Keeping 13

At school, Johnny talks with his teammates in the hallway about rugby. Bella Wilcox interrupts them, but Johnny repeatedly dismisses her. When she refuses to leave, Gibsie insults her relentlessly, and she angrily storms away. Johnny spots Shannon, but she turns away from him, so he chases after her.

When Shannon sees Johnny with his friends, she sees how happy he is and realizes that she only causes him trouble. Her anxiety gets the best of her, and she turns away, but Johnny catches up to her. She tries to explain to Johnny that she was leaving because she was afraid he might have changed his mind about her. However, Johnny insists that the incident with their parents had no impact on his feelings. He asks why Shannon didn’t answer the phone, and she tells him it died the first day and she didn’t have a charger. He gives Shannon a phone that he bought for her and, even though she says she can’t take it, he puts it in her bag.

The two kiss for several minutes in the hall as the bells ring and the students go to class. Johnny asks if they are now boyfriend and girlfriend, and Shannon agrees that they are.
