Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 10

“Sarah, did you hear that? Did Carlisle really just call her that? Sienna asked with wide eyes. Wasn’t such a term overly intimate?

The current generation of high school kids tended to be on the conservative side. Any sudden terms of endearment would cause people to overthink.

Hence, Carlisle’s words had shocked Wanda and Sienna

“So what? He called me that before!” Sarah said as she pretended hard to be nonchalant. There was still hint of anxiousness in her gaze.

Not only did Carlisle refuse the Coke she had bought for him, but he also rejected her invitation to play badminton together.

Sarah was worried that Carlisle would give up pursuing her as she would be humiliated if that happened. Meanwhile, Wanda moved to sit under the shade as she watched Carlisle play basketball. There was a conflicted expression on her flushed face.

Carlisle was skilled, so his opponent had no chance to score.

Wanda watched him happily.

After some time, Carlisle walked toward her. He sounded slightly breathless as he asked, “What do you think? Did I dazzle you?”

“What?”

Wanda blushed as she looked up at Carlisle and quickly looked back down after meeting his gaze. Her voice was soft as she said, “You were stunning.”

Carlisle was around five feet eight. His short hair and distinct facial features paired well with the sharp look in his eyes. However, the mature look in his eyes did not match his age.

“I think so too!” Carlisle laughed cheekily as he complimented himself.

“You’re such a narcissist!” Wanda said as she turned to head back to the school building.

“Hey, Wanda, do you want to play a game of badminton? Carlisle shouted behind her.

Why did his tone sound so endearing?

Wanda’s face flushed red as she quickened her steps.

Later, Carlisle went to the lockers to change into some clean clothes before returning to their classroom.

He wanted to revise for his SATS with Wanda.

Just as the two of them were focused on their revision, a girl in a ponytail came over and stood before

Wanda’s desk.

“Wanda, could you explain one of the questions in our chemistry homework? The girl’s voice was soft as she looked at Wanda nervously

“Of course,” Wanda said as she looked up and smiled.

Carlisle also looked up.

Immediately, his eyes widened in shock
