Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 5

Carlisle stopped with his deep gaze fixed on Sarah, who lowered her head shyly.

“What does it have to do with me?” Carlisle shrugged indifferently, baffled by her. Then, he whistled while he pushed his bike through the school gate.

Sarah froze in place. Sienna frowned and asked, “Sarah, don’t you think Carlisle seems to have changed completely?”

Sarah scoffed disdainfully and continued, “He’s just playing hard to get. He’ll come crawling back to me begging for attention if I ignore him for a day!”

Sarah was confident in her looks. Yet she couldn’t fathom Carlisle suddenly giving up on pursuing her.

“I knew it! Sarah, you’re stunning, so how could he possibly give up so easily? Turns out he’s just changing tactics!” Sienna said affectionately, while linking her arm with Sarah’s and giggling.

Carlisle entered the classroom and immediately noticed Wanda revising diligently. If even those who outperformed him were hardworking, he had no excuse not to work hard.

He returned to his seat and began memorizing vocabulary while the other students trickled into the

classroom.

Sarah glanced at Carlisle, who was studying hard, and smiled faintly. He was working hard to get into

Riverland University.

Her words had caused such a drastic change in him. How could he possibly give up pursuing her?

Too bad that he couldn’t get admitted into Riverland University even if he worked hard. The teacher would surely mock him when it came time to fill out the college application later.

As the bell rang for class to begin, Lucy entered the classroom with a mug in her hand. The classroom fell

silent.

“The next month is crucial. I plan to rearrange the seating to ensure that everyone can study with peace of mind!” Lucy informed the class of her intention to rearrange the students‘ seating plan like other

classes.

Students who were lacking shouldn’t be paired together as they would distract each other from studying. So, she planned to seat those with poor grades with those who performed well.

Sean immediately bent down as he feared Lucy noticing him. He had even planned to catch up on sleep

“Sean, switch seats with Herman!” Lucy said with a stern look at Sean.
