Chapter 4

In the beginning of chapter 4 Cassie and Claudia are just getting home from the Green Lake store where TJ Howard works. They get home and later that night they see that their parents are playing a game of checkers. Mrs. Fletcher, the twins' mother mentions that the Howards are coming the following night and the twins can't help but wonder if TJ will be coming also. Cassie and Claudia head upstairs and lay in their beds. Claudia attempts to read a book while her sister Cassie attempts to keep up with her daily diary entries. In Cassie's entry, she covers everything from the night that they arrive at Green Lake and what activities they've already done and the people they've met. She specifically talks about how Claudia thinks TJ likes Cassie herself and how she thinks that Don, TJ's friend and coworker at the Green Lake store, likes Claudia. After writing that she asks Claudia if she would like to read and she accepts. Once Claudia is done reading the two are laying in the dark when all of the sudden, Cassie shouts Thomas Jefferson. It turns out that Cassie thinks that that is TJ's real name. After discussing it for a while, the twins go to sleep. The next morning consisted of regular vacation-y stuff like sleeping in late, tanning, swimming, reading and having a good day's rest. Mr. Fletcher also ends up taking his daughters to the stables and rents three horses. When they three get back home, the girls go fro another swim and then get ready for the Howard's to come over. The twins decide to dress nice just in case TJ decides to come along. When the Howard's finally get there, Mr. and Mrs. Howard tell the girls and their parents that both their sons had other plans and could not make it. While the Howard's and Fletcher's are together they discuss the 4th of July barbeque bash.

Chapter 3

In chapter three of Love Times Two, Cassie and Claudia are finally on their way to the Green Lake store. They wanted to buy some postcards to send to their friends and their parents wanted some too. The Green Lake store is about half of a mile from the Fletcher's summer house. When the girls reached the store they looked around and noticed that the prices were through the roof just like TJ had said they would be. After looking around they began to wonder where their friend was, he was nowhere in site. While searching for TJ they came across the postcards and picked some out. There wasn't a price on the cards so they decided to ask a boy who was scanning prices on cans in one of the aisles. After approaching him, the girls learned that his name was Don. A little while after talking to Don, the girls hear a familiar voice. Soon enough, the twin girls turn around and it's TJ. TJ tells his coworker Don that the girls were invited to his family's 4th of July bash and that they were most likely to come. After buying the postcards and saying hello to TJ and meeting Don, the girls had left the store. It was when they began to walk the dusty road home when Cassie told Claudia how great it would be if TJ had liked her- like girlfriend liked her.

This is a poem a teenage girl wrote about her secret crush. I decided to pick this one for my blog because it's like the secret crush that so far, only Claudia has on new neighbor TJ Howard.

I think about you day after day,sometimes, I even plan out what I will say.
You have no idea; you have no clue, just how much I think of you.
I remember the time, I remember the day, I had no idea what I was going to say.
I remember getting lost while staring into your eyes; I must have made about a million of sighs.
I hope we could be together some time in my life, and sometimes at night, I dream I’m your wife.
I love you now and always I hope you can see, that if you gave our love a chance how happy we’ll be.
I’m going to bed, please be in my dreams, because in real life you don’t know what this means.
I will never forget you no way, not now; I know we’ll be together some way and some how!


This is a poem that I wrote that relates to Love Times Two in the sense that it's about a secret crush.The only difference is that in my poem, it's a boy that secretly crushes on the girl, whereas in Love Times Two, it's the girl that likes the boy.

I see you everyday and I just can't explain
How happy you make me, my feelings I cannot tame.
A day without you is like a day without the sun,
It's just not right, I end up missing you a ton.
I love how your hair is dark and long,
And you eyes so beautiful, the color so strong.
I've never explained to you how much I really care,
how much I wanna be with you, how not being with you, I can't anymore bear.
I'm not doing this anymore, hiding all these feelings.
I wanna tell you about my strange behavior around you, all their meanings.
I have to be yours, you have to be mine.
I won't have it any other way- if so, I'd rather die.

Chapter 2

In the second chapter of Love Times Two, Cassie and Claudia go with their father, Mr. Fletcher, to go for a little swim. On the oar on their way to the little lake's island, Claudia is stuck in a day dream. She is clearly thinking about her family's new neighbor TJ Howard. She was repeating over and over again what he had said to her earlier that morning, "You looked real graceful up there," in her head of course. She wouldn't dare let her family know her complete thoughts about TJ yet. It was pretty sudden, after all. Once Mr. Fletcher and his two daughters reached the little island, they all jumped in the lake. The two girls dipped for about ten minutes then decided they wanted to tan. They climbed up onto the deck and started talking about how they wanted to tell their friends they had gotten there safely and how beautiful it was. They came to the conclusion that a cool way would be to send all their friends a postcard each. They thought about where to go and it was decided that they would go to the Green Lake store, where, coincidentally, TJ worked. After their swim, they all went back to their summer house and started unpacking. While the two were unpacking they jumped into a conversation about how close they were, yet how different they individually were. An example of that is how they tell each other everything that happens with one another, but how they looked for different things when it came to guys and romance in general. They eventually got to how it'd take way more than a summer crush to come between them, also.

Chapter 1

The first chapter in my book introduced sisters, Cassie and Claduia Fletcher as well as their parents. Fraternal twins, Claudia and Cassie are 16 years old and are on vacation with their family at Green Lake. In the first chapter Cassie and Claudia were just about to have breakfast when their mother notices that they're about to recieve a visitor. Someone is canoeing their way towards their house. The person who was canoeing turns out to be TJ Howards, a Green Lake neighbor. Tj introduces himself and tells the Fletchers about him and his family. He also invites the family to his family's party on July 4th. He mentions after that, that he works at the Green Lake store and he is already running late so he must go. When the girls, Cassie and Claudia see that TJ is nowhere near and clearly out of hearing distance, they start discussing what they think of him. They come to an agreement that he is very cute and scores a nine on a richter scale from 1-10. Mrs. Fletcher, their mother, also says she thinks TJ is a lovely boy.

LOVE TIMES TWO;

I just barely started reading the book and so far it's about two sisters that go on vacation and end up falling for the same boy apparently. I read the back of the book and it says that Claudia and Cassie, the two sisters, vacation with their family at Green Lake and start liking the same boy, TJ. It also says that the sisters have always been as close as sisters can be. However, will their so-called love for TJ distance them from one another if one of them wins TJ's love?
