The Kissing Booth - The First Year

Summer is Over - Elle

I got it !!!

It was the first thing I thought of when I finally got home, I managed to get off the bike, get out of the airport, take a giant turn without doing any bullshit, and the main one, I did not have an accident. But for all my excitement, I felt a tightness in my chest because I knew I would not see Noah for a few months now ... It opened up a gigantic array of opportunities, I would have all the time to prove this new freedom, not forgetting, of course, that I wanted our long distance relationship to last, I do not know exactly how, but I would try, and I hoped he was feeling that way too. "Even with all the new horizons he will find at Harvard," my inner voice shouted.

I went upstairs and opened the door to my room, and there was the leather jacket of the prettiest guy, the one I'd always been in love with all my life, even when I was sure it was not ... He managed to do everything right, working in every little detail to keep me thinking about him, even when I should not.

First I stood in the doorway, just staring at her in my bed, remembering our first kiss and how much things had changed in my life after that day "Ah Kissing Booth"...

I got close to my bed, took the jacket and I did not even need to put her close to my face, the scent of his perfume was so intense and made me, for a moment, go dizzy ... it was as if holding him in my arms again, I really felt him close, and suddenly I fell of the cloud with my phone ringing

"Hey, where are you?" Lee said laughing from the other side.

I gagged "In my house, silly... where else would I be?", Funny was that in saying this, something strange sounded, a stupidly loud voice in my head saying *incorrect answer* and I felt I really should not be home ... Lee started to laugh even more.

"I knew, I told my mother and Rachel that you would forget where you had to go after leaving the airport ... Taco night at my house. Even your father is coming and you're still there ... maybe holding on to Noah's jacket *he gasped*, huh, so ... yes, it was me" and he laughed even more. So my best friend was responsible for leaving the jacket in my bedroom ... I should have known, and at that moment my heart was filled with love: the whole time I thought Lee was still upset was just my guilty head because of all the time I lied to him and hid about me and Noah.

But I could not let him realize that I really had forgotten "Ahhhh so you think I forgot? Of course not dear ... I came to change my clothes, I'll be there in 20 minutes. " He muttered an *okay* and hung up.

I looked at the jacket a bit more, and suddenly I realized that something was falling out of its pocket: a white paper and the letter of Noah "Shelly". My eyes got on fire over some tears that wanted to fall down, but also happy again thinking how much he had imagined leaving every small detail *okay, I know I would not see the note if I had not dropped the jacket on the floor when my phone rang*, so there it was, all the romanticism I asked him not to wear when I was at the bottom of the escalators watching him climb *Never, never forget how important you are to me. We'll be fine ... and with no one in particular in my room right now, writing this piece of paper for you, I say I LOVE YOU. Yours Noah* Some tears fell, my heart pounding in my throat and my hands still shaking a bit, like when we first kissed, but now, knowing that yes, we would be fine!

I put the jacket back on my bed, maybe his perfume was there when I went back to sleep ... I changed my clothes and went to Lee, this time with my car because it was starting to get cool.

At that moment I realized that the summer days were really coming to an end, and besides, my boyfriend would not be back until Christmas.
