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.
