Being Eve

15-year-old Eve Baxter dreams about having her perfect match, but when presenting speeches on Modern Romances, she expresses her doubts about love. Then Adam LeBeau enters her class...

Most of the Eden Heights High student body are invited to beautiful, popular, blonde Charlotte's house party-except for Eve and other so-called 'geeks'. Crestfallen at not being invited to the party, Eve seeks advice from her kind elderly neighbor.

Watching Charlotte get Adam's attention, Eve wishes she could be the lucky recipient, so when Alannah invites her to come shopping, Eve eagerly agrees: maybe some new fashions will catch his eye.

Eve is tired of always being the 'good girl' so she skips study hall and sneaks out of school with Matt. Sylvie remains behind covering their trail and basking in a male classmate's interest in her.

The day before the big Social dance evening, the robotic principal warns all the students about being too intimate with one another at the event. This only gives Eve the urge to kiss Adam, and she confesses to viewers that she has only kissed 3 boys.

Adam invites Sylvie to a movie, to her delight-which turns to disappointment when he tells her to bring Eve and Matt. Sylvie too has developed a crush on Adam.

Eve is plagued by nightmares about being forced to choose between Adam and Sylvie. Later, Eve and her schoolmates going on a camping trip chaperoned by her mother and Mr. Inglewood.

Adam's alcoholic mother has had an accident and Eve's family invites him to stay with them while she recovers. Eve finds having her crush in her home strange, and ponders if a boy and girl really can be 'just friends.'

Eve and Matt have a difficult time communicating after their kiss; she also has trouble reconciling her feelings towards Adam. Matt endures bullying from Jared while preparing for a dance audition.

Eve deals with her feelings about being in a committed relationship with Matt, as well as her unease about dating someone of Māorian descent. Their relationship is further strained when Caleb's Māori friend is chosen to be in Matt's music video and Caleb is not.

A classmate, Philippa, suddenly passes away and Eve is anxious about attending her funeral. Sylvie believes she is cursed because she forgot to return Philippa's pen, so she holds a seance to seek Philippa's absolution.

Alannah's driving desire to get pregnant puts a stress on both Baxter households. After numerous failed attempts at getting pregnant, Tim and Alannah decide to marry, ruining Eve's hopes that her parents will reunite.

Eve intends to break up with Matt so she can begin dating Adam, but she chickens out of telling Matt, though she tells Adam she did tell Matt.
