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 ce. Sienna frowned and asked, “Sarah, don’t you think Carlisle seems to have
changedpletely?”
Sarah scoffed disdainfully and continued, “He’s just ying hard to get. He’lle 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 ssroom 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 vocabry while the other students trickled into the
ssroom.
Sarah nced at Carlisle, who was studying hard, and smiled faintly. He was working hard to get into
Rivend 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 Rivend University even if he worked hard. The teacher
would surely mock him when it came time to fill out the college applicationter.
As the bell rang for ss to begin, Lucy entered the ssroom with a mug in her hand. The ssroom
fell
silent.
“The next month is crucial. I n to rearrange the seating to ensure that everyone can study with
peace of mind!” Lucy informed the ss of her intention to rearrange the students‘ seating n like
other
sses.
Students who werecking shouldn’t be paired together as they would distract each other from
studying. So, she nned to seat those with poor grades with those who performed well.
Sean immediately bent down as he feared Lucy noticing him. He had even nned 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 ss representative fornguages.
Yet, Carlisle was impressed. This was a targeted solution as Sean wasn’t doing well innguages,
especially with readingprehension. 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 hisnguage 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 nced at Sean and said, “It’s thest 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 ke sat in the third–tost row. His deskmate was Timmy Leen. Not only was he
unattractive,
but he alsogged in academicspared 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 exined, “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 sses had shown
improved results after switching seats. She had to find ways to improve her ss‘ college admission
rate.
Sarah nced at the burly Quentin, and a hint of disgust shed 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 ying 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 ss 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 ss period was spent rearranging seats. Many students had started revising together with
their new deskmates,
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 nce at Carlisle and asked, “What is it?”
“I would like to switch seats too,” Carlisle said earnestly.
“Your grades aregging in all subjects. It won’t make a difference where you sit…” Lucy mercilessly
crushed his hopes.
Most of his ssmates burst intoughter.
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 inte
and dating previously. Even if he worked hard now, Ms. Turner would think he was merely cramming at
the
Lucy looked at his disappointed expression and didn’t have the heart to bring him down any further.
She exined reluctantly, “It’s not that I don’t want to change your seat but look around the ss. Who
would be willing to sit with you now aside from Sean?”
“Ms. Turner, I’m willing to do so!” A voice responded softly.
Lucy was taken aback as she looked at Wanda in astonishment. Not only Lucy but the other students
were also stunned.
The ss monitor was willing to sit next to Carlisle? A top student and a low achiever. Was this a joke?
Lucy shook her head and refused, “No, you’re the only one in our ss with a chance to enter a
prestigious university. I can’t allow him to drag you down!”
Wanda’s cheeks flushed red as she whispered, “Carlisle had been studying hard recently. Why not give
him a chance, Ms. Turner?”
“Studying hard? Studying hard to write love letters to Sarah?” Lucy brought up the matter furiously.
Several studentsughed mockingly, Lucy then shook her head helplessly. She pondered for a moment
before saying, “Alright, I’ll move him here for three days first.
“I’ll let him stay in this seat if he’s doing well for these three days. If there are any signs of him holding
you back, I’ll immediately move him away!”
Wanda nodded gently and felt her heart beat a little faster. After all, she had never been a deskmate
with a boy in high school before.
Carlisle tidied up his textbooks excitingly and switched seats with Lily Green, who had been sitting next
to
Wanda.
She red at Carlisle with a face full of resentment and said, “Just three days, we’ll switch back seats

after three days!”
Carlisle smiled faintly and replied, “Let’s talk about it after three days!”
With the seat rearrangementplete, Carlisle moved from thest row to the first row.
While seated by the window, Sarah felt puzzled when she saw Carlisle’s smile. Why didn’t he request
to be her deskmate when he had such a good opportunity? She had even nned on how to politely
refuse him.
Soon, the first ss ended, but Lucy didn’t dismiss the ss. Instead, she went to the office and
brought back a stack of college application forms.
In this era, students filled out their college preferences before taking the SATS. However, in some area
they started implementing a system where students took the exams first before filling out their
preferences.
Then, Lucy informed the ss by saying, “E
