Teen (Beach) Love Story

Chapter 19: Back to Square One?

NORMAL POV

"Let's put a little competition into this, shall we?" Jordan says to his fellow cast of Teen Beach as they hang out in the hotel's bowling alley. They only discovered it a couple days ago and ever since then that's where they spend most of their free time.

"You're on. First one to get 4 consecutive strikes wins." John says as Jordan nods.

"Deal!" Jordan says as the two boys are the first ones to grab a bowling ball and play against each other.

"Frankie, you're here." Liz says as she sees her brother come through the door and walks up to him.

"Yeah. Sorry I'm late I had to do something." He says as Liz looks at him confused.

"You did? You know I haven't seen you much since yesterday that mom called you." Liz says to him as he nods and sighs.

"I'm helping her with something but enough about me. I saw you talking to Ross in the morning and some laughing was involved." He says making Liz smile.

"Well I'm happy to tell you that he and I are back to being good friends but it's only been a day so maybe I shouldn't get to ahead of myself." Liz says as Frankie shakes his head.

"I don't think you and Ross will ever go back to that. Unless a tabloid decides to interfere again but that's maybe unlikely." Frankie says as Liz nods.

"So what have you been helping mom with?" Liz asks and Frankie laughs nervously.

"Let's get bowling!" He says as he goes and joins the others.

"Liz!" She hears some girls say as she turns and sees Grace motioning her over to the little group they were in.

"We figured we start our own little powwow seeing how the boys are getting a little heated in their game." Chrissie says as Liz shakes her head.

"I grew up surrounded by boys so I'm use to it." Liz says as they laugh.

"Hey Rydel said the same thing." Mollee says as she looks over at Ross' older sister.

"Oh hi. I actually don't think we've ever met. I'm Liz." Liz says to her as she nods.

"Yeah we actually haven't but that's understandable seeing how busy everyone always is. I'm Rydel." She responds with a smile.

"You know now that I think of it maybe we should join the boys. Do a little girls versus boys and give them a little piece of our mind." Chrissie says as the girls all exchange looks.

"Well when you put it like that, I'm all for it. Let's go!" Grace says as she leads the girls to the bowling lane next to where the guys were.

"So have you ever had to deal with your brothers dating your female friends?" Rydel asks Liz as they walk together.

"Of course. I've even had to think twice of bringing my friends over to my house." Liz says making Rydel laugh.

"Same situation here and when your brothers get a girlfriend don't they always have to go through the sister test." Rydel says as Liz nods.

"The sister stamp of approval. Some haven't been so fortunate to recieve that stamp." Liz says as Rydel nods.

"Guilty of that. At the moment my brother has his heart set on someone and it's safe to say she definitely has my stamp of approval." Rydel says as Liz stops to look at her. Was it rude to ask which brother? She had just met her.
