The Kissing Booth Why Now?

71. REALLY *

Justin and I talked a while before we both went to sleep and I couldn't help but dream about my girl. I missed her so much it hurt sometimes. I got dressed and headed to my class and had people staring at me as I went. It didn't take long before one of the guys bounded up. "Dude they posted a video of you denying Lacy." "That was her name." He laughed "yeah dude. There she was hitting on you and trying to blow you and you don't know her name.' I shrugged my shoulders "why would I care to know her name. I did not want anything to do with her. So, how bad is that damn video." "Well, they claim that you wanted her to blow you but then chickened out because you're gay. They claim that your girl doesn't exist." I shake my head "I don't care." "Really dude you don't care." I turn to him "look I know the truth. My girl knows the truth." "You told her." "Duh, I was not going to let those assholes ruin my relationship. I have waited for her way too long to let some assholes break us up." "Wow dude." I shake my head "she is it for me always has been. I tried to let her go. I tried to move on but it didn't work." "Wow." I smiled "the moment I knew she loved me back I was ready to marry her." "Damn dude you are gone." I nodded "I always have been when it comes to my Rochelle."

We continued to walk and soon made it to our class and the professor stopped me "Mr. Flynn the dean of Schools would like to see you." I nodded and headed to his office knowing that soon this chapter will be closed. As I walked in I saw McDonald and that girl sitting there smirking. Shaking my head I checked in and took a seat as far away from them as possible. I was not in the mood for their shit. It didn't take long before the dean called me in and had me take a seat. "Mr. Flynn, what exactly happened last night?" I went into details of the evening and even told them about my call with Shelly and he sat there nodding. He looked at me stunned when I told him I filed a report and picked up his phone and asked them to send over the report. It didn't take long before his computer pinged and he checked the e-mail and nodded. "Well, this protects you from the claim that you met her in her room and you two had sex." I shake my head "you make it sound like there is more." "Yes, where were you on Thursday?" I shook my head "well around nine in the morning I was on a plane headed to L.A."

"Do you have your ticket?" I nodded and reached into my bag. I was grateful I hadn't emptied it since I came back and that I didn't ride on the private plane. I handed the ticket to the Dean and he saw that I had checked in at eight in the morning. He could tell by the ticket I didn't leave until Sunday afternoon and that I would not have landed in Boston until late evening. "What did you do when you arrived back on Sunday?" "Went to my room called my girl to tell her I landed and goodnight." I showed him my phone and he saw the call to Shelly and nodded. "OK, well those two out there are not going to like this new information. They said you would claim you went home but really didn't since there is no proof because you fly private." I shake my head "the last few times I did fly private but the plane I was using belongs to my girl's parents and they were using it themselves since they were out of the country." "Why did you fly back?" "Well here is where it wouldn't matter if I flew private or not." "Why do you say that?" "I flew back for a hearing. I was in court most of the day on Friday. Then we headed to Baton Rouge after everything exploded in the courtroom."

"What happened?" "The pervert after my girl admitted he planned on kidnapping her and making her marry him. He admitted to being the leader of I guess you could call it a cult." "Wait. The cult that was taken down this weekend was because of your girl." I nod my head "yep and I am so proud of her." "Now as for Miss Lacy Walters, how do you know her?" I shook my head "I don't. All I know about her is that she was Elva's roommate and tried to sleep with Justin my roommate and was busted by Elva while Justin was telling her not interested." "Oh, so she was that girl." "Yes sir. Why is that important?" "Because when we changed her room she was also put on probation and was warned not to repeat her actions or she would be expelled." "Sir, I did nothing to encourage her." My phone started going off and I saw it was Lee and sent him to voicemail. But he kept calling until the dean told me to answer the phone. "Lee so help me this better be an emergency." "Bro, have you been online." "No, Lee I am in a meeting with the dean of schools." "Good, then he can see what those two posted and the real video." "What are you talking about?" "They have a video of you sitting down and letting that girl undo your pants and blow you off. The thing is I could tell it wasn't you because when she lifted your shirt your birthmark was missing." "OK what about the other video." "Someone was videotaping her and posted how you turned her down and how McDonald and that other guy held you down and then were tackled giving you a chance to get away." "Damn has Shelly seen the videos." "Yes, she was the one that pointed out the missing birthmark."

"OK good. Look I have to go." "OK bye bro." "Bye Lee." The dean was way ahead of us and when I hung up looked at me "can I see this birthmark." I lifted up my shirt and he shook his head "well it is not like you can miss it that is pretty prominent." "Yep." "Would anyone know about it?" I nod "well yeah, everyone in high school since I would take off my shirt at pool parties, playing sports, at the beach..." "What about here?" "Same thing. I have taken off my shirt in the quad, on the field, and walked around my dorm building without a shirt especially to the shower and back." "OK good. I am going to call those two in." He pressed a button on his phone "please send them in." They walked in and smirked at me and that Lacy girl walked up to me and I stepped back "I told you I am engaged." "Oh, come on the dean knows the truth." The dean looked at her "you're right I know the TRUTH." She smiled and tried to touch me again and I moved away fast causing her to fall on her face. She jumped up and looked at the dean "he dropped me."

He shook his head "no he didn't he stepped away from you. You were told he wasn't interested he has a right to make sure you don't touch him." "He is my boyfriend..." "Stop right there. I know the Truth. As in I know you two are lying." "We are not lying. He only started rejecting me when he realized McDonald told his girl the truth." I looked at her "really when would that be." "On Friday when he went to L.A. to see her around ten in the morning." I started laughing "kind of hard since she was with me, my brother, her parents, her brother, a judge, bailiff..." "What do you mean." "The dean shook his head "she was in court where her lawyer was making sure that her would-be kidnapper went to jail." She looked around "he is lying." "No, he is not. I looked it up and he is listed as one of the witnesses." "Well have you seen the video of me and him last night?" "Yep, I saw them both. The one you posted having sex in your dorm room with a guy. OH, and the video someone else posted of him refusing you." "Yeah, but you saw he was with me." I smirked, "but the guy didn't have a birthmark." "Well duh you don't have one." I lifted up my shirt and she gasped "you have a birthmark. since when?" I shook my head "since the day I was born. You can scroll through my social media pages if you want."

It didn't take much longer before the dean excused me and I met the team at the field house and Layhee who helped McDonald hold me down asked where he was. I shook my head "not here." "Well, I want to know." "Mr. Layhee?" He turned and there was campus police "yes." "You are under arrest for the assault of Noah Xavier Flynn." "Dude really. McDonald told me you wanted to be held down so she could blow you and you wouldn't have to lose your girl." The rest of the guys stared at him and shook their heads. Coach glared at him "and you didn't think to ask Flynn personally." "Well, McDonald said he wanted it to be a surprise." Everyone shook their heads "yet, you never should have helped. The fact he had to be held down and it was in public should have cued you in something was wrong." As campus police dragged him off the coach looked around "we will be having open tryouts to fill the two open spots."

Waking up the next morning I couldn't help but smile remembering how Noah freaked out about Lee and I pranking him. I jumped up and got dressed and even though I had planned on wearing clothes I know Noah hates when I leave the house after jumping to conclusions last night I decided to let him off the hook. When I made it downstairs everyone was there and Becs pulled me into a hug "I am so sorry Elle." I looked at her funny "what are you talking about?" Lee walked in and hugged me and I started laughing "guys this isn't Noah." "How do you know Twin?" I shook my head "dork where is Noah's birthmark." Lee looked closer "shit your right." Becs looked at us and I smiled "Noah has a birthmark on his left side halfway up his eight pack. Plus this guy has a six-pack and Noah has an eight." "Damn your good Elle." I smiled "I just know my man." "Your still good." "Thank you."

We all grabbed breakfast and it wasn't long before we all separated to do our business. The Lawson's were surprised that Mathew and my dad wanted to install a security system in their home. Of course, Coach wanted to pay but Mathew refused. Mrs. Lawson tried talking to June but she would have nothing to do with convincing Mathew and my dad otherwise. We eventually made it to a clothing store because my mom insisted on us all having new outfits for Thursday. Becs laughed at me as I groaned and started trying on the dresses. My mom kept pushing the envelope with the dresses. I finally ended up with an A-line dress that skimmed my body with a scoop neck that flowed from my hips to mid-thigh. Lee shook his head "Noah is going to hate that dress." My mom smirked and wiggled her eyebrows at June and together they said "we know."
