After The Kissing Booth

Chapter 1

I try not to think of Noah Flynn, well I try but I still on occasion think of him, and our relationship. We broke up two years after he went to college, well he broke up with me, with no explanation. I keep on telling myself that he broke up with me and that I should just let it be and not care anymore but even though I'm in a relationship I still think of what could of been with Noah. Even thought is been two years since the breakup. I still can't get it out of my mind, I wonder if it was something I did or something I said and all of a sudden I hear "Elle snap out of it, I need you to help me figure out what I'm going to wear tonight" Lee holds up a pink shirt with crazy patterns in it and I still can't figure out why he thinks that would look good, I tell him that it's terrible and he moves on to the next crazy shirt. "So are you nervous for tonight" he asks and I reply with a no, which is a total lie and he can probably see straight through me so I don't know why I bother lying. Tonight is my first gallery showing and to be completely honest I'm very scared. I'm hoping that at least one person will buy my photos. Lee finally decides on a decent shirt to wear and we leave the store and I head home to get ready.
I pick out a pale pink frilly dress and rose gold high heels and have my hair straight and slicked back, I'm trying to focus on my appearance over my fear that no one will like my work. I put on minimal but noticeable makeup and spend a long time looking at myself in the mirror as a distraction.
After I get changed I hear Dylan my boyfriend yelling from downstairs, "Elle hurry up we have to get a move on or we will be late" so I try my best so speed up and get down stairs in enough time to pick up Lee and get to the gallery. "Hey I'm sorry, I'm just trying to be perfect for tonight, what do you think" I say and he responds with "Elle you look beautiful, but we gotta go" something about the way he said that made me feel uneasy and insecure, I don't think he meant it but I try not to think too much into it, he's just trying to get me there on time. We rush out the door and get in the car and head straight for the Flynn's house, where Lee is.
We get to Lee's and he is no where to be found so I run inside to see where he is, I walk into the Flynn's house and scream "c'mon loser we're gonna be late" and hear nothing. He's probably just being indecisive on what to wear and I hope he goes with the shirt he got at the store earlier today and not one of his crazy shirts. I yell one more time and out of nowhere I hear a familiar voice saying "hey Shelly" I stop in my tracks and don't know what to say or do.
Oh my god... NOAH
