FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 2 introduces Crystal and her father's acquaintance, Kevin Pieterse, a man almost a head taller than her with short hair and a stern face. Crystal is surprised and disdains Kevin, seeing him as the type to deface walls and litter in a dolphin's tank. Kevin greets her, but she dismisses him, saying she will fetch the paint to cover the graffiti on the aquarium wall. Kevin laughs and folds his arms, seeming to mock her. Crystal can't believe she's going to spend the entire December holiday seeing his face as he has to do 160 hours of community service, amounting to eight hours a day, five days a week, for four weeks. It's a punishment she feels is just as harsh on her as it is on him. As she retrieves the paint tin from her father's pickup, a man named Uncle Jules offers to help. Uncle Jules is the night guard for Aqua World, and he finishes his shift at half-past seven in the morning. Crystal declines his offer and tells him to have a good sleep. Uncle Jules is supposed to stay awake all night on his shift, but sometimes he falls asleep. Her father is aware of this but feels too bad to do anything about it, considering his age. It's been a week since some boys broke into the aquarium. She thinks Uncle Jules still feels guilty about it, having not awoken from the noise. Hauling the heavy paint can to the dolphin tank, she scowls at Kevin—who stands aside, arms crossed, looking like a tourist—believing he should be the one carrying the paint given his community service. She leaves him to paint over his reported graffiti with a warning that she'll need his help later to feed the sharks—something she secretly hopes he'll find unpleasant. When she leaves, Kevin receives a splash of water in the face from Ginger, the dolphin. Crystal finds this amusing, marking a temporary victory for Ginger over Kevin.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 2 ontmoet Crystal, die dogter van die eienaar van 'n akwarium, die jong man, Kevin Pieterse, wat verantwoordelik was vir die vandalisme by die akwarium - inklusief die graffiti en die wegwerp van sigaretstompies en drankbottels in die dolfyn tenk. Kevin is langer as Crystal en het kort hare en 'n sterk gesig. Crystal toon dadelik haar afkeur toe sy hom sien. Ondanks sy onbeskofte gedrag, het Kevin 'n vonnis van gemeenskapsdiens ontvang en moet hy by die akwarium werk vir die hele Desembervakansie - agt ure per dag, vyf dae per week, vir vier weke lank. Crystal is opgewonde en wonders wie die ergste gestraf word - sy of hy? Crystal haal verf om die graffiti te bedek, sukkelsukkel dra dit na die dolfyntenk terwyl Kevin, ondanks sy gestraf, voel asof hy 'n vakansie het en niks doen nie. Oom Jules, Aqua World se nagwag, bied aan om haar te help, maar sy slaan hom vriendelik van die hand. Hy is nog steeds skuldig omdat hy aan die slaap was toe die vandalisme plaasgevind het. Terwyl sy besig is met haar taak, ontmoet Ginger, die dolfyn, Kevin, deur hom vol in die gesig met water te spat - 'n handeling wat Crystal laat lag. Ter afsluiting van die hoofstuk, is die telling: Ginger die dolfyn - 1, Kevin Pieterse - 0.
