After The Kissing Booth

Chapter 2

There he was, Noah Flynn standing right before my eyes. I knew that I would have to see him at some point, I'm just not ready to see him. Noah hurt me, he broke up with me over the phone and never gave me a reason why. I tried and tried to find out what I did wrong but he would never reply or call me back so I gave up asking after a couple of weeks. But here he is now, looking better than ever. He doesn't have long hair anymore, it's cut and it really makes him look more mature and there just something different about him that I can't pinpoint.
I really don't know what to say to him, I just stand at the doorway staring at him, I think I'm in shock because I can't bring myself to speak so thankfully he speaks "how are you Elle" he says looking at me up and down and I can't help but wonder how he thinks I look. I stare at him a couple more seconds and finally reply "um I'm great Noah, how are you" I ask and he replies with "I'm okay, I graduated so I'm moving back... look Elle I would really like to talk, there are somethings I need to tell you" he says and this time I'm pissed " I really don't know what you want to talk about Noah, I'm not in the mood for your bullshit right now" I say and immediately regret it when I see the look on his face. I can tell that I hurt him, but then I realize how much pain he put me through, after the breakup I didn't leave my house and went into a deep depression and I wouldn't of gotten through it without Lee. "Elle I'm sorry, okay I just want a chance to explain" he says and I hear a loud voice coming up from behind me "Elle c'mon babe we have to go or you will be late" Dylan says as he walks up next to me and as I couldn't think the situation could get more awkward, it does when Dylan starts talking to Noah. "Hi I don't think we were properly introduced, I'm Dylan, Elle's boyfriend" he says and I can see a look of sadness cross Noah's face, a look I have seen too many times. Noah starts to talk when Lee comes in and cuts him off "Elle what are you doing here, I told you to wait outside for me" Lee says and I realize why he wanted me to stay in the car, because he didn't want me to see Noah. I look at the time and freak out "Guys we have to go or I'm going to be late" I say and everyone heads to the door in a rush and as soon as I turn around and start to walk away I feel a hand on my arm "Elle I meant what I said, I really need to talk with you" Noah says and I reply "Noah I can't right now, I have to leave" he speaks again "Next time then, but this is important" he says and I nod my head and start to walk away again when I hear "oh and by the way Elle, you look beautiful" I continued walking away, but I couldn't stop myself from blushing. How does Noah Flynn still have that effect on me and what the hell does he want to talk about that so important. I get into the car and he's all I can think about the entire ride.
