in which the sunshine girl of derry
offers six boys and one girl a friendship bracelet each,
ending up in a mess of a friendship and summer of...
APRIL ENTERS HER HOUSE with a smile, a cheeky one that caused her eyes to crinkle and the corners of her lips curled up. Looking back once more before she shuts the front door shut and waving lightly at Bill, him returning the gesture with the same smile before biking off. She wouldn't be able to shake the feeling she got in her stomach at the sight of it for the rest of this night, it was fluttery and made her giggle.
Gently closing the door and being sure to lock it, she scrapes the bottom of her shoes against the mat before leaning down at untying the neatly tied laces, slipping one shoe at a time off, picking them up and dropping them onto the shoe and rack and exiting the foyer.
"Oh, good, you're back!" She hears a voice, instantly recognizing it as her mom, rushing from the kitchen with a mug in her hand and hair poking around her knit cardigan. "What happened? What did you do? Did you have fun? That Bill, he seems like a nice boy, letting you ride on the back of his bike like that," She babbles as she sits herself down on the living room couch and beckons her daughter over.
Scoffing lightly in amusement at her moms excitement, April walks into the living room while brushing her bangs out with her fingers casually, tired from the activities and more wanting to go lay down but nonetheless sits herself down on the couch next to her mom, her eyes twinkling still from Bill's acceptance of her bracelet.
"Well?" Her mom asks excitedly, patting her hands against her daughters thighs in a rhythmic beat.
Shaking her head, a smile on her face, April shrugs first — growing worry in her stomach because she knew she'd have to tell her mom a lie. "It was amazing," She begins, which was true, it was.
She couldn't tell her mom what they did at the Barrens — she was a terrible liar but that didn't mean... Never mind that, April was also terrible at twisting the truth. "We biked around town and... And, went to the park! Played games... Like, hide-and-seek," She stumbles over her words repeatedly, using large hand gestures as she attempts to prevent her foot from twitching, a common tic she had when nervous.
"How were they! Were they nice? That Bill boy, he's handsome," Her mom went on with a smirk, her excitement blinding her from her daughters terrible attempt of lying.
If there was anything someone should know about Josephine Ambrose is that she was there to support her daughters through all that made them happy and in all honesty, April has always been happy but ——she's never glowed the way she was now. It was peculiar, she thought. The way that April was gleaming now, she's never seen it before.
