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 Eliana tuition , Eliana 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 Isanstead 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 ' " Diana , hey ! " Thomas called out with a grin . Eliana smiled back at Thomas , " Hi , Thomas . " Thomas quickly explained , " Ellana , I had some important things to take care of this morning , 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 . " glanced at Cameron and reluctantly said , " He's fine . " Then , Landon and Adam stepped forward to greet Eliana . " Hi , Eliana ! " " Hey , you guys . Eliana responded . Thomas introduced them with a grin , " Meet Landon and Adam . " 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 tell 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 to Ellana 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 ?" Eliana asked . "I usually have lunch from 10:30 until 2 : 390 in the afternoon , Cameron replied casually . Eliana furrowed her brow at his unusual eating habits . Cameron raned an eyebrow . " Are you coming or not ? " Before Diana could respond , Thomas dashed over . " Eliana , come on , I show you around campus . " Cameron Cameron shot Thomas a cold look , and Thomas immediately understood the unspoken message . He quickly adjusted , saying " Cot it . C you're hungry , right Let's go eat first . " Cameron gave a small , satisfied snack . 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 hall The four of them usually avoided the dining hall , but they made an exception for Eliana , accompanying her there to make do with a quick meal . 1/2 0 1027 PM Chapter 9 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 table by 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 little 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 Elana'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 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 Claneron 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 Quartet ? " 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 Eliana's background . Despite the fact that Eliana had treated Cameron to the meal , Cameron barely ate . 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 i meal doesn't count . I barely ate anything . Next time , you owe me another one : Eliana raised an eyebrow , a hint of irritation crossing her face . The nerve of this guy ! What a cheek ! " she thought , her frown deepening .
