OMG THE OTHER SCHOOL INCIDENT NOW

Art-thusiast

If Sue ends ends up being the first person Lucy ends her friendship with, that would be tragically ironic considering she was one of the few characters that actually would’ve picked her over Mike

Rocky Wolfknight

I'm kinda worried of some PTSD happen at the other school and she beat down a student badly

Metal Raven

I mean… maybe it’s just me but it sounds like she tried starting over at that new school but her problems caught up with her 😭☹️

Firelilly027

I wonder if this about that person from her other school

Pel

Oh right! The NEW trauma you’re not telling anybody about!

Kuru

oh my god, she must have got expelled from the other school after something triggered her trauma and she beat the living daylights out of someone over it. I'm calling it now. I hope its not that bad.

Michelle M.

I want to give these girls a huge hug. I feel horrible for both of them. They’re both going to feel regret over how this conversation went, I bet.

SomeColourMage

so committed to vagueposting she's vagueposting in her own thoughts now

Snowstar837

Rocky I know you keep predicting Lucy getting violent on every page lately but it doesn't even much sense here. "You messed up HIS year" implies that HE got in trouble for something, that's the sort of language I often see used for if a guy is inappropriate and got in trouble because a girl reported it. In this case Lucy absolutely might have flipped out over something small/relatively innocent but it does not sound to me like an attack

Rocky Wolfknight

It be a complete irony and maybe will make her begin second guessing stuff

esinololly

Oh my god!!! Is this about the boy from the other school?? And those people saying that to Lucy were the girls in uniform at the lunch table from Victim Complex?????? OH NO LUUUCCCCYYYYY BABY NOOOOO

Rocky Wolfknight

I'm honestly scared if it got so bad she put them in the hospital

Antares

OhhhHHHH I knew the incident from her other school was getting folded into her perception of current events I am so so eager to learn more

Snowstar837

IDK why people keep assuming Lucy attacked this person violently, especially given her mom's comments? I usually hear "you messed up HIS year/future/opportunities" in relation to a guy being punished for being "inappropriate" with a girl, and being reported. Lucy could have still been in the wrong for whatever happened, like if she misinterpreted and flipped out, but it sounds more like an adult was involved (Lucy's mom said "you're not STILL upset about the boy at that school, are you?" after Lucy said "you've done enough already", implying Lucy's mom was somehow involved)

Sablix

this made me giggle. u right

This is something her family isn't aware of and maybe not even Augustus. It's the blank period trauma. If Mike was her "death" then this is the 6ft of dirt that buried her.

Michelle M.

Yeah I personally don’t think Lucy violently attacked someone, and never thought she would get violent with Sue. She had that one moment with Mike recently (that she immediately regretted) but she seems to have been trying really hard not to lash out like that anymore.

Snowstar837

Doesn't really match up with her conversation with her mom. Lucy said "you've done enough" to her mom who was thinking about taking action against Mike (calling his mom), and her mom *immediately* jumps to "you're not still angry about the boy at that school are you?". To me that implies that Lucy said something to her mom, and her mom got overprotective and reported the guy over a small incident, or something similar to that. How would her mom's comments make sense for an attack?

Antares

For real, she's been so much better about not lashing out physically ever since she came back from her long absence that it's kind of jarring how much everyone assumes she's always going to resort to violence. I have to assume that whatever happened at the other school mirrors what went down in the cafeteria during victim complex, and it's not like she laid hands on those boys either despite feeling unsafe. Assuming she put someone in the hospital with no basis for it is wild

Elizabeth Hunter

Yuuuup, new trauma at the private school knocked her old trauma loose, and coming back to Roseville was the thing that lit the fuse of this ticking time bomb. - Facing Mike again - Not wanting to alienate Mike from his friends, but not being willing to explain that to anyone - Augustus living in her house - The constant phone calls from Alejandro - The fact that none of her old friends seem to even remember the incident in the alley (even though they're probably just burying it like she is) Now she's a covered pot reaching boiling point; if someone doesn't get her to open up and vent a little of that pressure, she's going to blow. And to continue the pot analogy, it will be MESSY.

Elizabeth Hunter

This story is incredible, thank you V&O for continuing to give us more drama!

Fluffguff25

I'm a bit confused is this Sue talking to Lucy or is this Lucy's inner thoughts?

Fiver

Lucy baby please tell us you didn't go to another school, not tell anyone about the incidents at your previous school, get involved in triggered drama that really isn't your fault but also is a little because you could have handled it better by communicating, return to your old school, not tell anyone about the incidents at your now old school, and get involved in triggered drama that really isn't your fault but also is a little because you could have handled it better by communicating.

Fiver

Looks like inner thoughts of classmates from the school she went to for a semester

esinololly

Oh Lucy.... Something tells me that the boy from the other school tried to take advantage of her by trying to be her friend and make her "soft" towards him (I think this was mentioned in It's All in the Mind chapter???) and when Lucy's boundaries got challenged and pushed too hard for something she didn't want so she reported his behavior and he got expelled or something??? Maybe?? God I feel bad for Lucy. Please let her have One good year of highschool...

Antares

This exactly, there's so much stress and pressure coming at Lucy from every angle that is no wonder she's starting to break. It sucks for her and it sucks for all of her friends who don't understand the full scope of what's weighing on her and are only starting to see her efforts slipping. This chapter has been so good with its drama, absolutely breaking my heart

Rocky Wolfknight

Yeah I see what you mean. Everything is in the air of what's going to be shown. Was kinda holding my breath that she was going to react the same way with Sue like she did with Paulo or Mike in previous chapters

Antares

Inner thoughts for sure, we'll have to wait and see what the full context behind these lines is

Rocky Wolfknight

I really want to see what happen to Lucy side of her story when she moved away. I am sorry if I keep assuming stuff as it's not my intention to be against her, but there's stuff about her I don't agree with or approve, especially after how things went with line in the sand.

Rocky Wolfknight

I'm curious to see this come to light on what happens and how her mom likely got involved.

Krymz0nstreams

Her second guessing things would be a nice change of pace

Rocky Wolfknight

Wonder if it will influence her to go check on Mike.

Sky TheTiny'mhytee

God I relate too hard on Lucy with the private school stuff if it really went that bad with the "boy" at that school and then being scolded for actually speaking up because ahhhhhh ❤️‍🩹 :-: some of Lucy's past trauma and having to combat dealing with it absolutely hits me personally and hard because I know that all too well having autism (being diagnosed late at 25 as a girl so I was always an alien to everyone at school) I use to get taken advantage of so easy and so often. It takes lots of personal training and healing to not resort to the violence that you were exposed to, to others when it all bottles up so bad it explodes 💔❤️‍🩹you have to learn not to do what was done to you onto others and she has really grown but this page hits home so much man 💔❤️‍🩹 this is such a relatable and amazing story ❤️‍🩹💕 。:゚(。ノω\。)゚・。

tooie

Interesting how the "air" around her goes from nightmare-grey when remembering the incident and it's fallout to anger-red as it shifts to remembering people saying they wanted to be her friend before she "turned out to be such a psycho"

Metal Raven

Oh right! Lucy’s trauma, the trauma for Lucy… that trauma!…~

BadChemistry

I know we're meant to feel bad for Lucy, I get that - But at every. single. turn. she makes choices that directly or indirectly harm the people who actually give a damn about her. At this point, it's self harm - and maybe that is the narrative point about it. This is all to say I am not a Mike truther. I think they're both deeply unlikable characters. Sue might've been mean in the previous scenes, but honestly? Good. Someone needs to be mean back, at this point, because you can't keep acting out and expect people to tolerate you. Trauma doesn't give you an excuse to act out - It gives a reason, but not an excuse. And the adults in all this have failed these kids for real.

BadChemistry

I think it is either something like this or something like "Lucy got triggered, took something the wrong way/didn't handle it well, told her mom The Lucy Version of What Happened (which we now know Lucy's remembrance of other events is somewhat distorted), and then Lucy's mom demanded the school take action. Or, the opposite end, something -did- happen that was inappropriate or triggered Lucy, Lucy confided in her mom, and then instead of respecting Lucy's wishes to leave it alone, Lucy's mom went on a (understandable) warpath - Either way, it ended up with whoever 'he' (the other student(?)) is having 'his year really messed up'

Paprika

My theory is she got involved with a boy at her new school, her mom overreacted leading to SOMETHING that ruined his reputation and had everyone there turning on Lucy. Making Lucy choose to come back instead of staying

Elmanii

@Antares You're right! Have you ever seen those movies/shows that have a character who was once an addict? It reminds me of how even after that character does the work to get clean the other characters around them continue to lash out and bring up their past every chance they get. Treating them as if they're still or will become addicted to whatever negative habit they used to have again. I get the same vibes from the comments itching for Lucy to show her violent side. It's like they're waiting for an "Ah ha! See? I told you they hadn't really changed," kind of moment. Because they don't think Lucy is capable of change, so whenever something negative happens they're on the edge of their seats waiting for her to mess up again.

Rocky Wolfknight

It's not that I don't believe she has change or she will relapse, I don't trust her overall actions as of lately and how she's been presenting herself in these latest chapters.
