Read and Review


- Do you see? You aren't being a third wheel! - The small gang guided by Damon, who was searching for Candice, had arrived to the Carnival. Punk was doing everything possible to not lose his young brother.

- Yes, I'm. I'm just not being a third wheel alone. - Jeff exclaimed and Amy rolled her brown eyes.

- What's a third wheel? - Damon questioned feeling curiosity. He could have his eyes searching for Candice, but he was still hearing the conversation between his brother and his friends.

- Every time you are with your brother and Ashley is with you two too, you are being a third wheel. - Jeff tried to explain to Damon who didn't understand.

- Can you explain it better?

- Forget it kiddo. Jeff doesn't know what he says. - Punk spoke and sent Jeff a dirty loo. If Damon understood the meaning of the word, he would make sure Ashley wouldn't hang out with them anymore.

- So, where is your neighbour? - Wapping her arm around Phil's, Ashley made Damon the question.

- Candice. - Damon exclaimed when saw the girl. Ignoring the people who were with him, Damon ran to Candice.

- Is she your neighbour? - Ashley placed her eyes on Candice. She never imagined a girl from a nuns' school could look as her. Punk never answered. Before he could Damon lose Damon, he ran after the younger boy.

- Damn, the boy really knows how to choose. - Jeff exclaimed only to feel Amy punching him in the arm.

- I have Trish's cell phone number in speed dialling.

- Is that girl his neighbour? - If Ashley had ever put her eyes on Candice, she couldn't believe how she forgot the girl. She was the kind of girl you didn't want to be your boyfriend's neighbour. She was the kind of the girl you didn't want to surround him.

- What's wrong Ashley? - Amy placed her hand on Ashley's shoulder.

- Nothing.

- Are you sure? Because I noticed the way how you expression changed when Punk left. Are you feeling threatened? - Amy tried to hit Jeff a second time after his question. Noticing Amy's fist getting closer, Jeff swerved.

- No! - Ashley replied feeling mad. Jeff shouldn't have asked it. - If you don't mind I'm going to meet Punk and Damon.

- She is jealous, right? - A couple of seconds after Ashley leave, Jeff spoke once again. Amy simply looked to him.

- I'm not going to have a girly talk with you Jeff. I only those kinds of conversations with your girlfriend or Ashley!

- Neither I'm going to have a girly talk with you - Jeff replied. - Damn Amy, I'm a guy. I'm a straight guy. Straight guys don't have those kinds of talks.

- You can be a straight guy, but you can only look to Trish. If I catch you checking out other girls, I'll make sure Trish will know about it.


- Hi Damon - Candice greeted the young boy when he arrived to her side. - I'm very amazed for seeing you here.

- My parents let me come and my brother brought me. - Damon exclaimed and felt Punk at his side. - This is my brother. I'm sure you already saw him with me. Phil this is Candice.

- I hope he isn't annoying you. - Candice couldn't believe he was talking with her. He had already changed a word or two with her, but those words were only greets. It was the first time he said more "Hi".

- He isn't - the teenager spoke trying to hide the big smile that wanted to cross her face.

- He was very excited for coming. - Punk said and felt Damon trying to push him away. Damon didn't want his older brother to be around. He wanted to be alone with Candice.

- Who's your friend Damon? - Wrapping her arm around Phil's arm, Ashley placed her eyes on Candice. The girl with pink strands observed Candice from head to toe. She was really the kind of girl you didn't want to see close of your boyfriend.

- Candice this is Ashley. My brother's girlfriend! - Damon presented the two girls.

- Nice to meet you. - Candice had noticed the way how Ashley was facing to her. It was like Ashley knew she had a crush on her boyfriend.

- Nice to meet you too. - Ashley pushed Phil even closer to her. "I'm acting as a psycho jealous girlfriend" Ashley thought to herself. Phil noticed something strange in Ashley's actions. - So, are you going to show Damon how things work around here?

- I would love you to be my guide. - A smile appeared on Damon's face. A big one. But not has bigger as Ashley's grin. - Can you be my guide?

- Damon! - Punk exclaimed. Candice had invited Damon to come to the Carnival, but she didn't say she would take care of him. It was Punk's job to keep his eyes on him.

- I have...- before Candice could say she couldn't stay with Damon, Ashley interrupted her.

- Oh My God. You are such a sweet person. Damon, be nice. - With those words, Ashley pushed Phil and the two walked away. Candice took a look at Damon and realized how happy he was. An unhappy Candice watched Phil and Ashley. Her plan didn't work as she wanted.


- It seems interesting. - John said trying to not show how annoyed he was. He had never liked Carnivals. Since he was kid, he hated them.

- I can notice how interesting it seems to you. - Even with all the effort he did t not show how he was tired of being there, Stacy had noticed it. - You are bored.

- I'm not bored - he tried to deny something everyone could see. - It's the best Carnival I ever seen prepared by a nuns' school.

- How many did you see? - John didn't seem the kind of person who would go every weekend to a different Carnival prepared by nuns.

- I'm trying to be a nice guy. I don't want to sound an asshole, but you are making it impossible.

- It's a Carnival for kids, not for people of your age.

- So, why do you have a Kissing Booth?

- To attract others than kids. For example: their brothers. - Stacy replied and then felt her cheeks turning red. How she wanted to be inside the Kissing Booth. With all the red, no one would notice she blushed.

- Isn't it a catholic school? Because what you told me didn't sound very religious. Catholic students are worse than the ones from public schools.

- I can still go tell my father about you. - Stacy threatened John, even if she would never do it.

- Damn. You are good at blackmailing - John joked. - So, when can you leave it?

- Why? - Stacy asked curious. Why did he want to leave?

- Because the last time I asked you to come lunch with me, you told me you already had plans. I want to ask again. Maybe now I'll have luck and you don't have plans.

- I can't. I have to stay here. - She had to stay not only because if her friends saw her leaving early, she would get in troubles, but her mother had told her she would pass by with Kyle and they haven't showed up yet.

- Your shift is already over. - John tried to convince her. He had already paid the fifty kisses. There was nothing for Stacy to do. - Why do you need to be here?

- When the Carnival ends someone has to clean it. Who do you think that will do it? - Not a good excuse because she was sure half of the girls would leave the Carnival sooner to not clean it.

- Your friends because you won't be here.

- I'll be here to help them cleaning - Stacy exclaimed. He was really insistent. - Do you ever accept "no" as answer?

- After lunch we can go play. I haven't seen everything you have to give yet. - Ignoring Stacy's question, John continued his quest to convince her to get out of the Carnival with him.

- You aren't going to see it. First because I'm not going to leave the Carnival with you and second I love when my ankle doesn't hurt me.

- How much time until you recover? - If he had followed the doctor orders, John wouldn't have been inside a basketball field for three months. He had only been out of action during one month and half.

- My ankle shouldn't be hurting me anymore. I think it didn't recover as it should and now I can't belong to a sport team.

- Maybe if you start working slowly, your ankle would get used to it. You could start playing again.

- You saw what happened the last time when I played with my brother. - Remembering such day, almost made Stacy blush again. She remembered the way she felt, how close they had been. And it was the last thing she wanted to remember because she didn't want to face the truth.

- You shouldn't quit. - John tried to encourage the blonde girl.

- Well, I don't want to make basketball a career as you. It is just a hobby.

- Who told you I wanted to make it a career?

- Don't you? - Stacy asked very surprised. Maybe it was the reason he didn't mind to miss a game to be in the "stupid" Carnival.

- I like to play because I'm good at it and it makes my father angry with me. I don't want it to be my job. But do I want my father to think I want it to be my job. It's a hobby for me too - John explained to Stacy and noticed how surprised she was. - Why do you seem so surprised?

- I just thought you wanted it to be your career. - The blonde was still without believe it was simply a hobby. She had seen him playing a couple of times and he was very dedicated to a sport that he only saw as a hobby.

- I want a long-term job. Not one where an injury can ruin everything.

- I never thought you were a down to Earth guy.

- Why? - It was a question he didn't need to make. He knew no one would ever think he had his head on the right place because of the way how he behaved.

- To start, you are always trying to make your father mad with you.

- Our relationship is weird. I could try to explain it to you, but I wouldn't have time to tell you all story and I don't think you want to hear it.

- Everyone has family problems. I'm always fighting with my brother. He is the biggest spoiled brat that you would ever meet.

- He can be a spoiled brat, but I think he likes you. He defended your honour when the rumour between us and Randy started. - The younger boy had threatened him. If Kyle didn't like his sister, he wouldn't have threatened a guy who could beat him very easily.

- I don't know if he was protecting my honour or his dignity. He didn't want his friends to talk about his sister and the way how she behaves.

- Maybe he isn't as awful as you think he is. Maybe he is a good kid.

- He isn't a good kid and he will never be it. If you want Kyle I can give him to you. I don't mind at all. I would love to be only child again. - Since Kyle started talking it had been one of Stacy's dreams to be only child.

- I think I pass. But I can take his sister with me, if you don't mind. - Stacy didn't reply. She gave him a smile. The sensation of having butterflies flying inside her belly returned more intense than ever.


- Where is your sister? - Katherine asked Kyle. The mother and son had arrived to the Carnival ten minutes ago and they had spent those minutes looking for Stacy who seemed to have vanished.

- Can we go now? I'm tired of being here. If my friends hear that I came here, they will joke with me until the rest of my life.

- We only arrived ten minutes ago. - The older woman replied and took a depth breath. Kyle could be more dramatic than Stacy.

- I know. That's why I already am tired. Can we go home? - Kyle proposed once again to his mother, but without luck.

- I want to see your sister first. I'll only leave after talk with her.

- And I want to win the lottery. I don't think none of us is going to have what we want. - Kyle mumbled under his breath. To his bad luck, the Keibler mother heard it.

- Kyle, I'm your mother. I can punish you if you don't stop giving me those kinds of answers. - Katherine sent Kyle a serious glance.

- Sorry mom. - A smile crossed Kyle's face when he saw Stacy a few feet away with John. "This is going to be great" Kyle thought to himself and touched his mother's shoulder - I think she is over there.


- Where is John? - Following Chris through the hall, which would lead them to the locker rooms, Kelly asked once again about John's whereabouts. - Is something wrong with him? Is he sick? Is he hurt?

Realizing Chris wouldn't answer, Kelly jumped to his front and the boy had to stop walking.

- Can you let me go to my locker rooms? I want to take a shower.

- No. - Kelly simply answered. She would only let him go, after he told her where John was. - Where is John?

- Why don't you try to see if he is inside my pocket? Maybe you will have luck and you will find him. - A very annoyed Kelly, sent him a deadly glance.

- Don't play with me. I want to know where my boyfriend is.

- Since when are you dating? - Chris asked very surprised. John had told him about the kiss, but he didn't tell him they were dating. John had told him that didn't want anything to do with the blonde cheerleader.

- It's nothing from your business.

- Kelly, get the hell out of my front before I push you away. - Not too happy, Kelly moved out from Chris's way. - Since when are you dating John?

- Since we kissed each other last week - a smiling Kelly answered forgetting she was mad because Chris wouldn't tell her where John was.

- Did you talk with him about it? Does he know you are two dating? - John almost promised he didn't want a relationship with Kelly.

- Of course he does. - It was such silly question that made Kelly laugh. - If we weren't dating, why would I tell people we are together?


I'm sorry for all the spelling and grammar mistakes. English isn't my first language. I really hope it isn't too hard to understand my writing.
