In Chapter 5, Olive is having a tough time figuring out her feelings for Adam. She's caught between wanting to keep things casual and realizing that she might actually like him. During a group study session, things get heated when they start arguing about their project. It's a friendly argument, but Olive can't help but feel a spark when they're bantering back and forth.
After the study session, Olive and Adam go for coffee, and it's way more fun than she expected. They talk about their interests, and Olive discovers they have a lot in common. Adam shares some of his favorite science experiments, and Olive is totally into it. She loves seeing this side of him, and it makes her heart race.
Later, Olive realizes that she's been daydreaming about Adam a lot lately, and it hits her hard: she might be falling for him. But then she starts panicking. What if this is all a huge mistake? What if she ruins their friendship? She talks to Anh about it, and Anh encourages her to take a chance and see where things go with Adam.
The chapter ends with Olive feeling determined to figure out her feelings. She knows she can't just pretend anymore; she has to be honest with herself about what she wants. It's scary, but she feels ready to take the next step.
Reflection:
Chapter 5 was intense! I loved how Olive's feelings are really coming to the surface now. It's cool to see her struggle with what she wants, and I totally get that. It's hard to figure things out when you like someone. I'm excited to see what happens next and if she'll finally tell Adam how she feels!
