Read and Review

Next Day

- Your head isn't in the field - Chris said when noticed John was playing worse than a kid who had just started giving his few steps in a basketball field - What is going on?

- Nothing - John replied throwing the ball back to Chris and then walked to the stands where his gym bag was placed.

- It doesn't seem nothing to me - Chris threw the ball to the GYM's floor and followed John. While they were waiting for their teammates, John and Chris decided to make a small practice. But with John's head in another place, it was being impossible to do it.

- It isn't anything - John repeated once again and picked up a bottle of water. He couldn't stop thinking about the past day events. He has always been aware of Kelly's crush, but he never thought she would end up kissing him.

- When the practice starts, it's better to not be really anything. If you play during the practice as you are playing now with me, you will be in the bench until the end of the season - Chris advised John. Knowing their coach as they did, both knew it could happen.

- Fine - John sat on bench and took a depth breath. He was going to reveal Chris what was boring him - Kelly kissed me.

- Okay - Chris didn't understand John's problem. In fact, he couldn't see how kissing Kelly could be a problem - What's going on?

- Kelly kissed me - John repeated realising his mood was getting worse.

- Fine. A hot chick kissed you. What is really going on?

- Didn't you hear me? - at this point John wanted to choke Chris. He was telling his friend what was going on and it seemed Chris was joking with him - Yesterday Kelly kissed me!

- Yes, I heard you. But what's wrong with that? You already knew she was after you. I don't know how she didn't throw herself at you sooner.

- Kelly kissed me when I was leaving the practice. The coach was still in the locker rooms and he saw her kissing me - John explained the situation better to Chris. Maybe if the man hadn't seen it, John wouldn't be feeling so bothered.

- Now I get it - Chris said and sat at John's side. A smirk was crossing Chris' face - You don't have to worry. I don't see the man talking with his daughter about you and Kelly. I don't think he would talk with his daughter about his students' personal life.

- I was more worried with my father than with Stacy - if his father thought he had a girlfriend (or someone close to it), his life, which already was a hell, would get worse.

- I thought you wanted something with the girl - Chris exclaimed very surprised. Since John presented Stacy to him, he had gotten the feeling John wanted something with the girl, he wanted something more than just a friendship.

- First thing: I'm not going to have these kinds of conversations with you - having sentimental talks with Chris, or any guy, wasn't something John was willing to do - Second thing: She dated Randy. I'm not going to date his ex-girlfriend. It would be strange and weird.

- I thought you didn't want to have these kinds of conversations with me - Chris stood up and picked up the basketball ball he had placed on the wooden floor.

- I'm not having these kinds of conversations with you - John replied closing the bottle of water with the plastic cap he had removed a while ago.

- You answered my question. It means you were having these kinds of conversations with me - turning to John, Chris threw the ball. John was caught by surprise, but picked up the ball in time - Do you want to keep playing or not?

- Oh My God - the Bella twins exclaimed at the same time. Kelly had revealed them the kiss she had shared with John.

- And he didn't push me away - a bright smile was crossing the young blonde's face.

- So, are you together? - one of the twins asked. Kelly was too lost in her thoughts about her non-existent relationship with John to notice which one of them made the question.

- We didn't talk about it - Kelly answered and started playing with a hank of her long blonde hair. Nikki and Brie exchanged a look. Just because you kiss someone, it doesn't mean you are together.

- Why didn't you talk about it? - Nikki questioned Kelly. Both twins wanted to know the details to understand if John and Kelly were together for real or if it was Kelly's head fantasizing it.

- Because when we were kissing, his coach appeared and we had to break apart. It would be rude if we didn't break apart - Kelly explained to her friends - When the man left, John told me we would talk later.

- Did you already talk? - now, it was Brie's time to make Kelly a question. Both twins were very doubtful of Kelly's story. They could be friends, but since Kelly made up the rumour about John being involved with a girl, so he wouldn't have an opportunity with the same girl, they knew Kelly could make up a story very quickly.

- I'm waiting for him to leave the practice. After it, we will talk - Kelly sighed in relieve - I can't believe I was so worried with that blonde chick. If he didn't push me away, it means he wanted it too. It means he liked it and he likes me.

- Didn't you catch him off guard? - if it was another day, those words would make Kelly yell with her friends, but the blonde was too lost in her past days activities.

- He didn't push me away. He even kissed me back - Kelly realized the way how Nikki and Brie were looking to each other: she could read by their eyes how crazy they were thinking she was - What kind of friends are you? Can't you be happy for me?

- Yes, we can, but we don't want you to get hurt - Nikki wanted to put some sense inside Kelly's head - What if the kiss didn't mean to him the same thing it meant for you?

- I just know it did. John likes me and that kiss was just the beginning of our relationship - a dreamy smile showed in Kelly's face. She took a look to her cell phone. She couldn't stop counting the seconds until go meet her new boyfriend.

- Don't you think it is too much red? - Stacy asked her friends that were taking from boxes they had brought from home all kinds of red objects and decorations.

- It's a Kissing Both - Melina replied placing her hands on her hips - Which colour did you expect?

- I was expecting some pink, purple and other colours derived from the red. I wasn't expecting only red.

- Stop complaining - Candice advised Stacy and took from one of the boxes a red table cloth and set it above the table that was in the middle of the booth.

- I'm going to kiss fifty guys inside this booth. I have to feel comfortable - Stacy exclaimed and crossed her arms beneath her chest - I have all the right to complain.

- Red is the colour of passion. Passion and kisses are related - Candice backed to the boxes and this time took from them red ties - So, you just have to deal with it.

- Isn't red also the colour of sex? - Jillian asked and gave Torrie a couple of chandeliers and candles. Those would decorate the table.

- Does sex have a colour? - Stacy questioned her friends.

- Yes, Stacy. It has a colour - Melina answered and gave Stacy a box containing roses inside it. The blonde looked at the box and then to Melina - Put them inside the jar on top of the table.

- So, red is the colour of love, passion and sex - Jillian concluded and went to search inside the boxes other useful items. As it was the Kissing Booth, the girls wanted to create an environment of passion and magic.

- I never understand how sex and love are represented by the same colour. Sex and love are two completely different things - Torrie spoke and collocated one of the chandeliers above the table. While waiting for the answer, the blonde sat on top of one of the chairs inside the booth. The other chair was taken by Stacy, who was placing the roses very carefully inside the vase.

- To have sex, you have to be in love - Candice commented, but very quickly Jillian showed the brunette how wrong she could be.

- Not always. You can have sex without be in love. A lot of people have sex without be in love. You just have sex because you want to do it.

- You only have sex without be in love if you are a whore - Stacy talked only to feel Mel's eyes on her.

- No, I would be whore if I only had sex for money - Melina corrected Stacy and then gave her a bag of sweets. A confuse Stacy leaned her hazel eyes on the sweets - Don't ever say I'm a bad friend.

- Why do I need those? - Stacy questioned Melina - My birthday was a week ago.

- You aren't going to need those, but the guys you are going to kiss are going to need them - Melina explained to Stacy - Bad breath.

- At least they gain more money in one hour than we will earn during the Carnival - Torrie commented. All the money they raised would be sent to a children hospital nearby.

- We can always dress miniskirts and tiny tank tops that would show our assets. More people would come - Candice proposed and turned the hem of the skirt up, showing her thighs more than she should. All the girls had to use skirts to the knees or would end up being punished.

- Correction: More guys would come - Torrie said and felt obsessed - I don't think I could dress like that. After all I'm going to be a clown. I have to be PG.

- Well, you can always be the daddies' clown. They would droll for you - with those words, Melina threw one of the red balloons (she had filled with air), to Torrie, who caught it.

- Why does everything end ups in sex? - Stacy asked to no one in particular and then saw Torrie throwing the balloon to her. Grabbing the balloon, Stacy, as the other girls, heard a voice.

- Girls, if you don't change the topic of conversation right now, you are going to detention- one of the nuns, who was controlling the students while they were decorating the booths, had heard a few pieces of their talk - Candice straighten your skirt.

None girl said a word. They waited for the nun to leave to exchange a look between them. The students from the catholic didn't take long to burst into laughter.

- How was your day? - James asked his daughter. All the family was reunited in the kitchen dinning.

- Tiring - Stacy simply answered without take the eyes from the pasta her mother had made for the dinner. She had spent more than five hours with her friends preparing booths for the Carnival.

- Why? Don't tell me you had to wait more than ten minutes to get your hair and nails done - Kyle joked with his older sister - If you want to know, your hair looks worse than it did this morning.

- No, I just spent my day mounting a booth and decorating it - Stacy couldn't understand how it could be hard to fight the will she had to answer Kyle.

- When is the Carnival? - James asked his daughter. He remembered hearing the blonde teenager talking about with her friends when they came over.

- This weekend - Stacy answered and wrapped one of her around the glass cup - It's Saturday.

- I have a game Saturday - James didn't want to disappoint Stacy. He knew how important the Carnival was and he didn't want to miss it - I'll try to make it.

- Don't worry. I and Kyle will go and support Stacy - the older woman, whose name was Katherine, comforted her husband.

- I don't want to go. I have more important things to do than support Stacy in her stupid Carnival - Kyle felt a kick under the table. Watching around the table, he realized it was James. The way how the man was looking to Kyle, made the younger boy wish he had never opened his mouth.

- If you don't want to go, you don't need to go. I don't need you around - Stacy directed the words to Kyle. She really didn't want her family to go. If James and Katherine knew she was going to work in the kissing, they would lock her in her bedroom and make sure she wouldn't be seen in the Carnival.

- Mom, I guess I can go with you - Kyle spoke and glanced to his father, who was smiling. The young teenager started playing with his food. He hated to do nice things, especially if those nice things involved Stacy.

- Will we ever have a normal dinner inside this house?

- No because Kyle is a teenager with his hormone pulling more than they should - Stacy answered his mother. Kyle didn't take a second to answer to Stacy's provocation.

- Look who is talking!

- What do you mean with that?

- I'm sure you broke up with Randy because you already had someone under your eyes - a smirk crossed Kyle's face. If Stacy could, she would punch in the mouth just to make the smirk vanish.

- You broke up with Randy? - Katherine sounded very surprised. She didn't know her daughter had broken up with her boyfriend - Why didn't you tell me?

- I really don't want to talk about it mom.

- Did you know about it? - the older woman asked her husband.

- No - James lied. He didn't want to bring problems to his and Stacy's side. He knew his wife and she didn't like to be left apart. She always needed to know everything that was going on inside (and out) the house where she lived - Well, some relationships end and others begin.

- I knew you had someone under your eyes - to not answer Kyle, Stacy decided to drink the orange juice inside her glass cup.

- Do you know something I hate? Have to put up with my team living on San Valentine's Day every day.

"Why does all the conversations I have today to end up in the colour red?" Stacy asked to herself and hid the smile that wanted to appear. She just couldn't forget the talk between her and her friends.

- I'm just talking about my team. I need to have them focus, but they are more worried with the opposite sex.

- You can't prohibit them for dating and you can't control them - Katherine advised her husband - After all, they are just kids.

- Dad, you didn't control Stacy. How do you think you are going to control all your team? - Stacy gave her brother a dirty look. They boy only had pleasure by letting her down.

- I didn't need to be controlled. But you will need to be controlled if dad doesn't want to be grandpa before his fifty.

- I know I can't control them - James decided to ignore Kyle and Stacy and kept the talk he was having with his wife - I just wished they could leave at least my locker rooms alone.

- What happened? - Katherine asked feeling curious.

- Do you know the Cena's kid? I caught him in my locker room with a girl - James revealed. Stacy, who was drinking juice, chocked. A smirk appeared on Kyle's face.

- Is something wrong my beloved sister?

- No. I just choked on the water - Stacy answered placing the glass on above the table. She couldn't stop thinking to herself how she hated Kyle's smirk.

- Thought it could be something more. I thought it could be someone - the last words were said in a whisper. Only Stacy heard them.

- Can we have a normal dinner for the first time in all our life? - Stacy decided to ignore the rest of conversation between her parents and Kyle. "This is getting very weird" Stacy thought to herself without understand the feeling that was running through her mind.

I'm sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes. English isn't my first language.
