After The Kissing Booth

Will You Go With Me?

It's a week till prom, which means there's a lot of promposals going on. Everyone loves this week, but me. I mean, yeah, I would love to enjoy this week, but when your boyfriend is in Boston and isn't able to come down for another two weeks since he has last week of school exams, you don't enjoy it.

"Okay, so I'm thinking about maybe doing something big to ask Rachel to prom. What do you think?" Lee asks me.
"I don't know." I shrug and get back to my phone.
"Elle you're a girl, I need your help. If Noa-" Lee stops himself.
"If you were a girl who was going to get asked to prom, what would you like?" Lee continues.
"I don't really know Lee. I've never been asked and I never really thought about being asked. Since the two proms we've gotten, me and Noah are never able to go together." I say sighing.

Just saying his name makes me tear up. I can't wait until the summer. When we'll be able to spend all day, every day together.

"What if I like pulled the fire alarm, t-"
"You would probably get suspended for that." I stop Lee from thinking of that idea.

For the next hour or so Lee asks me about ideas, but all of them are horrible. They either involve getting suspended, or getting detention, or just bad in general. 

...

I wake up in the morning and drag myself to get ready. It's the last day before the weekend so a lot of promposals will be happening today, more then usual.

I go downstairs to get something for breakfast. I pour cereal into a bowl followed by milk.

"Good morning." Lee chorus.
"Good morning." I say in a drowsy tone.
"Today's the day I'm asking Rachel to prom!" Lee says trying to cheer me up.

But it doesn't work.

"Cool." I say pretending to be happy.
"It's okay, okay." Lee says pulling me into a hug.

Lee doesn't drive Rachel to school today, because he wants to surprise her. I walk into school and by my surprise, someone is already asking someone else to prom. I walk to my locker and Lisa comes rushing up to me.

"Tupan asked me to prom!" She says smiling.
"Congrats Lisa." I fake smile.
"I'm sorry Noah can't be here for prom, but you're still coming right?" Lisa says noticing my smile isn't real.
"I really don't know. I don't want to third wheel with anyone." I say looking at Lisa.
"Third wheel with me and Tupan, I really want you there, I want to get you ready!" Lisa says like a little kid.
"I'll think about." I say trying my best to make her happy.
"That's better then a no." Lisa shrugs and smiles.

At the end of first period, I've seen four promposals that went well, and two that didn't. Out of those four Lee and Rachel were one of them, and Rachel said yes, of course.

I'm standing at my locker with Lee when Ethan starts walking up to us.

"What's happening?" Lee whispers to me.
"I don't know. But I swear to God if he asks me to prom you have permission to fight him, and if you don't want to I will myself." I whisper back to Lee.
"Wow." Lee whispers but giggles at the same time.
"Hey Elle, Lee." Ethan says once he gets up to me.
"Hey." I say under my breath.

Lisa and Rachel come to save both me and Lee from this awkward situation. "Heyyyy." They both say coming up to us.
"Hey." Ethan says awkwardly.
"So who are you going to prom with Ethan?" Lisa asks him directly.
"Uh, I don't know if I'm going." Ethan shrugs.
"Oh, that's sad poor you. I bet you any girl who isn't taken would go with you." Lisa says winking at me.

A smile comes across my face when I hear her say 'isn't taken'.

"Yeah, I guess." Ethan shrugs before walking away.
"Thank youuu!" I thank Lisa, and Rachel, kinda.
"I could tell you guys needed saving, mostly you though Elle." Lisa laughs.
"I had already given Lee permission to beat him up if he asked me to prom, or I said I'd do it myself." I giggle.

The second period bell rings and we all split up to go to our classes. Me and Lisa are in this class together so we walk together as Lisa talks to me about prom. I'm actually feeling good right now, I'm not missing Noah as much as I have this past week, I guess all the promposals are making me happier, somehow.

In the middle of class someone knocks on the door and everyone's heads go up. It's obvious that it's once again another promposal, let's see how good this one is. I watch four boys from the football team come in and they all go in front of the class with pieces of paper. They flip them around and my heart skips a beat when I realize my name is spelled out by those papers. Lisa looks at me and I look at her with shock. If this is Ethan I will literally beat him up in front of everyone. But then someone walks through the door, not Ethan, Noah.

"Prom?" Noah asks me with his arms out.
"Yes!" I say jumping out of my seat and into his arms.

The whole class claps, except for Ethan, who just sits there with his head in his hands.

"I need to get a picture!" Lisa says grabbing her phone.

Me and Noah take a couple pictures before my teacher stops us.

"Noah Flynn, back from Harvard so soon?" My teacher asks Noah.
"I did my exams early so I could be with Elle longer and so I could be here for prom and our one year." Noah says putting his arm around me and pulling me closer to him.

All the girls in the class 'aww' when Noah says that.

"Well ure welcome to stay in the class if you would like." My teacher says.
"We're just watching a movie today." My teacher says as everybody gets excited.
"Well I guess I will." Noah says smiling.

I sit down at my desk and the teacher brings a chair over for Noah to sit beside me.

"I knew about this!" Lisa laughs as I sit down.
"You did?" I say surprised.
"That's why I was convincing you to come to prom. But you need to a dress, so we gotta go this weekend." She says in a stressed tone.

I just laugh and grab Noah's hand.

"I love you." He whispers to me.
"I love you more." I whisper back.
"No, I love you more." Noah fights.
"Not possible." I fight back.

I giggle and Noah joins in. I love him, no one else but Noah Flynn.
