The Kissing Booth Why Now?

He started changing colors and stuttered "no way."  I shook my head and looked at the principal and smirked: "since you didn't give me a chance to tell you the truth and didn't investigate quietly I am calling the head backer."  I cackled and picked up my phone "hey, Mr. Flynn."  I knew calling him Mr. Flynn instead of Mathew he knew it would be about business.  "Yes, Miss. Evans."  "The new assistant coach for the girl's soccer team accused coach Lawson of an inappropriate relationship with me.  So, the principal suspended him until further notice pending an investigation.  Since that is not true and I do not want to deal with the assistant coach who is now the temporary head coach I will not be playing until Coach Lawson returns as well as my whole team except two from the second string."  "OK, are you telling me this because he will have to forfeit or pull together a team of players that are below our standards."  "Yes, Mr. Flynn."  "Not a problem.  I will send out a group text to the rest of the backers."  At this point, Carl chimes in "count the boy's soccer team as well.  We will not play until Coach Lawson returns."  

The principal sputtered "but, I could lose my job."  I glared at her "you should have thought of that before accusing Coach Lawson of something so despicable and disgusting.   Coach Lawson is like a second father to me."   Mr. Blaine looks at me "yet he watches you like a hawk."  I glare at him "if either of you had bothered to ask him or me we could have told you that it is because I remind him of his daughter.  She was kidnapped ten years ago and he misses her terribly.  My personality reminds him of her and he decided to protect me like he would his daughter.  Hell, he protects all the girls on his team as if we were his daughters.  Plus if there was something going on don't you think Coach Mcallister would have caught on.  Hello, she was his assistant for the last five years."  I said goodbye to Mathew and instantly called June at work.  "Hello, I need to speak with Mrs. Flynn...Rochelle Evans."  I waited until June answered and it took her longer than normal.  I looked at Lee "she is probably talking to my dad."  "Duh, should have known Mathew would call her immediately since the office is also a backer."  He smirked "yep."

Lee started laughing and I looked at him" "what?"  "Well, who else is a backer?"  I looked at him and my eyes opened wide "uh oh."  "Yep."  The principal glances between us "who?"  I gulp "my dad."  "Sorry, sweety I was talking to Mathew."  I started giggling "that is what Lee said."  "Well, my son is smart.  I take it you are calling me so I can defend Coach Lawson."  "Yep."  "Done.  Also, I will not be handing this off to one of my staff I am taking that jerk down."   "Thank you so much, June."   "Not a problem Elle sweetie.  I will call Coach Lawson and let him know I am representing him."  "Ok, bye June."  I watched as Coach Blaine looked at me smugly  "wait till you find out who I am going to get to challenge coach Lawson."  I stand there as he picks up his phone and watch him open his text message and press on the link there.  Lee snorts and looks at me and I almost fall down laughing since he saw the number Coach Blane was calling.  We all stand back and listen to him talk to the individual that answers the phone.   "Hello, I would like to speak to Manuel?... Tell him it is Justin."  We all waited for the person he wanted to answer the phone.  I saw Lee chuckling "Isn't the new guy named Manuel?"  I turn to Lee and start chuckling "Oh, yeah."  

Lee and I started laughing our asses off when the principal looks at us and glares.  "You realize he works for Flynn Evans and Associates?"   Lee and I both nod "yep."  He smirks "so, are you changing your mind?"  I laugh harder "have you checked who the lead backers for soccer and football are?"  He shakes his head and picks up his tablet clicking on a few things before his head shoots up.  "Flynn Evans and Associates, Evans construction, and Flynn Technologies."  I smirk "yep have you caught on yet."  He looks at us and his eyes widen "you two are that Evans and Flynn."  We both nod and laugh even harder with Lee gasping "so, you see there is no way Flynn Evans and Associates are going to helping you two when my mom has taken on Coach Lawson's case."  Coach Blaine looks at us and glares "we will see...hey buddy I need you to help me with...what do you mean if it has anything to do with Coach Lawson you can't help me."  He glares at Lee and me.  "How did he get your boss to represent him?"  He looks at me and I smirk and bow.  He hangs up the phone and stomps off.  The principal gulps "so I take it what Mr. Blaine claimed is wrong."  "Yes, if you don't believe us call Coach Mcalister or better yet hang on."
