The Kissing Booth Why Now?

52. POOR LEE *

The good thing about my pranks is that Lee is so oblivious that he doesn't even notice when I do things to him.  He especially doesn't catch on that I pay close attention to his actions.  For example, he didn't know that I knew he used charcoal toothpaste.  Yep, you guessed it I changed his toothpaste to one that would turn his teeth black.  So, there was poor Lee Tuesday morning with black teeth and an orange body.  I couldn't help but laugh because soon his hair would be blue as well.  I still can not believe that after all these years he still has not learned not to piss me off.  As usual, it didn't take us that long to arrive at school.  Even though some of the girls were still pissed at me thinking it was all my fault that Mr. Blaine was fired everyone else noticed Lee.  He glared at me "great your debacle only lasted a day and now everyone is noticing me all orange."  Duncan cackled "not to mention the black teeth."  "What do you mean black teeth?"  Lee jumped into his car and angled the rearview mirror so he could see his teeth and glared at me.  "You are not funny twin."  I was able to capture a picture of him in all his glory and posted it online.  Of course, the guys ribbed him and Noah put his two cents in and I couldn't help but laugh as some guys I didn't even know commented as well.  One posted dang Flynn please tell us that she would not do that to you."  I smirked and commented back  Oh, you should scroll through his pictures there are a few where I got him.  

The principal was hilarious when she saw Lee and shook her head "son, how is it that you set yourself up again."  "I accidentally took a mic to where our dads were talking to her and my brother about the fact they were kissing and told them they didn't care if they were getting married or not."  The principal shook her head "son I sure hope you learn one day not to set yourself up."  The rest of the day was going smooth until there was a lockdown.  I looked at Lee and he just shrugged his shoulders as we huddled together waiting for the lockdown to be lifted.  I could hear yelling in the halls and realized that they were looking for me.  I looked at Lee while he pulled me closer making sure I was held close to his chest.  "I won't let them get you Shells."  I nod my head and burrow my face into his chest.  "Elle...where are you?  Come on you know you want me and that you belong to me."  I could not believe that Tom was out in the hall looking for me.  I gulped and looked up at Lee "he knows my schedule."  "I know but I promise I won't let him near you."  

I pull out my phone and call my uncle.  "Tom is here help."  "I am here.  Tom's Uncle called and let me know that some of his old friends showed up and helped them tie up the family and then they took off.  Lucky for them their eldest son came home from school to surprise them or else they would still be tied up.  I have your schedule and am heading to you and Lee now."  "Thank you, Uncle...."  "There you are, Elle.  Now come here before I hurt Lee."  I look up at him and notice he is holding a knife.  I gulp and look up at Lee "don't even think about it Shells.  Noah would kill me if I let him get his hands on you so you can protect me."  Tom kept glaring at us and didn't notice that Carl had come up behind him.  Right, when he reached for me Carl grabbed the bat one of the baseball players handed him and swung.  

Tom's eyes went into the back of his head as he collapsed to the floor.  Lee pulled me away since Tom fell towards us as I screamed and clung to Lee.  It didn't take long before I hear "ok young man put the bat down and step away from the young lady."  I look up just as the teacher stands "wait officer this is Carl he saved us all from that guy on the floor."   Taking a big gulp I look at the officer "this is Carl my fiancee's cousin.  He was protecting me from Tom there on the floor.  He is my cousin by marriage."  The officer looked at me "what do you mean?"  I snuggle closer to Lee "his mother married my father's brother several years ago.  About two years after they were married his mother passed away and my Uncle has been raising him ever since."  Lee rubs my back and leans down "I have this Shelly."  I look up at him and he gulps.
