That’s how Andy sold it to me.
He had a big road trip as his team prepared for the playoffs.
They were the second best team in the league.
That meant it was now my job to greet April and thenmaybehelp her find a place to live while she did her work.
That was the only part that mattered to me.
She’s not staying long.
I had my lasting impressions of April.
Right down to the last time I saw her.
When I caught her crying her eyes out, leaning against an old tree, arms folded, wearing a blue sundress.
Her blonde hair messy, with butterfly clips on the sides and top.
Her lips dry and chapped.
Her braces were forever too big for her mouth.
She had bright blue eyes.
When I asked her what was wrong -my need to protect her kicking in like it always did -she told me nothing was wrong.
That was April.
She never answered on the first try.
You had to poke at her and piss her off, which I was really good at doing.
I actually literally poked her that day.
Tickling her until she screamed and tried to punch me.
That ended up catching me off guard for a moment.
“Who hurt you, April?” I finally whispered.
That was when she pointed at me. “You did, Sebby. You hurt me.”
She turned and ran off after that.
It was the last time I saw her.
Her knotty blonde hair dancing behind her.
Her dress jumping all around.
Not to mention she wore big shoes too.
Basketball shoes. Skater shoes.
That was her thing.
With sundresses.
