Bringing Secrets To New York 5
"Can you grab the eggs?" Ally asks. Ally and Kaye are cooking in her kitchen.
"Sure." Kaye replies. She goes over to the fridge and grabs the carton of eggs and sets them on the counter. Ally grabs them and cracks three eggs in a bowl. "So what's with you and Austin? Do you two have a thing or something?"
"What? Austin and I? No we are just best friends. Nothing more." Ally laughs.
"Are you sure because you guys kind of act like a couple. It's so obvious that he likes you."
"Austin doesn't like me trust me." Ally finishes and puts the cookies on the pan and puts them in the oven. "Speaking of people liking me, Can I show you something? But you can't tell Austin I have it. He will freak on me."
"Sure." Kaye follows Ally to her room. Ally digs under her bed To grab the secret book. "What is that?"
"It's a book of secrets. I took it from my school. They won't notice it's gone. I hope anyways. There is multiple entries in here about me. I want to figure out who wrote this."
"How to you plan on doing this?"
"I don't know. But It would be great if someone else helped me. So, will you help me find this person. I feel like they still like me and I need to set them free. They are in my graduation class so I just have to narrow that down."
"Sure. I would love to. But how do we plan on doing that?"
"This." Ally digs under the bed again to grab another book. Fairly big. "It's the yearbook. It has my graduation class list in it." I hand it to Kaye to look at.
"Ally there are hundreds of people on here."
"I know that why I thought if I had another person to help me it would work just a little bit faster."
"Okay." Suddenly a beeping noise comes from the kitchen. "Looks like our cookies are finished." They both go to the kitchen and Ally puts in her over mitts and takes out the cookies. They wait for them to cool off and while that's happening Austin walks through the door. Ally notices both books on the counter so she quickly puts them under the couch.
"Smells good in here. Mmm, cookies." Austin goes to grab a cookie.
"Austin, they're..." Ally starts.
"Ow!" Austin screams.
"Hot." Ally finishes rolling her eyes.
"Why would you put hot cookies out in the open where I could eat them?" Austin jokingly asks.
"Because they were cooling off. They should be good by now. So why don't you go sit down on the couch and I will put the cookies on the coffee table." Ally says pushing Austin over to living room. Austin goes and sits down. Ally puts all of the cookies on a plate and sets them in front of Austin. "I'm going to go to the bathroom. Don't eat them all while I'm gone."
"I'm going to go grab the mail. I forgot to grab it this morning." Kaye says. She runs out of the apartment. Ally goes into the bathroom.
"Alone at last." Austin says rubbing his hands together. He grabs a cookie and sits back on the couch. Austin notices a discomfort with the couch. He bounces in the couch in spot and notices something rough under the couch cushion. He finishes his cookie and looks under the cushion. I grabs two books. "What is this?"
Austin's POV
I look under the couch and see something looking familiar. It's the yearbook. Why is our high school year book under the couch? But what is this other book? Why is the Book Of Secrets under here? I hear Ally come out of the bathroom and walks into the living room. "So, Austin did you like the cookies?" Ally asks fixing her hair then quickly notices what I am holding.
"Why is this here?" I hold up the book shaking it a bit. Ally looks shocked and speechless.
