Summary - Chapter 2

                                    

                                          
In Chapter 2, Olive is still freaking out about her impulsive kiss with Adam. She can't believe she actually did that, and now she has to pretend they're a couple. It's awkward, and Olive is trying to play it cool, but inside, she's a mess.
The next day, she runs into Adam at school, and it's super uncomfortable. He's acting all chill about the kiss, like it was no big deal, but Olive can't stop blushing. She has no idea how to talk to him, and every little interaction feels like the world's most awkward first date. Adam makes some sarcastic comments, which are funny but also make Olive feel even more nervous.
During a lab meeting, Olive and Adam get paired up to work together, and she's both excited and terrified. Working with him means she has to keep up the act, and she's worried about what happens if someone finds out the truth. Olive tries to focus on their research, but she can't help stealing glances at Adam. He's smart, and she admires how passionate he is about science.
As they work together, Adam starts opening up a bit, and Olive realizes there's more to him than just his grumpy exterior. He has a dry sense of humor that she finds really attractive, even if he does tease her a lot. By the end of the chapter, Olive starts to feel like maybe pretending to be with Adam isn't so bad after all. It's complicated, but she's excited to see where things go.

Reflection:
This chapter was super interesting! I mean, Olive is totally in a weird situation, but it's funny to see how she's trying to act normal around Adam. It makes me think about how sometimes, pretending can actually lead to real feelings. I can't wait to see what happens next. Are they going to start liking each other for real? This is getting good!
