Livy's always been the supporting actress rather than the star of both her real life and the school plays.  She thought she was happy living on the sidelines until  she's cast as the lead in the school play opposite her step brother's best friend, high-school bad boy Xander Davis.  Now Livy suddenly finds herself center stage in both the play and a secret romance with Xander.  Is she willing to take the risk of stepping out into the spotlight or will she stay in the safe role she has always know?




This story is inspired by the movie the Kissing Booth.  Or, really, interviews I saw with Joey King and Jacob Elordi about filming the Kissing Booth.  I thought how romantic it was that they fell in love while filming the movie.  And, I thought how incredibly awkward it would have been for a teenage girl to do all of those scenes if she had been any less self assured and professional than Joey King is.  So , I set my story in a high school that was putting on the play the Kissing Booth, and made my own characters with their own insecurities and struggles.  I will be updating this once a week if anyone starts reading it.

A/N: I wrote this story when I was 15 it will definitely not the best thing you have ever read but I feel like I won't be editing it just as a reminder. This story takes place in a small town called Kingston Hill. It's the classic story of a boy meets girl, but it isn't easy. At first everything was platonic but grew. Some things happened and some things went wrong. Loss, heart ache, and plenty of emotional pain. Read on to experience the wonderful relationship of the core four, house of cards, high school royalty, known by plenty of names, you'll learn that nothing is ever perfect, difficulties happen and to this group of friends there is plenty of them. ------------ "I want you to kiss me" She said looking down at me "Is that all you want?" I questioned, my voice low and seductive. I wanted her in every way possible but I knew I couldn't tell her that because now wasn't the time. "I want you to kiss me like it's the first time in forever" She whispered breathlessly and that's exactly what I did. I stood up and dropped my hands to her waist and pulled her into me, I looked into her eyes down to her lips before leaning down to press my lips to hers. First it started slow and sweet before I grew hungry for more making my stomach explode with fireworks as I wrapped my arms around her waist and felt her arms slither around my neck. ------------ (This has switch POVs sometimes third, sometimes first it really matters how it feels with the chapter) Warning- story has some sexual suggestions, and sensitive topics such as miscarriage, depression, stalkers, and drug addiction.

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.
