After The Kissing Booth

New York

"Wait but do you think I'll need my jacket?" I ask Lee as I pack by bags for New York.
"Pack it, it might be cold!" Lee says.
"But I don't want to pack it if I won't need it. If I need one that bad I'll just buy one." I say putting it back.
"Elle you're trying to save right now." Lee says with his head tilted.
"I won't need it!" I giggle.

Lee just rolls his eyes, in a funny way, and laughs.

After I get everything packed up it's time to get other things packed. Other known as my carry on for a five hour flight.

Around twelve am I decide to finally go to bed as I need to be up for five. I don't fall asleep until one because I'm thinking of how excited I am for New York. Even thought I wasn't to excited for it at the beginning, now I am.

I wake up at five to my alarm. Four hours of sleep definitely wasn't enough, especially for me. I get ready and chose just black leggings and a hoodie, of Noah's of course.

"You ready yet?" Lee says knocking on the door.
"Yep." I say opening it.
"Wait do we need to drive tot her school first or to the airport?" I ask Lee as I gather my stuff
"School, we're all going in a bus to the airport." Lee says falling onto my bed.
"Wait what seat are you in?" I ask Lee.
"B3." Lee says looking up.
"Ugh. I'm in B1." I frown.
"Who's in between us? Because the seats are by two right?" I ask Lee.
"Yeah, and I don't know. Rachel is B4, I guess we'll just find out." Lee shrugs.
"I guess we will." I say smiling.

I grab my bags and Lee goes back to his room to grab his. I go downstairs struggling with everything.

"Are we going for a week or two months?" Lee says laughing.
"Hey, I need a lot of stuff to live okay." I say scrunching my nose.

Lee just shakes his head and laughs.

We take Lee's car to the school and pick Rachel up on the way, of course.

When all board the bus and I'm behind Rachel and she sits right in the front so I make my way to the back of the bus. Lee doesn't sit with Rachel back comes to the back and sits beside me.

"What about Rachel?" I whisper.
"She can sit with her bestie while I sit with mine." Lee smile.
"Thank you, but she's giving me a death glare right now." I say looking at her.
"Ignore it."

When we get to the airport we're all getting off the bus and Rachel rushes over to Lee and pulls him aside. I just ignore and follow everyone else in the airport. Lee catches up with me with Rachel on his arm.

"She whined then I kissed her, all good," Lee whispers into my ear.

I just look back and shake my head with a smile on my face. We have to wait for an extra hour because our flight is delayed but when we're finally boarding I'm sitting in my seat waiting for someone to come sit beside me, thinking it's someone just in a class of mine, when Ethan comes, and sits right beside me.

I ignore him and just stare out my window. Why couldn't I at least be on the inside and not feel like he's going to kidnap me.

"Oh hey." Ethan says awkwardly.

I just ignore him more and keep my head looking out the window.

"Elle, if we're going to be on this flight for five hours then you're going to need to talk to me." Ethan says putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Get your hand off my shoulder." I say not joking.
"So you're still with him." Ethan says keeping his hand on me.
"Yes, yes I am." I say shrugging to get his hand off of me.
"Even after he kisses another girl." Ethan says shaking his head.
"What?" I say snapping over to look at him.
'Oh, he didn't tell you he kissed a girl, I caught him doing it right then and there." Ethan says tilting his head.
"How would you be in Boston watching him kiss another girl." I say with a straight face.
"It wasn't in Boston silly, it was when he came down for what was it, Valentine's Day?" Ethan says sarcastically.
"Ethan, the whole time Noah was here, I was with him."
"Or so he says." Ethan winks.
