Hey everyone,
Great news! April and I made up. That is, we’re friends again. Maybe not best friends like before, but good friends. And I couldn’t be happier.
It all started when I was on my way to see Sparky at the Curio Shop. I was walking past the park when I heard someone crying. Normally I would be too shy to go and find out who it was, but this time…something made me investigate.
When I walked into the park, I saw April sitting at the picnic table, sobbing. I asked her what was wrong and she seemed shocked to see me. She tried to brush away her tears and say “nothing”, but I told her she couldn’t fool me.
She hesitated for a minute, but then finally blurted out, “I miss Kinzville SO much! And I miss YOU, Alex!”
I was REALLY surprised to hear that.
I sat down and we talked for about two hours. It turns out that things haven’t been so great at her new school. Even though her emails to me made things sound awesome, they’re really not. And when she was texting her ‘best friend’? Yeah. She wasn’t texting anyone at all.
Apparently the kids at her new school think she’s really weird and loud and that she doesn’t fit in. That’s why she wanted to get new clothes and that’s why she was acting the way she was; she wanted to practice being like the other kids. I told her that it’s the other kids who have the problem, not her. I also asked if she had joined any clubs, or tried to meet any of the kids in her neighborhood. She said no, she didn’t want to be made fun of any more.
So my advice to her was to talk to her parents, try to join a club, and try to meet the kids who live next door to her. I reminded her that we became friends when she jumped into my yard.
She apologized for being so awful, and asked if we could please go to the Curio Shop and then for ice cream. She said she’s missed La Soufflé’s banana ice cream parfait almost as much as me.
So that’s what we did. It was so nice, just to hang out with the REAL April again. My real, true friend.
It’s a good thing you went to see if you could help, otherwise, you’d of never of found out what was bothing April and your friendship would of floundered. Good job. Happy Thanksgiving everyone jennifer
this story TOTALLY rocks, because this story has a meaning and pr-oblem.
Yeah Alex! you got reunited with April
HI,SPARKY MAYBE YOU AND YOUR PARENTS CAN GO TO APRIL’S PLACE FORFOUR WEEKS TO HELP HER GET STARTED,GETTING INTO A GOOD CLUB ETC. THEN SHE WOULD’NT BE SO UPSET. HOPE THIS SUGGESTION HELPS. HERE’S A BIG HUG FOR YOU AND APRIL.
I thought the tiger’s name was Alex… Sparky is the dog that works in the curio shop with his uncle
AWWWWWW!!!! I`m so happy for you 2!!!
oh, what an awwww moment
the actually happened to me one time. the kids at my new school never talked to me and even threw food at me because they thought i was weird. but i realized that if you smile through it all, they realize “hey, she’s tough” and they accept you for who you are!! good job on making up guys!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Alex and April so glad everything is back the way it should be! :)
Well, it sounds like the other kids have a problem, not April, but because of their problems, she got problems. Good job, Tiger guy. Actually, I didn’t know that the curio shop sold ice cream.
I agree Chao. It’s the others kids’ problem, but they are making it her problem. Kids can be mean, I know. Maybe Alex could go visit her and help her meet other kids who will like her for who she is, the way he does. Who knows, once the kids from her school see her with Alex, they might change their minds and want to be her friend too. Alex, you have to go visit her and help her out! ~DP
@Chao, I agree. The other kids have the problem, but now April has a problem too. At least Alex helped fix things for her! You’re a wonderful friend Alex! ~CC~
Actually the Curio doesn’t sell ice cream. If you read it says they went to the Curio Shop and THEN for ice cream.
Good for you Alex!!- RainingSt@rz
So happy to hear that you and April got back together again, Alex! Friends can fight like that sometimes. I mean, I once got in a fight that’s similar to what happened to you and April, but we make up again as friends. ;) Friends fight, it’s OK. And I hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving. ;) ✖Chicago Made✖
I’m glad for you Alex. I think you and April may not be as close as before, but much closer than the last time you were together! ♥
