The Kissing Booth Page #5

---

So many stars

There...

Everyone... everyone just saw that,

didn't they?

Yup. Pretty much.

Oh, my God! Kill me now!

Come on. Relax, Shelly.

It was just a kiss.

Was it, Noah? Was it just a kiss?

Yeah. Of course.

All right.

So I'll... I'll see you around.

Noah! Noah! Noah!

Keep up the good work, huh?

"Good word?" What the...?

Oh.

"Good work."

And then it hit me.

Holy crap! What am I going to tell Lee?

That was really close.

Hey.

Oh, hey. I'll be right back, okay?

Oh! That was really close!

Hey.

Hey. Is everything okay?

Yeah, the booth is crushing it!

We have made more

than all the other booths combined.

No way!

It turns out people

really like to kiss!

What?

And get this... I even wound

up kissing your brother!

What?

Come on, Lee. It's no big deal. Seriously.

What?

It's for charity, right?

Yeah...

I guess so.

Just don't end up grinding coochies

with my brother,

or I'll literally never talk to you again.

That and Rule Number Nine, of course.

Of course! Right.

Come on, Lee. Seriously. As if.

As I ran home,

I wondered if our kiss

meant anything to Noah.

If I meant anything.

How about a ride?

Come on, Shelly.

You know my mom will kill me

if I leave you out here.

Holding on to Noah,

I couldn't stop thinking

about the promise I had made to Lee.

It's getting too dangerous.

I'm pulling over.

But who knows if Noah

even wanted to kiss me again.

That didn't really matter though.

Because I still wanted to kiss him.

You know, if we wait out this rain,

we should be fine.

Wait, no.

I cannot just be

another one of your conquests.

Is that what you think of me?

It's what everyone thinks of you.

You want to know the truth?

You are the only girl

who doesn't fall at my feet.

And it is driving me crazy.

It's one of the things I like about you.

You're sweet.

But you're not afraid

to call me out on things.

And here I was thinking I was just

your brother's annoying best friend.

Well, yeah. There's that too.

Look, I don't know

what all this means.

I just like hanging out with you.

It feels right.

I'm just...

I'm so confused right now.

Did that clear anything up?

No, I think we'd better try again.

Security.

Oh, my God! We're gonna die!

Is that you, Flynn?

I thought I told you not to bring girls

around here anymore.

What?

You just took me to your hookup spot?

No! You know what? Unbelievable!

Thanks, Andrew.

Still mad at you, but I am cold as sh*t!

And you are taking me home.

Now!

Thanks for the ride.

You know, I meant when I said, Elle.

Good for you.

So I'll see you tomorrow?

Hey.

Hey.

Why didn't Lee give you

a ride home tonight?

Um...

He just got busy.

But that is the only reason

you're on the back

of Noah Flynn's motorcycle, right?

Of course. Duh. Come on.

In spite of what happened tonight,

I couldn't stop thinking

about what Noah said to me.

And even though I know I shouldn't,

how much I wanted to believe him.

Rule Number Six.

If you can't tell your best friend

about something you're doing,

you probably shouldn't be doing it.

All right

I'm gonna carry it out

I'm gonna be

I wanna save the day

I say oh my mama

m'oh my ma...

Five, four, three, two, one.

Go!

Yeah!

Go, Elle!

Yeah!

Go, Elle!

Chug! Chug! Chug!

I keep it up till it's down

You better not fade away

I said oh my mama m'oh my ma

you're gonna do it my way

Chug! Chug! Chug!

Looking good, Evans.

Oh, um...

Thanks.

We never did get to finish

your skinny dip at Flynn's party.

Oh, um...

I was just way too drunk that night, so...

You know what you need?

Hmm?

Hot tub. Come on.

Oh, no, that's okay, Warren.

Come on, Evans. It'll be nice.

No, Warren.

Evans, come on! Don't make me beg.

Warren?

I'm not feeling well, Warren.

She said no, Warren!

Okay. That's okay.

Okay. I'm fine.

It's all right. Can we... Can you just

take me home, please?

Okay. Just walk away. Hey, just walk away.

Let's go.

Hey, come on, man. It's all good.

I guess I'd also be pretty pissed

if I was slumming it

with my little brother's sloppy seconds.

Oh, sh*t!

Elle, wait!

Wait!

Elle!

Just get in the car, Elle.

Just get in the car, Elle.

Get in the car, Elle!

Please.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

What do you think? You think I meant

to fall for my brother's best friend?

Wait, this isn't the way home.

I want to show you something.

How many girls have you made out with

in this spot?

I only come here alone.

Until now.

Oh, you are good!

That sounds so great when you say it.

You must know that, right?

Such a player.

You haven't changed.

I mean, what is the difference

between what just happened...

The difference is you.

You're crazy.

I'm crazy about you, Elle.

He is good.

Okay.

Okay.

Here's how this is gonna work.

Rules. Number one...

No more fighting.

Done.

Number two...

No more telling me what to do.

Cross my heart.

And number three...

If we do this, nobody can know.

Okay? At least until...

I figure out a way to tell Lee.

It has to be that way.

You know, you're cute when you're bossy.

I'm serious, Noah.

So am I.

You're really, really cute!

Promise.

Hey.

I promise.

Um...

You know, we don't have to.

You know when the time is right.

And this was our time.

Noah and his stupid, sexy smirk

got the best of me.

And I was happy about it.

But now what am I going to do?

This is all your fault, kissing booth!

Nope. No. Nope. Never work.

What's wrong?

We're supposed to be

in a logistics meeting right now. Okay?

We're trying to figure out

how not to get caught.

I don't see what the big deal is.

It's not like anyone's gonna think

that I have a girlfriend.

Oh, yeah, God forbid anyone

actually thinks you're in a relationship.

Hey! I have my reputation to think of.

Is that so?

Oh, 'tis so!

Really?

Sh*t! Hide!

Just a minute.

I need to get your laundry.

Go, go down there.

Yeah! Just one second, Mom!

Hold on.

Yup, come in

Ew!

Hi, honey.

Hey, Mom.

You know, I could have brought

the laundry down.

It's okay. I have an hour to kill before

your dad and I will meet the Andersons.

Oh, no.

Sh*t!

Oh, and by the way, don't forget.

We're going out on Saturday

to celebrate your big news.

We don't have to, Mom.

Of course, we do.

It's not every day you get accepted

to an Ivy League school.

Oh! And I invited the Evanses.

Do me a favor.

Be sweet to Elle.

She kind of has a crush on you.

Really? I had no idea.

Of course you didn't. Boys never do.

Shut up!

Elle has a crush on you.

She's not even supposed to be here.

I have to be downstairs in ten minutes

and work on the prom banner with Lee.

Um...

So, Ivy League school, huh?

It's not a big deal.

Which school?

Harvard.

Are you shitting me?

That's amazing!

I don't even know

if I'm gonna go or not yet.

Listen, you can't tell anybody

about this, okay?

And that was the

first time it hit me.

Noah would be leaving for college. Soon.

But we need to get you out of here,

and lucky for you,

I've got your escape route
