- [Narrator] This is the love plot
from the "Kissing Booth" trilogy.
Every relationship goes through stages,
especially ones that start
on the stage of a kissing booth.
- It was just a kiss.
- [Narrator] Or was it?
Let's break down Elle and Noah's relationship journey.
- Oh, yeah, god forbid anyone
actually thinks you're in a relationship.
- [Narrator] Noah and Elle's love is forbidden
thanks to her friendship rules with his brother, Lee,
mainly rule number nine,
which specifically states relatives of your best friend
are totally off limits.
But that couldn't stop Elle
from totally having a crush on Noah, mostly.
Despite their obvious chemistry,
Elle and Noah can't be together,
which makes them both do some stupid stuff,
like beating up dudes and dancing drunkly on tables.
- [Elle] Hm, this isn't so bad.
- [Narrator] Noah surprises Elle at the kissing booth
with her first-ever kiss, and it is steamy.
But it's about to get even steamier
because, on the way home,
Elle and Noah make out in the gazebo during a storm.
But between rule number nine and Noah's history...
- [Guard] Security. - Oh, my god.
- I thought I told you
not to bring girls around here anymore.
- What?
- [Narrator] This romance ends before it begins.
Even after making a super helpful pro/con list,
Elle just can't stop thinking about Noah.
And he can't stop thinking about her either.
- I'm crazy about you, Elle.
- If we do this, nobody can know.
- [Narrator] Elle has her third-ever kiss,
and then loses her virginity.
♪ The club was full last night ♪
♪ Just another guy, just another guy ♪
- [Narrator] They begin dating in secret.
But when Lee finds out and forces her to choose,
Elle picks Lee over Noah...
Even after Noah's romantic declaration at prom.
- I'm telling you that I love you.
- I'm sorry.
I just...
I can't keep hurting people
that I care about because of you.
- [Narrator] Luckily, Elle realizes
that she shouldn't have to choose
between her best friend and her boyfriend,
and makes things right with both Lee and Noah.
- Thank you.
I'm saying I love you.
The next few weeks before Noah left for school,
went spent every spare minute together.
- [Narrator] Elle and Noah spend a great summer together
before he goes away to Harvard.
Noah's away at Harvard, and Elle can't help
being insecure about their relationship...
- I'm trying to be mature
and not come off like some clingy girlfriend.
- [Narrator] Especially when she learns
about Noah's gorgeous new college friend, Chloe.
When Elle visits Noah,
they're both feeling more secure in the relationship,
until Elle finds Chloe's earring under Noah's bed.
- Okay, I know what you thought.
But I'm not sleeping with Chloe, okay?
- [Narrator] When Elle later catches Noah lying about Chloe,
her trust is broken.
This is complicated by her blossoming feelings
for her new friend-slash-dance partner, Marco.
Noah comes back home
to surprise Elle at her dance competition,
but she surprises him first by kissing Marco on stage.
Ouch.
After this bout of cheating
and a very intense confrontation at Thanksgiving,
it seems Elle and Noah are officially done.
- This has been lovely.
Chloe, always a pleasure.
But I think it's time for me to head out too.
- [Narrator] With a little encouragement from their friends,
Elle and Noah meet at their spot.
- It's you, Noah.
It's always been you.
- [Narrator] They make up, and make out.
By learning to communicate, they make long distance work
until Noah is back home for the summer.
Elle and Noah are still going strong when she graduates.
But now she has to decide
between going to UC Berkeley with Lee
or going to Harvard with Noah.
- [Elle] I had to pick a school
and make one of my two favorite people very unhappy.
- What!
- Stop, stop, stop, stop.
- [Narrator] When she chooses Harvard,
Noah is ecstatic and begins looking
at Boston apartments for them.
- To making dreams come true! - Dreams come true!
- [Narrator] But her efforts to make it up to Lee
start to damage her relationship with Noah.
- I feel like I'm leaving him all alone.
- Me asking you to come to Boston
isn't some evil plot to make you leave Lee behind.
- [Narrator] Soon, it becomes clear to Noah
that Elle is just trying to make everyone else happy
instead of figuring out what she really wants.
- [Noah] I don't wanna be one of the people
who makes you put yourself last.
- What does that mean?
- [Narrator] It means they're breaking up.
- So that's it?
The fact that we love each other means nothing?
- I do love you.
But maybe sometimes loving each other just isn't enough.
- [Narrator] But with Noah out of the picture,
Elle finally figures out what she wants.
- [Lee] She wants to do video game design.
- [Narrator] Elle and Noah are all grown up,
and it's been six years since they saw each other.
But the chemistry is still there.
- We should go for a ride together,
I mean, if you'd like that.
- I would like that.
It sounds fun.
- [Narrator] And go for a ride they do.
While we don't know exactly what their future holds,
it seems like these two are finally on the same path.
Well, road.
