Author commentary

Veronica: Oh, right.. the prom is actually going on right now. You know the prom Daisy was advertising back in “Prom Preparation”? Yeah, that one. Guess all of Daisy’s attempts to get Mike to go with her failed, as well as everyone else who tried! Lucy wins again!!!!!!

I think there was a dance I was meant to go to once in middle school, I went there for a few minutes and then promptly left because I felt embarrassed. Turned out there was a ceremony celebrating me winning some award and they were gonna offer me a rose? I missed out!! And I was made to feel very bad about it the next day! Nobody told me!!! I was a lonely kid who couldn’t find any friends so I chose to go back home and play Super Mario RPG!

And honestly, I had a funner time playing that!

Anyway, enough of my embarrassing escapades. Lucy wouldn’t have felt embarrassed if she was in my shoes >8(

Yes, I feel bad for her. But it’s not like she couldn’t have made other friends.

Well, some people just don’t connect to their peers easily. Some people don’t have compatible personalities, Lucy just is the sort of person ya gotta know for a while to fully appreciate. She doesn’t have the courage to put herself out there to make friends, and stick with them long enough for them to understand.

I’ve seen the like…
