Summary
Mr. sappey knowing Claudia's secret ran the story in the from page news paper with the headine "Hollywood Starlet Hiding Out At Snider High". Mr. Sappey sold out Claudia's secret so he could make his movie of his dream that he had always wanted but never got the chance. The principal of Snider High called Claudia into his office and showed her the newspaper. Within 40 minutes Snider high hallways was filled with students waiting to see their own famous student Claudia. There was paparazzi outside the the school swarming everywhere like flies. While escaping from the pricipal's office with her Aunt Trudy claudia noticed the face of everyone who she had lied to and especially to Eli. Claudia was taken to Aunt Trudy's boyfriend's house and there became her new hideout until the search for her cooled down. Sam and Morgan's mother came by after they saw on the news what her daughter was going through in Indiana. After a lot of argument about whether Morgan should go back home with her mom mor stay in Indiana to complete her mission, Morgan finnally decided to stay because she was tired of being pushed around.

" I mean it's one thing to pretend to be claudia Miller, going to High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana, it's entirely another to play the same part as myself" ( Douglas 259).
Summary
I think that Claudia made the best decison she could have made by staying in fort Wayne to finish her education . I feel like being herself was the best choice she choose to make since the beginning of the the book. With her making decisons fro herself and being her own person shows that she has matured from being a little teen celebrity to being a woman. It really shows how much she has learned since coming to live in fort Wayne, Indiana where the whole story began.

" it's no use. I'll never catch up. And no, I'm not exxagerating who would have
thought that missing a couple of days of school could put a girl this far behind?" (Douglas 196).
Reaction
I really feel like i can relate to this qoute. It says a lot of truth. When i missed School for like three days and came back I missed a month's worth of work. I also think that if she tried to get the work done she could succeed. But, I definitely think that schools need to lessen makeup work, becuase it's not some students fault that they missed school.

" but I can't apologize for falling in love with Sam, because he is the second best thing that ever happened to me, right after you" (Douglas 155)

The message that i can get from this qoute is that love conquers all. I agree with the quote because when you love someone, you just live in the moment. You don't worry about what is going to happen in the long run. I think that her mother did her for apologizing to claudia for for she did, because it shows that she cares about her daughter's feelings.
