Author's note: Thankz again for all of your replies! You guys are awesome! I have a question tho. Do people like long or short stories better? Cuz I could finish this in like, 5 more chapters at the most, or I could add more storylines and make it longer. Please tell me what you think!

Lizzie walked hand in hand with Ethan over to the next course. Miranda and Gordo followed behind and the orange neon light blinking "Mini Putt-Putt" cast a strange color on their faces.

"Ethan, you're so funny," Lizzie was giggling as Miranda and Gordo finally caught up.

"My turn," Ethan put down his blue golf ball and hit it with his club. The ball bounced off a wall and rolled to a stop five feet from the hole.

"Phh," Gordo snorted.

"I'd like to see you do better," Ethan turned to him with a scowl.

"OK, I'll show you," Gordo retorted, as he set up his shot. He swung and hit the ball. It rolled right into the hole.

"Lucky shot," Ethan said, still scowling.

Lizzie and Miranda glanced at each other, their eyebrows raised.

"Uh, we gotta go to the restroom," Miranda said. "Keep playing without us."

Neither guy looked over. Ethan was getting ready for his next shot.

Lizzie and Miranda went inside and into the ladies' restroom. They stood in front of the mirror, fixing their hair.

"What is their problem?" Miranda asked.

"I don't know," Lizzie sighed. "They've been competing all night!"

"You don't think that-," Miranda turned to Lizzie with excitement, "That Gordo likes you!?"

"What?!" Lizzie looked surprised. "We've been best friends for as long as I can remember! Why would he like me?"

"Maybe he's jealous of Ethan! He sees that you're head over heels for him and he wants to be that guy!" Miranda squealed. "Which would explain the rancid competition between them!"

"Do you really think so?" Lizzie smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" Miranda asked. "Oh my God! You like Gordo too! That's so cute!"

"I didn't say that!" Lizzie blushed. "Honestly, I don't know what I feel for Gordo. It's so confusing… Come on, let's go," she turned and walked out.

Miranda pranced after her singing, "Lizzie and Gordo sitting in a tree, K-I- S-S-I-N-G!"

"Stop! That's so childish! We're in eleventh grade for goodness sake!" Lizzie told her.

Miranda lowered her voice to a whisper, but continued singing until Lizzie glared at her.

They went out and found the guys, who had already finished their game and seemed to be engaging in a stare down contest.

"Ethan?" Lizzie asked.

"Lizzie!" Ethan looked up with surprise. "Didn't hear you come up," he said as he got up and kissed her.

"I'm going home. Do either of you want a ride?" Gordo asked Miranda and Lizzie.

"Yeah, I do," Miranda said.

"I'll take Lizzie home," Ethan grinned at her.

"It's alright, I'll go with Gordo and Miranda," Lizzie said. "I live closer to them, so it'll be less out of the way."

"Fine. We're going to that dance tomorrow night, right?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah," Lizzie answered. She turned to Miranda and Gordo. "Are you guys gonna go?"

"Oh, let's go together Gordo!" Miranda said. "As friends of course."

"I guess so," Gordo answered.

They all said their goodbyes and got into their cars to drive home.
