The Kissing Booth Why Now?

30. JERK *

"He what? I am going to fucking kill him. Does he know you are engaged?" I hear her clear her throat "yes, the second day he was in class everyone told him." "Have you told the rents?" "Not, about today they already know about the smiling and winking and that I didn't think anything of it.  I don't understand why today he did anything blatantly inappropriate. Yet, unfortunately, I have no proof since he whispered it in my ear.  Even though Lee was right next to me he didn't hear a thing." "Well, I am coming home." I know from the silence she is looking at Lee and knowing my little brother he has rolled his eyes at me. "Tell Lee don't roll his eyes at me and I will be heading home soon." "No, you can't come running back every time there is a little hiccup. Plus until we have proof you coming here charging ahead could end with you in jail." "No, I am coming home. Come on Shelly we all have already talked about this. After what the team told me how he was watching you and your coach told the rents." "No, you are not I am calling the rents now." I could not believe she hung up on me. I was furious. I look at my study group since they have all stiffened and I took a deep breath "some asshat has been hitting on my girl and as usual, she is completely oblivious to the fact a guy is hitting on her. It wasn't until he asked her out today that she realized he was hitting on her. Not to mention he is her fucking history teacher. Plus her coach noticed and informed our parents." After explaining in detail what happened on Friday my study group shook their heads.

Justin shook his head "dude that is all kinds of messed up." "Yeah, I need to go so I can book a flight and pack. I have to make sure this jackass knows she is my girl and nothing is going to come between us." Just as I was packing up my books my phone rings. I look down and see it is my dad. I gulp "hey dad." "You young man are not coming home until this weekend." "Dad I need to protect my girl." "No, you don't. We will handle it and Elle is right until she has solid proof there is nothing we can do and I know you son." "What dad?" "You will put him in the hospital if he doesn't back off and that is the last thing we need. Do you really want to lose your scholarship and end up back home while Elle and Lee leave for college?" "No." "Exactly because if that happens we will not let Elle give up Harvard for you just like she didn't let you give up Harvard for her." "Ok, dad but please keep me informed." "Just like when Mary appeared if it gets out of hand we will bring you home." "OK bye."

I pulled out my books and everyone was looking at me "It turns out Elle called my parents and told them what was going on and that she was afraid I would end up in jail so they told me to stay here." Justin laughed "damn your girl is good." "Yep, I guess she is right until we have more poof there is nothing we can do." I smirked, "the best thing is that I should be there early on Friday so I can always surprise her and that jackass at school." Everyone started laughing "you go, dude." We all continued doing our work and it wasn't until much later before the rents called me again and my dad reminded me that Mary had bought Elle a necklace that would record everything around her and a sweatband to record practices. He also reminded me that Patrice was going to be present at practice since she made the team. Not to mention my dad bought my Shelly earrings that will record anything said in her ear or around her. All she had to do was push a wireless panic button that was hidden in a ring she was going to start wearing.

After telling Noah he said exactly what I expected him to say. I looked at Lee and he just rolled his eyes and I had to tell Noah to stay home. We went back and forth until I had enough and called Mathew since I knew that June was in the middle of a case. "Hey, sweetheart what's up?" "Noah called because someone texted me from Noah's phone." "Yeah, I know June called me and told me about it. Thankfully the judge had called a thirty-minute recess because the victim June is defending had a panic attack when she found out her soon to be ex-husband got his teenage mistress pregnant." "What the hell?" "Yeah, well I know that is not why you are calling me." "See...damn this is too damn eerie." "What is baby girl?" "Well, everything with that damn teacher Mathew." "Ok, what happened now?"
