Found Secrets, Unknown Love

The Time of Our Lives: 1

"Come on Billie Joe, we need to finish writing this song!" Mike Dirnt yells picking up his bass guitar, Trè Cool follows behind him as they walk through their bedrooms to the living room. Billie Joe is on the couch poking Bay constantly on her face while his guitar is on his lap, "I'm coming" he says laughing, Trè walks up to Bay and sits on her lap, "Hello there B number two, we need our B number one to help us finish" Bay ruffles Trè's hair, a smile on her face, "Fine, you can have him. Have fun guys" she said standing up and walking out the room.

Bay, their best friend had agreed to let the boys live at her place since they dropped out of high school. All are 18 years old and the boys decided to be in a punk rock band at 15- education got in the way, so all the boys dropped a few months before the last day of school, Bay is an honor student that graduated earlier than the rest of her class, deciding to hold off college for a few years. Bay met the boys in their freshman year, she may have been a girl with great intelligence, but she is a true punk rock lover- her style includes converse, dark jeans and shirts and plaid, her black dyed hair is constantly in a ponytail with her swift bangs covering the right side of her hazel eye.

The boys practice for at least a half hour before they decided to take a break, Mike sits on the couch to accidentally sit on a hard object. He pulls out the object- a journal, "What's that?" Billie asks, "Looks like a journal" Mike says looking at the handwriting:
My Book: Not for IDIOTS

Trè laughs as he takes the book out of Mike's hand, he opens the book
Pg. 1:
"The more I open my heart, I get scared to get hurt, when I close myself off from the world, I feel safe... with you around, you become my safety net and replace hiding away your smile instantly puts a smile on my face..."

The boys look at each other in awe, this is the first time they actually read something about a insecure person.

"Who wrote it?" Billie asks grabbing the book, "I don't know, it might be Bay's, if it is, then she's in love with someone." "Well let's find out" Trè says about to grab the book, Billie pushes Trè's hand away "No dude, it's Bay's book. She'd kill us" "She's always been the quiet one, it be nice to know what she is thinking" Mike says standing up, Billie looks down at the small black book, he always wanted to know what Bay had been thinking since they are kind of similar, "Dude, what if it's one of us?" Trè asks shockingly, "Well if it's one of us, and we ask her who's her crush, she's not gonna answer" Mike says "We should find out ourselves" Trè comments, "How?" Billie asks, Trè answers, "Each of us for the next week or so will each try to spend alone time with her. We try and put subtle moves on her- holding hands, longer hugs, kisses on her cheek, and maybe we could get her to say something that proves that she might have a crush on one of us" Bike scratches his head, "I don't know. It seems wrong, and how would we know of she's not just being nice?" "Come on Billie" Trè says sitting up, "You read it, someone makes her smile when they smile" "We all make her smile already" Mike cuts in, "Come on, we should at least try" Trè says. The boys look at each other, then at Trè. "Fine. We'll try" Billie agrees, "Alright, we'll start whenever Bay's by herself. Who wants to be the first to start?" Trè asks, "I'll do it" Mike says, "I'll try tonight after dinner" "Ok. Let's do this..." Trè says with a smile on his face.
