She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802

Britney flashed her professional smile. “Got caught up binge–watching and lost track of time.”

“What show was that good?” her coworker asked curiously.

Britney casually mentioned some random series name. She hadn’t slept well the night before, and her energy had been dragging all day.

When her shift ended, Britney clocked out immediately and headed straight home.

Standing at her front door, Britney took a deep breath. ‘Is Gavin back?‘ she wondered.

Britney punched in her code and opened the door, her eyes immediately going to the couch. Gavin wasn’t there.

Disappointment flooded her expression as she pulled open the shoe cabinet. Sure enough, Gavin’s slippers sat neatly arranged inside–he still hadn’t come home.

Hazel was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and several dishes were already set out on the dining table.

“You’re back, Mrs. Yates,” Hazel called out when she heard her come in.

“Yeah,” Britney replied weakly.

She sank onto the couch, settling into the exact spot where Gavin always used to sit. Her palm pressed gently against the cushion as an empty ache settled in her chest.

Sharp as she was, Britney knew the truth–she was falling for Gavin. It made perfect sense, really. He was incredible and had been so good to her. Of course, she’d developed feelings.

But having feelings was one thing. Being together was something else entirely.

Before her emotions got any deeper, she needed to cut her losses.

Hazel quickly finished preparing dinner and glanced around the living room. “Mr. Yates didn’t come home again today?”

Britney pulled out a chair and sat down, her tone flat. “Hazel, you don’t need to come tomorrow.”

Hazel looked surprised. “Why not?”

“Because I’m moving out,” Britney said simply.

She’d planned to tell Gavin that she was leaving yesterday, but he never came home. She’d text him later.

“What? Moving out? Mrs. Yates, did you and Mr. Yates have a fight?” Hazel asked.

Britney shook her head. “No.”

Seeing Britney’s expression and noting that Gavin hadn’t returned, Hazel knew the couple must have had an argument.

Drawing on her experience, she offered advice. “Mrs. Yates, it’s normal for couples to fight. Men have their pride, you know? Sometimes women can just give in a little, act sweet, and everything blows over. Every marriage has arguments–1 can tell Mr. Yates is a reasonable man.”

Hazel went on with her well–meaning lecture while Britney listened quietly.

After Hazel finished speaking, Britney finally responded, “Hazel, you’ve got it wrong. We’re just friends.”

Hazel’s face went blank with shock.

“Hazel, you can head home now,” Britney said.

“Okay.” Hazel snapped back to reality and nodded.

After Hazel left, Britney gripped her fork and slowly ate the meal Hazel had prepared.

The food was delicious, but it might as well have been cardboard in her mouth.

Hazel had made enough for two people, and Britney forced down most of it. She scraped the leftovers into the trash, then washed the dishes and fork until they gleamed before putting them in the cabinet.

Once everything was cleaned up, Britney settled onto the couch and pulled out her phone.

She messaged Gavin: [Gavin, thank you for everything these past few months. I’m planning to move back to my own place tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know.]

When she hit send, Britney tossed her phone aside like it was burning her fingers and headed to the bathroom for a

shower.

When Gavin received Britney’s message, he instantly shot up from his chair.

“Gavin?” Cameron looked up from her plate.

Anxiety creased Gavin’s handsome features. “Britney’s moving out!”

“Hey, relax. Let me see.” Cameron gently pulled Gavin back into his seat and took the phone from his hands.

Bradley leaned over to look at the screen, too.

“Gavin, hasn’t Britney asked why you haven’t been home these past few days?” Bradley asked.

Gavin’s eyes turned sharp as daggers, cutting straight through Bradley.

Bradley cleared his throat. “What I mean is–maybe Britney sent you this message on purpose. You know, to get you to tell her where you’ve been?”
