After The Kissing Booth

Break ups

"Elleeeeeeeee." Brad says knocking on my door.
"Hmm? What?" I say rubbing my eyes and looking at the alarm clock.

7:45 I read. Wait 7:45 ! I jump out of bed and rush to get my uniform out of my closet.

"Lee's here, he's waiting for you." Brad says knocking on my door again.
"Tell him I'll be down in five." I say rushing putting my uniform on.
"Okay, but then you might be late."
"I know." I whine.

After quickly doing makeup and making myself look presentable I run downstairs.

"Sorry I over slept." I say quickly walking down the stairs.
"I assumed that." Lee says getting off the couch.
"You okay?" Lee asks.
"Yeah, I mean, I barley slept last night because of it but I'm okay." I say putting my shoes on.
"Okay, lets go before we're late." Lee says rushing me.
"I know, I know." I say opening the door.

When we arrive at school Lee and Rachel do there normal morning thing. I walk into the school at spot Ethan, so I walk the opposite way. I hear my name said and footsteps behind me.

"Elle can we please ta-"
"No okay, you may have just ruined my whole relationship with Noah, so thanks a lot." I say a little loud but not loud enough for anyone else to hear.
"But-"

I just walk away.

"What happened earlier with you and Ethan?" Lisa asks at the lunch table.
"Nothing." I say turning back to my sandwich.
"Well something obviously happened." Emily (Rachel's friend) says.
"I don't really want to say it in front of everyone." I say not looking up from my food.
"Okay then." Lisa grabs my hand

Lisa and Emily drag me to the bathroom.

"Okay now what happened, you can trust us." Emily asks.
"Fine, last night Ethan came over to babysit with me and he-he kissed me." I sigh.

Both girls eyes grow big.

"What?!" They both say.
"So you and Ethan are a thing now? I thought you and Noah were-"
"No, we aren't a thing, I don't like Ethan, well I only like him as a friend, never as a boyfriend." I say interrupting Lisa.
"Okay, what did Noah say?" Lisa asks.
"He said he would talk to me tomorrow, so today."
"Did he seem angry?" Emily asks like a noisy 3 year old.
"Yes." I say under my breath.

After the girls both calm me down, I guess, even thought I was already calm until the girls talked to me about it, we go back to the cafeteria.

"Where were you guys." Rachel asks as we sit down.
"Oh just in the bathroom." Emily says.
"All together?" Rachel says confused.
"Mhm." Emily says making it not seem obvious.
"Oh okay." Rachel says confused.

After school Lee drops me off at home and heads off to Rachel's to have a date night with her.

I go up to my room and change into leggings and a t-shirt. I take my makeup off and just put some lip balm on. And sit and my laptop waiting for Noah to call me.

After waiting at my laptop for two hours (FYI I was on my phone the whole time) Noah finally calls.

I answer on the first ring. "Hi."
"Hi." Noah says gulping.
"Wh-what's up?" I say trying to make conversation.
"Okay look Shelly, I love you, but I think we should take a break." Noah says without stutter.
"Wh-wha-what?" I as my eyes grow big.
"It's just we need a break, time to ourselves." Noah says gulping.
"So we-we-we are breaking up?" I say as a year rolls down my cheek.
"I guess." Noah says frowning.

I just close my laptop.

I sit there balling my eyes out. I need someone right now, but Lee's with Rachel, I can't interrupt them. Lee's really my only friend. Other then Lisa and Emily. But they're just kind of my friends because of Rachel and Lee. Should I call them, or text them at least. I can't sit here crying alone.

I grab my phone and text Lisa.

"Hey, um well me and Noah broke up, and well do you think we can maybe hang out, it's okay if it's a no, no pressure." I text Lisa.
"Omg Elle ofc we'll be at your in 20." Lisa texts me back in not even a second.

I sit on my bed in tears. Noah just broke up with me. I wanted to get married to him, have a family with him. Only him. I don't feel the same with anyone. Ethan kissing me just wasn't like Noah kissing me. It didn't feel magical.

"Are you okay." Lisa says as soon as she opens my door.
"I don't know." I say in tears.
"Oh Elle." Emily says putting her arm around me.
"It's going to be okay."
"Is it, is it really going to be okay, because I thought we would get married, have a family, but now that's-that's gone." I say crying into Emily's shoulder.
