April Socializes Only With Couples

April’s 15th birthday party last year, had 3 couples, one of which has never been seen since. Then the 16th birthday party only had the 2 primary couples. Considering Luis Guzmán has been introduced as a part of the band, the only reason I can figure for his exclusion is the fact he doesn’t have a girlfriend. April’s March monthly letter, indicated Luis had an unnamed girlfriend, but she has never been seen in the strip. I think if Luis had a girlfriend, he would have been there with the rest of the band at April’s birthday party. Since he was not there, my guess is that Luis does not actually have a girlfriend. I had created Alto Escurrido (Tall Skinny in Spanish), as a girlfriend for Luis to match the monthly letter. As of April’s birthday, I no longer believe Luis has a girlfriend, and April’s new glamourous look was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her, since I can use our old running plotline of the Patterson allure as the culprit.

When I think about it, April used to socialize exclusively with Becky, Gerald, and Duncan. At some point, Lynn must have planned to introduce the idea that they had all coupled off when they were old enough, but then she realized Duncan and Becky together wouldn’t work for her. An elaborate storyline later, and now Eva has filled Becky’s spot.
