The Kissing Booth

Dr. Weissler report to delivery .

Look at that cute baby! That's me, Elle Evans.

And the smelly, less-cute baby right next to me? That's my best friend Lee.

Lee and I were born on the same day, at the same time,

here in Los Angeles, California.

Our moms were BFFs before people even used the term "BFF, "

so we were raised like twins

and we've been pretty much inseparable ever since.

I don't remember a lot from before high school,

but for as long as I can remember,

Lee and I have absolutely

loved to dance.

Anyway a lot of stuff has happened between now and then.

Let me get you up to speed. First Christmas I remember, I was six.

I got a Barbie dance party. Lee got a scooter.

Broke my leg riding Lee's scooter.

Had my cast signed by Lee, who bought me ice cream to make up for breaking my leg.

Dressed as a cowboy for Halloween, Lee went as a doctor.

Learned how to ride a bike, learned how to swim.

Got protected by Lee's older brother Noah,

who chased off some bullies who were hassling us.

Had to pay protection tax, though.

Discovered the place that we loved to dance most.

Watched Lee catch his first fish.

Watched Noah in his first fight. He won.

Dressed as a fireman for Halloween.

Lee went as some weird bird.

Found out that my mom was sick .

Went to visit her in the hospital for the first time.

Tried to get used to seeing her there.

Got in a fight with Lee over who's the best dancer.

Made up by getting him ice cream.

Got in a fight with Noah for beating up Lee.

Made up with Noah by letting him fix my bike.

He is so handy!

Got my first bra. Didn't really need it.

Discovered I like soccer.

Discovered a way to get to our favorite place to dance.

Discovered that I wasn't gonna be a fashion icon. Discovered I am good at sports.

Had a tough talk with Dad.

Sat with mom in the hospital.

I tried to help her put makeup on.

Not much help.

Hey...

Held her hand a long time.

Only cried when she was asleep.

Tried to score my first kiss with Randy Melrose.

Wasn't exactly a love connection.

Watched Noah getting really, really cute!

Watched Noah in yet another fight. He won.

Got my period! Finally!

Went as a pirate for Halloween.

Lee was the Black Swan.

Said goodbye to my mom.

Had a lot to say.

Told her all about Noah.

Watched Noah ride his motorcycle for the first time.

Watched Lee try to ride Noah's motorcycle.

Watched Noah teach Lee a lesson for sitting on his motorcycle.

Celebrated with Lee when he got his dream car.

Learned that girls can be really mean.

Played Seven Minutes in Heaven. Fail!

Got a bra I suddenly did need!

Wondered why I still hadn't been kissed yet or even been on a date.

No big deal, I guess.

Realized I had a crush on Noah.

Got over my crush on Noah...

mostly.

Well...

I think that's about it.

And that's me today,

savoring the last fleeting moments of summer at Lee's totally awesome house.

It's moments like this that make me wish things could stay this way forever.

Ew! Perv!

Hey, Lee, guess what Warren texted the entire school!

Lee?

-Lee? -Geronimo!

Oh, no.

Oh, my God! That was a good one!

That was a good one!

Here, come here, take a seat.

So, tomorrow, first day of school,

the student council is expecting our dance club idea

this week for the fall fundraiser.

We're gonna be in trouble if we don't come up with something fast.

Yeah.

I know what you're thinking.

Noah Flynn is stupid hot,

but Lee and I developed a list of friendship rules.

Lee was responsible for Rule Number Nine,

which specifically states, "relatives of your best friend

are totally off-limits."

This is a really big one for Lee.

I guess it comes from living in the shadow of a high school legend.

Lee, you seen my athletic cup?

Yes, asshat.

I needed it for all those varsity sports I'm constantly playing, you know?

Hey, Shelly.

He knows I hate being called Shelly .

Yes, Noah?

I know he hates being called Noah.

When did you get the boobs?

When you were at football camp learning to be a better douche.

It was almost like she was on human growth hormones or something.

Lee! Rule Number Two, please!

Rule Number Two: Never share our secrets with anyone else .

Whatever. Listen. M and D are out of town Friday night,so party starts at eight.

Don't invite any jackasses.

Does that include you?

Ay!

Ah!

-Ow. -

What an ass!

I know!

Hey, hey, hey! Rule Number Nine, young lady!

Oh, come on!

As if!

Yeah, well, you got a little bit of drool on the corner of your mouth.

-Right here? Oh, do I? -Yeah.

-Do I really? -You do.

Oh, no! Are you kidding me?

-Oh, my God! -

Hey, Dad, where are my other pairs of school pants?

They're at the cleaners.

Come on!

Ninth grade skirt on eleventh grade body.

Perfect!

Okay.

Good morning!

-Morning. -Morning.

Elle...

Dad, my pants ripped. This is literally all I had.

I swear. I promise.

Okay, I suppose I could swing by the cleaners,

drop them off at school.

Really?

Oh, my God, that would be amazing!

-Thank you! -

Bye! I love you!

-I love you more! -Bye! I love you!

Don't say anything!

Okay? My pants ripped.

-You should have back-ups. -My backups are at the cleaners.

-What about your back-up back-ups? -These are my back-up back-ups!

-Okay, okay! -Come on, let's go!

Okay, I'm trying. Seriously though, cover up.

-Like, I'm trying to drive. - Stop! You're so stupid!

Nice landing, ace!

Well, if you got your driver's license,

you wouldn't have to put up with my driving.

Okay, but why would I do that when I have you as my personal chauffeur?

True.

Oh! And today,

fundraiser ideas.

-Fine. -Thank you!

Hey, man, is that girl new?

Jeez, guys! Check out that.

Oh, my word!

Yo! I think that's Elle Evans!

Everybody's looking at us.

Allow me to revise. Everyone is looking at you.

-Damn! -What? No, they're not!

Elle, you are aware that your lady shape sort of changed over the summer, right?

It was true.

This was the moment that happens to all of us

when you suddenly go from invisible to everyone staring at you.

-What the hell, Tuppen? - It's fine, Lee. I got this.

Relax, tiny Flynn.

How about I relax your face?

Lee, it's fine! I got this! Lee!

I did not think that through.

No, no, no!

Noah!

Noah, stop!

Enough, Noah! Stop! Are you crazy?

Knock it off!

Knock it off!

Now you three, in my office!

-Me? -Now!

Everyone, homeroom! Now!

Douchebag!

He even gets credit for my fights!

Why did you do that?

Lee was in trouble.

Any excuse for a fight, right?
