She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555

After thinking it over for a long time, Austin finally decided he shouldn’t see Carheron tonight.

He was definitely still mad.

Better to give him some space and wait until things cooled down.

It wasn’t until nearly midnight that he sent her a message.

Austin: [Cam, sorry, I just saw my guest off. Did you go to bed already? If it’s okay, maybe we can talk tomorrow instead?]

Cameron was already asleep.

Austin didn’t get a reply, so he followed up with one more message. Austin: [Good night.]

He sat down on the couch, rubbing his temples.

‘How the hell am I going to explain this to him?”

Looked like honesty was the only option now.

The next morning, Cameron saw the messages Austin had sent.

She didn’t respond.

She acted like she hadn’t even seen them.

By ten AM, Austin couldn’t hold back anymore. He sent another message.

Austin: [Cam, I’m free today. What did you want to talk about last night?]

Half an hour later, she finally replied. Cameron: [It’s nothing now.]

Austin stared at the screen, stunned.

‘What does that mean-“nothing now“? Is he not mad anymore?

A faint smile tugged at his lips.

Guess I made the right call by not seeing him last night.’

He made a mental note to be more careful next time.

It had just been the sight of Cameron and Bradley together, looking way too close, that triggered him. He’d panicked.

Austin: [Cam, want to grab dinner tonight?]

He needed to make sure she was really over it.

Cameron: [Can’t.]

Austin froze.

For some reason, that single word felt ice cold.

Chapter 555

Austin: [How about tomorrow night?]

Cameron: [Can’t.]

Austin: [The day after that?]

Cameron: [Can’t.]

Austin: [??]

All he got was “can’t“-across the board.

‘Did I get it wrong? Is he still mad after all?‘

Austin: [Cam, are you still upset about last night?]

Since Xander had already ratted him out, there was no point pretending anymore.

Still, Cameron didn’t respond.

After a while, he sent another message.

Austin: [Cam, can we talk? Please give me a chance to explain.]

Cameron: [I gave you that chance last night.]

She had reached out first, and he’d brushed her off.

Then he’d immediately turned around and called Xander.

That was enough. No need to waste another minute.

Austin stared at her message. His stomach dropped.

So it wasn’t just in his head–Cameron was mad.

‘That idiot Xander… what the hell did he say? Did he twist it somehow? Made things worse? Why else would Cam be this upset?‘

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. A nervous chill crept over him.

Austin: [Cam, I messed up. Please give me another chance to explain, okay?]

Austin: [I’m free anytime. Just tell me when and where–I’ll come pick you up from work, if that’s easier.]

Austin: [Cam…]

He fired off over a dozen messages in a row. But not a single reply came back.

His amber eyes flickered with worry.

He hadn’t expected his little stunt to piss Cameron off this much.

Mad enough to ignore him entirely? That had never happened before.

Seeing no response, Austin didn’t dare push it further.

He didn’t even dare show up at her office uninvited.

He’d just have to wait. Wait for her to come back to Noble Vista and then explain everything face–to–face….

Chapter 555

Eddie had slept until noon and didn’t get to Viremont until almost 3 PM.

Bradley messaged Cameron.

Bradley: [Eddie’s in Viremont. Want to grab dinner together tonight?]

Cameron: (Sure. Let’s go back to Silvermoss Castle.)

After what happened with Austin, she figured he might try to come find her.

So she decided not to go back to Noble Vista for now.

Bradley: [You off at six? I’ll come pick you up.]

Cameron: [Sounds good.]

At 6 PM sharp, Elijah was already waiting for Cameron in the cafeteria.

For days now, they’d been sticking to the same routine–heading to work together, eating dinner together, walking out together.

As soon as he arrived, his phone buzzed with a message from Cameron. Cameron: [Elijah, I’m not going back to Noble Vista tonight. Just wanted to let you know.]

Elijah was holding his phone in one hand and two empty trays in the other.

He stood there in silence for a few seconds, then slowly returned the trays to the counter, and replied. Elijah: [Got it.]

His deep eyes dimmed a little.

He left the cafeteria and headed home.

It had been a while since he’d been back anyway–today seemed like as good a time as any.

As Elijah stepped out the building’s main entrance, he caught sight of Cameron across the way.

Just as he was about to call out to her, she opened a car door and slid inside.

He recognized the car instantly.

It was Bradley’s.

‘So Cam isn’t going back to Noble Vista–because of Bradley? But doesn’t Brad live at Noble Vista too? If they aren’t going there… then where are they going?‘

Elijah watched the car pull away in silence.

His eyes seemed to lose a little more light.

Cameron sat in the back seat.

Eddie turned around from the front, grinning like a peacock in full display. “Hey Cam, long time no see. Did you miss me?”

Cameron gave a small wave. “Eddie, long time no see.”

Eddie fluttered his famously flirty eyes, “So? Did you miss me?”

Cameron didn’t answer right away.

‘Did I miss him or not?

As Bradley drove, he glanced over at Eddie and said flatly, “Has no one ever told you your smile isn’t actually that charming?”

Eddie blinked. “Excuse me?”

He shot Bradley a deadpan look. “Brad, I’m starting to question your entire taste level.”

“My taste is perfectly fine, thanks,” Bradley said without flinching.

Eddie turned quickly back to Cameron and beamed. “Cam, do you think my smile’s ugly? Come on, tell the truth–I’m obviously irresistible, right?”

Some people couldn’t stand being called unattractive–especially the ones who knew they weren’t.

Cameron couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re handsome.”

Eddie really was. When he smiled, those fox–like eyes of his could practically flirt on their own.

“See? I knew it,” Eddie said, raising his brows triumphantly.

Bradley turned the wheel and muttered, “That’s just Cameron being too polite to tell the truth.”

Eddie blinked. “Excuse me?”

Cameron didn’t answer right away.

Eddie narrowed his eyes at Bradley.

Then, slowly, he started to smile again.

‘Is my little brother… jealous? No way. Cut it out. Don’t go there. Brad’s totally straight. Totally.’

Eddie looked back at Cameron again. “Cam, Brad told me you got a perfect SAT score. That’s seriously impressive.”

“Thanks, Eddie. I got lucky.”

“Cam, you are way too modest.”

The conversation flowed nonstop.

Eddie could talk to a brick wall. Bradley only managed to get a few words in here and there.

When they arrived at the hilltop villa, Cameron opened the door and headed straight toward the backyard to find Pearl.

Eddie immediately jumped out after her. “Cam, wait up!”

Bradley shut the car door behind him and watched Eddie run off, frowning slightly. “Maybe inviting him was a mistake.”

After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room, casually chatting.

Bradley turned to Cameron. “Since Eddie’s here, if you’ve got any questions, he might be able to help.”

Eddie smiled and patted his chest proudly. “Cam, tell me anything. Talking people through stuff is kind of my thing.”

Bradley deadpanned, “You might want to stop smiling then. You’re seriously unpleasant to look at when you do.”

Eddie blinked. “Excuse me?”

Chapter 555

‘Yep. He’s jealous. No doubt about it. I didn’t even do anything, and he’s already jealous? This is bad;

Cameron glanced at Bradley, confused. “Brad, are you in a bad mood today?”

Bradley blinked.

‘Am I? I am not, not really!

But the second he saw Eddie flashing that ridiculous smile at Cameron, something in him just… soured.

He smiled faintly and shook his head. “No, I’m in a great mood.”

“You sure? You sound kind of mad every time you talk to Eddie.”

Bradley blinked.

Eddie arched a brow.

‘See? Even Cam’s picking up on it.’

Bradley cleared his throat. “You’re overthinking it. That’s just how we always talk to each other.”

Eddie squinted at him. ‘Since when?‘

They absolutely did not talk like that. But Eddie let it slide.

He toned down the grin and asked seriously, “Cam, if there’s anything bothering you, you can talk to me. I’m serious–I know what I’m doing.”

Cameron fell silent.

She understood why Bradley had brought Eddie here. He meant well.

And truthfully, Cameron wasn’t completely clueless about psychology either.

But even doctors couldn’t treat themselves.

She paused for a while and then shook her head. “Eddie, I don’t think I need that right now.”

Eddie looked over at Bradley.

Bradley gave a slight shake of his head.

Eddie smiled. “Cam, if you’re Brad’s friend, you’re my friend too. If anything comes up, just hit me up. You’ve got my number.”

Cameron nodded. “Thanks, Eddie. I won’t be shy.”

In the end, she didn’t say anything more.

Some things were just too private–too personal to share, even with someone studying psych….

Meanwhile, Austin was sitting on a bench along Cameron’s usual route home.

He waited and waited. By midnight, still no sign of her.

Vincent finally broke the silence. “Sir… is it possible Mr. Wallace already went home? Maybe he took the parking garage?”

Austin shook his head. “He doesn’t drive.”

Vincent hesitated. “But… what if someone else gave him a ride?”
