April lives in her own little bubble, no-one bothers her and she's okay with that.  I mean, you'd prefer to be left alone then be constantly bombarded with insults and stupid comments right?  Except recently, Mitch and Ky have started paying her attention at school, but with reputations like theirs they can't have good intentions... right?  They probably just want to use her and then just move on... right?  The idea of it horrifies April, but the idea of a boyfriend to her is even worse.  She doesn't need it right now.  With her brother seriously ill in hospital, her Mum almost always in hibernation and her Dad in prison, she doesn't really have anyone there for her.  Unless of course, her Dad came out of prison to finish what he'd started...  But will April let anyone close to her? Everyone else she ever held close is far away, even her brother is constantly stuck in hospital now.  Will she ever let anyone else in?  Once you start poking a bubble, it's not long before it pops.All Rights Reserved
