Every year whenever April 1st comes around, there is only one thing in my mind: the memory of possibly the cruelest April Fools joke ever played on somebody so many years (was it a lifetime?) ago. The memory involves a girl and a boy and their unspoken feelings for each other..and the girl deciding that she can no longer keep her feelings a secret so she blurted it out one morning, on the first day of April, telling the boy that she loves him. Moments later, she realized it was a mistake to expose herself like that. She felt vulnerable and scared, and her quick thinking saved her when she suddenly remembered what day it was, and exclaimed, "Happy April Fools!" The whole time, the boy was speechless, awestruck, and flabbergasted. Then he just walked away. Many years later, the girl was finally able to admit to him that on that day, too many Aprils ago, she was the real fool.
