Noah and Elle One Shots (The Kissing Booth)

5. off limits

Elle's p.o.v
First day of senior year is here.
I woke up to a sweet message from Noah wishing me luck, and telling me that my ninth grade skirt is off limits.

Right now I'm at my locker with Lee when Tuppen comes up to us.
"Looking good Evans."
I turn around and give him the 'really, do you want my boyfriend to find out you said that' look.
"Shit sorry. Didn't mean to sound flirty there. Taking it your still with Flynn?" He questions.
"Yeah."
"I got to go to class. Catch up at break?" Lee says, starting to walk away.
"Sure thing." I respond.
"I have history first, you?" Tuppen asks.
"History as well."
"Look Elle. Can we like be friends. I know things between us got awkward, and I respect your relationship with Noah." He says slowly.
"Yeah. Walk me to class?" I ask.
Tuppen smiles at me as we begin walking.

I know what you're thinking, Noah isn't going to be pleased with this decision. But Lee is usually busy with Rachel a lot during school time, so I could use an extra friend.

As we're walking conversation moves to the new guy in our year.
"So did you hear about the new guy?"
"No, what new guy?" I question.
"He transferred for senior year. He's one of the best soccer players in the league, all the colleges are offering him scholarships." Tuppen informs me.
"Oh, what's his name?"
"Austin. He was at football camp this summer to integrate with the team."

Noah must know him then. Every Saturday this summer Noah helped out at the football summer camp, as he's the best player the coach has ever had.
"So Noah knows him then?"
"Yeah. Here we are history." Tuppen says.

We take a seat next to each other just as the new guy, Austin, walks in.
He looks like a player as he has this stupid smirk that says 'I'm better than all of you'. But not the same stupid smirk Noah has, that's his sexy smirk. Which I suppose was once his player smirk, but Austin just gives off bad vibes.

"What's this fine lady doing hanging round you?" Austin asks Tuppen, as he approaches us.
I immediately raise my eyebrow at his comment.
"Dude you might not want to hit on her."
"Why not. She's hot." Austin smugly replies.
"She's Flynn's girlfriend." Tuppen warns.
Being Noah's girlfriend has definitely helped to keep guys from flirting with me. Guess they don't want to get beat up or something.

"Oh, well I should probably back off then."
"You probably should." I retort.
"Shame though. I like a challenge." Austin responds, smirking at me as he takes a seat behind.
Great so now I have some 'bad boy' after me. Just great. If I were him I would take Tuppen's advice, I'm Flynn's girlfriend after all.

Later that evening I get a call from Noah. He asks me about my first day of senior year. I explain how Tuppen and I are friends, he wasn't too happy but knows he's not a threat anymore. I contemplate telling Noah about Austin, and in the end I bring him into conversation.
"So a new guy started today."
"What's his name?" Noah asks.
"Austin, he was at football camp."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about him. He was extremely cocky, didn't like the guy." He says.
"Yeah I get what you mean. We have some classes together."
"Has he been bothering you?"

I'm going to tell him. I mean it's better than lying. I hope he doesn't get mad.
"Actually, he kind of hit on me today. When Tuppen told him to back off because I was your girlfriend, he just said he liked a challenge." I say the last bit quietly.

You can now feel the tension. Eventually Noah responds.
"If he keeps bothering you, tell me. I'll have to sort him out when I come back for thanksgiving."
"No you won't 'sort him out'. You can just make it clear that I'm with you, by like staring intently at him or something else." I quickly reply. Thinking of anything that will prevent Noah from beating Austin up when he comes home.
"Something else. I think I have something else in mind."
"Noah." I warn him.
"I have to help dad with dinner now, so I'll call you before I go to bed." I continue.
"Okay gorgeous. I'll call you later."
"Bye Noah."

Just before I hang up, he adds in.
"Oh, and I think I'm going to have to get a clear message across to Austin that you're off limits."

I took inspiration from cwolfie96 fanfic based on 'The Kissing Booth'. The idea for this one shot came specifically from one of her chapters. You should definitely check out the fanfic she's writing that gave me the inspiration for this.
