Olivara

"Um.. Can I kiss you?"

- Sara's first words to Oliver in Episode 1

Olivara is the het ship between Oliver Yang and Sara Lin from The Kiss Bet fandom.

Season 1
On Sara's birthday, Patrick makes a bet with her since she never had her first kiss. Patrick bets her $5 that she wouldn't go up to Oliver and ask if she could kiss him. At first, Sara refuss, but gives in after Patrick jokes about giving her $50.

Sara notices that she was wearing the same shoes as Oliver and that Oliver was kinda cute. As Sara is about to wake up Oliver, the train wakes him up. Sara asks Oliver if she could kiss him, to which Oliver says no and calls her a weirdo. Patrick, Vicky, and Sara run into the train and left Oliver behind. Oliver has to walk to Joe's apartment in the rain since that was the last train.

At school, Sara's teacher recommends Sara a tutor for her to meet after school. While walking home from school, Sara noticed Oliver in front of her and hides in some bushes. Sara sees him walking into the apartment building she lives in. She follows him in and sees him walk into the apartment across the hall from her apartment. Sara sighs and walks into her apartment, slamming the door.

A new student is introduced at school and Sara thinks it is Oliver at first. The new student turns out to be someone named Joseph, or Joe, and all the girls, including Sara, fall in love with him.

After school, Sara meets up with her tutor and finds out he is Oliver. Sara meets with Oliver with a different hairstyle, a scarf covering her mouth and circle glasses, in an attempt to hide her identity. Oliver already knows it is her since he received Sara's student file beforehand. Sara is left to believe that he didn't recognize her.

Patrick makes another bet with Sara that she couldn't talk to Joe by the end of the day. The loser has to do the winner's homework for a week, and Sara loses. The next time Sara meets up with Oliver for tutoring, she doesn't bother with a disguise. Sara vents to Oliver about the bet and claims her life sucked. After she finishes, Oliver just asks if she was done, to which Sara says he's a robot since she only heard about calculus since she met Oliver. Oliver mentions that he was supposed to help Sara understand calculus, not get paid to hang out with her. Oliver says it was difficult to help Sara understand, to which Sara says it was probably because he was a terrible tutor. Sara says he also needed to work on his people-skills and worry about the reasons why she struggled with calculus.

Oliver forcefully asks how Sara's day was and why she was so upset. Sara says she isn't going to tell Oliver since she doesn't know him. Oliver quietly gathers his things and leaves. Sara quickly apologizes to Oliver and asks him not to leave as she needed him to pass math. Oliver complies and Sara swiftly starts working on math before Oliver stops her.

Season 2
It's revealed that after Patrick and Sara's kiss, Patrick told Oliver to make sure Sara got home safe. In present time, Joe asks Oliver if he would go for Sara romantically. Oliver becomes rather flustered and tells Joe to do whatever he wants. Joe mentions that Oliver said once that he though redheads are cute. Oliver leaves to take out the trash.

After school the next day, Sara runs into Oliver on the walk home. Sara apologizes about Oliver having to be there for all the crazy drama the other night. Oliver says it's fine and mentions how he volunteered to be part of some of the crazy drama. Sara asks about how Oliver and his brother just moved into town. Oliver replies with a short response which prompts Sara to ask many questions. In those many questions, Sara asks about Oliver's mom getting married. Sara stops herself to ask if that is a sensitive topic and tells Oliver that he doesn't have to answer. Oliver answers anyways and their conversation continues. Their conversation stops when the two get to their own apartments.

After learning that she might not get into university if her grades remain the way they are, Sara asks to talk with Oliver. Oliver asks if her professor said something. Oliver also asks why Sara doesn't just listen to him. Sara tries to explain and starts crying. Joe then asks Sara to be his girlfriend which causes Oliver to leave. Sara notices and Oliver says to leave him out of what's happening. Joe asks if Sara got in a fight with his brother and Sara runs off, crying, saying that everything is okay.

Season 3
After coming home from her date with Patrick, Sara goes out to her balcony and cries, saying she just wants things to be how they used to be. Oliver, who is also on his balcony, notices Sara and calls out to her. Sara is surprised and asks what Oliver is doing spying on her in her personal crying space. Oliver defends himself by stating that he is in his house and that Sara was the one who came out to disrupt his privacy. Oliver says he didn't even realize their balconies are connected and asks how he was supposed to know. Oliver suggests that Sara should go in her room to cry. After Sara says that her room is too messy to cry in, Oliver lets her cry where she is and says he won't look at her since he's busy.

After crying in silence for a bit, Sara tells Oliver that it's too awkward and she doesn't feel like crying because of him. Oliver asks what Sara is crying about and guesses that it's because of boys. Sara confirms Oliver's guess and tells him it's Patrick. Sara tells Oliver about her problems and mentions she's embarrassed that Oliver keeps running into her boy drama. She also says that Oliver already thinks she's a weirdo and that everything she told him confirms it. Oliver tells Sara that there's nothing wrong with being weird and that she should just embrace it. Oliver says that weirdness makes most great artists stand out more and be more interesting and that non-weird people are boring.

Sara asks if Oliver thinks she's interesting. Oliver is flustered and starts blushing but covers it up saying he just called Sara a weirdo. Though, he does confirm that weirdos are definitely interesting. Sara starts to laugh which causes Oliver to smirk. The two continue their conversation and Sara asks Oliver if he's working on lyrics for his song. Oliver says yes and that he sucks at it. Sara reassures him and tells him to just write about his feelings because he can't go wrong with that and that's what she normally does. Oliver brings up that Sara agreed to help Oliver in exchange for tutoring. Oliver also brings up the subway incident which causes Sara to ultimately agree to help Oliver.

Oliver thanks Sara for her help and leaves, saying he'll see her on Monday at lunch. Sara then guesses she'll have to write a song to pass the midterm exams.

Fanon
Olivara is rivaled by Satrick, Jara and Skyliver, although it seems to be a lot more popular than those ships. Many shippers started shipping Olivara since the first episode when Sara asked to kiss Olivara. Others started shipping after thinking that Satrick and Jara wouldn't work out due to the circumstances. Olivara can be shipped alongside Pammy and Joeky. A lot of artwork for Olivara comes from the author of The Kiss Bet herself, Ingrid Ochoa. This is another thing that causes people to ship Olivara.

The ship currently only has 7+ works on AO3.
