Chapter 14 Summary: “Olivia”

Liam, his teammates, and Olivia Mercer walk to the diner, talking about math class. Olivia notices Tyler Martinson at the diner. Olivia and Liam decide to split a vanilla milkshake. Tyler purposely bumps into Liam on the way to the bathroom. When he comes out of the bathroom, he passes their booth again and suddenly falls to the ground. Tyler accuses Liam of tripping him, which Liam denies. Tyler accuses Liam of showing off for Olivia and asks if she knows Liam is a “psychopath.” Liam responds that if Tyler believes he’s a psychopath, he should be careful since Liam knows a lot about Tyler’s family. Tyler looks scared and leaves quickly. Olivia asks Liam if he used to be friends with Tyler, but he denies it. They share their milkshake, sitting closely and touching. When Olivia’s mom arrives to pick her up, Liam tells her he’s happy she came and suggests getting together another time. Olivia is sad he didn’t formally ask her on a date or kiss her.
