“Yeah,” April wasn’t afraid to admit she hated being alone, so she also wasn’t against agreeing with what Maddie had said. Anyway if someone faulted her for hating it, that was their issue and not hers. She was confident in who she was, and frankly never paid much attention to what other people thought of her – because most times they thought she was crazy.
Changing to make someone else happy didn’t really seem right. Everything that people like Aunt Anna and Rae had told her seemed to point to the fact that you shouldn’t change yourself for another person, not matter the reason. “Maybe,” she began, shrugging slightly. “But if you’re changing for someone else, will the change actually stick?” Because what if the person didn’t really want to change? “I think you should want to change for yourself and not for other people.” That was just her opinion though.
April quirked and eyebrow and laughed. “Right, I’m still not on board with the whole ‘beating me’ thing,” she replied with a confident smirk. “Especially since you’ve never seen me play darts.”
It was her first day of standing in almost three weeks, so she was going to do as much of it as possible. Even if she kind of knew her arms were going to kill later, moving around on crutches was tiring – but she wasn’t complaining. “A memo was sent out, apparently you missed it,” she remarked, playing along with Maddie’s teasing instead of being bothered by it. When the other girl threw her dart, it was hard not to smirk slightly as it hit the wall instead of the target. “And apparently I’m not the only person who needs glasses.” April pointed out, the smirk still in place as she threw her next dart and it landed closer to the edge of the board than the bullseye.
