Chapter 11

In the last chapter Cassie goes to meet up with TJ during his lunch break. On his lunch break Cassie explains that the other person Claudia was referring to was actually her and that she didn't have no one back home. She explained to him that Claudia thought she had actually had a crush on him and that she felt guilty for going out with him like she was. TJ was confused at first but relieved in the end. He thanked Cassie for filling him in and then dashed off to the Green Lake store so that he could call Claudia.

Chapter 10 Ending

In the second part of chapter 10 Claudia goes on her date with TJ. She wants to feel happy because she loves TJ and she just learned TJ loves her too but she feels the total opposite because she knows how her sister Cassie feels about TJ- she's in love with him too! On their date, Claudia kind of makes it noticable that she's unhappy and TJ doesn't miss it. He asks her what's the matter and the first time she brushes it off. Thinking taking a walk would make things better, TJ invites Claude to take a nice walk after dinner. On that walk, Claudia begins to cry and she ends up telling TJ certain things which leads him to belief that there is someone else back home and that she didn't want to be with him- that she couldn't be with him- solely because she didn't want to hurt the other person. After TJ starts to think that Claude has a boyfriend he tells her that he could take her home if she wanted. All she wanted to was to go home and be alone now so she agreed. When she got home she went straight to sleep. The next morning the girls' parents asked how their girls' nights went and Claudia didn't say much. She said she and TJ had dinner then he took her home quite early. Cassie told her family that she had actually had a good time with Don, the clutz. After eating breakfast Claudia goes on a walk with Cassie and tells Cassie what happened the night before. Feeling kind of guilty, Cassie immediately runs back to their cabin leaving her sister confused. She ended up going back to their summer cabin to call TJ and telling him what happened- what the real story was.

Chapter 10 Beginning

In the beginning of chapter 10 Claudia wakes up kind of tense. She's tense because she remembers the night before. What happened the night before? Well, she had went out to the meadow with TJ in his canoe and he had confessed his love for her. Doesn't seem like anything to be tense about right? Right. Except maybe the fact that Claudia's twin sister Cassie is head over heels in love with TJ also! Claudia was tense because the night before she had ended up telling Cassie what happened. She decided to go for a walk that morning and have some time to herself. She needed to think about her and TJ, about her and her sister, about everything. When she returned half an hour later she found her parents and her sister about to eat breakfast. Neither her or her sister ate that much and their parents noticed. They asked the girls what the matter was but the girls knew better than to let their parents know they were uncomfortable with each other because of some boy they had just met. Later after breakfast Claudia told her sister that TJ had invited her to dinner with him that night. Cassie then told her sister that Don had actually invited her out with Pat and her boyfriend also so it was okay that her sister go out with TJ.

Chapter 9 Ending

In the end of chapter 9 TJ takes Claudia down to the meadow in his family's canoe to watch the deers feed during the sunset. Claudia was feeling kind of bad because she was alone with TJ when she knew her sister was crazy in love with him but at the same time she liked it- she liked TJ. It was completely silent when all of a sudden TJ asked Claudia "I wonder if it's true, if two people with braces who kiss get their braces stuck together." Then soon enough TJ put his arm around her and he leaned foward for a kiss. After the kiss Claudia felt like she was in a dream. She was scared because she didn't know what she was going to tell her sister but once again, at the same time, she didn't care, she was happy. After sitting there for a little while TJ had explained to Claudia that he had been wanting to kiss her since the first day they met and it was her that he liked, not Cassie. After hearing that Claudia explained to him that she always liked him too and she liked him alot but she just always thought it was Cassie he liked seeing as how much they had in common. When the two decided it was getting late and TJ should take Claudia home, TJ asked Claudia if she would like to go out with him the next night, just him and her and Claudia said she'd love to but she just had to make sure her family wasn't doing anything together first. Before you knew it Claudia was home and had to face her sister. After trying to hide it Claudia ended up telling Cassie that TJ had kissed her. She tried her hardest to not to but her sister kept asking what happened, why she heard TJ 's voice, what they did and why her sister didn't wake her up. In the last few sentences of the chapter you can notice that Cassie was very upset at what had happened. She was the one that was in love with TJ after all, right?

Cassie did feel under the weather and was exhausted so she took her sister's advice and went upstairs to rest up. While Cassie was sleeping her family was downstairs watching TV when Claudia noticed something coming near their summer house's dock. She soon recognized TJ on a canoe. When TJ got off the canoe he told Claudia he was there to see how Cassie was, just wanted to check up on her. Claudia knew her sister was crazy for TJ but didn't know if she wanted to exactly wake her to let her know TJ was there. She decided to not wake Cassie. TJ soon told Claudia he also came there for ask if she and Cassie would like to go deep down in the meadows to watch the deers feed while sunset, it was supposedly very beautiful, nothing like it. Claudia felt bad for wanting to go with TJ alone but she decided to just go- without her twin sister. With her mom's permission she got into the canoe with TJ and headed down to the meadow.

When she went to the courts with her sister and parents, Cassie was kind of nervous because she didn't know she was going to play in front of all these people she didn't know. Before the game started TJ walked up to Cassie and told her he had hurt his foot by stepping on a piece of glass so he wouldn't be able to play on it for that long. He asked her if they could just play threee sets instead of the five they had decided on and she was fine with it too, explaining she was kind of coming down with a cold. Anyway, the tennis game was coming to a close when Cassie had to decide whether to hit the last ball coming towards her and win or let it pass her and let her crush beat her. She decided to go for it but it turned out it just wasn't enough and TJ won the match.
