Sigh. It’s her choice and was, kind of, handled the mature way. I really, really, really hope this is the end of this but from past experience I feel like it’s not.

Another thing I’m irked about is Mike’s hyper selfishness and his lack of empathy.
I know Mike’s a teenager and they tend to be selfish but he’s just takes it way overboard. Everything regarding Lucy know is about him, and nothing regarding Lucy or her feelings or what she went through.
Even if Mike thought what he said go Lucy was okay, where is the empathy over what happened to her months ago? How maybe she might feel awkward and might still be feeling horrible . But no, it’s all about poor Mike’s feelings.

I’m sure Lucy has matured enough to not beat his *** at dodgeball out of spite. That said, I lowkey wish she did.
As for Mike, contrary to the most common opinion, I think he DOES feel guilty for what he did. So guilty, in fact, that he is expecting horrible, horrible revenge and he is afraid because on some level he feels like he deserves it, or that others will think he does. He is still victimizing himself unnecessarily, though.

Hey, Mike looks slighty jealous on that last panel, doesn’t him? I mean, if he does feel as the perfect nice guy, wouldn’t his ego be hurt that “the mean and spiteful” Lucy was choosen OVER him? Also, Lucy doesn’t look amused.
That said, maybe Sue called Lucy as her third team mate: she would choose Amaya first, and Daisy is happy that Lucy is on her team. Is interesting the friendship dynamic, but maybe I’m reading to much into the comic.
Loving the comic as always~ <3
