Chapter 9
At that moment, Eliana remembered who these four were.
Before her time–travel, due to Willow’s manipulation of Andy and Victoria to deny Elians tuition, Ellata had been forced to work part–time to earn money, so she didn’t pay much attention to what was happening on the school forum.
But she had heard of the four most powerful figures at Isonstead University: Cameron, Thomas, Landon, and Adam.
When Eliana overheard people mentioning Cameron’s name at the school gate earlier, it had rung a bell, but she couldn’t quite figure out why Now, standing here and seeing them all together, it finally clicked.
As the four of them approached, Cameron fixed his gaze on Eliana and said to Thomas, “Your cousin looks like she’s in shock
Thomas was just as stunned as Eliana. He had always heard people say Eliana was unattractive, but he never expected her to be so beautiful.
He muttered a string of curses under his breath, “Who the fuck said Eliana was ugly? Seriously, what kind of idiot comes up with that shit? They better hope I don’t find out who started this bullshit, or they’ll regret it.”
“Eliana, hey!” Thomas called out with a grin.
Elana smiled back at Thomas. “Hi, Thomas
Thomas quickly explained, “Eliana, I had some important things to take care of this moming, so I couldn’t pick you up. I was worried you’d be late, so I had Cameron go instead. You two didn’t have any issues, right? Cameron’s actually a good guy, just a bit cold.”
Khana glanced at Cameron and relictantly said, “He’s fine”
Then. Landon and Adam stepped forward to greet Eliana. “Hi. Elianar“,
“Hey, you guys,” Diana responded.
Thomas introduced them with a grin, “Meet Landon and Adain. Then, with a playful glint in his eye, he threw in, “Heads up, you two–don’t even think about pulling any crap with Eliana. And Eliana,” he smirked, keep an eye on these guys. Total pigs, the both of them!”
Landon shot back, “Who the hell are you calling a pig
Adam smirked. “Come on, Tommy, there’s something I need to fell you
With that, Thomas was pulled away by Landon and Adam, and Eliana couldn’t help but laugh at their playful bickering
Cameron smiled when he saw Eliana’s smile and said, “Let’s go”
“Where for Eliana asked.
“You said you’d treat me to a meal, Cameron replied with a grin
Eliana glanced at the time. It was only 10:30, well before lunch.
“Do you eat this early!” Eliaba asked.
“I usually have lunch from 10:30 until 2:30 in the afternoon,” Cameron replied casually,
Elana furrowed her brow at his unusual exting habits.
Cameron raised an eyebrow. “Are you coming or not?”
Before Eliana could respond, Thomas dashed over. “Eliana, come on, I’ll show you around campus
Cameron shot Thomas a cold look, and Thomas immediately understood the unspoken message. He quickly adjusted, saying, “Got it. Cameron, you’re hungry, right! Let’s go eat first.”
Cameron gave a small, satisfied smirk.
Since she had a freshman party to attend in the afternoon, Eliana didn’t want to be late, so she decided to head to the Isonstead University dining
The four of them usually avoided the dining hall, but they made an exception for Elana, accompanying her there to make do with a quick meal.
1/2
The Isonstead University dining hall was incredibly well–designed, resembling an art museum from a distance. It had three floors, and the food offered spanned a variety of international cuisines.
Cameron and the others found it odd. They assumed Eliana was visiting the dining hall for the first time, yet she seemed completely familiar with the place.
After ordering their food, Eliana paid with her credit card, and they chose a cabl
the window.
One of Eliana’s favorite dishes in the dining hall was the meatballs. Although she wasn’t particularly hungry at first, the sight of the meatballs made her mouth water, and she couldn’t resist trying one
Cameron and the others barely touched their meals, only sampling a little. They weren’t hungry, and they weren’t used to the cafeteria’s simpler food quality.
Seeing Eliana eagerly eating a meatball. Cameron leaned back in his chair and asked casually, “Is it good!”
Eliana looked up, a liule sauce from the meatball on the corner of her mouth, and replied. “It’s good.”
Hearing this, Thomas couldn’t resist picking up another meatball from Eliana’s plate and trying it. “It’s just an average meatball, nothing special,” he said, frowning.
Before her time travel, Eliana had once managed to land a small part in a movie, but it was far from Isonstead University.
She’d spent half a
(a month saving money for tickets and accommodation. During that time, she survived on junk food and had longed for the cafeteria’s meatballs but had to pass on them to save money.
For Eliana, the taste of the meatballs wasn’t extraordinary, but it carried special meaning
As they ate a group of second–year students entered the dining hall, and they immediately recognized Cameron and his group.
“Hey, look, it’s Cameron and the new student who got off the car with him this morning!
“What’s going on? Cameron and the others are eating in the cafeteria Quick, take a picture and post it on the forum.”
This new student, who is she? She’s already eating with the Computer Science Quarter?
They hurriedly snapped a couple of photos and posted them on the forum.
The photos from this morning of Eliana with Cameron had already caused a stir online.
Now, with the addition of the cafeteria pictures, more discussions erupted and people speculated about Ellana’s background
Despite the fact that Eliana had treated Cameron to the meal, Cameron barely are. Eliana, not wanting to waste food, finished her entire plate and even let out a satisfied burp
As they stepped out of the dining hall, Cameron blurted. “That meal doesn’t count, I barely ate anything. Next time, you owe me another one”
Jana raised an eyebrow, a hint of irri her face. The nerve of this guy! Why a cheek!‘ she thought her frown deepening
