The Kissing Booth Why Now?

111. FUN

PETER'S POV

Damn that girl Elle is funny.  After hearing about how she loves to prank everyone especially her best friend and fiancee I just had to check out her handy work.  While skimming her social media I couldn't help but laugh at how many times she had dyed Lee different colors.  The one thing I learned is that she rarely just pranks to prank.  It is normally because someone makes her mad or pranks her first.   Another thing I learned is that when someone pranks her it is for the last time because she is just too good.  I could see why by all the posts of her pranks.  I could tell that she learns what is important to a person and makes sure she hits them right where it will hurt the most without causing permanent damage.  I do have to admit I am not happy about going out with everyone tomorrow simply because watching all of them with their girlfriends is heartbreaking.  

Let me tell you why?  See a while ago my girlfriend told me that her dad got offered a job and they were moving.  I hated to see her go after everything we had been through and knowing that once I went back to school without her my ex will start messing with me again to take her back.  She can't get it through her head I am in love with my girl.  Honestly, before she broke up with me I was starting to get sick of her crap.  I hated how she treated people and how she would deliberately go out of her way to make my girl feel bad.  My girl as far as I was concerned had the best style in school.  I liked the fact that she didn't follow along with everyone else in school.  I also liked that she didn't go too far into the dark side as her best friend (my ex's cousin) would.  

It wasn't long after they were gone before my mom told me we were moving as well.  She explained how my grandfather who lived in L.A. had passed away and left her his store.  Seeing as his store was bigger and more successful than my mom's she decided to move us there so she will be better able to support us.  I was not happy since I was counting on a scholarship for lacrosse.  She just smirked and told me not to worry since she worked it out with my dad to help outfit the school I will be attending with the equipment they will need.  She also stated that the school I would be attending had a high placement in ivy league schools and scholarships.  I could not understand how she was able to get my dad to participate until she explained that she told him either he did this or she would take him to court for his child support.  Granted she also explained he still had to pay or else.  

Yep, after my dad remarried he decided he was going to cut off me and my younger brother for his wife and her children.  Boy was she pissed.  She called my mom all sorts of ugly names and then proceeded to yell at me that I was selfish.  Turns out the money he used was for their second honeymoon.  He was going to take her on a trip across Europe.  The best part was she yelled this at me in public and when I turned around and told her really considering he hasn't paid his child support for years you call me selfish.  It was then I learned the real reason my father wasn't around and why he didn't pay his child support and it was her.  She actually admitted well duh I told him not to.  That now that we were married my kids were his, not you bastards.  I shook my head and told her well at least my dad was married to my mom.  Oh, and my brother and I share the same father.  Yep, I had found out that her two kids belonged to two different men.  Now I am not proud of what I did especially when I threw in her face after she called my mom a bitch yet again that at least she didn't sleep with a married man.

What I didn't know was that one she had her kid live streaming our encounter and she had her daughter post under the video how my mom and I stole her vacation.  Once I thew all that in her face she turned white and yelled at her kids to stop recording.  Didn't help matters any since other people had started recording while she was yelling at me.   I shook my head and walked off.  It was later that day I found out why she was so upset by my mom breaking the news.  I was able to text my girl I had moved and where and it wasn't long before she did the same.  I know she is around here somewhere but I have been busy with the move and teaching my teammates how to play my game.   The good thing is they picked it up fast and I think they are going to be better than my old team.  I would text my girl about meeting up at the arcade but I don't know exactly where we are going.  Carl told me he was going to pick me up along with my brother.  Turns out there are going to be two other kids about his age.
