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?

Chapter 9 Beginning

In chapter 9 Claudia told her sister she should really go upstairs and lie down because of her cold. She knew her sister was tired too from playing the three set. 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.

Chapter 8 Ending

In the end of chapter 8 Cassie and TJ have their tennis match. When Cassie agreed to the tennis match she didn't know TJ meant with an audience. 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.

Chapter 8 BEGINNING

The weather wasn't all that good and Cassie started feeling under the weather. When the family got to the tennis courts they decided to leave because the ugly weather. When Cassie and Claudia got home Cassie started talking about how she thought she looked terrible and how she might be coming down with a fever. After hearing that Cassie wasn't feeling that good and she looked terrible, Claudia kind of felt happy because then TJ wouldn't find her attractive or whatever I guess. She thought to herself for a while and then started feeling guilty for being happy about her sister being ill.

Chapter 7

In chapter 6 Claudia, Cassie, TJ and Don went to Herman's amusement park. Claudia had a big lunch that day and went on one too many rides and ended up getting sick on the whirling swings. She threw up pretty much everything she ate after getting off that ride. TJ suggested some ginger ale to calm her stomach and Cassie suggested TJ and Don take her and her sister home. TJ agreed. When TJ and Don dropped Cassie and Claudia home, TJ told Cass that he would phone later that night to make sure Claud was all right. When Claudia got home she decided to take a nap. When she woke up she went downstairs to eat dinner. When she was at the table, her mother asked her why she wasn't eating salad, or much of anything for that matter, that night. Cassie told their parents what happened to her poor sister earlier that day. After dinner the Fletcher's decided on playing a game of Parcheesy. While in the middle of their game the telephone rang. Claudia thought to herself, TJ said he would phone later tonight to see if I was all right. Could that be him? Not wanting to look desperate she told her sister, Cassie, to answer. Sure enough, Cassie was already at the phone picking up the reciever. It was TJ- making sure Claudia was all right. After a few minutes Cassie came back to her family and told them that TJ and Don were inviting Cassie and her sister to watch a movie the next night. Cassie told her sister and parents that she agreed and didn't think that it'd be a problem. She was right. Claudia was ecstatic she was going to be able to spend more time with TJ and the girl's parents thought the two boys were good, respectable and kind boys. The next night the four teenagers went to the movies. After the movie, Cassie and TJ ended up betting on who would win a game of tennis between the two of them. Not all that happy that she agreed to play in that tennis match, worried she was going to embarrass herself, she was still kind of happy that she would spend more time with TJ. Later that night when the twins got home, they got ready for bed pretty fast, they were tired from their night out. Before sleeping though, Cassie decided she should journal again. In her diary entry she wrote about how she was playing before when she said that she was falling 'in love' with TJ but how these days, she was sure she really was falling for him. She also journaled about how she thought her sister was, too!

Chapter 6

In chapter 6, Don, TJ, Cassie and Claudia have the tennis match they had planned since the 4th of July. TJ and Claudia had one the match, defeated Don and Cassie. After the four teenagers were done playing tennis they decided to go to Herman's. Herman's was the amusement park in Green Lake. But before they went to Herman's, they chose to swim first. When they were walking on the dock Claudia and TJ were talking about how TJ thinks that Don likes Cassie. After swimming came Herman's. Claudia had ended up eating too much for her own good and riding way too many rides that day. The four had already gone on a few rides but decided they wanted to go on the swings that swung around and around also. Claudia didn't think it'd be the best idea but she went anyway because the other three were cheering her on saying that she was going to be allright and it would be fun. Sure and soon enough, Claudia gets on the swing. She tries biting down on her teeth for a little while to refrain from throwing up but after a little while she couldn't do it and- she threw up! Cassie told her sister that it was going to be allright and that TJ was going to take them home. When TJ dropped Cassie and Claudia home he told Cassie that he would phone later that night to make sure that Claud was okay. Claudia went upstairs and took a nap when she got home. Before she slept though, she couldn't help but think about how TJ viewed her now. She was thinking TJ for sure got turned off by her throwing up. After a while, she decided that if throwing up in front of TJ and Don had, in fact, turned them off, that they were nothing to worry about.

She then begins to think that her sister Claudia is right when she says that TJ likes Cassie. She after that, she begins wondering what it would be like to kiss TJ. Little does Cassie know, though, that her twin, Claudia is thinking about a similar subject. Claudia starts thinking about how TJ might like her, but not exactly the way that a boy likes a girl when he wants to date her. She still strongly believes TJ likes her sister Cassie- she says she can tell. However, she goes back and remembers how he troubled to find out what interests her. Maybe he does like her? In the middle of thinking, Don walks up and says hello to the Fletcher girls. Cassie and Don start to walk together to admire the fireworks that start. Claudia doesn't get too upset because she was all right with enjoying the fireworks alone. However, TJ comes up soon after Cassie and Don leave.
