Rule #2

The back-and-forth banter and near-misses made me wonder how much of it was exaggerated for the story. Did the chemistry feel authentic or a bit staged?

It's such a popular romance theme, but the way it plays out here feels fresh. I wonder if the high school backdrop influenced the story's humor and stakes.

Sometimes the banter made it feel light, but I also felt a genuine connection forming. Did anyone else feel the emotional moments came out of nowhere or were well-earned?
