Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Awww..Lucy seems pretty happy about what happened...can't wait for Mike to fricken ruin it :|

Oh no :( she's happy, and now shits gonna go downhill.

Awww, this is such an adorable moment. Good to see Lucy all happy and laughing with her friends.

......he’s going to come to school and be back together with Sandy

The fact it didn’t go to Mike’s call…I’m worried he is all “I took her back, she said she’s sorry” but I hope it’s just the tension between them all to Mike after how he had acted before and Mike saying what she did to him

Why do I feel like that smile isn’t gonna last long :(

So she really wasn't over Mike? That was a hell of a front she was putting up before, then! Obviously the front was necessary but still

Next page, mike walks in looking the most miserable he's ever been

This is the cutest page we’ve had in a minute…means there’s a fire coming huh😫

Okay despite me being worried about why she's smiling, cause I don't want her happiness to be ripped away from her of course. But the fact she acknowledged she isn't normally a smiler ND is having banter with her friends makes me so happy

😬

He better not ruin it. We all know why Lucy is super happy today and he seriously needs to protect that smile.

Hopefully Mike did some protecting of his sanity then, not just will protect her smile. Worried about him too, not just Lucy. Though she is our fragile relateable baby, Mike is two of those things too, at least.

Hey, maybe the two phone-y boneheads worked out maybe a polyamory arrangement! We can hope for the sake of pleasenter, wackier drama... but this IS BITTERsweet candybowl....

I know I had strong feelings when I was in middle school for December, but man I think Mike's suffered enough himself by now.

Wait, I just realized, Lucy's hair/fur on the sides of her head are different. Lol wut?

Maybe because the wind aren't ruffling through them? :O Otherwise they look the same in previous chapters

Yeah that makes sense, I guess I just hadn't noticed this whole time.

I love lucy so much seeing her smile like that 🥺🥺🥺

oh no they're all so cute... I love this scene, I'm just gonna try to enjoy it for what it is before the rest of the chapter continues 😭

I'm just trying to figure out which flame is the eternal one.

Maybe it's Lucy's flame for Mike!

Oh!

Mike's Eternal Flame of stupidity

This made me laugh during a meeting 🤣

No : (

I'm nauseous from this roller coaster ride

Make it stop 😭

I'm hoping eternal flame means the love between Lucy and Mike, but the jump between the last page to this may mean Mike answered and sandy apologized enough for him to take her back....

We don't know that. Let's just HOPE that's not the case.

Also if Mike does come back without having answered Sandy's call, how is Paulo going to feel if these two start actually dating or something? Lucy litterally turned him down by saying she likes him but needs to work on herself.

Exactly, that and her 'I shouldn’t be with anyone right now‘ /cries

Oh wow, tomorrow came sooner than I thought it would

…This leaves me concerned with how the rest of this chapter will unfold

He had better not hurt her again, I swear ;~;

OHNO

I have a bad feeling about this, scoob

Since the browser tab icon is Mike's scarf and Lucy's bow I'm gonna assume that this chapter ends well.... really hoping so :)))

I just feel bad bad vibes coming. I hope Lucy ends up coming out alright after all this.

Trying to remain tentatively optimistic, but i am a little nervous seeing lucy feeling so well... it could end badly for her ,,, eep !

T-T !!! Noooo. The switch to this scene feels like drama building toward her happiness being short lived once Mike shows up and we find out what happened with him and the phone call. I hope its not true. I hope ... Mike is absent today! Stay home! You're not feeling well.... think it over.

I mean, they didn't run into each other on the way to school which could've been easily orchestrated by either one. Maybe he WILL stay home!

Welp, Lucy brought this on herself. Told him to go home and sort himself out. Shoulda put a ring on it.

:‘)

Love the Paulo, Daisy and Lucy friendship.

I really hope she is smiling because of closure that transition doesn't boad well with my nerves

wow what nice scene sure am glad nothing bad can happen after this!

to the author: i'm sending you my therapy bill over this cliffhanger

That cliffhanger feels illegal

I feel you. Anxiety is back in action!

My stomach flipped omg. I think we need a class action lawsuit for this cliffhanger

Oh dear...

Man just as soon as the ship sails again it looks like its gonna sink again too

waiting for shit to hit the fan (,:

oh no baby ; n ;

Lucy: Today is gonna be a great day!

Mike: Hey Lucy, I got great news, me and Sandy are back together again!

Lucy: ……….Today is gonna be a great day! (starts crying)

Everything is going too well, I feel fear.

Actually even if Mike grew a spine and broke up with Sandy (which ain't likely), they still wouldn't be out of the woods! Not only are Paulo, Daisy and Sue peeved with Mike, they know he's been going back and forth between the girls!

Lucy always 2nd choice to Mike.

I’ve been reading this since elementary school and I’m almost 21 now… this comic is responsibly my anxiety :-,)

ive always known that mikeXlucy was most likely endgame, but it still feels wrong to me. if this is the way theyre going it HAS to be handled better than "we yelled and then we kissed" cause that was their dynamic BEFORE and we all know that it led to the events in and after "december"

The fact that we skipt over the scene showing weather or not he picked but says it all. So help me if he agreed to go back to being wrapped around her finger after all of that I'm going to find a way to reach through the screen and strangle a fictional cat.
