The Kissing Booth A New Chapter

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Margot looks at us and asks, "what do you mean let the games begin?"  Lee jumps out of the pool and kneels in front of me "please Shelly I am so sorry I won't talk about you and Noah being gross anymore.  Please please I mean it I am sorry I should have kept my mouth shut."  I glare at him "yes, you should have, and you were warned the last time you broke rule #2 what would happen."  Margot, Lara Jean, and Peter were all looking at us with questions in their eyes, and it was Noah that answered Margot's question and the unspoken question both Lara Jean and Peter had in their eyes.  "See these two dorks have a set of rules they live by the only ones I have figured out so far after all these years since they are top secret is rule #2 with is always keep your besties secret or something like that.  Rule #18 always be happy for your bestie and Rule #9, which has changed since Shelly and I got together.  See we didn't tell you all the whole story about mine and Shelly's relationship.  When we first got together, we kept it a secret because of what was then Rule #9 although I didn't know this but suspected it because I had heard Lee tell it to her whenever I was around, and I busted her checking me out.  Well, when Lee found out he didn't approve so, Shelly broke up with me to make Lee happy even if she wasn't.  It wasn't until their 17th birthday almost a month after she broke up with me that he relented and they changed the rule or dropped it I don't know."  "Well, technically Noah, we decided to only keep Rule #2 and Rule #18 after we graduated since we made those rules when we were six."  "Well, by breaking Rule #2 Lee is in trouble, and our Shelly here is or at least was when we were in High School, the queen of practical jokes.  Whenever someone pisses her off, she pranks them until she feels satisfied that she has humiliated them enough."   

I grin at Lee and jump up running in the house, locking myself in his room.  I go to his underwear drawer and pull out a picture he took of himself in a speedo flexing his muscles and scanned it into his computer and then emailed it to myself.  I could hear Lee banging on the door, and I grabbed the picture slid it back into place deleted the scan history and the picture from his computer as well as deleting the email I sent to myself before letting him in while I held the said speedo's in hand and ran outside to show everyone.  As I ran up and yelled, "well looky what Lee had in his underwear drawer a speedo bathing suit."  I hear everyone giggle and shake their head at me while Lee narrows his eyes at me.  Peter looks shakes his head again, "please, that is not that big of a deal."  "Yeah, I know so unlike you twin,"  I smirk, and I hear Lee's phone ping as well as all those around us.  I watch them as they all look at their phones, and there is Lee in his speedo's with a caption "man, I think I'm sexy."  Lee glares at me, "please Shelly no more."  I grin, "round one is done."  I skip up to Noah and sit in his lap, cuddling up to him as Lee shakes his head, "damn what have I done."  Peter looks at him, "dude some girls like the pic."  "Yeah, but you don't know Shells this is just the warm-up."  I grin "yep, it is, and if Lee is lucky, I will finish it all here if not I will finish it in Boston, oh the joy of payback let's see should I do a prank a day for a week or stretch it out for months."   

As I giggle  in Noah's arms, he shakes his head "Lee, how many times does she have to prank the hell out of you before you stop letting your mouth get you in trouble."  I hear Peter laughing and look at him, "what is so funny, Peter?"  "That guy Tuppen that is after Margot just posted (Ahh Little Flynn what did you do?) then some guy named Duncan responded (I bet he broke Rule #2 in front of their college friends concerning Flynn's and Evans's relationship.)  Next response was from yearbook guy (Yep and if I were Lee I would run the queen just finished round one, and it is good.)  I just smirked at Peter "see Noah told you I was the queen.  No one at Buckner ever made me truly mad they may have annoyed me but hardly ever mad since they never knew what I would do to make them pay."  As I was sitting there, I grinned evilly at Lee, and I hear Noah "uh oh she just thought of a new prank."  Lee looks at me "please Shelly I mean it I am so sorry.  How often you and Noah are gross is no one's business."  Noah shakes his head, "yet you keep digging the hole you're in deeper and deeper bro."  "Man Shelly Noah isn't upset."  Noah laughed "oh, I am upset which is why if she wants my help I will help her, but I know how much she loves this and I love when she is happy plus I love the little sparkle she gets in her eye when she thinks of an evil prank." 

The next day I ran to the store and bought all the supplies I was going to need.  When I got back, I grinned when I saw that Lee was home and I saran wrapped his precious mustang with Christmas themed wrap since it was all on sale.  Luckily for me, he had the top up, which made it even better.  I texted Noah and asked him to come out and help me with the stuff I bought, and he took one look at Lee's car and almost fell laughing.  "Shelly he is going to kill you that is his baby."  "Well, teach him to put our s*x life out there for all the world to hear."  I took a bunch of pictures of his car texted Lee that it was time for our bestie day, which made this so much better.  When he walked out, I took a picture of his face as he stared at his car his baby.  Posted it and what the car looked like to all social media sites, "ahh poor Lee can't play with his baby."  Even Peter responded with "how could you that is a classic."  Tuppen replied, "with Evan's nothing is sacred but don't worry, it won't hurt the car she would never go that far."  I skipped around taking pictures of Lee as he unwrapped his baby glaring at me the whole time.  After every few pictures, I would post his progress.  I even posted a video to YouTube of his progress.  Took him longer to unwrap the car then it did for me to wrap it and I was having so much fun watching him as he became more frustrated by the minute realizing it was in layers.   

I hear a car pull up as Lee is working, and I am taking the video when I hear, "Lee, what on earth did you do Elle that made her saran wrap your car."  When Mathew stepped out of the car, he was almost on his knees; he was laughing so hard.  I giggled waiting to hear how he was going to answer this one.  He glared at me, and I smirked at him, "I broke one of our bestie rules."  June shook her head while my dad and Brad laughed "When will you ever learn son?"  June asked him only to hear from my dad,  "obviously never how many times is it now he has broken one of those crazy rules."  I grinned, "I lost count, unlike the one time I broke one."  "yeah and technically your still breaking that rule."  I shook my head, "nope you agreed it wasn't a fair rule, and we abolished it."  I slipped into the house and grabbed the purple hair dye I had bought and poured it into Lee's shampoo bottle.  The dork never looks at his shampoo, that is why one time he went around smelling like my shampoo for a whole week and didn't understand why he kept smelling cinnamon apples.  Since that happened I knew he wouldn't check his shampoo and would end up with purple hair and this was semi-permanent which meant unless he wanted to dye his hair he would have to leave it for at least a month oops he will have purple hair for MIT. 

After Lee finished, we took off to the arcade and played our game, and of course, we scored high enough to be on the leaderboard yet again.  By this time, we were knocking off our low scores and replacing them with higher scores.  We ordered our lunch and sat down, eating and talking when we saw the Covey's and Peter walk in and head over to our table.  "You mean to tell me you two still hang out during the prank war."  Lee grumbles "it is not a prank war.  It is payback if I were to prank her back, it would only get worse.  The last time someone started a prank war with her let's say they didn't return to Buckner Hall."  I giggled, "that was a good one she should never have tried to spread that rumor that she caught us sleeping together."  "What did you do?"  "Oh, I got her phone and saw she had sent a picture of herself to Noah in a bikini saying if he wanted her, he could have her and him rejecting her."  I giggled "oh, I should say at the time Noah and I were together which is what started the prank war when she told me in front of the whole school that I would never be good enough for Noah, and he was only using me."  Peter shook his head, "so, you all still hang out even if she can prank you here."  I shook my head, "oh, no, the arcade is off limits, and once we leave the house for our bestie day, no pranks can be played until we return."   

Eventually, we did return home, and I was lying in Noah's arms when I heard Lee's shower start up. I started to giggle and was laying in Noah's arms, trying not to laugh.  Noah looks down at me "what did you do this time Shelly?"  "Oh, you will see in the morning.  I know my twin when he gets done he will dry off throw all his towels in the hamper brush his hair, and go to bed since he brushes his teeth in the shower."  Noah sits up and looks at me "how do you know this?"  "Hello remember before there was an us I used Lee's shower and would see his toothbrush and toothpaste in there."  "Ok ok calm down."  We stayed up talking, and I started telling him some of my plans his only response was, "so are you going to continue this in Boston or end it here?"  "Oh, the pranks will end here since I know my twin and before we land Lee will realize all he has to do is stay on the MIT campus and it will make it harder for me to prank him.  Although...it will be more challenging I need to think on that one.  All I can say is some of the pranks might carry over to Boston."  Noah's eyes widen, he gets up and looks in the bathroom facepalms "you didn't Shelly baby seriously?"  "Didn't what Noah?"  He walks over to me and whispers "put purple hair dye in his shampoo."  I grin, lean up, kiss him on his lips, "goodnight baby."   

I fall asleep thinking about what tomorrow was going to bring and exactly how Lee was going to react.  Little did Lee know and Noah know I had set up a motion sensor camera that Mathew loaned me aimed at Lee's mirror so I could get his reaction when he saw his purple hair and since the password to the security cameras here was the same as the one at the apartment I had access to all the footage here to get stills of Lee's face as he storms to our door.  Not to mention, I will have my camera ready to take my picture of Lee.
