Well, there really is no amazing backstory this this one.. As you all know, Bril and Aprendo have always been two of my favorite ships. And I was talking with Ingrid the other day when we went through some stories and we realized that there are close to no stories that have a BuddyxAprilxFernando love triangle. So, *drum roll* Ingrid and I present to you.. Lips of an Angel: A Brilprendo story.
Warning: This story is an enormous change of pace from what I usually write for. It will later deal with some more serious subjects, including eating disorders, mental illnesses (I.E. Bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and panic disorder), religion and beliefs, affairs, ect., ect. Each character and their relationships with each other will be different since this story is pulling together so many people at once.
In all honesty, Fernando Drilovsky couldn't stand April Dickson. He found everything about her utterly despicable. Of course, he valued other people's opinions of him far too much to discuss his particular distaste of the blonde wild child in public. He was a nice guy, and he preferred to keep it that way. But something about that girl drove him insane, everything she did found a way to get under his skin.
Particularly so that she roped his own little sister into her gang of hooligans which he presumed caused havoc in the small town much too late at night (Even though they most likely did nothing of the sort, he would do anything to help with his point that Kami should be getting nowhere near her.)
Fernando wasn't really one to judge on first impressions of people- Which was evident with his judging of April, herself. On the surface, she looked like an absolute angel. Her blonde hair reached down to her waist (Though the tips were always dyed some other color), her big blue eyes gave her an innocent "deer-in-the-headlights" appearance, and her rosy cheeks and height of only 5'1 didn't give her any advantage in looking deadly. The people she immersed herself with looked nothing like the rag-tag group of rascals you'd typically picture making messes here and there and everywhere. They were missing the black clothes, motorcycles, tattoos and piercings.
The thing about April was that she offered no happy-medium. You either loved her or hated her- and the line was very clear. There were very few people outside of her little "clique" that loved her- save a few. Most people hated her, and were vocal about it. There was almost always some kind of rumor going about her. So far, she was bisexual, she cut herself, she had bulimia, she was screwing the history teacher, she smoked weed, and the list went on.
April made an impression and a poor impression at that. Despite the constant circle of rumors, there were the solid facts. April was sent away to live with her Jewish Fraenka (Aunt) in Iceland the summer after the eighth grade, and she looked perfectly like a girl who walked straight out of an American Eagle catalog. She came back midway through freshman year with triple ear piercings, a bellybutton ring, a mouth like a sailor and bright pink tips of her hair. (With her return also came the gossip that was inevitable with April- She lost her virginity to a junior after lying and saying she was a sophomore, then all his buddies hooked her up with drugs and now she was a stoner.)
Her little clique (Which had dispersed after her departure) reformed itself again with the presence of their ringleader- Who had plenty of stories to tell. They'd never tire of hearing them, especially since April put a new spin on them every time she told them. Sometimes at dinner, Kami would be reminded of something April said and would retell it to the families eagerly listening ears. Fernando's family didn't mind April the way he did, they couldn't see through her misunderstood, unloved child act.
This, by default, often meant that April spent long periods of time in the Drilovsky house. After each visit, Fernando would confront Kami and ask her when she was going to realize that April was a bad influence over her, and that she would be much better off without her. Kami would retort with the fact that the year Fernando was held back, April passed their Science class with a higher grade than him, and that when he asked her out, she turned him down. This, of course, had nothing to do with his opinions of April- Which was based around true, stable and proven facts. Fernando said she shouldn't let April control her. Kami said the Underdogs were not led or controlled by April- but by the group entirely. Fernando said it was a clever decoy. Kami said he needed to lighten up and live a little. Fernando was sure this was one of April's mottos.
In that same small town, merely one road down from the house where one boy was fuming over the existence of a girl- Another boy was praising it. His name was Buddy Utsukushii- and he had been chasing after April since they were in the second grade and she moved to Virginia from Iceland. She spoke with an accent, and was louder than anyone he had ever met before. That day at recess she sat alone under a big oak tree, observing everyone else playing. Buddy's best friend Noah rounded up a few others (Which included Kami Drilovsky, Rose Heart, Mark Drilovsky, Riley Berenson, Ana Greene and Buddy himself) and marched them over to the new girl to say hello.
After talking the entire recess with her, when the group got home that night they began to call each other with the same question. "What do you think about her?" Kami called everyone and asked them if they allowed her to be their friend or not, and took a formal tally which she would share the next morning. And indeed, when looking upon it the vote was set- majority ruling. Everyone voted to invite the girl in, except for Mark and Rose (Both of whom denied change notoriously- and would continue to do so throughout the rest of their lives.)
April and Buddy, however because the best of friends very quickly. Buddy helped April with her math homework and April taught Buddy sentences in Icelandic upon request. When Buddy got into the EXCEL program in school- which was only for the smartest kids- April was the only one who congratulated him instead of sulking because he was the only one out of their little group to make it in. Buddy was the only one who cried for April when her cousin was in a car crash- even though he didn't know him- and continued to cry with her in the days preceding his much too early funeral. Buddy assured her that she looked beautiful no matter what colors were in her hair, and April made sure Buddy knew he was much cooler than the guys who made fun of him.
In his opinion, April was an all-around lovely girl. However, Buddy was quite inept to all kinds of affection from the girl, and rejected her daily without even knowing she was flirting with him. He was oblivious to any girl besides the even bolder, braver, blonder Noah Heart- and as far as he was concerned, the girl of his dreams. It wasn't until very much later (When April had already moved on to her next target- Declan Pooler, AKA the only popular guy who didn't hate her with a passion) that Buddy realized his growing admiration for April. And whether he liked it or not- despite the great importance he was in April's life, she would never view him as a romantic interest in fear of being hurt by him. He would remain off April's dating radar until a little bit later.
Along with the guys who will play a pivotal role in the remainder of this documentary, were the girls. Noah, April and Kami were all three blonde, all three beautiful, none particularly stupid, but none incredibly genius-like. All three members of the Underdogs (The story of which was simple- They were simply group of people who weren't rich or popular, commonly called underdogs by people who hated them. They were known for acts of rebellion- in there terms, liberality- and the term Underdogs was adapted by the common public, and eventually by the group themselves. What was once a joke about them became one of their many virtues.)
Kami was the loveliest girl anyone had ever met, hands down. Almost everyone who met her questioned why she hung out with the Underdogs in the first place. She was the peacemaker in the group (Specifically between April and Noah) and hated conflict and confrontation. She also hated to be in the spotlight of things- which was one of the many things she loved about her friends. They all found ways to speak her mind without placing themselves in front of everyone and yelling it out. She was a dainty, well-mannered girl aside of everything else- and liked to be friends with everyone and was loyal to everyone. She wasn't as standoffish as the other girls, and shyed away from attention but was by no means a plain girl.
Noah was as close to perfection as you could get- according to many. She was also a devil in disguise according to everyone else. Her existence was as questionable as April's, and her opinions brought up the same controversy. However, all the blame and fault seemed to find its way back to April who would take the blow. Noah's long blonde hair and charming blue eyes could draw in any guy she wanted, the real question was whether or not she wanted them. That was her behalf on joining with the Underdogs. She had big opinions and a bigger mouth to go with them- and didn't want to be another pretty face lost in the crowd. Figuring it her only way to make a name for herself, she jumped on the bandwagon and was the unofficial leader of the Underdogs.
That was, of course, until April made her reappearance to America, making a bigger statement than ever. Soon enough, she was a magnet for attention and became the poster child of the Underdogs. This term was taken literally after an anonymous member of art club began making posters and placing them all over the school- April and Riley's silhouettes obvious on the sheets of paper. It was adorned with a fragment of their motto- The Underdogs Choose You. It was adapted by the group after overwhelming amounts of people wanted to join up with the group. April and Riley were both very different than the rest of the Underdogs-April was hated by her family, and Riley lost the majority of his. They were the two people who needed each other. Despite what everyone else said about her, April was one of the most down-to-earth people there was. She liked attention, but didn't feed on drama. She expressed her opinions, but didn't put down people with different ones. The majority of rumors were incredibly false- she had never smoked weed in her life, and she was still a virgin. She had gone after Buddy's heart for the longest time, and eventually gave up after realizing that no matter how much she liked him- she didn't want to be his second choice (Next to Noah). She loved Noah to death, but hated how everything was handed to her on a silver platter.
As you can see, they aren't your typical group of people. But then again, this isn't your typical story. By now you're probably wondering who I am. Well, I'm someone close enough- but you'd never guess. Maybe I'll reveal myself. Maybe not. Ta-ta for now losers!
Sooo, I hope you all liked it! It was only an introduction kind of thing, but I thought it was good! Review?
Xx, April(:
