Good Girl Bad Girl (A Trevor Jackson Story)

24. April

I waited the whole day for April to come over to me ; since I heard the conversation with Luna, I knew I was going to get my friend back, and I was happy about it.
It was only at noon, when I was eating with Olivia and Eric - Diggy was (for once !) eating with Trevor, swearing to Olivia it will not happen all the time- that something happened.
I was sitting next to Eric, his arm around me while Olivia was looking at us.
"So...you guys are dating" she said.
"Yup" I smiled. "Isn't that great ?"
She smiled, but I could totally see it was fake. She was being polite because Eric was here, but once we'd be alone she'd start talking about I don't know what about the fact it's weird we are dating because blablabla.
"It is" she nodded.
She finished her lunch and spoke up :

"So, what are you guys gonna do today...? To see if I can hang out with-"
"You can hang out with your boyfriend today" I playfully rolled my eyes.
"I was gonna say you, but alright" she shrugged as we laughed.
And then April finally arrived.
"Hey..." she trailed off with a shy smile.
We all looked up at her.
"Hey" I replied.
"Um, Maddie, can I speak to you for a second ?" she asked, awkward.
"Sure..." I politely answered.

I got up and followed her, going further away from anyone. She looked at me, in the eyes. It's been so long since she didn't do this. I miss her.
"Hey, I know you're probably not gonna forgive me as easily as I wished you would, but I wanted to tell you that I'm truly sorry. For how I reacted, for what I've done. I guess I was a bit jealous because you are amazing, you really are. I'm not sayin' this to be an ass licker and get forgived, I'm sayin' it because I really think that way. I'm sorry that I have slapped you, I hope I didn't hurt you so bad."
The last part made me chuckle.
"I'm really sorry, I don't even like Trevor. I don't know what happened between you two - I decided to not believe all the rumors going on, 'cause I'm almost sure they ain't true - but I am sure aware of the fact that he is a jerk. I knew it already, I just wanted a guy, and he was, you know, he was cute... And just so you know, I planned to do this before something happened between you two. I know it's hard to believe for you, but I was gonna apologize before you get in a fight with him. I understand if you don't want to forgive me, but I hope you will."
I smiled, simply.
"April...you're my best friend with Olivia. Of course I forgive you."
She smiled, really wide ; I could see it was real. She hugged me, tight. And the feeling of sadness and emptiness that was here since our fight finally left.
