"You're what?!" Miranda screeched as we sat in my bedroom on Friday night. I covered my ears jokingly, the same time that Gordo did. I laughed and uncovered them.
"Yep, I'm going out with Ethan." I said, nodding my head.
"This is sooo cool! Not only are you popular, but you have the perfect boyfriend!" she said, jumping on my bed.
"The perfect boyfriend?" Gordo asked, incredulously, raising an eyebrow at her. I shrugged and adopted a dreamy expression.
"He's so cute." I said wistfully. I really should be an actor. I am too good. I looked up to see Miranda with the same look upon her own face. Who she was thinking about?
"Who're the googly eyes for Miranda?" I asked playfully.
"Huh?" she said, snapping out of her revere rather quickly. "Oh. No one." She said grinning. I looked at Gordo who shrugged, clearly knowing even less than I did.
"Lets go get some popcorn and kip in the lounge." I said, remembering the videos that we had picked out earlier.
"Yeah popcorn!" Miranda and Gordo chorused together. I laughed as they ran down the stairs. I hate lying to my best friends, but if they knew the truth about Ethan and me then it wouldn't work.

"Chick flicks." Gordo said shaking his head sadly at the collection of videos on the floor between us.
"You bet ya." Miranda said, taking a hand full of popcorn. "You're turn to pick Lizzie." She said before stuffing it into her mouth.
I knelt down on the floor and picked up Pearl Harbor.
"How bout this? It isn't chick flicky." I said brandishing the film.
"Sure, why not, better than Looking For Alibrandi at any rate." He said, sliding it into the machine.
We all settled back on the couch, Miranda with her legs crossed in front of her and Gordo and I sitting next to one another. We'd already watched three movies so I was fairly tired by the time we had started this one. I yawned and settled down further into the couch. I wasn't comfortable so I kept wriggling around until Gordo put his arm around my shoulders and leant my head against his shoulder. I was surprised that he had done that. We never sat together like this. I didn't dwell on it for long because I soon realised how comfortable I was. It felt like I had been doing this all my life. It just felt.right.

"Lizzie.wake up."
"Hmmm?" I mumbled as I shifted slightly.
"It's time to get up Lizzie." The same voice whispered, breath tickling my cheek. I smiled slightly, enjoying the feel against my cheek. I opened my eyes and looked at the person belonging to the voice.
"Gordo?" what was I doing lying on top of Gordo?!
"Hey," he said softly. "You fell asleep last night and I didn't have the heart to wake you." He said, brushing my hair away from my cheek. I blushed and lifted myself off of him. How embarrassing!
"Has my Mum been in yet?" I asked, biting my lip. If my Dad had seen us like that he would have gone nuts.
"No, but I heard noise up there a few minutes ago so I thought I better wake you up. We'd have a lot of explaining to do if they found us like this." He said smiling softly.
"You already have a lot of explaining to do." Said a voice from behind us. I looked up quickly to see Miranda standing there with her arms crossed. I frowned at her and Gordo just looked at her.
"You're not a single woman anymore Lizzie! Just think if Ethan had called over to see you or something and seen you in you're best friends arms! I don't think it would have gone down too well." She said slightly annoyed.
"Oh come on Miranda, I was tired, I fell asleep, no big deal, it's not like we were doing anything wrong." I said, I hardly thought that Ethan would be too worried if he saw me in Gordo's arms. He liked someone else, someone else who he wouldn't tell me about. I stood up and headed towards the kitchen.
"Pancakes?" I called back into the living room to my friends. They soon followed me into the room and sat down at the table as I prepared breakfast.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked as I poured Maple Syrup over my stack of pancakes.
"Beach?" Gordo said looking at the both of us.
"Great idea!" Miranda said clapping her hands together. "I've got this great new bikini that I've been wanting to try out." I smiled, thinking about what a great day it would be, fun in the sun!

"Miranda! Wait up!" I called laughing to Miranda who had slipped off her summer dress and ran into the surf faster than Gordo and I had got out of his car.
"I am so glad you can drive! It would have taken us forever to get here by foot." I said appreciatively.
"Yeah so am I. Not so glad that I have to taxi you two everywhere but it's not too bad.considering we pretty much do everything together anyway." He said frowning thoughtfully.
I laughed then grabbed him by the hand and dragged him down to the surf in search of Miranda, who had already found a guy to fawn over. I laughed again and pulled Gordo in the opposite direction to sit on the wharf.
The best part about having such great friends like Miranda and Gordo, is that you can sit in silence and it isn't uncomfortable.
"Hey Lizzie, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Are-" Gordo was cut off by a squeal from me. I had just been grabbed around the middle and shoved off the wharf into the water. It shocked me at first because it was cold. I came up again, pushing the hair out or my eyes to find myself looking up at two cute guys sitting on the wharf. Ethan and Gordo. Whoops. I mean one cute guy, Ethan. I don't think Gordo's cute. He's just Gordo! Right. Just one cute guy.
"Hey! What was that for!" I spluttered.
"Makes a cute mermaid doesn't she Gordon?" Ethan asked Gordo, nudging him gently in the ribs.
"Yeah Ethan, she sure does."
"Hey, you weren't trying to steal my girl were you?" Ethan asked, winking at me. I frowned. What was he trying to say? I climbed back onto the wharf and hugged both Ethan and Gordo, getting them wet. Hey someone had to pay the price for getting me wet. May as well have been them. Then I sat down in between them.
"What brings you down here Ethan?" I asked softly, like a girlfriend would.
"Volleyball. You guys wanna play?" he asked looking at the both of us.
"Sure, why not?" Gordo said shrugging. I was surprised; normally he wouldn't want to play sport with someone like Ethan.
"What about you Lizzie?" Gordo asked.
"Uh no, me and Volleyball do not go well together. One you have to be co- ordinated, which I am not, and two, I don't like sand. But I'll be happy to watch." I said trying to cover up my lame excuses.
"The more the merrier!" Ethan said before picking me up and swinging me over his shoulder and carrying me down the beach, despite my protests.
A/N: Dum dum dum.What? I had the urge.
