[500] days of April

(spoilers from season 7, episode 8)

Hey everyone,

Since the beginning of this season, we can all agree that April wasn't the kind of character you like. But she is becoming more awesome in every episode ! So, for the first time, I wanted to read a fanfic about her. But what happened then ? Nothing ! Not one little fanfiction about April Kepner ! So I said to myself "you HAVE to make one, at least to save her honor". So I decide to write this.
I'm not much of a writer, and english isn't my mother tongue, but I hope at least it will encourage people to write fanfic about her :D

'Nuff said now, let's get down to it !


April was in the intern locker room, to check in which service she was for the month.

Ever since that … incident with Alex "the Greatest Bastard That Ever Lived" occurred, she had managed to avoid him. Hunt took her in his service for the end of the month, until they were reassigned. Jackson was kinder to her. Everyone was, actually. But still, she avoided him in the hallways. She didn't exactly know if he was avoiding her back, but she didn't care. At all.

Screw him.

Because, yes, she was used to shame and being joked about, because she was that weird girl nobody liked nor cared about, a 26 year-old virgin and everything, but THAT ? That was probably the worst moment of her life. And she had lived awful moments. Like that one in high school, when Artie Sullivan asked her out in front of the whole class, before rejecting her because she was dressed "like a bulgarian garbage woman". What did that even mean ?

So April wasn't ready to confront him just yet. He was mean. She got that he was an asshole, thank you. But he initiated the thing ! She didn't ask for anything ! Plus, how come a guy that was so, so sweet aroung kids, so clever too (that thing with the ping-pong ball, definitely impressive) could be such an insensitive asshole ? He knew she was a virgin ! Of course she didn't want to "screw" !

April sighted. There was no need to have a breakdown in front of everybody. She calmed down and approached the board with a tiny nod in the stomach.

Pediatric. Oh God, that really didn't smell good at all. Nervously, she checked out the name of the other intern she was with.

*Jackson ! Yeah ! *

That was relief. He was the closest thing to a friend she had there. He was nice. And incredibly hot, even if she didn't stand a chance.

- Hey hey hey ! What are you doing ?

While she was deep in her thoughts, fantasizing about Jackson in the shower - what ? She was a virgin, not a prude - a nurse had popped out of nowhere, and she had erased Jackson's name. She was writing an other name instead ...

- Your buddy Avery called sick. I was told to reassign Dr Karev in pediatric.

- You can't do that … No ! Please ! she started begging.

- That's not very nice … a familiar voice said, behind her shoulder.

April blushed heavily and turned around. Of course. He had to be there. She gave him what she hoped looked like a terrifying glare, and walked away with dignity. Well, Kepner-style dignity, at least. Okay, she ran out of the room, so what ?

One thing made her happy though : his stupid face still bear the bruises from his fight with Jackson.

- Suck it, loser … she mumbled once she got in the elevator.


So, I know nothing really exiting happened here, but I just wanted to do a simple, quiet beginning, to set the tone. Let me know what you think anyway !
