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?
