Chapter 2
Chapter 2 “What’s wrong? Can’t I just go to the cafeteria for lunch?” Carlisle shrugged. “Oh, come on, you were going to get lunch for Sarah, weren’t you? Why don’t you get me one too?” Sean said as he rolled his eyes. “Alright, I’ll get one for you when I return,” Carlisle replied. He then headed to the cafeteria with a book in his hand. “You…” Sean was furious. Was this about not getting food for himself? At 1:30pm, Sarah and Sienna walked into the classroom hand in hand while smiling. “Sean, where’s Carlisle?” Sarah asked. Sean took off his earphones and glanced at Sarah impatiently. “No idea.” “Ugh, it’s so late now, yet Carlisle isn’t back yet. Does he want us to starve?” Sienna frowned and grumbled. Meanwhile, Sarah smiled, “Maybe Carlisle got held up on the way. He’ll probably be back soon.” While they spoke, Carlisle entered the classroom with a book in his left hand and two packed lunches in his right. The two quickly greeted him, “Carlisle, thank you so much.” Sean sighed helplessly. His friend was beyond redemption. Yet, Carlisle was puzzled. “Thank me for what? Sarah’s eyes t l d captivatingly as she spoke, “Of course, we thanked you for helping us with lunch.” “I didn’t bring you guys lunch!” Carlisle shrugged. “Alright, alright. You’ve brought back the food, Why are you pretending now?” Sienna said impatiently. She then reached out to take the lunch boxes from Carlisle’s hands. Carlisle stepped back swiftly to his seat. “Sean, finish your lunch quickly. We have class soon.” “Huh… I… This… Sean was stunned as he looked at the lunch box Carlisle had handed over. “Did you really get this for me?”
“Of course, didn’t you ask me to bring you lunch earlier? Carlisle replied while munching on his food. “Hehe, thanks.” Sean grinned. His mood lightened, so he started eating. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Sarah and Sienna stood by with their mouths twitching. Their expressions were as if they were constipated. They couldn’t believe their ears. Sarah clenched her fists and frowned. “Carlisle, didn’t you hear what I said about lunch?” “I did.” Carlisle nodded. “Then why didn’t you bring us lunch?” Sarah was annoyed and asked. “Because you didn’t pay me.” Carlisle shrugged. Sarah’s eyes widened. She had never paid him whenever requesting him to bring her lunch. It was supposed to be his honor, yet he dared to ask her for money. “Then… Then, why did you bring lunch for Sean? Did he pay you?” Carlisle nodded seriously. “Sean paid for me at the internet café yesterday. Thus, I ought to buy him lunch. “You…” Sarah was speechless. She wanted to refute, then realized she had never given Carlisle anything. Sean almost choked on his food. He then put his arm around Carlisle’s shoulder and said, “Carl, let’s go to the Internet café together tonight. It’s on me.” Carlisle shook his head and replied, “I don’t have time. I have to study.” Sarah saw the two ignoring her and said furiously, “Carlisle, I’m mad with you right now. Don’t bother me in the future.” With that, she left in a huff. Sienna pointed at Carlisle and said, “Carlisle, you better apologize to Sarah this afternoon, Hmph! Sarah, wait for me.” Sean warned Carlisle with a glance. “Carlisle, you’re not allowed to go anywhere this afternoon. 1 “Where would I go? I have to study this afternoon,” Carlisle replied and took another bite of his lunch. Then, Carlisle continued, “The baked eggplant in the cafeteria is good. Try some.” Sean directly grabbed some from the lunch box and said, “My favorite.” The first class after recess was math. Carlisle took out his math book and felt like he was looking at hieroglyphs with all those formulas. His heart tightened.
He could handle language subjects, but how would he tackle math, physics, and chemistry? He racked his brain to recall the last question that came out for math in his previous life’s SATS. As soon as the class ended, Carlisle walked to the front row with his math book. In the front row, Sienna had been adjusting her bangs while looking in the mirror. Seeing Carlisle’s figure in the reflection, she nudged Sarah next to her and whispered, “Sarah, Carlisle is coming over.” “Hmph.” Sarah turned her head with her arms crossed over her chest. Her chin was held high with pride as she said, “So what? He won’t be forgiven so easily. He must pay the price of agitating me.” Sienna agreed and nodded earnestly. “Exactly.” Her stomach was rumbling as well, so she couldn’t forgive him so easily. Carlisle arrived at Sarah’s side with his math book. Yet, Sarah simply turned her head away, and said in a disdainful tone, “Didn’t I tell you not to bother me anymore?” Chapter 2 373 What is he being so pretentious for? He’d still have to apologize to her obediently in the end. She waited for a while but didn’t see Carlisle’s reaction. She felt puzzled and turned back to see him with his back to her. Carlisle stood in the aisle, facing the class monitor who sat in the first row with a smile, “Wanda, I have a question I’d like to ask you.” The class monitor, Wanda Thompson, slowly raised her head as she pushed up her thick glasses. She blinked innocently and asked, “Which question?” As the class monitor, site was very willing to help classmates who were not good at studying. Not only. could she help her classmates, but she could also enhance her own knowledge. “It’s this one.” Carlisle pointed with his pen. Wanda then looked at the question in the book seriously. Carlisle didn’t dare to disturb her and stood quietly by her side. After so many years, he realized for the first time that he had never really observed Wanda. Although she wasn’t at the level of a school belle, her facial features were delicate and without any flaws. She also had
short hair. In his previous life, he didn’t interact much with Wanda because she focused solely on her studies, while he had his mind set on Sarah. He only knew that she came from a wealthy family, and was easily admitted into Riverland University. Wanda worked at her family’s company shortly after graduation and had gotten married later. She was also considered a winner in life. Wanda pursed her lips and pondered for a long time. This question was quite difficult. She felt that she couldn’t solve it in just ten minutes. She raised her head and said to Carlisle, “Um… Carlisle, why don’t I explain it to you after school? Class is about to start soon.” “Okay, thanks, Wanda.” Carlisle knew the difficulty of the question, but he believed Wanda could handle it. He turned and went back to his seat. Sienna was bewildered. She glanced at Carlisle and then at Sarah. “He… he just left like that? Why hasn’t he come to apologize yet?” she asked. Sarah clenched her teeth and spoke coldly,” He probably feels embarrassed to apologize in front of so many people.” “Really?” Sienna was skeptical as she thought that something was off about Carlisle today. Sarah shrugged confidently and said, “Of course. He must have heard that I’m aiming for Riverland University, so he’s starting to put in some effort now.”
