day when I ran into Milena outside the mall, my heart was racing. But now, I feel nothing. I‘ m not even interested in asking her for Cameron’s number anymore. I’ll hit someone else up.‘
Just as he was thinking about reaching out to Amelia, a glance at the class group chat made him freeze. He opened it and instantly lost it.
Student A: [Cameron’s seriously hot!]
Student B: [Didn’t notice before, but now seeing that pic of him with Bradley, he totally holds his own. He’s so damn good- looking.]
Student C: [How did we all miss such a hot guy?]
Xander scrolled up and found the photo they were all talking about: a candid shot of Cameron and Bradley, standing side by side, both of them smiling.
The smiles felt like a punch to Xander’s gut.
He’d been sitting there and waiting like an idiot for Cameron. Meanwhile, Cameron was out there grinning with Bradley. He didn’t understand what Cameron meant by that.
Xander hit the call button and dialed Bradley. It rang for a while before Bradley finally picked up. “Hey, Xander. What’s up?”
Xander held back the fire in his voice and said, “Is Cameron with you right now?”
Bradley glanced at Cameron, who was calmly eating a waffle. “Yeah, he’s right here.”
Xander snapped, “Can you pass him the phone? I need to talk to him.”
Bradley handed the phone over. Cameron took it and said in a calm tone, “What’s up, man?”
Then came Xander’s roar, “Cameron, do you even hear yourself? You’re seriously asking me what’s up? Are you enjoying playing me like it’s some kind of game?”
Cameron blinked, locking eyes with Xander across the room, feeling totally confused.
