BILLIE JOE's POV

April 4th, 1986 7:21 AM

Only 8 minutes before I have to leave for school. I glance down at the pink (yes, pink) piece of stationary paper, that Anna let me use, to write this note for Mike.

I remember Anna catching me in her room, looking for paper to write on. For all the god damn times to run out of paper in the house...Jeez...

(FLASHBACK)
"What're you doin' in my room, twerp?" she said.
"Um...I-I'm looking for, uh...paper." I stumbled out as she walked in. 'This was a baaaaad idea. She hates it when anyone goes in her room. She thinks I'll "infect" it. Pssh. Yeah right. Why doesn't she get a life?' I think to myself.
"Whyddya need paper?" Anna asks, placing ehr hands on her hips and tapping her foot impatiently.
I hesitate for a minute.
"Well, why do you need to know?" I retaliate, y body frozen but my eyes still scanning to room for something to write on. You know, why the hell didn't we have anything in the house?
"Lemme guess...." she pondered, looking at me quizzically, as if she could read my mind.
Oh, shit.
"Bill...are you writing a loooove letter?" she asks, clearly knowing that she's guessed it.
Fuck. When the hell did she get so smart?
"U-um, well I kinda...I...yeah." I stutter, looking nervously at the floor.
I look up at my sister. Her previous 'I'm Pissed At You, You Wanna Mess?' look had completely disappeared from her face and was replaced by a new, equally-frightening "OH MY GOD MY BROTHERS IN LOVE!" expression.
I swallowe hard as she ran over to me and squealed.
"WHO IS IT?! DO I KNOW THEM? OH MY GOD!" she said all at once.
I just stared at her blankly. She is so friggin weird sometimes. Girls are confusing. One minute they hate you and the next they wanna know all about you. Man...am I so glad I'm in love with a dude.
"Um...no. You don't know them. Now can I PLEASE have paper now?" I asked, hoping she didnt pick up on my lie. She so knew Mike. And I couldn't trust her with that. I couldn't trust ANYONE.
So anyway, that little show ended with Anna practically sprinting for her dresser where she gave me this piece of stupid pink paper.
"Now you'll tell me what she says, right? Promise?" my sister asked me, a gleam of hope in her eyes.
Ha. A she. If only Anna knew...
"I can't promise ya anything" I reply with a mischievous grin as I strode out of her room.
(END FLASHBACK)

7:25 AM the clock blinks.

I should go I think as I grab my backpack, hastily shove the note in one of its many pockets and walked out the front door.

My stomach turned as I imagined what Mike would say to me. would he think I was a freak when I told him I loved him? Would he love me back? Hell...would he even take me seriously?

I'd have to wait and see.
