    Summary

    The Wesley twins are even more annoying and distracting here than they are everywhere else, so April is frustrated when she notes that they’re both competent dancers. She could even be convinced to say that the brunette one is good.

    Summary

    Outside of Instagram, though, Sterling hasn’t seen April in a year. Even then, they didn’t speak. She waved at April, actually, last year outside church on Christmas Eve. April just sort of furrowed her brow and turned away.

    Summary

    As they're coming to the end of their senior year at Willingham, Sterling and April have a rock-solid plan. They'll go to the prom together, they'll graduate, and once they're off to UGA, they won't have to hide anything anymore. But even the best-laid plans can be completely derailed in an instant.

    Summary

    It’s not until later Tuesday night, when April falls exhausted into bed with only four hours left until school starts, that she realizes this is the first election night in a dozen years where she hasn’t been scared of her father. She falls asleep without even looking at her phone.

    Then she wakes up.

    Last night, she had purposefully avoided looking at any national or statewide results. There was something insular and safe about being in that backyard, surrounded by a specific bubble of joy that April didn’t want to break with any outside information.

    April checks her news alerts, and breaks it.

    __

    Or, November 4-9, 2020 as experienced by one April Stevens.

    Summary

    “Besides,” April says, lowering her voice to a whisper, seemingly ignoring how Sterling is deeply unwell, “Twelfth Night has a delightful amount of lesbian subtext. It can be fully viewed as Olivia realizing why the only man she ever loved was not, in fact, a man, and what that implies about the constrictions of the era-”

    “I love you.”

    April’s eyebrows shoot to her forehead. Sterling could die. Maybe she will. Maybe the linoleum floor will swallow her up right now. Anything would be preferable to accidentally blurting out that she loves (loves?!) someone who she spent a week making out with over a year ago, and has only been on speaking terms with for the past two weeks.
