When Lila’s mind isn’t on her father, she’s thinking about boys. The summer before, while visiting relatives in Boston, she fell in love with a boy named Ted Whitlock. For once in her life, Lila learned what it was like to be looked down upon. The Whitlocks are old, old Boston society—their ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Ted was crazy about Lila, but his parents didn’t approve. Lila wasn’t socially acceptable as far as they were concerned. Nevertheless, Lila and Ted managed to sneak out together quite a bit. They played tennis, went for long walks, and hid out in museums and movie theaters. When it was time for Lila to return home, they kissed tearfully and promised to write. Well, Lila wrote—five letters. Ted wrote her once—to ask her why she hadn’t written. Lila’s positive his parents have been intercepting the letters she sent him. The one time she tried to phone, Mrs. Whitlock icily informed her Ted wasn’t home. Lila is desperate for some way to show Ted she still cares. He’s the most fantastic guy she’s ever met—also the richest and most well-connected. The boys she’s dated at Sweet Valley High are nothing compared to Ted.
Lila’s dream is to marry Ted Whitlock someday. Also, she wants to become a professional tennis star like her idol, Chris Evert Lloyd. When she’s a big star, married to a man who’s even richer than her father, then Daddy will have to notice her, won’t he?
