Cross my heart and hope to spy
" I've always heard that the hardest thing for a spy isn't knowing things- it's acting like you don't know things you're not supposed to know" (Carter 152.
This quote is said by cammie after she hears somethings she isn't supposed to know. Cammie doesn't know who to tell or who to talk to after she hears this because one- she doesn't know if its code for something else 2- she doesn't know if it's true or not and 3- she doesn't know if it could hurt someone if she does tell someone. Even in real life it's hard to know whether you should tell a grown up or a person you trust something you over heard someone say or if you should just let it go and act like you never heard it in the first place. Sometimes in these kinds of situations you have to trust yourself and not tell anyone and just figure it out on your own. You will end up learning something about yourself and also possibly help other people. In the book cammie has to decide if she should let what she heard go or if she should explore and investigate it. Being a spy cammie of course decides to investigate the situation and learn about it further.

" wow..you're really not over Josh" (Carter 65).
This quote is said by one of Cammie's friends named Bex. Josh was Cammie's boyfriend in the first book, I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you. Cammie had to break up with Josh because he could not know how she really lived her life and what type of school she really goes to. At one point Josh did end up finding out the truth about Cammie , which was good because there weren't anymore lies between them. But in the end Cammie ended up giving Josh tea to forget everything that she ever told him about spying and her spy school she attends. Even though Cammie and Josh broke up Cammie is still in love with him. Getting over people is something that is very hard for people to do. The healing process after a break up can take a very long time if you truly loved the person. For the healing process to really work you have to let all of your feelings out in a healthy way otherwise they will come out through other things that could affect your life more. While it is good to cry and let your feelings out, you can't dwell on the past and let it control your life. After a break up it's hard to know what to do with your life and how to move on to better things but it must be done. In the end you realize that the break-up happened for a reason and truly did make your life better even if it a takes a while to see that.

Time is a strange thing at the Gallagher Academy. Usually it flies. But sometimes it gets really, really slow. Needless to say, this was one of those times" (Carter 45).
At the Gallagher Academy the girls know how to stop time, speed up time and even reverse time but sometimes time can seem to go very slow to them. Especially when they are doing an operatives mission. Cammie needs to attach a camera on her watch to take pictures of her moms office so she can figure out what her mom, Ms.Morgan and her teacher, Mr.Solomon were talking about. When cammie is discribing the mission she explains how time seems to last forever.
Time is a very strange thing and can go very fast or go very slow. When you look back on your life when you're older you realize how fast the years went and some things you missed because of time. Other times time seems to drag on when you are doing something boring or something scary. My favorite part of the quote above is the " usually it flies" part because i believe it is so true. There comes a point in ones life when you realize how time is slipping through your fingers and how you can hardly grab onto it. In life you need to learn how to do the things you adore and be with the people who you love and whom love you back. Life is too short to live with regrets and take for a granted.

"But Liz hadn't grown up knowing that lies aren't just the things we tell- they're the lives we lead" ( Carter 25).
This quote is after Cammie, Bex, Liz and Macey over hear Mr.solomon and Cammie's mom ms. morgan talking about something "top secret". Cammie wonders why her mom and one of her teachers would keep a secret from her especially when her name is mentioned in this top secret conversation. Cammie is also saying that spies tell lies more then they tell the truth- lying is part of being a spy. In real life a lot of people do lie. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. There are many different types of lying- little white lies aren't too bad if they aren't extreme lies but spy lying , well thats a different story. Spy lying is very hard to detect, even cammie has a hard time telling when her mom and her friends are lying or telling the truth. I think that people should never lie because lying just leads to bad things. An example of this from the book is that when cammie has dinner with her mom in her moms office and cammie wears her camera watch to take pictures of everything so she can come back to snoop later and know where to put everything back and later lies to her mom about it. This kind of lying is extreme and not right. In my opinion people shoouldnt try to put lying to a minimum.

Cross my heart and hope to spy #1
I just finished reading I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you, so how i am reading the sequel to that which is called cross my heart and hope to spy. In this book all cammie wants is peace in her life. Ever since she broke up with josh she has promised herself and her classmates that she wont put them in danger (since she did when she snuck around to see josh). In the first few chapters cammie josh visits the school and finally learns the truth about cammie. But what josh doesnt know is that he was giving a drink that makes you forget things so cammie is worried josh wont ever remember she even exists. So far in the book cammie is really striggling to keep her word and stay out of trouble.
