Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 5

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 

during the day! 

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

Damn! Worrying about things that might never happen only increased their chances of happening! 

Sean looked at Herman Townsend, who sat in the third row from the center. His deskmate was Abigail Stephenson, the class representative for languages.

Yet, Carlisle was impressed. This was a targeted solution as Sean wasn’t doing well in languages, especially with reading comprehension. She probably wanted Abigail to tutor him. 

But what puzzled him was that there wasn’t a scene like thin where sents were rearranged in his past life. It must be because of his rebirth that shifted the trajectory. 

“Ms. Turner, I don’t want to sit with Carlisle!” Herman protested. 

He finally managed to improve his language results after so long. If he sat with Carlisle, all the hard work would go to waste within a month! 

Lucy’s expression turned cold. “Then do you want to sit next to the podium?” 

Herman immediately backed down. He pursed his lips and silently organized his textbooks. 

Sean scowled miserably. “It’s over. My joyful times are over!” 

Carlisle glanced at Sean and said, “It’s the last month now. Study hard. With Abigail here, if you put in a 

little more effort, your grades will definitely improve!” 

Lucy continued rearranging the seating and said, “Sienna, switch seats with Quentin!” 

“I don’t..” Sienna rejected without hesitation. Her grades weren’t too good as well, and all she had to do 

was to rely on Sarah for help. 

Quentin Blake sat in the third–to–last row. His deskmate was Timmy Leen. Not only was he unattractive, 

but he also lagged in academics compared to Carlisle. 

Although Carlisle’s grades were poor, and was a foolish boy, at least he looked decent! Otherwise, why would Sarah keep giving him false hope? 

Lucy explained, “Sienna, your other subjects are fine except for physics. Meanwhile, Quentin’s physics. grades are passable. You can help one other!” 

She had carefully considered the seating arrangement. After all, the two other classes had shown improved results after switching seats. She had to find ways to improve her class‘ college admission rate. 

Sarah glanced at the burly Quentin, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. ‘Ms. Turner, I don’t want to sit next to a guy!” she protested 

Quentin came from the countryside and had arms thicker than her thighs. He liked playing basketball, and he always smelled sweaty. She wouldn’t sit with such a country bumpkin. 

However, Lucy’s decision was not something a student like her could change. Quentin still ended up 

sitting next to Sarah. Sarah felt aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes. 

Quentin had never been close to such a pretty girl before. He scratched his head, blushing. Then, he said awkwardly, “Sa… Sarah, I’ll talk to Ms. Turner after class if you don’t want to sit with me!” 

Sarah turned her head away as she didn’t even want to respond to him. As long as she ignored him, the new seating arrangement would be ineffective. Then, Quentin would be repositioned eventually. 

The whole class period was spent rearranging seats. Many students had started revising together with

their new deskmates, 

3/4 

Lucy smiled satisfactorily, pleased with the results of the seating rearrangement. Why didn’t she think of 

this earlier on? 

“Ms. Turner.” Carlisle suddenly raised his hand. 

Lucy cast a disdainful glance at Carlisle and asked, “What is it?” 

“I would like to switch seats too,” Carlisle said earnestly. 

“Your grades are lagging in all subjects. It won’t make a difference where you sit…” Lucy mercilessly crushed his hopes. 

Most of his classmates burst into laughter. 

Carlisle sighed. Was Ms. Turner really this disappointed in him? 

But it was indeed his fault. He had never focused on studying as he had been addicted to the internet and dating previously. Even if he worked hard now, Ms. Turner would think he was merely cramming at the 

last minute. 

Lucy looked at his disappointed expression and didn’t have the heart to bring him down any further. 

She explained reluctantly, “It’s not that I don’t want to change your seat but look around the class. Who would be willing to sit with you now aside from Sean?” 

“Ms. Turner, I’m willing to do so!” A voice responded softly.
