RickAstley: Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble, but all the characters are pretty much
straight except for Jessica and maybe David.
Jayfeather21: Jessica is indeed secretly interested in Lucy! Lucy's not aware of it, but in any case she'd prefer guys.
It's nice that Paulo and Jasmine can have an amicable farewell. Kind of a bittersweet moment for them, I'd say. Although in the last panel, I think Paulo's still waiting for Lucy to come to the party. Both he and Jessica will likely be disappointed in that regard, as I'd think the chapter would end with parting remarks between Lucy and Augustus.

I just dont like mike after he told her he hates her that was a bit much considering the almost drounding and rape and nere deth experience. I dont care if she is obsessive or needs him for a crutch she fuking love's him. What if sandy new about these events ive wondered for some time.
She does. He told her about Lucy sometime way back when (I'm sure Wacko knows the page number :3) and more recently when he went to her fashion show he told her about how he blew up at her.
Mike presumably did tell Sandy about his 'unfaithfulness' (i.e. Lucy) on panel 10 of
this page. (That particular page used to have additional comments by Taeshi, you can see them
here.) However, in "Just Beautiful", Mike never actually told Sandy about what happened in "December", other than the bit about
severing ties with Lucy. The thing is that Mike doesn't want to worry Sandy unnecessarily, so he tends not to tell her about certain events, or if he does, he omits the gory details. For example, Mike
repeatedly tried to make light of the fact that Lucy was hurting him.
Also, bluefox, just because Lucy tried to save Mike from drowning and stood up for him during "Confrontation" doesn't excuse her for her years of insulting and hitting Mike. The fact is that Lucy was generally not a very good friend to Mike, and a few incidents showing otherwise hardly makes up for the rest of it.
