Chapter 638
As Calder’s words hung in the air, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze.
‘That was way too blunt,‘ someone thought. Seven pairs of eyes turned to Elijah.
Elijah’s heart was actually trembling. After eighteen years, this was the first time he’d ever liked a girl. And it was also his first time confessing to a girl.
He could feel his heart racing with excitement and nerves.
Everyone was waiting for Elijah’s answer.
Cameron and Sienna were both convinced that Elijah liked Amelia.
But in the very next moment, Elijah spoke up, his voice steady but soft. “The girl I like is Cameron.”
Sienna’s mind went completely blank. She stared at Elijah, utterly stunned. ‘Wait, it’s Cameron?‘ Sienna thought, completely floored. She’d been so sure it was Amelia all along.
But Amelia had seen it coming. “I knew it–you really do like Cameron,” she said, sounding totally unfazed.
Amelia was well aware of just how popular Cameron was. However, she honestly hadn’t expected Cameron to be this popular.
Even with her tomboyish style, Cameron had somehow managed to make Elijah, Bradley, and even Austin all fall for her at the same time.
‘If she ever put on a dress, I bet she’d drive half the guys on campus crazy,’ Amelia thought.
Lila clapped her hands. “Elijah, you like my idol? Nice taste.”
“Yeah, nice taste,” Calder echoed.
Tyler grinned, “Hey, Elijah, does she even know you like her?”
Elijah slowly turned to look at Cameron, while Cameron was at a complete loss for words.
When Elijah said her name, she froze on the spot, totally stunned. ‘Wait, Elijah likes me?‘ Cameron thought, her mind going blank.
The way they interacted had always been perfectly normal, never even close to crossing any lines.
‘Why would he like me?‘ Cameron thought in disbelief.
While Cameron was still stunned, Elijah turned to look at her. For a moment, their eyes locked.
Cameron was completely stunned into silence.
Elijah looked at her and said, “Cameron, I like you. But I never wanted my feelings to pressure you, so I kept it to myself until now. Sorry.”
Cameron remained silent.
Elijah was nothing like the impulsive Xander or the pushy Austin. Even though Cameron had just heard Elijah confess, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at
all.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Elijah, thank you for liking me.”
After hearing that, a small smile slowly spread across Elijah’s lips.
He’d witnessed firsthand how Cameron had turned Austin down–and the whole thing had been pretty rough. So, he didn’t plan any kind of grand confession.

Instead, he just took the chance during the game to let her know how he felt.
He simply told her that he liked her. Whether she wanted to respond or not–that was entirely up to her.
When Cameron thanked him, Elijah’s smile grew a little wider. ‘Thank goodness I didn’t mess this up, he thought. He hadn’t ended up ruining their a friendship like Austin did.
Tyler cleared his throat. “So, are we going to keep playing?”
“Yes,” Elijah said.
And just like that, the game went on.
