Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Wanda stepped out of the classroom, followed by Sarah. Sienna immediately put down the snacks in her hand and followed suit as she saw Sarah heading downstairs.

“Sarah, are you going to look for Carlisle?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while since I played badminton. I want him to accompany me for a game.” After days of intense studying, Sarah wanted to relax a bit.

Sienna glanced at Wanda ahead and whispered, “It seems like Wanda is looking for Carlisle too?” Wanda and Carlisle had been getting very close for the past few days, which naturally raised suspicions.

“Wanda excels in all subjects, and Carlisle probably just wants her help for tutoring. Looks like he’s determined to get into Riverland University.”

Sarah felt somewhat conflicted. For the past three days, she had felt like a complete stranger to Carlisle.

She hated this feeling

“Hmph, I’ll eat my hat if he can get into Riverland University,” Sienna scoffed disdainfully. Carlisle’s academic performance was obvious to everyone, since he often ranked bottom in exams.

Getting into a Tier 3 university was already pushing it. But now, he was aiming for a Tier 1 university? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Carlisle was playing basketball at the sports field with a few male classmates. The weather in June was scorching hot, and Carlisle and Sean’s basketball jerseys were already soaked through.

“Carlisle, catch!” Sean spun around and passed the ball to Carlisle beyond the three–point line. With the ball in hand, Carlisle immediately jumped and shot.

Swish! The three–pointer was a success.

“Nice,” Sean shouted and raised his fist while jumping.

Hey, Carlisle, have you been practicing secretly?”

“Unbelievable, how did that even go in?”

A few opponents were devastated.

“Luck, it was just pure luck. Keep it down,” Carlisle wiped his sweat with a smile.

“Huh, here comes Sarah… Sean squinted at Sarah, who was holding a cold Coke. Several male classmates also turned their gaze toward her.

“Is the Coke for Carlisle?”

“Could it be for you instead?

“Carlisle is so lucky!”

The others watched enviously, yet even Carlisle was surprised. There wasn’t a scene in his previous life where Sarah bought him a Coke when he played basketball!

It was almost as if his rebirth had shifted the trajectory and changed Sarah as well.

Soon. Sarah and Sienna arrived at the sports field. Sarah handed the chilled Coke to Carlisle and said, “It’s hot out here. I bought you a cold Coke. It’s refreshing!

Carlisle looked at Sarah in a daze. If not for his reincarnation, he should probably have been overwhelmed with excitement now, right?

As he remembered that Sarah hadn’t visited him even during his last moments, he took a deep breath and silently lowered his head.

“Hehe, are you touched? It’s the first time Sarah has offered a drink to a guy!” said Sienna with her chin up. She seemed to imply that being offered a drink by Sarah was an honor.

“Carlisle…

Just then, Wanda approached with a box of bottled water. Her slender figure struggled with the heavy box, and her forehead was slick with sweat.

Sean quickly stepped forward to carry the box and asked, “Wanda, did you get this for us?”

Wanda stole a glance at Carlisle and then nodded.

“Wanda is so considerate. Come on, let’s all have some water!” Sean grinned and began distributing the

bottles.

“Thank you, Wanda.”

“You’re so kind!”

“Thanks!”

The classmates thanked her while they took the water. Sarah’s face turned sulky as if she had eaten a fly.

She felt like her spotlight had been stolen. Was Wanda deliberately opposing her?

Sienna saw Wanda’s gloomy face and said sarcastically, “Wanda, with your family’s wealth, you’re buying bottled water only?”

Wanda blushed slightly and muttered, “My mom says that drinking too much carbonated drinks is bad for

your teeth.”

“But isn’t it only bad for you if you drink too much? A little wouldn’t hurt, right?” Sienna continued to argue

with her.

Wanda looked at Carlisle and said, “I… I’ll exchange it for Coke then?”

“What for? Mineral water is fine!” Carlisle took a bottle of mineral water from the box and drank half of it

in one gulp.

The ice–cold mineral water was incredibly refreshing. After a few sips, he felt cool to the core.

“Ah, it feels good.” Carlisle looked at Wanda with a satisfied smile, “Thanks, Wanda.”

“You’re welcome.” Wanda lowered her head, with her fair and delicate neck flushing red.

Wanda was so shy. Carlisle withdrew his gaze and chuckled secretly.

“Carlisle.” Sarah glared at Carlisle.

“Why?” Carlisle looked surprised.

“Why aren’t you drinking the Coke that I bought for you?” Sarah’s voice trembled. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she appeared pitiful.

Carlisle coughed and said indifferently, “What’s the difference? Besides, I’m not a fan of carbonated drinks!”

“Hmph… If you don’t want it, forget it then!” Sarah huffed, then handed the Coke to Sean. “Sean, you have

this!”

Sean glanced at Carlisle and shook his head continuously, “I don’t like carbonated drinks either. Mineral water is quite refreshing!”

Sarah stared dumbfoundedly at Sean. She had never imagined a guy would reject her kindness.

The sports representative, Isaac Keller, chuckled and said, “Give it to me then, I love Coke!” Without hesitation, Sarah handed him the Coke, afraid that her gesture would go to waste.

Sienna spoke up for Sarah coldly, “Carlisle, Sean, you guys really don’t know how to appreciate kindness!” Sean shrugged indifferently while Carlisle remained calm as he didn’t care about Sienna’s mood.

After Sarah calmed down, she turned to Carlisle and said, “Carlisle, accompany me to play badminton for a while!”

Previously, Carlisle had often invited her to play badminton, but she had always declined him. Now, she would take the initiative to invite Carlisle for a game. Besides, Sarah wanted to assert her dominance in front of Wanda, as she was certain that he would agree.

Wanda watched Carlisle from the corner of her eye, and her mood turned somewhat gloomy. She also believed that Carlisle would surely agree to Sarah’s request.

In fact, Wanda also wanted to ask Carlisle to play badminton, but she was too shy to ask.

“No, I have to study later.” Carlisle shook his head and rejected Sarah’s request. He was no longer the lovesick puppy who would come running whenever called.

“Carlisle, you…” Sarah was once again taken aback. How did Carlisle manage to reject her without hesitating? Had he really given up on her?

While Sarah was lost in thought, Carlisle finished the mineral water. Then, he said, “Let’s play another round, then go back to the classroom to study!”

sensed that Carlisle seemed less concerned about Sarah now and smiled brightly, “Sure, let’s

continue.”

“Dear Wanda, find a shady spot to rest!” With that, Carlisle turned and walked toward the sports field, leaving behind those words.

Dear? Did he just call her Dear? Wanda widened her eyes in disbelief as she watched Carlisle leave.
