<br />
* '''Talking Marriage''': Lucy asks Mike if he'd consider marrying her.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p30}}</ref><ref group="note">This scene is extremely tricky to place. Here are the assumptions I'm working on.<br /><br />1. This is after Sandy left. They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''Paulo moves to Roseville''': He joins Lucy's 5th grade class partway through the year. Daisy offers to help him. He has a crush on Lucy, but he doesn't know how to approach her.

==== December ====<br />
<br />
* '''Paulo's little sister is born''': Paulo's ha.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p23}}</ref><ref group="note">Paulo estimates his sister to be six or seven on New Year's Eve, 2008. This places her at six. I've gone for the earlier side of the window because it seems Paulo moved to Roseville shortly after his his parents divorce and there needs to be time for a pregnancy Paulo didn't know about.</ref><br />
=== 2003 ===<br />

<br />
* '''January 4:''' Sue turns 11.<br />

This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school.

* '''October 15:''' [[Casting Call]]: Sue finishes the manuscript for her play. She encourages all her friends to try out as secretly she wrote the play as a mechanism to save Mike and Lucy's friendship. Mike gives a less-than stellar audition, but she casts him as the lead. As auditions wind down, Sue becomes panicked as Lucy hasn't shown up. She runs through the halls and finds her making faces at Paulo in detention.

She decides to weaponize the reputation Tess gave her against her by sleeping with Paulo. She takes him him to a 21+ club where they get tipsy and hook up in the bathroom, losing their virginities to each other. Afterwards, she makes him feel inexperienced while secretly feeling dirty herself. She suggests he ask Rachel out as she has a crush on her.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c54/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c61/p37}}</ref><ref group="note">It occurs after "Casting Call", which I've placed on the earliest possible date.<br /><br />Occurs on a weekday, but the club is hopping.

If it was a Thursday, he'd probably say "tomorrow".<br /><br />I guess the club is hopping on a Monday.</ref><br />

Lucy and Tess are both upset with him all day for dating people he doesn't really know while still having unresolved romantic entanglements with them.<br /><br />Rachel takes him to a drive-through movie theater where they hook up.

** '''Paulo & Jasmine''': David asks Paulo how he is at school and he confesses to feeling badly and inexperienced after his hookups with Rachel and Jessica. David encourages him to date someone younger instead. Lucy seethes quietly at him for his escapades.<br /><br />With David's urging, he asks out Jasmine when he catches her eye in the hall. They go on a movie date that night, with Amaya helping them get tickets to an R-rated horror movie.

David also reveals his new phone.<br /><br />Unnoticed by her friends, Lucy leaves the table and goes to needle Augustus.

Paulo washes up at a beach shower.<br /><br />They're far from Roseville. Paulo puts Lucy in a shopping cart and walks her back until they bust it going down a hill, at which point he goes back to physically carrying her. She admits she's embarrassed to practice for the play, but sings for him anyways and he's moved. He thinks again about his relationship with Jasmine and what isn't working when he stumbles upon Jasmine herself. The school day has ended and she's gotten her violin lessons canceled so she has more free time.<br /><br />David appears and runs Lucy the rest of the way to rehearsal.

* '''[[Dinner Time]]''': Lucy's mom makes dinner. Lucy has shut her pets out of her room but comes down for dinner. When Jordan and her mom bring up Mike, Lucy deflects attention to how Jordan tries to curry favor so he can go out late with Tiff on Friday. When the conversation circles back around to how nice Mike is, with Blur also enters the home, talking about the baby-talk Mike says to Sandy, Lucy excuses herself. Lucy's mom worries.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c65/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Jordan is trying to get curfew on Friday extended, so it's not a Friday.</ref><br />

<br />
* '''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor.<br /><br />She understands that he is going to see Alejandro.<br /><br />That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p8}}</ref><ref group="note">Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!</ref><br />
<br />
* '''Augustus opens up''': Augustus tells Lucy about his history with Alejandro, Melanie, and Toby. She tells him he'll find a way out and that he's a survivor. She also tells him to fix his haircut.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p34}}</ref><ref group="note">Makes the most sense after Lucy follows Augustus home. It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally. It makes less sense.</ref><br />

* '''December 11:''' Amaya turns 15.<br />

* '''[[Fade Away]] — Tess turns 18''': Tess reflects on her time and transformation throughout high school. Her friends surprise her at lunch with birthday gifts.

Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16}}</ref><ref group="note">Dare I suggest this occurs in December?

After Haley leaves to meet her friends, Mike struggles, having never babysat before.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c69.1/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This intermission does not occur in chronological order with the rest of the comic! We know Mike attends Tess's Christmas party and that Sandy's visit occurs the next evening, so it cannot occur between them where it appears in the comic.<br /><br />The exact placement is unclear, but it is in December based on calendar having writing matching the calendar shown in "December". Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike!<br /><br />However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help.<br /><br />It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.</ref><br />

Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?</ref><br />

A distraught Paulo yells at Daisy.<br /><br />Jordan walks down his street and Mike follows him. He says it's all Mike's fault and breaks down in tears, saying he doesn't want to lose his little sister.<br /><br />The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell.<br /><br />Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital.<br /><br />He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't.

Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof.<br /><br />Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c76/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This chapter is weirdly tricky to place.<br /><br />This could occur the same day as "Breaking up" or the day after, or it could also be a bit of a montage towards the end. I lean towards it being the same day, but I will say Augustus sure washed and dried his coat fast if that's the case.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''[[Study Buddy]]''': Sue grills Mike on if he had anything to do with Lucy leaving, and he confesses to having been "reckless". Tess grills him on what happened to the scarf she gave him.<br /><br />Rachel crawls into Paulo's lap to tutor him in math, and Jasmine walks in. She considers leaving, but Sue and Mike do their best to diffuse the tension and get her to stay.<br /><br />After the party, Paulo talks to Jasmine, who says she really liked him, but has realized he's really immature and is glad they broke up.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c77/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Directly follows "Leaving Home". When Paulo wakes up, it seems to be the weekend. Plus, at the start of the party, it's about 2:05 pm, which is before the end of the school day (see the clock in "Safe Boundaries" and Paulo's comments in "Carry Me".

He doesn't love the whole conversation.<br /><br />After school, Abbey and Daisy walk to the pharmacy, where they split up. Daisy picks up the condoms an runs into Augustus, who awkwardly goes elsewhere after un-stealing something, as well as Mike.<br /><br />At Daisy's house, she and Abbey can't agree on who will keep the box and they decide they don't need them after all. Abbey leaves them at Paulo's doorstep.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Daisy says "This month has been tough."

Neither can relate to the art around them, and both feel empty.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I'm assuming this is a field trip that happens on a week day.</ref><br />

She says she can't let him treat her this way and walks away.<br /><br />Paulo goes outside with a bloody nose, only to find Lucy and Augustus laughing together. He immediately throws a punch at Augustus, which Lucy blocks. He's deeply hurt that Lucy would prefer to spend lunch with Augustus than with him and their friends and understand it.

=== January ===<br />
<br />
* '''January 4:''' Sue turns 17.<br />

* Jordan turns 18.<br />
<br />
* '''Jess's Play''': Jess's play is performed. This definitely will upset no one at all. David, Madison, Rachel, Jordan, Matt, and Tiff all attend. Sue probably does too.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c121/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I figured the play would fall at a similar date to Sue's play, which was mid-January.

With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them.<br /><br />I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.</ref><br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
* Talking Marriage: Lucy asks Mike if he'd consider marrying her.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p30}}</ref><ref group="note">This scene is extremely tricky to place. Here are the assumptions I'm working on.<br /><br />1. This is after Sandy left. They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''October 26:''' Paulo moves to Roseville: He joins Lucy's 5th grade class partway through the year. Daisy offers to help him. He has a crush on Lucy, but he doesn't know how to approach her.

==== December ====<br />
<br />
* Paulo's little sister is born: Paulo's ha.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p23}}</ref><ref group="note">Paulo estimates his sister to be six or seven on New Year's Eve, 2008. This places her at six. I've gone for the earlier side of the window because it seems Paulo moved to Roseville shortly after his his parents divorce and there needs to be time for a pregnancy Paulo didn't know about.</ref><br />

** '''The Pep Rally''': Abbey is late to the pep rally because he was "talking to someone" and appears mildly scuffed; it later appears he roughed up Jay, one of the kickball bullies.<br /><br />Lucy sings beautifully but gets self-conscious. Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual.<br /><br />After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers.

Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset.<br /><br />Abbey, Paulo, and Mike go to Abbey's afterschool, where they meet Janet an Kevin. Mike talks with them about their family. Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing.<br /><br />After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on.

Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together.<br /><br />Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her.<br /><br />Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer.<br /><br />Abbey intercedes.

This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.</ref><br />

She decides to weaponize the reputation Tess gave her against her by sleeping with Paulo. She takes him him to a 21+ club where they get tipsy and hook up in the bathroom, losing their virginities to each other.

Lucy and Tess are both upset with him all day for dating people he doesn't really know while still having unresolved romantic entanglements with them.<br /><br />Rachel takes him to a drive-through movie theater where they hook up.

David encourages him to date someone younger instead. Lucy seethes quietly at him for his escapades.<br /><br />With David's urging, he asks out Jasmine when he catches her eye in the hall.

Paulo points out she could stay home and go after school. She boards a bus to try to go to the hospital, and he grabs onto the back of it. When it stops, he climbs aboard. Lucy throws up on him and they both get kicked off the bus. Paulo washes up at a beach shower.<br /><br />They're far from Roseville. Paulo puts Lucy in a shopping cart and walks her back until they bust it going down a hill, at which point he goes back to physically carrying her. She admits she's embarrassed to practice for the play, but sings for him anyways and he's moved. He thinks again about his relationship with Jasmine and what isn't working when he stumbles upon Jasmine herself. The school day has ended and she's gotten her violin lessons canceled so she has more free time.<br /><br />David appears and runs Lucy the rest of the way to rehearsal.

* '''December 2:''' [[Dinner Time]]: Lucy's mom makes dinner. Lucy has shut her pets out of her room but comes down for dinner. When Jordan and her mom bring up Mike, Lucy deflects attention to how Jordan tries to curry favor so he can go out late with Tiff on Friday. When the conversation circles back around to how nice Mike is, with Blur also enters the home, talking about the baby-talk Mike says to Sandy, Lucy excuses herself. Lucy's mom worries.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c65/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Jordan is trying to get curfew on Friday extended, so it's not a Friday.</ref><br />

<br />
* Lucy follows Augustus: Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor.<br /><br />She understands that he is going to see Alejandro.<br /><br />That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p8}}</ref><ref group="note">Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!</ref><br />
<br />
* Augustus opens up: Augustus tells Lucy about his history with Alejandro, Melanie, and Toby. She tells him he'll find a way out and that he's a survivor. She also tells him to fix his haircut.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p34}}</ref><ref group="note">Makes the most sense after Lucy follows Augustus home. It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally. It makes less sense.</ref><br />

Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16}}</ref><ref group="note">Dare I suggest this occurs in December?

Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike!<br /><br />However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help.<br /><br />It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.</ref><br />

* '''January 10:''' Sue's Play: Sue's play is finally performed.<br /><br />Paulo slips backstage to find Lucy. Sue begrudgingly directs him to her dressing room. He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines.<br /><br />Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere.<br /><br />The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children.<br /><br />After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c114/p59}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c126/p17}}</ref><ref group="note">Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 10:''' Lucy's suicide attempt: After the play, Lucy jumps off a roof. Augustus finds her and calls 911. She's afraid of who he's calling; it's implied she thinks it's Alejandro.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p31}}</ref><br />

Miss Amalu announces Lucy will no longer be attending Roseville High.<br /><br />After school, Sue, Mike, Paulo, David, Daisy and Abbey go to Lucy's house to check on her. Jordan slams the door in their faces. Paulo climbs up to Lucy's bedroom and discovers it is totally empty, having been cleared out. A distraught Paulo yells at Daisy.<br /><br />Jordan walks down his street and Mike follows him. He says it's all Mike's fault and breaks down in tears, saying he doesn't want to lose his little sister.<br /><br />The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell.<br /><br />Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital.<br /><br />He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't. Mike supports him.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Occurs the day after the play.</ref><br />

Mike comforts him.<br /><br />Everyone struggles with Lucy's departure their own way.<br /><br />Walking home, Paulo runs into Rachel and winds up finding comfort in her bed. Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof.<br /><br />Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c76/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This chapter is weirdly tricky to place.<br /><br />This could occur the same day as "Breaking up" or the day after, or it could also be a bit of a montage towards the end. I lean towards it being the same day, but I will say Augustus sure washed and dried his coat fast if that's the case.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 12:''' [[Study Buddy]]: Sue grills Mike on if he had anything to do with Lucy leaving, and he confesses to having been "reckless". Tess grills him on what happened to the scarf she gave him.<br /><br />Rachel crawls into Paulo's lap to tutor him in math, and Jasmine walks in. She considers leaving, but Sue and Mike do their best to diffuse the tension and get her to stay.<br /><br />After the party, Paulo talks to Jasmine, who says she really liked him, but has realized he's really immature and is glad they broke up.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c77/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Directly follows "Leaving Home". When Paulo wakes up, it seems to be the weekend. Plus, at the start of the party, it's about 2:05 pm, which is before the end of the school day (see the clock in "Safe Boundaries" and Paulo's comments in "Carry Me". Unless they have study days off before midterms, it's the weekend.</ref><br />

A very awkward conversation with Janet occurs.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Can't be too long after "Study Buddy" as midterms end.

* '''January 17:''' Jordan turns 17.<br />
<br />
* '''January 18:''' Lucy gets out of the hospital: Lucy was expected to be hospitalized for a week in "Breaking up". She presumably proceeds to move in with her aunt.<br />
<br />
* '''January 18:''' [[Safe Boundaries]] — Getting Protection: At school the next day, Daisy anticipates getting condoms. She asks Paulo about losing his virginity and where she can get protection. He doesn't love the whole conversation.<br /><br />After school, Abbey and Daisy walk to the pharmacy, where they split up. Daisy picks up the condoms an runs into Augustus, who awkwardly goes elsewhere after un-stealing something, as well as Mike.<br /><br />At Daisy's house, she and Abbey can't agree on who will keep the box and they decide they don't need them after all. Abbey leaves them at Paulo's doorstep.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Daisy says "This month has been tough."

* '''January 30:''' [[Critical Hit]] — The Art Museum: At the art museum, Sue is frustrated with Paulo and David's childish antics and tries to police their behavior. However, she's struggling to connect to and understand any of the art herself.<br /><br />When everyone else pays to go to a gated exhibit, Paulo reluctantly does as well, feeling insecure as he overhears Sue and Mike talking about him bringing David's grades down.<br /><br />Upstairs, he is unimpressed with the offerings and he and Sue fight, with her saying she came upstairs to get away from him, him insulting her play, her saying Lucy couldn't keep his attention. Neither can relate to the art around them, and both feel empty.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I'm assuming this is a field trip that happens on a week day.</ref><br />

A teary Rachel finds Paulo in the halls to thank him for the rose and note. Rachel is flattered that Paulo was jealous of Matt.

Sue probably does too.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c121/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I figured the play would fall at a similar date to Sue's play, which was mid-January. I still believe in my heart of hearts that the play should occur on a Friday or weekend night, and this time there are no constraints stopping me from placing it on the weekend.<br /><br />This does make it presented out of chronological order with "Seeing Stars", but "Rain Check" occurs the day after "Seeing Stars", so there is a non-chronological element built in and I don't feel bad about backdating it a little.</ref><br />

With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them.<br /><br />I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.</ref><br />

<br />
* '''January 21:''' [[Second String]]: At track, Mike struggles with people who liked him moving on. David finds out Paulo and Daisy are dating. Things at home aren't great for Mike as his parents are fighting.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c124/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Track practice is said to occur on Saturdays in "Track Meet". However, in "First-Degree Burn", it's implied that they're after school (c125/p14) and said to be "after school" in "Line in the Sand" (c127/p33) and "Make Fresh" (c128/p5). Maybe competitive meets happen on Saturdays? For now, I'm putting track practice on Wednesdays.<br /><br />Mike reveals to David that Daisy and Paulo are dating. They haven't been much opportunity for him to find out.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 22:''' [[First-Degree Burn]]: Lucy is having bad dreams. Augustus asks Mike to stay in during recess. He doesn't.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c125/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Occurs on a weekday.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 23:''' [[Participation Trophy]]: David helps reframe Jess's play to her friends. Sue is hurt about her own play's reception.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c126/p2}}</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 25-27:''' [[Line in the Sand]]<br />
** '''Montage''' (January 25): Mike's relationship with Sandy has been full of unfulfilling phone calls as he goes about his life, taking care of Chris and hanging out with David and James at lunch.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Lucy's bad dreams persist.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This entry occurs across multiple days, some school days and some potentially not school days. It seemed best to condense into one entry.</ref><br />
** '''Augustus confronts Mike''' (January 27): Augustus confronts Mike, antagonizing him in front of James and David and invoking how he treated Lucy until he physically lashes out. Mike claims Lucy led him on and she kicks him. David has a solution: Lucy returns to the table and leave Mike outside. James follows him in.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p6}}</ref><ref group="note">It's a minimum of 3 school days after "First-Degree burn" based on the lunch periods we see.<br /><br />This entry occurs across multiple days. The confrontation occurs on a weekday. I just kind of feel like Augustus spent a few days forming exactly how he wanted to approach this and what buttons he wanted to push after "First-Degree Burn". The montage at the beginning also implies a few extra days in the mix.</ref><br />
** '''Lucy returns to the table''' (January 27): Augustus sits with the seniors. Paulo is worried for Mike, but Lucy mentions his "Say the word" promise.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p36}}</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 29:''' [[Make Fresh]] — At School: Paulo and Abbey make plans. Paulo checks up on Mike. Daisy and Paulo discuss Mike and Lucy. Jordan invites them on a double date.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c128/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">It's a school day. Mike & Abbey make plans for Sunday. It seems to have been at least two days since "Line in the Sand". Environmental club is today, and it was implied not to be on Fridays in "Clean Slate".<br /><br />Until Valentine's day actually comes around, I've been keeping the calendar as tight as possible because we don't know how much stuff will happen before then. I suspect I may have compressed an extra week in, but we'll see.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''January 31:''' [[Make Fresh]] — Date Day: At the date, as Tiff is leaving early, Daisy and Paulo try to get Jordan to see that she isn't interested in him and he should look elsewhere. Paulo reveals Matt's crush on Jordan.<br /><br />After the date, Paulo and Daisy struggle with the speed of their relationship as Paulo wants to take it slow and Daisy would like a kiss.<br /><br />Jordan arrives home and receives college rejection letters, while Augustus receives acceptances.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c128/p15}}</ref><ref group="note">The date is on a Saturday.<br /><br />Until Valentine's day actually comes around, I've been keeping the calendar as tight as possible because we don't know how much stuff will happen before then.

She fails to make friends in his absence, being shunned by the girls for her rough play and by the boys for being a girl and accepts solitude.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c26/p2}}</ref><br />

=== 1999 ===<br />
<br />
==== June ====<br />
<br />

He clearly has lived in the area for some time before meeting, knowing which stores have fake cameras, etc.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p11}}</ref><br />

Mike is so enamored with Sandy he stops paying attention to Lucy, although she is always hovering in the periphery. Sandy stops paying attention to Daisy. Daisy hated Mike for disrupting her relationship with Sandy.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c17/p4}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c61/p39}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c39/p14}}</ref><br />

Based on the foliage, it isn't winter, but Paulo is wearing a shirt, so maybe early fall?</ref><br />
<br />

<br />
==== July ====<br />
<br />
* '''Meeting Alejandro''': ''Flashback shown in "Trapped".''<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p8}}</ref> Augustus steals milk from a convenience store and is noticed by Alejandro, Toby, and Melanie. He accepts Alejandro's invitation to hang out with them.<ref>[https://bittersweetcandybowl.tumblr.com/post/108980541216 BCB blog: Veronica on ages in this scene]</ref><ref group="note">"When little Augustus is stealing milk and meets Alejandro’s group for the first time: Augustus is 10, Melanie is 13 and Alejandro is 16.

<br />
* July 11: Blur Hatches.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c19/p8}}</ref><ref group="note">Year is a guess here; I've just made him the same age as Yashy as they are peers. The date listed as Blur's birthday might be the date he's found, not the day he hatched.</ref><br />
<br />
==== August ====<br />
<br />
* August 2: '''Augustus saves his mom''': Augustus's mom is passed out drunk in their home, asphyxiating on her own vomit, and Augustus moves her into the rescue position.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p16}}</ref><ref group="note">It's presented as the same year that Augustus meets Alejando & co.</ref><br />

<br />
* August 20: '''Sandy moves''': Sandy leaves before 4th grade starts after spending most of the summer with Michael.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c17/p9}}</ref><ref group="note">She leaves after Michael's birthday and before Yashy hatches.</ref><br />

<br />
* Paulo's parents divorce.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p23}}</ref><ref group="note">It seems this happened shortly before Paulo moved to Roseville, but my placement is constrained by ensuring Paulo didn't see his mom's second pregnancy.</ref><br />

<br />
==== March ====<br />
<br />
* March 4: '''Lucy wins a race''': Lucy beats Mike is a race on field day. (He walked).<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c17/p9}}</ref><ref group="note">This happened at some point in fourth grade.</ref><br />

<br />

* September 27: Daisy turns 10.<br />
<br />
==== October ====<br />
<br />

<br />
* '''Talking Marriage''': Lucy asks Mike if he'd consider marrying her.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p30}}</ref><ref group="note">This scene is extremely tricky to place. Here are the assumptions I'm working on.<br /><br />1. This is after Sandy left. They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.</ref><br />
<br />
* October 26: '''Paulo moves to Roseville''': He joins Lucy's 5th grade class partway through the year. Daisy offers to help him. He has a crush on Lucy, but he doesn't know how to approach her.

==== December ====<br />
<br />
* '''Paulo's little sister is born''': Paulo's ha.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p23}}</ref><ref group="note">Paulo estimates his sister to be six or seven on New Year's Eve, 2008. This places her at six. I've gone for the earlier side of the window because it seems Paulo moved to Roseville shortly after his his parents divorce and there needs to be time for a pregnancy Paulo didn't know about.</ref><br />

<br />
* January 4: Sue turns 11.<br />
<br />

** '''Lunch & Gym''': The pep rally is today!

** '''The Pep Rally''': Abbey is late to the pep rally because he was "talking to someone" and appears mildly scuffed; it later appears he roughed up Jay, one of the kickball bullies.<br /><br />Lucy sings beautifully but gets self-conscious. Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual.<br /><br />After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers.

This results in her thinking Rachel and Jess also would shun her. Abbey sees the interaction, and offers to spend time with her, having forgotten he's committed to tutor Paulo and Mike. Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset.<br /><br />Abbey, Paulo, and Mike go to Abbey's afterschool, where they meet Janet an Kevin. Mike talks with them about their family. Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing.<br /><br />After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on.

Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together.<br /><br />Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her.<br /><br />Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer.<br /><br />Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro.

This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.</ref><br />

I wanted to place it on Friday because of this, but moved it earlier in the week base on three constraints.<br /><br />One, it occurs after Casting call, which happens on October 15th at the latest based on the calendar.<br /><br />Two: If Paulo is helping Jasmine campaign two weeks before the student council election on November 5th, they must have their first date the week of the 15th.<br /><br />Three: Before asking Jasmine out, Paulo says he might get ready for tests on Friday. If it was a Thursday, he'd probably say "tomorrow".<br /><br />I guess the club is hopping on a Monday.</ref><br />
** '''Paulo & Rachel''' (October 17): Paulo asks Rachel out. Lucy and Tess are both upset with him all day for dating people he doesn't really know while still having unresolved romantic entanglements with them.<br /><br />Rachel takes him to a drive-through movie theater where they hook up.

They go on a movie date that night, with Amaya helping them get tickets to an R-rated horror movie.

* November: [[Carry Me]]<br />
** '''Not connecting''' (c. November): Paulo and David talk about his relationship with Jasmine, but he can't quite manage to compete with her busy schedule.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c64/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">"Carry Me" Occurs over three consecutive days.

Paulo points out she could stay home and go after school. She boards a bus to try to go to the hospital, and he grabs onto the back of it. When it stops, he climbs aboard. Lucy throws up on him and they both get kicked off the bus. Paulo washes up at a beach shower.<br /><br />They're far from Roseville. Paulo puts Lucy in a shopping cart and walks her back until they bust it going down a hill, at which point he goes back to physically carrying her. She admits she's embarrassed to practice for the play, but sings for him anyways and he's moved. He thinks again about his relationship with Jasmine and what isn't working when he stumbles upon Jasmine herself. The school day has ended and she's gotten her violin lessons canceled so she has more free time.<br /><br />David appears and runs Lucy the rest of the way to rehearsal.

=== December ===<br />
<br />
* December 2: '''[[Dinner Time]]''': Lucy's mom makes dinner. Lucy has shut her pets out of her room but comes down for dinner. When Jordan and her mom bring up Mike, Lucy deflects attention to how Jordan tries to curry favor so he can go out late with Tiff on Friday. When the conversation circles back around to how nice Mike is, with Blur also enters the home, talking about the baby-talk Mike says to Sandy, Lucy excuses herself. Lucy's mom worries.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c65/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Jordan is trying to get curfew on Friday extended, so it's not a Friday.</ref><br />
<br />
* December 3: '''[[On Our Own]]''': Lucy tries to follow Augustus home after school. He doesn't let her.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c66/p1}}</ref><br />
<br />
* December 3: '''Madison transfers''': Madison transfers to Roseville High as a sophomore. It likely occurred prior to the play, which she attended.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c90/p31}}</ref><br />
<br />
* '''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor.<br /><br />She understands that he is going to see Alejandro.<br /><br />That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p8}}</ref><ref group="note">Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!</ref><br />
<br />
* '''Augustus opens up''': Augustus tells Lucy about his history with Alejandro, Melanie, and Toby. She tells him he'll find a way out and that he's a survivor. She also tells him to fix his haircut.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p34}}</ref><ref group="note">Makes the most sense after Lucy follows Augustus home. It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally. It makes less sense.</ref><br />
<br />
* December 11: Amaya turns 15.<br />
<br />
* December 13: '''[[Fade Away]] — Tess turns 18''': Tess reflects on her time and transformation throughout high school. Her friends surprise her at lunch with birthday gifts.

* December 13: '''[[December]] — Mike & Lucy Fall Out''': Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16}}</ref><ref group="note">Dare I suggest this occurs in December? We actually have an exact date for it! We know it's the week before Sandy's visit on December 21st. We also know it occurs on a Thursday based on Lucy's "We've still got Friday and the whole weekend!" comment. Thus, I present you the definitive date: December 13, 2007. Did you know December happens on Tess's birthday? It does! Same day!<br /><br />Boy do these kids have winter break start early! (December 18th, based on comments that Monday is the last day of school). I'm jealous.</ref><br />

After Haley leaves to meet her friends, Mike struggles, having never babysat before.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c69.1/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This intermission does not occur in chronological order with the rest of the comic! We know Mike attends Tess's Christmas party and that Sandy's visit occurs the next evening, so it cannot occur between them where it appears in the comic.<br /><br />The exact placement is unclear, but it is in December based on calendar having writing matching the calendar shown in "December". Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike!<br /><br />However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help.<br /><br />It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.</ref><br />

=== January ===<br />
<br />
* January 4: Sue turns 16.<br />
<br />
* January 10: '''Sue's Play''': Sue's play is finally performed.<br /><br />Paulo slips backstage to find Lucy. Sue begrudgingly directs him to her dressing room. He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines.<br /><br />Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere.<br /><br />The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children.<br /><br />After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c114/p59}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c126/p17}}</ref><ref group="note">Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?</ref><br />
<br />
* January 10: '''Lucy's suicide attempt''': After the play, Lucy jumps off a roof. Augustus finds her and calls 911. She's afraid of who he's calling; it's implied she thinks it's Alejandro.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p31}}</ref><br />
<br />
* January 11: '''[[Breaking Up]]''': At school, the kids discuss the play and Lucy turning down the producer. Miss Amalu announces Lucy will no longer be attending Roseville High.<br /><br />After school, Sue, Mike, Paulo, David, Daisy and Abbey go to Lucy's house to check on her. Jordan slams the door in their faces. Paulo climbs up to Lucy's bedroom and discovers it is totally empty, having been cleared out. A distraught Paulo yells at Daisy.<br /><br />Jordan walks down his street and Mike follows him. He says it's all Mike's fault and breaks down in tears, saying he doesn't want to lose his little sister.<br /><br />The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell.<br /><br />Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital.<br /><br />He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't. Mike supports him.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Occurs the day after the play.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 11: '''[[Leaving Home]]''': Blur learns that Yashy, Lily, and Chirpy are leaving and tells Mike he can't deal without them.<br /><br />Mike sits under the tree. Paulo finds him and punches him and then breaks down, despairing that he never got the chance to tell Lucy he loved her. Mike comforts him.<br /><br />Everyone struggles with Lucy's departure their own way.<br /><br />Walking home, Paulo runs into Rachel and winds up finding comfort in her bed. Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof.<br /><br />Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c76/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This chapter is weirdly tricky to place.<br /><br />This could occur the same day as "Breaking up" or the day after, or it could also be a bit of a montage towards the end. I lean towards it being the same day, but I will say Augustus sure washed and dried his coat fast if that's the case.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 12: '''[[Study Buddy]]''': Sue grills Mike on if he had anything to do with Lucy leaving, and he confesses to having been "reckless". Tess grills him on what happened to the scarf she gave him.<br /><br />Rachel crawls into Paulo's lap to tutor him in math, and Jasmine walks in. She considers leaving, but Sue and Mike do their best to diffuse the tension and get her to stay.<br /><br />After the party, Paulo talks to Jasmine, who says she really liked him, but has realized he's really immature and is glad they broke up.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c77/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Directly follows "Leaving Home". When Paulo wakes up, it seems to be the weekend. Plus, at the start of the party, it's about 2:05 pm, which is before the end of the school day (see the clock in "Safe Boundaries" and Paulo's comments in "Carry Me". Unless they have study days off before midterms, it's the weekend.</ref><br />
<br />
* '''[[Safe Boundaries]] — End of Midterms''': Midterms happen. Abbey and Daisy are triumphant while Paulo is suffering.<br /><br />On their way to Abbey's after school, Tess makes some innuendos to Abbey and Daisy. At Abbey's they make out until Abbey pulls back. Abbey and Daisy consider the trajectory of their relationship and decide it would be good to get protection. A very awkward conversation with Janet occurs.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Can't be too long after "Study Buddy" as midterms end. Daisy goes to the drug store on a school day followed by another school day. Placing this on the 17th makes midterms end the same time as I estimated they did last year! Yay! I love it when things line up.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 17: Jordan turns 17.<br />
<br />
* January 18: '''Lucy gets out of the hospital''': Lucy was expected to be hospitalized for a week in "Breaking up". She presumably proceeds to move in with her aunt.<br />
<br />
* January 18: '''[[Safe Boundaries]] — Getting Protection''': At school the next day, Daisy anticipates getting condoms. She asks Paulo about losing his virginity and where she can get protection. He doesn't love the whole conversation.<br /><br />After school, Abbey and Daisy walk to the pharmacy, where they split up. Daisy picks up the condoms an runs into Augustus, who awkwardly goes elsewhere after un-stealing something, as well as Mike.<br /><br />At Daisy's house, she and Abbey can't agree on who will keep the box and they decide they don't need them after all. Abbey leaves them at Paulo's doorstep.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c78/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Daisy says "This month has been tough." Can't be too long after "Study Buddy" as midterms end. Daisy goes to the drug store on a school day followed by another school day.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 30: '''[[Critical Hit]] — The Art Museum''': At the art museum, Sue is frustrated with Paulo and David's childish antics and tries to police their behavior. However, she's struggling to connect to and understand any of the art herself.<br /><br />When everyone else pays to go to a gated exhibit, Paulo reluctantly does as well, feeling insecure as he overhears Sue and Mike talking about him bringing David's grades down.<br /><br />Upstairs, he is unimpressed with the offerings and he and Sue fight, with her saying she came upstairs to get away from him, him insulting her play, her saying Lucy couldn't keep his attention. Neither can relate to the art around them, and both feel empty.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I'm assuming this is a field trip that happens on a week day.</ref><br />

A teary Rachel finds Paulo in the halls to thank him for the rose and note. Rachel is flattered that Paulo was jealous of Matt.

Mike tells Sandy about most of the day and she lets him know she might be able to be around for Valentine's Day and wants to show her commitment to their relationship.<br /><br />It occurs the Sunday before Christmas.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c116/p1}}</ref><br />
<br />
* December 26: '''[[Good Enough]]''': At work, James is excited for the movie with Mike and Paulo gets jealous. Daisy stops by Burger-Tron and they talk about jealousy and unattainable people. David makes a plan to spy on Mike and James's date. Daisy is jealous about Paulo's romantic entanglements.<br /><br />It's the day before the movie date, which we know is Saturday the 27th.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c117/p1}}</ref><br />
<br />
* December 26: '''[[Date Night]]''': James and Mike go to the movies. Afterwards, James kisses him and they talk about their relationship. David, Daisy, and Paulo show up at the park and David tries to hype up Paulo to James. Paulo races Mike for James's attention, but it's David James notices and recruits for track. Daisy leaves upset. Mike and Paulo talk and Paulo resolves to check up on Daisy.<br /><br />James invites Mike to a movie "on Saturday" in "Link Play", which we know is the Sunday before Christmas.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c118/p1}}</ref><br />
<br />
* December 31: [[New Year's Resolution]]<br />
** '''Paulo discovers his sister''': Paulo discovers he has a sister. Mike tries to support him and they talk about relationships.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p4}}</ref><br />
** '''Lucy & Augustus''': Lucy and Augustus are hopeful going into the new year.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c119/p1}}</ref><br />
== 2009 ==<br />
<br />
=== January ===<br />
<br />
* January 4: Sue turns 17.<br />
<br />
* January 17: Jordan turns 18.<br />
<br />
* January 18: '''Jess's Play''': Jess's play is performed. This definitely will upset no one at all. David, Madison, Rachel, Jordan, Matt, and Tiff all attend. Sue probably does too.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c121/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I figured the play would fall at a similar date to Sue's play, which was mid-January. I still believe in my heart of hearts that the play should occur on a Friday or weekend night, and this time there are no constraints stopping me from placing it on the weekend.<br /><br />This does make it presented out of chronological order with "Seeing Stars", but "Rain Check" occurs the day after "Seeing Stars", so there is a non-chronological element built in and I don't feel bad about backdating it a little.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 19: '''[[Seeing Stars]]''': Lucy has bad dreams. Her mom and Augustus worry. Paulo asks her about Daisy. Mike goes out at lunch with James and David.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c120/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Occurs on a school day. The snow is thawing. Occurs the day before "Rain Check" as Lucy makes a note to check on her the next day.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 20: '''Play Fallout''': Jess's play causes friction in her friend group.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c121/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">I figured the play would fall similarly to Sue's play. This technically occurs over two days (the show night and at school), but it didn't feel worth splitting up.<br /><br />Should occur very soon after the play as the friend group hasn't really discussed it (at least not with Jess) prior to this.<br /><br />David is in at lunch to witness the drama, so "Seeing Stars" can't occur the same day unless he went out afterwards. With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them.<br /><br />I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 20: '''[[Rain Check]]''': Lucy checks on Daisy and brings her to Burger-Tron. Emotions run high and Paulo tells Daisy how he feels.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c122/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Happens on a week day and the day after "Seeing Stars". There needs to be time for "Review Session" before the next day of school. It could be the same evening, but placing Rain Check on a Friday lets it be over the weekend instead of having Abbey and Paulo go to the library after his shift and them both getting wet.<br /><br />It's raining, so the temperature has gone up, but it can't be before Valentine's Day as Sandy hasn't visited.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 20: '''[[Review Session]]''': Daisy and Paulo study and agree to keep their relationship from Abbey.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c122.1/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">They're dry, but it has to occur before the next school day. Either occurs on the same day as "Rain Check" or "Rain Check" was a Friday and it can occur over the weekend. If "Rain Check" was a Friday, either the play happened during the week or people didn't talk about it until Thursday, neither of which seems likely.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 21: '''[[Third Wheel]]''': Daisy and Paulo want to keep their relationship with Abbey, but Daisy also wants people to know they're dating. Most aren't surprised. Abbey lends Paulo a book.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c123/p1}}</ref><br />
<br />
* January 21: '''[[Second String]]''': At track, Mike struggles with people who liked him moving on. David finds out Paulo and Daisy are dating. Things at home aren't great for Mike as his parents are fighting.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c124/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Track practice is said to occur on Saturdays in "Track Meet". However, in "First-Degree Burn", it's implied that they're after school (c125/p14) and said to be "after school" in "Line in the Sand" (c127/p33) and "Make Fresh" (c128/p5). Maybe competitive meets happen on Saturdays? For now, I'm putting track practice on Wednesdays.<br /><br />Mike reveals to David that Daisy and Paulo are dating. They haven't been much opportunity for him to find out.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 22: '''[[First-Degree Burn]]''': Lucy is having bad dreams. Augustus asks Mike to stay in during recess. He doesn't.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c125/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">Occurs on a weekday.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 23: '''[[Participation Trophy]]''': David helps reframe Jess's play to her friends. Sue is hurt about her own play's reception.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c126/p2}}</ref><br />
<br />
* January 25-27: [[Line in the Sand]]<br />
** '''Montage''' (January 25): Mike's relationship with Sandy has been full of unfulfilling phone calls as he goes about his life, taking care of Chris and hanging out with David and James at lunch.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Lucy's bad dreams persist.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">This entry occurs across multiple days, some school days and some potentially not school days. It seemed best to condense into one entry.</ref><br />
** '''Augustus confronts Mike''' (January 27): Augustus confronts Mike, antagonizing him in front of James and David and invoking how he treated Lucy until he physically lashes out. Mike claims Lucy led him on and she kicks him. David has a solution: Lucy returns to the table and leave Mike outside. James follows him in.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p6}}</ref><ref group="note">It's a minimum of 3 school days after "First-Degree burn" based on the lunch periods we see.<br /><br />This entry occurs across multiple days. The confrontation occurs on a weekday. I just kind of feel like Augustus spent a few days forming exactly how he wanted to approach this and what buttons he wanted to push after "First-Degree Burn". The montage at the beginning also implies a few extra days in the mix.</ref><br />
** '''Lucy returns to the table''' (January 27): Augustus sits with the seniors. Paulo is worried for Mike, but Lucy mentions his "Say the word" promise.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c127/p36}}</ref><br />
<br />
* January 29: '''[[Make Fresh]] — At School''': Paulo and Abbey make plans. Paulo checks up on Mike. Daisy and Paulo discuss Mike and Lucy. Jordan invites them on a double date.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c128/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">It's a school day. Mike & Abbey make plans for Sunday. It seems to have been at least two days since "Line in the Sand". Environmental club is today, and it was implied not to be on Fridays in "Clean Slate".<br /><br />Until Valentine's day actually comes around, I've been keeping the calendar as tight as possible because we don't know how much stuff will happen before then. I suspect I may have compressed an extra week in, but we'll see.</ref><br />
<br />
* January 31: '''[[Make Fresh]] — Date Day''': At the date, as Tiff is leaving early, Daisy and Paulo try to get Jordan to see that she isn't interested in him and he should look elsewhere. Paulo reveals Matt's crush on Jordan.<br /><br />After the date, Paulo and Daisy struggle with the speed of their relationship as Paulo wants to take it slow and Daisy would like a kiss.<br /><br />Jordan arrives home and receives college rejection letters, while Augustus receives acceptances.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c128/p15}}</ref><ref group="note">The date is on a Saturday.<br /><br />Until Valentine's day actually comes around, I've been keeping the calendar as tight as possible because we don't know how much stuff will happen before then.

|text='''Getting Mugged''' (May 25): Tensions run high as Mike, Lucy, Daisy, Paulo, and Sue get lost after a trip to a museum to research a project for school and end up in a bad area. They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c14/p1}}</ref><ref group="note">The mugging doesn't occur on a Friday or Saturday as the next day is a school day.</ref><br />

|text='''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor.<br /><br />She understands that he is going to see Alejandro.<br /><br />That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p8}}</ref><ref group="note">Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!</ref><br />

Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone.

It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday.

It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues.

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting.

The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!</ref><br />

|text='''December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out''': Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16}}</ref><ref group="note">Date considerations: Dare I suggest this occurs in December?

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting.

The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home.

While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time.

I still believe in my heart of hearts that the play should occur on a Friday or weekend night, and this time there are no constraints stopping me from placing it on the weekend.<br /><br />This does make it presented out of chronological order with "Seeing Stars", but "Rain Check" occurs the day after "Seeing Stars", so there is a non-chronological element built in and I don't feel bad about backdating it a little.)</i><br />

This technically occurs over two days (the show night and at school), but it didn't feel worth splitting up.<br /><br />Should occur very soon after the play as the friend group hasn't really discussed it (at least not with Jess) prior to this.<br /><br />David is in at lunch to witness the drama, so "Seeing Stars" can't occur the same day unless he went out afterwards. With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them.<br /><br />I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.)</i><br />

Augustus sits by, not intervening.<br /><br />Later, Augustus apologizes for not doing anything and Melanie says it was the right choice as it might make Alejandro suspicious. She kisses him. Toby witnesses this and reports her infidelity to Alejandro. Augustus returns to the apartment to discover Alejandro beating her, demanding to know who she was with. Augustus tries to pull him off her, and Melanie swipes his face, scaring him to protect him from scrutiny. He passes out and learns that Toby has dropped Melanie off at the hospital. He visits her there and she tells him the incident has made her grandmother decide to take her in. She'll be safe, but they won't be able to see each other again.<br /><br />Afterwards, Toby reveals he knows it was Augustus kissing Melanie. He uses this to blackmail Augustus, forcing him to be at his beck and call, lest he tell Alejandro of his involvement.<br /><br />Augustus is 14 or 15 depending on exactly when this falls.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p26}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: Augustus is or is going to be a sophomore and Melanie is or is going to be a senior, placing it in the 2005-2006 school year or the summer preceding it.

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting.

When he reveals they made out but he stopped it from going further, David questions his masculinity.<br /><br />Feeling insecure, Paulo decides to hook up with someone and hits on Jessica, who is disinterested until he admits to Tess having a romantic attachment to him. She decides to weaponize the reputation Tess gave her against her by sleeping with Paulo. She takes him him to a 21+ club where they get tipsy and hook up in the bathroom, losing their virginities to each other.

|text='''Paulo carries Lucy''' (c. November 30): Paulo finds Lucy burning up with a fever on the way to school. She's determined to go for play rehearsal. Paulo points out she could stay home and go after school. She boards a bus to try to go to the hospital, and he grabs onto the back of it. When it stops, he climbs aboard. Lucy throws up on him and they both get kicked off the bus. Paulo washes up at a beach shower.<br /><br />They're far from Roseville. Paulo puts Lucy in a shopping cart and walks her back until they bust it going down a hill, at which point he goes back to physically carrying her. She admits she's embarrassed to practice for the play, but sings for him anyways and he's moved. He thinks again about his relationship with Jasmine and what isn't working when he stumbles upon Jasmine herself. The school day has ended and she's gotten her violin lessons canceled so she has more free time.<br /><br />David appears and runs Lucy the rest of the way to rehearsal. Mike gives her some meds and she's deliriously relieved that he's talking to her, although he isn't amused.<br /><br />Jasmine and Paulo spend the rest of the day together, hoping for more to come.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c64/p4}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: "Carry Me" Occurs over three consecutive days.

She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch.

She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c102/p8}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!)</i><br />

Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: Dare I suggest this occurs in December?

He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines.<br /><br />Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere.<br /><br />The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children.<br /><br />After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c74/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c114/p59}}</ref><ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c126/p17}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?)</i><br />

Daisy gets one for Rachel on Paulo's behalf, writing a very sweet romantic note.<br /><br />When roses are handed out, Mike gets a pile from admirers.<br /><br />The rose Paulo sent Abbey on Daisy's behalf isn't particularly well received, between the name mix-up and Abbey's feeling that Daisy would drop him instantly for Mike, but Paulo pushes Daisy and Abbey together nevertheless.<br /><br />David got Paulo a rose, which he wore. A teary Rachel finds Paulo in the halls to thank him for the rose and note. Rachel is flattered that Paulo was jealous of Matt. They clear up Daisy's involvement, and Rachel makes it clear he's the only guy she wants to see right now and tells Paulo Matt's gay.<ref>{{Cite chapter{{!}}url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c81/p19}}</ref><br /><br /><i>(Date considerations: Jasmine needs time to organize the rose drive, so I gave it a week.

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.

Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall.<br /><br />Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together.<br /><br />Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her.<br /><br />Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer.<br /><br />Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her.

This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.)</i><br />

|text='''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor.<br /><br />She understands that he is going to see Alejandro.<br /><br />That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho. See [[Escape Route]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in.<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!)</i><br />

Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker.

They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines.<br /><br />Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere.<br /><br />The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children.<br /><br />After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down. See [[Curtain Call]], [[Breaking Up]], [[Double Down]], and [[Participation Trophy]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?)</i><br />

|text='''Augustus confronts Mike''' (January 27): Augustus confronts Mike, antagonizing him in front of James and David and invoking how he treated Lucy until he physically lashes out. Mike claims Lucy led him on and she kicks him. David has a solution: Lucy returns to the table and leave Mike outside. James follows him in. See [[Line in the Sand]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: It's a minimum of 3 school days after "First-Degree burn" based on the lunch periods we see.<br /><br />This entry occurs across multiple days.

It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf. This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left. If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely. 5th grade seems to mitigate these issues.

See [[Rising Temperature]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Daisy describes this happening, and it can't have been the 8th grade prom as she knows Mike and Lucy didn't go to that. I've placed the dance similarly to where the 8th grade dance falls, only in 6th grade. Technically, this could occur in 7th grade instead, but I'm placing it in 6th grade as I think it's more likely that Lucy would be willing to go with Mike prior to when he kisses her in 7th grade.)</i><br />

|text='''Getting Mugged''' (May 25): Tensions run high as Mike, Lucy, Daisy, Paulo, and Sue get lost after a trip to a museum to research a project for school and end up in a bad area. They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them. A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro. Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.

Augustus approaches her and complements her, claiming he'd seen her doing cheerleading at his little brother's soccer games. While she's unnerved at being approached by someone two grades older than her, he calls her cute and beautiful despite her insecurities about her curls. Katie talks to Mike about why Lucy got excused from swimming. She joins Lucy in being excused, claiming to have her period. At lunch, Daisy tries to ask Paulo about whether or not she's attractive by guys, but Paulo is distracted by Tess approaching. Daisy feels teased, and Augustus sits next to her and compliments her. Tess is wary, but says nothing. Katie splashes Lucy with bottled water. After school, Lucy walks to the river, trying to overcome her hydrophobia, but doesn't make it to the water before turning back. Augustus is stalking her.

During swimming, girls admire Mike. He approaches Daisy and tells her she's been missed at the table. Michael, Paulo, and David are tasked with racing. Daisy wishes for attention, and absentmindedly swims into a wall and she gets it when Mike pulls her up. She flirts with a flustered Mike, and Paulo accuses Mike of being a cheater. After she goes to the nurse's office, Abbey catches up with Daisy, worried about her and warning her that Augustus may not have her best interests in mind. She doesn't take it well. Paulo asks Tess to junior prom, and she stipulates that they go just as friends. Tess is cornered by someone she bullied last year with Roger, and Abbey, who was in the junior hall looking for Augustus, punches him. Afterwards, Tess tells Abbey about her past with Roger, and Abbey is adamant that she didn't deserve to be cornered and afraid. He encourages her to tell their friends, and she calls Paulo.

|text='''The Pep Rally''': Abbey is late to the pep rally because he was "talking to someone" and appears mildly scuffed; it later appears he roughed up Jay, one of the kickball bullies. Lucy sings beautifully but gets self-conscious. Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual. After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers. Paulo says she's made up for her past behavior, while Daisy follows Jess and Rachel's animosity, yelling at him to shut up while asking about why people who don't have anything to make up for don't get better treatment. After the rally, Tess tells Mike and Lucy what she was like last year. Lucy's opinion of her has fallen, but they don't reject her. Jay, one of the kickball bullies, apologizes to Tess, evidently after Abbey roughed him up. Abbey talks to Paulo about how Daisy is drifting away. Daisy thinks her friends won't want to talk to her after what she said about Tess, but gets invited to go to the mall with Katie, Rachel, and Jess.

Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing. After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on.

Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall. Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together. Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her. Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer. Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her.

While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.)</i><br />

|text='''Paulo & Jess''' (October 16): David notices Paulo and Lucy's bantering and asks Paulo if he and Lucy are a couple. When he reveals they made out but he stopped it from going further, David questions his masculinity. Feeling insecure, Paulo decides to hook up with someone and hits on Jessica, who is disinterested until he admits to Tess having a romantic attachment to him. She decides to weaponize the reputation Tess gave her against her by sleeping with Paulo. She takes him him to a 21+ club where they get tipsy and hook up in the bathroom, losing their virginities to each other. Afterwards, she makes him feel inexperienced while secretly feeling dirty herself. She suggests he ask Rachel out as she has a crush on her. See [[Back and Forth]] and [[Pillow Talk]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: It occurs after "Casting Call", which I've placed on the earliest possible date.

One, it occurs after Casting call, which happens on October 15th at the latest based on the calendar. Two: If Paulo is helping Jasmine campaign two weeks before the student council election on November 5th, they must have their first date the week of the 15th. Three: Before asking Jasmine out, Paulo says he might get ready for tests on Friday. If it was a Thursday, he'd probably say "tomorrow". I guess the club is hopping on a Monday.)</i><br />

|text='''Paulo carries Lucy''' (c. November 30): Paulo finds Lucy burning up with a fever on the way to school. She's determined to go for play rehearsal. Paulo points out she could stay home and go after school. She boards a bus to try to go to the hospital, and he grabs onto the back of it. When it stops, he climbs aboard. Lucy throws up on him and they both get kicked off the bus. Paulo washes up at a beach shower. They're far from Roseville. Paulo puts Lucy in a shopping cart and walks her back until they bust it going down a hill, at which point he goes back to physically carrying her. She admits she's embarrassed to practice for the play, but sings for him anyways and he's moved. He thinks again about his relationship with Jasmine and what isn't working when he stumbles upon Jasmine herself. The school day has ended and she's gotten her violin lessons canceled so she has more free time. David appears and runs Lucy the rest of the way to rehearsal. Mike gives her some meds and she's deliriously relieved that he's talking to her, although he isn't amused. Jasmine and Paulo spend the rest of the day together, hoping for more to come.

|text='''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor. She understands that he is going to see Alejandro. That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho. See [[Escape Route]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December. I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in. Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up. However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives. The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!)</i><br />

If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally.

|text='''December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out''': Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it. Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours. He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is. Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness. See [[December]] and [[Just Beautiful]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Dare I suggest this occurs in December? We actually have an exact date for it! We know it's the week before Sandy's visit on December 21st. We also know it occurs on a Thursday based on Lucy's "We've still got Friday and the whole weekend!" comment.

|text='''Sue's Play''': Sue's play is finally performed. Paulo slips backstage to find Lucy. Sue begrudgingly directs him to her dressing room. He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines. Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere. The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children. After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends. After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down. See [[Curtain Call]], [[Breaking Up]], [[Double Down]], and [[Participation Trophy]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday? I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight. And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?)</i><br />

After school, Sue, Mike, Paulo, David, Daisy and Abbey go to Lucy's house to check on her. Jordan slams the door in their faces. Paulo climbs up to Lucy's bedroom and discovers it is totally empty, having been cleared out. A distraught Paulo yells at Daisy. Jordan walks down his street and Mike follows him. He says it's all Mike's fault and breaks down in tears, saying he doesn't want to lose his little sister. The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell. Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital. He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't. Mike supports him.

Walking home, Paulo runs into Rachel and winds up finding comfort in her bed. Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof. Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong. See [[Leaving Home]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: This chapter is weirdly tricky to place.

This technically occurs over two days (the show night and at school), but it didn't feel worth splitting up. Should occur very soon after the play as the friend group hasn't really discussed it (at least not with Jess) prior to this. David is in at lunch to witness the drama, so "Seeing Stars" can't occur the same day unless he went out afterwards. With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them. I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.)</i><br />

He gets cold and they go into her house, where he calls his mom for a pickup because the weather is bad. Upstairs waiting, Lucy suggests he gets a scarf to keep warm. Mike confesses to "really really lik[ing] her" and kisses her. After a second, Lucy panics and pushes him off. She asks him to go and he promises to wait until she's ready. It's Lucy's first kiss. See [[Pillow Talk]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: It's winter based on the weather. They will be "eighth graders in a year".)</i><br />

Toby witnesses this and reports her infidelity to Alejandro. Augustus returns to the apartment to discover Alejandro beating her, demanding to know who she was with. Augustus tries to pull him off her, and Melanie swipes his face, scaring him to protect him from scrutiny. He passes out and learns that Toby has dropped Melanie off at the hospital. He visits her there and she tells him the incident has made her grandmother decide to take her in. She'll be safe, but they won't be able to see each other again.

|text='''Getting Mugged''' (May 25): Tensions run high as Mike, Lucy, Daisy, Paulo, and Sue get lost after a trip to a museum to research a project for school and end up in a bad area. They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them. A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro. Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.

During swimming, girls admire Mike. He approaches Daisy and tells her she's been missed at the table. Michael, Paulo, and David are tasked with racing. Daisy wishes for attention, and absentmindedly swims into a wall and she gets it when Mike pulls her up. She flirts with a flustered Mike, and Paulo accuses Mike of being a cheater. After she goes to the nurse's office, Abbey catches up with Daisy, worried about her and warning her that Augustus may not have her best interests in mind. She doesn't take it well. Paulo asks Tess to junior prom, and she stipulates that they go just as friends. Tess is cornered by someone she bullied last year with Roger, and Abbey, who was in the junior hall looking for Augustus, punches him. Afterwards, Tess tells Abbey about her past with Roger, and Abbey is adamant that she didn't deserve to be cornered and afraid. He encourages her to tell their friends, and she calls Paulo. See [[Under Pressure]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Occurs on a Friday. It's the final week of swimming, which there is stated to have been several weeks of.

Lucy sings beautifully but gets self-conscious. Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual. After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers. Paulo says she's made up for her past behavior, while Daisy follows Jess and Rachel's animosity, yelling at him to shut up while asking about why people who don't have anything to make up for don't get better treatment. After the rally, Tess tells Mike and Lucy what she was like last year. Lucy's opinion of her has fallen, but they don't reject her. Jay, one of the kickball bullies, apologizes to Tess, evidently after Abbey roughed him up. Abbey talks to Paulo about how Daisy is drifting away.

Daisy is shunned by Katie, who doesn't think she's popular enough to hang out with. This results in her thinking Rachel and Jess also would shun her. Abbey sees the interaction, and offers to spend time with her, having forgotten he's committed to tutor Paulo and Mike. Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset.

Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing. After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on.

Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall. Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together. Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her. Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer. Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her. See [[Love My Way]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: This is a weird one, guys. It occurs on a Friday. While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.)</i><br />

|text='''Paulo & Jess''' (October 16): David notices Paulo and Lucy's bantering and asks Paulo if he and Lucy are a couple. When he reveals they made out but he stopped it from going further, David questions his masculinity. Feeling insecure, Paulo decides to hook up with someone and hits on Jessica, who is disinterested until he admits to Tess having a romantic attachment to him. She decides to weaponize the reputation Tess gave her against her by sleeping with Paulo. She takes him him to a 21+ club where they get tipsy and hook up in the bathroom, losing their virginities to each other. Afterwards, she makes him feel inexperienced while secretly feeling dirty herself. She suggests he ask Rachel out as she has a crush on her. See [[Back and Forth]] and [[Pillow Talk]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: It occurs after "Casting Call", which I've placed on the earliest possible date. Occurs on a weekday, but the club is hopping. I wanted to place it on Friday because of this, but moved it earlier in the week base on three constraints. One, it occurs after Casting call, which happens on October 15th at the latest based on the calendar. Two: If Paulo is helping Jasmine campaign two weeks before the student council election on November 5th, they must have their first date the week of the 15th. Three: Before asking Jasmine out, Paulo says he might get ready for tests on Friday. If it was a Thursday, he'd probably say "tomorrow". I guess the club is hopping on a Monday.)</i><br />

|text='''Paulo & Rachel''' (October 17): Paulo asks Rachel out. Lucy and Tess are both upset with him all day for dating people he doesn't really know while still having unresolved romantic entanglements with them. Rachel takes him to a drive-through movie theater where they hook up. She suspects he's a virgin and he's embarrassed again. While Rachel sincerely likes Paulo, she also wants to upset Tess.

Probably not a Friday as the drive through is dead. Can't be on a Monday as the drive through doesn't play movies on Mondays (stated in "Small Fry").

|text='''Lucy follows Augustus''': Lucy gets on Augustus's bus and follows him home. She discovers how far away he lives and what a bad neighborhood it's in. She starts wondering how she'll get home. She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor. She understands that he is going to see Alejandro. That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho. See [[Escape Route]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December. I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in. Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up. However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives. The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!)</i><br />

It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally.

|text='''December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out''': Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it. Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours. He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is. Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness. See [[December]] and [[Just Beautiful]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Dare I suggest this occurs in December? We actually have an exact date for it!

Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday? I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight. And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?)</i><br />

The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell. Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital. He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't. Mike supports him. See [[Breaking Up]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Occurs the day after the play.)</i><br />

Walking home, Paulo runs into Rachel and winds up finding comfort in her bed. Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof. Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong.

This does make it presented out of chronological order with "Seeing Stars", but "Rain Check" occurs the day after "Seeing Stars", so there is a non-chronological element built in and I don't feel bad about backdating it a little.)</i><br />

|text='''Play Fallout''': Jess's play causes friction in her friend group. See [[Method Acting]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: I figured the play would fall similarly to Sue's play. This technically occurs over two days (the show night and at school), but it didn't feel worth splitting up. Should occur very soon after the play as the friend group hasn't really discussed it (at least not with Jess) prior to this. David is in at lunch to witness the drama, so "Seeing Stars" can't occur the same day unless he went out afterwards. With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them. I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.)</i><br />

|text='''Melanie is discovered''' (c. August 20): Alejandro yanks at Melanie's hair, angry that her hairstyle reminds him of her ex. Augustus sits by, not intervening. Later, Augustus apologizes for not doing anything and Melanie says it was the right choice as it might make Alejandro suspicious. She kisses him. Toby witnesses this and reports her infidelity to Alejandro. Augustus returns to the apartment to discover Alejandro beating her, demanding to know who she was with. Augustus tries to pull him off her, and Melanie swipes his face, scaring him to protect him from scrutiny. He passes out and learns that Toby has dropped Melanie off at the hospital. He visits her there and she tells him the incident has made her grandmother decide to take her in. She'll be safe, but they won't be able to see each other again. Afterwards, Toby reveals he knows it was Augustus kissing Melanie. He uses this to blackmail Augustus, forcing him to be at his beck and call, lest he tell Alejandro of his involvement. Augustus is 14 or 15 depending on exactly when this falls. See [[Trapped]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Augustus is or is going to be a sophomore and Melanie is or is going to be a senior, placing it in the 2005-2006 school year or the summer preceding it. It occurs prior to Confrontation. There are leaves on the trees. Likely occurs over multiple days, but seemed best to just present as one entry.)</i><br />

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour, so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them. A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro. Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.

Daisy is shunned by Katie, who doesn't think she's popular enough to hang out with. This results in her thinking Rachel and Jess also would shun her. Abbey sees the interaction, and offers to spend time with her, having forgotten he's committed to tutor Paulo and Mike. Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset. Abbey, Paulo, and Mike go to Abbey's afterschool, where they meet Janet an Kevin. Mike talks with them about their family. Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing. After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on. The fight continues to escalate until a tearful Molly intercedes. Mike leaves, ashamed, and resolves to check on Daisy.

|text='''Love My Way: Carnival & Prom''': At school, Paulo asks why Mike is going on a date with Daisy. He denies that it's romantic and Daisy is offended by Paulo's criticism. Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall. Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together. Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her. Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer. Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her. See [[Love My Way]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: This is a weird one, guys. It occurs on a Friday. While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.)</i><br />

He encourages to act kinder to him, but also to look beyond him to the other friends who clearly care about her so her "obsession" doesn't wind up hurting her. When he goes back to the hotel, she walks in on Tess and Paulo getting frisky. She moves to Mike and Paulo's room and tells Mike that she needs to sleep there. She curls up with Mike on the floor after he's asleep, but gets up before he wakes. See [[Return]].<br />

She watches as Augustus steals dinner from a convenience store. They arrive at his house, where she sees his mother passed out on the couch. He brings her to his room, which is completely bare with just an exposed mattress and blanket on the floor. She understands that he is going to see Alejandro. That night, she has a nightmare about the events of Confrontation, in which Daisy, Paulo, and Sue. complain about her before Mike leaves her with Alejandro. She wakes hyperventilating and sobbing, with Augustus having no idea ho. See [[Escape Route]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December. I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in. Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up. However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives. The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!)</i><br />

|text='''December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out''': Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it. Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours. He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is. Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness. See [[December]] and [[Just Beautiful]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Dare I suggest this occurs in December? We actually have an exact date for it!

After Haley leaves to meet her friends, Mike struggles, having never babysat before. See [[Adult Supervision]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: This intermission does not occur in chronological order with the rest of the comic! We know Mike attends Tess's Christmas party and that Sandy's visit occurs the next evening, so it cannot occur between them where it appears in the comic. The exact placement is unclear, but it is in December based on calendar having writing matching the calendar shown in "December". Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike! However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help. It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.)</i><br />

He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines. Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere. The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children. After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends. After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down. See [[Curtain Call]], [[Breaking Up]], [[Double Down]], and [[Participation Trophy]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday? I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight. And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?)</i><br />

|text='''Critical Hit: The Art Museum''': At the art museum, Sue is frustrated with Paulo and David's childish antics and tries to police their behavior. However, she's struggling to connect to and understand any of the art herself. When everyone else pays to go to a gated exhibit, Paulo reluctantly does as well, feeling insecure as he overhears Sue and Mike talking about him bringing David's grades down. Upstairs, he is unimpressed with the offerings and he and Sue fight, with her saying she came upstairs to get away from him, him insulting her play, her saying Lucy couldn't keep his attention. Neither can relate to the art around them, and both feel empty. See [[Critical Hit]].<br /><i>(Date considerations: I'm assuming this is a field trip that happens on a week day.)</i><br />

They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf. This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left. If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely. 5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.<br />

They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour , so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them. A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro. Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.

|text='''The Pep Rally''' (April 3). Abbey is late to the pep rally because he was "talking to someone" and appears mildly scuffed; it later appears he roughed up Jay, one of the kickball bullies. Lucy sings beautifully but gets self-conscious. Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual. After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers. Paulo says she's made up for her past behavior, while Daisy follows Jess and Rachel's animosity, yelling at him to shut up while asking about why people who don't have anything to make up for don't get better treatment. After the rally, Tess tells Mike and Lucy what she was like last year. Lucy's opinion of her has fallen, but they don't reject her. Jay, one of the kickball bullies, apologizes to Tess, evidently after Abbey roughed him up. Abbey talks to Paulo about how Daisy is drifting away. Daisy thinks her friends won't want to talk to her after what she said about Tess, but gets invited to go to the mall with Katie, Rachel, and Jess. See [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c37/p8 A Different Side: The Pep Rally]. '''Date considerations:''' It clearly occurs not long after after Tess called Paulo on Friday in "Under Pressure", which would make it a Monday. He expects Mike to know about Tess by now, so having it on Tuesday feels okay. It occurs shortly before Easter break. (Easter 2007 was April 8th). '''Note:''' Even splitting up "A Different Side", there were too many tags for this chapter. That's what happens when three characters do things that draw everyone's attention. I cut "Yashy", "David & Lucy", "Lucy & Sue", and "David & Paulo".<br />

In that conversation, he's hyper-defensive of Abbey's suggesting he's leading Lucy on; I feel Sandy having asked him if he loves Lucy would make him sensitive to any implication that he loves her from outsiders, so I feel these conversations pair well. It seems to fall well with his attitude towards Lucy at this point; he defends her to Sandy and talks about her positively with Abbey, but by the time he and Abbey talks, he's also frustrated with Lucy's dependancy on him.<br />

|text='''School & Abbey's house''' (June 7). Paulo and Tess are excited about Junior Prom. Paulo's forgotten he has an essay due tomorrow and convinces Abbey to help him with it. Daisy is shunned by Katie, who doesn't think she's popular enough to hang out with. This results in her thinking Rachel and Jess also would shun her. Abbey sees the interaction, and offers to spend time with her, having forgotten he's committed to tutor Paulo and Mike. Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset. Abbey, Paulo, and Mike go to Abbey's afterschool, where they meet Janet an Kevin. Mike talks with them about their family. Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing. After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on. The fight continues to escalate until a tearful Molly intercedes. Mike leaves, ashamed, and resolves to check on Daisy.

|text='''Love My Way: Carnival & Prom'''. At school, Paulo asks why Mike is going on a date with Daisy. He denies that it's romantic and Daisy is offended by Paulo's criticism. Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall. Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together. Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her. Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer. Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her. See [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c39/p1 Chapter 39: Love My Way] and [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c39/p11 Love My Way: The Carnival]. '''Date considerations:''' This is a weird one, guys. It occurs on a Friday. While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.<br />

Paulo walks by and does a mix of trying to be supportive and trying to hit on her, which at least snaps her mood out of sad and into angry.

I wanted to place it on Friday because of this, but moved it earlier in the week base on three constraints: One, it occurs after Casting call, which happens on October 15th at the latest based on the calendar. Two: If Paulo is helping Jasmine campaign two weeks before the student council election on November 5th, they must have their first date the week of the 15th. Three: Before asking Jasmine out, Paulo says he might get ready for tests on Friday. If it was a Thursday, he'd probably say "tomorrow". I guess the club is hopping on a Monday.<br />

I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in: Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up. However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives. The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!<br />

|text='''Augustus opens up''' (estimated placement). Augustus tells Lucy about his history with Alejandro, Melanie, and Toby. She tells him he'll find a way out and that he's a survivor. She also tells him to fix his haircut. See [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c86/p34 Chapter 86: Trapped - Augustus talks to Lucy]. '''Date considerations:''' Makes the most sense after Lucy follows Augustus home. It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally. It makes less sense.<br />

|text='''December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out'''. Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it. Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours. He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is. Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness. See [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c68/p1 Chapter 63: December] and [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c71/p16 Ch 71: Just Beautiful: Lucy texts Sandy].

We also know it occurs on a Thursday based on Lucy's "We've still got Friday and the whole weekend!" comment. Thus, I present you the definitive date: December 13, 2007. Did you know December happens on Tess's birthday? It does! Same day! Boy do these kids have winter break start early! (December 18th, based on comments that Monday is the last day of school).

Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike! However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help. It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.<br />

Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere. The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children. After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.

Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday? I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight. And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?<br />

He says it's all Mike's fault and breaks down in tears, saying he doesn't want to lose his little sister. The penny drops for Mike and he takes a bus to the hospital, where he sees Lucy's mom and Sam talking to the emergency room receptionist. Lily tells him he shouldn't be here and that Lucy will be out in about a week. Yashy bids Mike farewell. Mike leaves and wrestles with his guilt, remembering Lucy and what their friendship was. He breaks down in tears outside the hospital. He goes to the tree he sits under, where Paulo finds him and punches him. Paulo breaks down crying, saying he was going to confess his love to her and now he can't. Mike supports him. See [https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p1 Breaking up]. '''Date considerations:''' Occurs the day after the play.<br />

Paulo finds him and punches him and then breaks down, despairing that he never got the chance to tell Lucy he loved her. Mike comforts him. Everyone struggles with Lucy's departure their own way. Walking home, Paulo runs into Rachel and winds up finding comfort in her bed. Abbey and Daisy watch a movie together. Sue cries and considers her play script. David has consolation cake. Lucy's family cries. Augustus sits alone on the roof. Mike returns home to discover Blur has left and talks with Sandy about that, not letting on that anything else might be wrong.

'''Date considerations:''' I figured the play would fall similarly to Sue's play. This technically occurs over two days (the show night and at school), but it didn't feel worth splitting up. '''Date considerations:''' Should occur very soon after the play as the friend group hasn't really discussed it (at least not with Jess) prior to this. David is in at lunch to witness the drama, so "Seeing Stars" can't occur the same day unless he went out afterwards. With "Rain check" occurring the day after "Seeing Stars", either Method acting shares a date with one of them or is presented entirely out of chronology with them. I'm putting Method acting on the same day as "Rain check" so the inclement weather budding in the day could explain why David doesn't go outside.<br />

They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.<br />

Toby witnesses this and reports her infidelity to Alejandro. Augustus returns to the apartment to discover Alejandro beating her, demanding to know who she was with. Augustus tries to pull him off her, and Melanie swipes his face, scaring him to protect him from scrutiny. He passes out and learns that Toby has dropped Melanie off at the hospital. He visits her there and she tells him the incident has made her grandmother decide to take her in. She'll be safe, but they won't be able to see each other again.<br /><br />Afterwards, Toby reveals he knows it was Augustus kissing Melanie. He uses this to blackmail Augustus, forcing him to be at his beck and call, lest he tell Alejandro of his involvement.<br /><br />Augustus is 14 or 15 depending on exactly when this falls.<br />

|title=Confrontation: Getting Mugged<br />
|summary=Tensions run high as Mike, Lucy, Daisy, Paulo, and Sue get lost after a trip to a museum to research a project for school and end up in a bad area. They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour , so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.<br />

Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual.<br /><br />After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers. Paulo says she's made up for her past behavior, while Daisy follows Jess and Rachel's animosity, yelling at him to shut up while asking about why people who don't have anything to make up for don't get better treatment.<br /><br />After the rally, Tess tells Mike and Lucy what she was like last year. Lucy's opinion of her has fallen, but they don't reject her.<br /><br />Jay, one of the kickball bullies, apologizes to Tess, evidently after Abbey roughed him up.<br /><br />Abbey talks to Paulo about how Daisy is drifting away.<br /><br />Daisy thinks her friends won't want to talk to her after what she said about Tess, but gets invited to go to the mall with Katie, Rachel, and Jess.<br />

Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on. The fight continues to escalate until a tearful Molly intercedes. Mike leaves, ashamed, and resolves to check on Daisy.<br />

|summary=At school, Paulo asks why Mike is going on a date with Daisy. He denies that it's romantic and Daisy is offended by Paulo's criticism. Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall.<br /><br />Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together.<br /><br />Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her.<br /><br />Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer.<br /><br />Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:'''<br /><br />This is a weird one, guys.<br /><br />It occurs on a Friday.<br /><br />While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:'''<br /><br />Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in:<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!<br />

It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally.

|summary=Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:''' This intermission does not occur in chronological order with the rest of the comic! We know Mike attends Tess's Christmas party and that Sandy's visit occurs the next evening, so it cannot occur between them where it appears in the comic.<br /><br />The exact placement is unclear, but it is in December based on calendar having writing matching the calendar shown in "December". Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike!<br /><br />However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help.<br /><br />It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.<br />

He starts trying to explain his concern for her given her absence, how glad he is to see her and how much he likes her, but Lucy interrupts him asking to make out. They proceed to hook up in the dressing room, with Paulo leaving just as Mike stops by to read some lines.<br /><br />Paulo returns to his seat, which Daisy kindly saved for him next to Jasmine, not knowing they broke up. Jasmine knows he's been to see Lucy and goes to sit elsewere.<br /><br />The show goes on as planned. The script casts Mike and Lucy's characters as estranged siblings, tasking Mike with Lucy's rescue. As they perform, Mike thinks of Lucy asking if he'd ever marry her when they were small children.<br /><br />After the show Mike talks to Lucy about potentially trying to start over. The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:''' Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?<br />

|summary=Daisy dotes on Paulo after the accident, much to Abbey's annoyance. Paulo kisses him on the forehead and tells Mike about it, who is surprised. Paulo becomes hyperconscious and insecure about his sexuality, lashing out at Matt when he came to invite him on a beach trip, much to Rachel's dismay. Paulo's distracted and on edge the rest of the day.<br /><br />Mike retrieves him to study, but is distracted and sad because Sandy hasn't responded in a few days. Paulo offers relationship advice and Mike is grateful.<br /><br />Paulo asks if Mike has ever liked a guy before and confesses that he might not be straight. Mike is supportive.<br />

They're sitting under a tree, which they didn't do before she and Mike were friends. (c110/p49) 2. It appears to be fall based on the falling leaves 3. It occurs before Mike kisses Lucy as he doesn't have a scarf.<br /><br />This leaves us with either fall of 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.<br /><br />If it's 4th grade, Lucy is asking this only a few months after Sandy left.<br /><br />If it's 6th grade, Lucy would be asking about marriage only to reject Mike only a few months later when he kisses her, which seems unlikely.<br /><br />5th grade seems to mitigate these issues. It also definitively makes her a liar about her first crush.<br />

|summary=It's Lucy's first kiss.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy play in the snow. He gets cold and they go into her house, where he calls his mom for a pickup because the weather is bad. Upstairs waiting, Lucy suggests he gets a scarf to keep warm. Mike confesses to "really really lik[ing] her" and kisses her. After a second, Lucy panics and pushes him off.

Augustus sits by, not intervening.<br /><br />Later, Augustus apologizes for not doing anything and Melanie says it was the right choice as it might make Alejandro suspicious. She kisses him. Toby witnesses this and reports her infidelity to Alejandro. Augustus returns to the apartment to discover Alejandro beating her, demanding to know who she was with. Augustus tries to pull him off her, and Melanie swipes his face, scaring him to protect him from scrutiny. He passes out and learns that Toby has dropped Melanie off at the hospital. He visits her there and she tells him the incident has made her grandmother decide to take her in. She'll be safe, but they won't be able to see each other again.<br /><br />Afterwards, Toby reveals he knows it was Augustus kissing Melanie. He uses this to blackmail Augustus, forcing him to be at his beck and call, lest he tell Alejandro of his involvement.<br /><br />Augustus is 14 or 15 depending on exactly when this falls.<br />

|title=Confrontation: Getting Mugged<br />
|summary=Tensions run high as Mike, Lucy, Daisy, Paulo, and Sue get lost after a trip to a museum to research a project for school and end up in a bad area. They they visit a bar, one of the only open establishments given the hour , so Sue can call her mom for a pickup. Mike takes up Alejandro's wager that he can't eat a bowl of liquor candy in under a minute. Although he succeeds, he gets drunk from the candy and runs down an alleyway following music until he finds its source, a radio, and smashes it. He and his friends are cornered by Alejandro and Toby, who try to mug them.<br /><br />A defiant Paulo is incapacitated by Toby's barking. Sue tries to reason with Alejandro and gets batted around. Mike intervenes but struggles to fight in his drunken state. Lucy incapacitates Toby and Alejandro's undivided attention falls on her. He makes threatening sexual advances and she smashes his jaw together, damaging his teeth. She thinks she's won and goes to check on Mike when he grabs her. The situation becomes increasingly dire, and for a horrible moment it seems no one will help her before Mike rejoins the fray. Together they rout Alejandro.<br /><br />Sue's mother picks up the kids, who lie and say their injuries came from play-fighting. Daisy talks to Paulo about being frozen through the whole fight.<br />

Daisy accidentally shows her underwear when she falls during the cheerleading routine, but leans into it as a way of being perceived as more sexual.<br /><br />After teacher-student games, Tess is shoved into the spotlight and jeered at by her peers. Paulo says she's made up for her past behavior, while Daisy follows Jess and Rachel's animosity, yelling at him to shut up while asking about why people who don't have anything to make up for don't get better treatment.<br /><br />After the rally, Tess tells Mike and Lucy what she was like last year. Lucy's opinion of her has fallen, but they don't reject her.<br /><br />Jay, one of the kickball bullies, apologizes to Tess, evidently after Abbey roughed him up.<br /><br />Abbey talks to Paulo about how Daisy is drifting away.<br /><br />Daisy thinks her friends won't want to talk to her after what she said about Tess, but gets invited to go to the mall with Katie, Rachel, and Jess.<br />

Mike spending time with him hurts Daisy all the more, and she leaves upset.<br /><br />Abbey, Paulo, and Mike go to Abbey's afterschool, where they meet Janet an Kevin. Mike talks with them about their family. Abbey is frustrated with Paulo, who did not read the books he needs to write about and doesn't contribute to the actual essay writing.<br /><br />After Mike leaves, Abbey and Mike talk about Paulo, with Abbey describing him as a "worthless imbecile" whom he hopes Tess won't keep entertaining and Mike coming to Paulo's defense, comparing Paulo to Lucy as someone it pays off to know, despite them being initially rough. Abbey gets mad about how Mike doesn't pay more attention to Daisy and the red flags that have been coming up with her. He says Mike is leading Lucy on. The fight continues to escalate until a tearful Molly intercedes. Mike leaves, ashamed, and resolves to check on Daisy.<br />

|summary=At school, Paulo asks why Mike is going on a date with Daisy. He denies that it's romantic and Daisy is offended by Paulo's criticism. Paulo and Tess are excited for the dance. Lucy tells Abbey she saw Augustus with Daisy at the mall.<br /><br />Tess and Paulo go to prom. Paulo is down because he overhears people gossiping about Tess. The night doesn't go as he hopes as Tess makes it clear that even though he's one of her best friends, they're going in different directions with her graduating in a year. She doesn't think they should date or wait for each other. They kiss, but it's with the understanding that they won't get together.<br /><br />Daisy takes Mike to the carnival for a romantic evening on Augustus's advice. She keeps pushing the romantic envelope. When Mike calls her out on it, she suggests Sandy isn't faithful to him. She kisses him and he rejects her.<br /><br />Upset, she runs off to be alone. Augustus appears to present himself as a romantic alternative. Daisy is distraught by his manipulations and rejects him, but he actively oversteps her boundaries, making her feel unsafe and not taking "no" for an answer.<br /><br />Abbey intercedes. Augustus goads Abbey with his's father's violence and he becomes distraught. Daisy smacks him for his behavior and realizes his ties to Alejandro. He leaves and she consoles Abbey, who tells her his family's story. Daisy tries to support him and appreciates how he's been looking out for her.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:'''<br /><br />This is a weird one, guys.<br /><br />It occurs on a Friday.<br /><br />While junior proms are often held in March or April, it seems to occur a week before the end of school, given that Daisy avoids Mike for a week after the carnival and that's when finals are ending. This is similar to how the 8th grade dance was a week or so before the end of school. Next year, we'll see the prom occur earlier in the year in a time that better matches with when proms are held, but this is where this one goes, I guess.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:'''<br /><br />Word of god places this chapter in November, but there isn't really enough time between "Call waiting" and but too many things occur between then and "On Our Own", which it must follow, for this to really be the case, so I've placed it in early December.<br /><br />I will note that I have a counter-reading of the chronology that places this in January, which I will outline below as I originally wrote before the author weighed in:<br /><br />Lucy's response to Augustus in "December" doesn't make sense if she already knows his living conditions; she's confused by him asking if she lives in a safe neighborhood. The trip has to occur later than this conversation. However, because of the school schedule, it can't occur any later in the month. December happens on a Thursday, with Monday is stated to be the last day of school before break. In this flashback, Lucy takes the bus to Augustus's one day and they have to wake up early for the long school commute the next day. There aren't two more consecutive school days left in the month of December, so it has to be in January after school starts back up.<br /><br />However, I will note that I suspect the intended placement of this chapter was in November/early December. There are weather factors in this (There isn't snow on the ground and there are leaves on some background trees). This flashback originally was an alternate version of "On Our Own", which probably influenced why. Let's say it's a bit warmer/got less snow where Augustus lives.<br /><br />The other consideration for an earlier date is. Well. The light in Lucy's eyes, which I consider a more compelling factor for arguing an earlier date than the tree analysis. However, I can buy Lucy getting joy from pestering Augustus in a dark moment more than I can buy Lucy reacting the way she did in December if she had followed him home. Your own analysis may differ!<br />

It recontextualizes this conversation as an explanation about why he spends time with Alejandro, which she would need after her revelation in "Escape Route". If you put it before "Escape Route", then she follows him home knowing he lives in abject poverty and hangs out with people who are extremely dangerous, plus she has the clues to figure out that they're extremely dangerous to her personally.

|title=December: Mike & Lucy Fall Out<br />
|summary=Ahead of winter break, there's one group project for history: an essay with assigned partners. Mike and Lucy are paired up after he has an outburst, much to his displeasure. They go to the library to crank it out, where they run into Augustus. While Mike gets books, Lucy asks him about how he deals with rejection and confesses that she is suicidal. Augustus is not particularly sympathetic and points out things she should be grateful for, such as safety and loving parents. He tells her that he's made his peace with Daisy not being interested in him and that Daisy's happiness keeps him going, even if he can't be a part of it.<br /><br />Mike and Lucy return to Mike's house to work on the essay, and Lucy initiates some gaming. They are genuinely having fun with each other and enjoying each other's company until Mike gets a text from Sandy letting him know she'll be in the area next week. He's elated by the news, but his mood towards Lucy instantly sours.<br /><br />He reveals that his conversations with Sandy made him realize that Lucy does not treat him well all of the time. He tells her his intentions to leave the table after the play in January. He outlines his expectation for all of his friends to follow him, leaving Lucy alone. He declares he hates her, calls her a parasite and suggests that no one could love her for who she is.<br /><br />Mike runs out to tell his mom the good news and Lucy throws up. She texts Sandy from Mike's phone saying she'll leave him alone. She takes the garbage liner and leaves Mike's brushing off his concerns about the essay by saying she'll do the work and leave it in his locker. Lucy runs home crying, thinking about Augustus's words about being happy for someone else's happiness.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:''' Dare I suggest this occurs in December? We actually have an exact date for it! We know it's the week before Sandy's visit on December 21st. We also know it occurs on a Thursday based on Lucy's "We've still got Friday and the whole weekend!" comment. Thus, I present you the definitive date: December 13, 2007. Did you know December happens on Tess's birthday? It does! Same day!<br /><br />Boy do these kids have winter break start early! (December 18th, based on comments that Monday is the last day of school). I'm jealous.<br />

Unfortunately, we can't see if it's before Sandy's visit is added to the calendar or not. Move your head, Mike!<br /><br />However, I am placing it after "December" as Mike thinks of calling Lucy for advice and feels like it's bad timing to ask her for help.<br /><br />It's likely a Friday or Saturday evening considering his parents are out late.<br />

The show goes off without a hitch. Rachel, Jasmine, David, Abbey, Paulo, Daisy, Madison, and a lot of the track team attends.<br /><br />After the play, a producer tries to recruit Lucy to for a music career. She turns him down.<br />

|note='''Date considerations:''' Paulo says "School has been back a week". Normally school resumes shortly after New Year's. We know it occurs in January and the next day is a school day. While I believe in my heart of hearts that school plays should be performed on Fri/Sat/Sun, Roseville is weird and it seems to happens on a Thursday. Who has a school play only on Thursday?<br /><br />I say this as it is definitely followed by a school day (the kids talk about the producer's offer "yesterday") which seems to be followed by a weekend day ("Study Buddy"). It's possible there is more time that elapses in "Leaving Home", but it would only be a day or two; it's hard to imagine a whole week elapses before Mike and Paulo's fight.<br /><br />And so, the play happens on a Thursday. Weird, huh?<br />

He wakes to his phone ringing and is disappointed when it's Paulo. They fight about his relationship with Sandy.<br /><br />Breaking down, Mike finally gets in touch with Sandy, but she breaks up with him, revealing she's in love with her hairdresser, Francis.<br /><br />Mike leaves home seeking solace and encounters Lucy. She lifts his spirits and he kisses her.<br />

|note='''Date notes:''' Sandy called "a couple weeks ago". It happens on a school day and is followed by another school day.<br /><br />In "Burnt Bridges", which occurs very shortly afterwards, Madison describes it as being "a week from winter break". Winter break started Dec 18th the previous year. (See notes in "December".)<br /><br />WE SEE MIKE'S LOCKSCREEN BUT IT NO LONGER SAYS THE DATE! HOW COULD TAESHI DO THIS TO ME?<br />

<br />
The self-proclaimed anti-drama activist who somehow always ends up neck-deep in it, '''Sue''' is (sometimes) the main group’s voice of reason. While managing her own insecurities about being right and being accepted, she channels her energy into fixing everyone else's problems—whether they want her to or not.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Sue channels her problem-solving drive into big projects - coordinating SwordsVale gaming sessions, spearheading drama club productions, and even running for student council secretary in her sophomore year (though that particular campaign ended in defeat).<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p15}}</ref><br />
<br />
Her tendency to get involved in others' affairs often manifests in elaborate schemes. An active member of the drama club, Sue can kill two birds with one stone — crafting a script only she could be proud of to help heal a rift between her friends — just how helpful it was is up for discussion.<ref name=":0">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p1}}</ref> That being said, when the indirect approach doesn't work as well as she planned, she will reach out directly to her friends to offer support and apologies.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p14</ref><ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8</ref> <br />
<br />
Sue cares deeply about her friends, but she is often bogged down by two glaring insecurities: the need to be right, and the need to be accepted. Sue advocates for body positivity, only to declare "I.. I AM NOT!!" when [[Paulo]] calls her fat.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c81/p1}}</ref> She also butts heads with Paulo over the "correct" way to browse an art museum.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p21}}</ref> Sue's longing for acceptance from her peers goes as far back as [[Out of the Frame]], where she makes a club for being underappreciated, not even realizing she was already welcome at the lunch table.<ref name=":1">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c36.1/p4}}</ref> She's shaken by the idea that she might be considered a "loser,"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p5}}</ref> going as far as auditioning for the cheer squad to prove the idea wrong in [[Popularity Contest]]. <br />
<br />
Despite her apparent aversion to "drama," Sue sure likes to stick her nose in other people's business. Sometimes she wants to play fix-it, such as her play in [[Curtain Call]] meant to repair [[Mike]] and [[Lucy]]'s friendship. Other times, she's just particularly nosy, like how she interrogates [[Abbey]] on his relationship status with [[Jasmine]] in [[Moments Apart]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c98/p13}}</ref> <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Sue is a European Burmese cat<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c9/p4</ref> with tan fur, brown eyes, and long, straight hair. While she occasionally wears clothes, she always wears a holly necklace. <br />
<br />
From middle school to the first semester of her freshman year, Sue sports a short and straight hairstyle cut into a bob, and wore a necklace with a round pendant. She first wears her iconic holly necklace in [[Feline Festivities]], and by [[Under Pressure]] had traded in her old pendant for her notable holly necklace. Her bob begins to grow out in the Silvershore arc, and Sue has let it grow longer since.<br />
<br />
== Significant events ==<br />
<br />
Sue's journey through Roseville High has been marked by her tendency to insert herself into situations - sometimes helping, sometimes...not so much. Her first notable endeavor was creating a club for "neglected background characters” in [[Out of the Frame]], though she quickly abandoned this project once she realized she was already welcome at the lunch table.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
Perhaps her most ambitious (and controversial) project came in [[Casting Call]], where she took it upon herself to write and direct a play. The secret goal? Mending Mike and Lucy's fractured friendship. The results? Well, let's just say her theatrical talents might have been better applied elsewhere.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Not one to be discouraged, Sue later threw her hat into student council politics in [[Feline Filibuster]], running for secretary against Abbey (and later Daisy). Despite her best efforts, she proved no match for Paulo's enthusiastic campaigning for Daisy.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p16}}</ref><br />
<br />
When crisis struck in [[Breaking Up]], Sue showed her more direct leadership skills. While others hesitated to check on Lucy, Sue took charge and knocked on her door.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p7}}</ref><br />
<br />
More recently, Sue has shown both growth and vulnerability. She made peace with her past actions by apologizing to Lucy in [[It's All in the Mind]], finally addressing the guilt she carried over potentially damaging Mike and Lucy's relationship.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8}}</ref> Her insecurities came to the forefront in [[Popularity Contest]], where she was so determined to prove she wasn't a "loser" to fellow [[SwordsVale]] player Stacy that she auditioned for the cheer squad<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p10}}</ref> - only to end up with a broken leg for her troubles.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p13}}</ref><br />
<br />
Her frustration with drama reached a boiling point during Witch Hunt, where she specifically invited Lucy - and only Lucy - to go trick-or-treating.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c105/p1}}</ref> When Mike inevitably picked a fight with Paulo and Daisy, Sue finally snapped, yelling "Does EVERY one of these outings have to end up in a screaming match?!"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c105/p29}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Major relationships ==<br />
<br />
=== Amaya ===<br />
[[Amaya]] is Sue's longtime best friend. A silent and proud support, Amaya and Sue share a lot in common: SwordsVale, theater, garage sale hopping<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p5}}</ref>, and more. Even though Amaya chooses to be mute, Sue is able to communicate with her regardless; when asked how the two of them even chat, Sue responds "She's far more fun than you'll ever be."<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/12705222051</ref> She was even willing to step aside to let Amaya have Mike back when he was a hot button item.<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/11917344149</ref> <br />
<br />
=== Lucy ===<br />
[[File:Rel suelucy.png|thumb|225x225px|Sue hugs Lucy.]]Sue and Lucy are particularly close, enough for Lucy to trust Sue to carry Yashy for her in [[Search and Rescue]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c43/p14}}</ref> and [[Mischief Night]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c57/p10}}</ref> Sue's always there for Lucy during the good times, but her time to shine tends to arrive when Lucy is struggling; when everyone finds out Sandy is real, Sue offers to buy Lucy a slushie, reminding Lucy "Mike's not your only friend, you know."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c51/p12}}</ref> Sue's grandest gesture to Lucy was the play she wrote to mend Lucy and Mike's friendship,<ref name=":0" /> which turned out to be disastrous; Lucy leaves Roseville shortly after.<br />
<br />
Upon [[Love Again|Lucy's return to Roseville]], Sue has been putting in the effort to be more observant. She doesn't pry when Lucy doesn't want to recall her time away,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p8}}</ref> and shoos away Paulo when Lucy doesn't want to sit at the lunch table.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p13}}</ref> As it turns out, Sue had been weighed down by guilt, feeling she was the one who ruined Mike and Lucy's friendship.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8}}</ref> Despite it all, the two still get along, if Lucy being convinced by Sue to go trick-or-treating in [[Witch Hunt]] is anything to go by.<br />
<br />
Sue is also the only person to call Lucy by the nickname "Elle."<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c57/p9</ref><br />
<br />
=== Mike ===<br />
As gifted kids who share a few things in common, Mike and Sue are friends whose notable feature is rarely having friction. Sue has always felt fondly about Mike, crying when he falls from a broken bridge in [[Search and Rescue]], and pulling him into a tearful hug upon discovering he survived his fall.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c43/p22}}</ref> At one point, Sue made up part of the gaggle of fangirls surrounding Mike, vying to be his girl of choice in [[Prom Preparation]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c7/p3}}</ref> but those feelings now steer completely platonic. In fact, the idea of Mike confessing to her now makes her want to turn and run!<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/15687554309</ref><br />
<br />
Sue's attempt to mend things between Mike and Lucy turned out to be a disaster, but Sue still puts in the work to be a good friend to Mike, even if it requires being a bit nosy. When Mike slams Paulo's head into the lunch tray in [[High Expectations]], Sue runs after Mike to find out what's wrong.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p14}}</ref> Even Sue has her own limits, though; when Mike turns on her, she walks away, saying "I'm sorry, but I can't let you speak to me like this."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p21}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Paulo ===<br />
[[File:Rel suepaulo.png|thumb|Sue and Paulo yell at each other.]]<br />
Sue and Paulo... coexist. Paulo never misses a chance to make fun of Sue: whether it's calling her play lame in [[Casting Call]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p2}}</ref> insulting her cosplay in [[Guest of Honor]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c89/p33}}</ref> or reassuring her she is indeed a "loser" when Stacy snubs her in [[Popularity Contest]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p5}}</ref> he loves a chance to put Sue down. In spite of this, Sue doesn't shy away from biting back; she has particularly scathing things to say about Paulo in [[Behind Closed Doors]]. She acknowledges that she doesn't reserve these things to say away from Paulo, going on to say "Oh, I'm ALWAYS glad to tell him he's a moron to his FACE. He knows how I feel.".<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c120.1/p16}}</ref><br />
<br />
While most of their quibbling is surface-level insults, [[Critical Hit]] digs into some sore spots — Sue criticizes Paulo's dismissal of the art museum, extending it to his attitude toward courting Lucy.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p19}}</ref> Paulo shoots back at her that "at least he doesn't have to go around... pretending like [he] knew already."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p21}}</ref> Despite their shared vitriol, they can manage to ignore the other, such as during Daisy's birthday party in [[Moments Apart]].<br />
<br />
=== Abbey ===<br />
Sue and Abbey passively got along until their differing school politics came to light in [[Feline Filibuster]]. While debating Abbey for the role of school council secretary, Sue is appalled to learn Abbey's method of handling bullying would be expulsion,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p11}}</ref> claiming his view for the school would be "a fascist Roseville dictatorship."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p12}}</ref> She debates him into having a nervous breakdown,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p14}}</ref> only to ultimately lose to him when Daisy temporarily takes over his campaign on his behalf.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p17}}</ref><br />
<br />
Despite how strongly the two disagree on things, Sue gets along with Abbey just fine when playing SwordsVale. Even outside of games, Sue actually does care for Abbey's well-being; reminding him "it's not [his] life to live now" when it comes to protecting Daisy from Paulo in [[Moments Apart]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c98/p25}}</ref>, and checking on him when his drunk girlfriend confessed to Mike in [[Happy Hour]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c80/p32}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Minor relationships ==<br />
<br />
=== McCain ===<br />
[[File:Rel suemccain.png|left|thumb|233x233px|Sue and McCain share some kind of moment...]]<br />
Sue and [[Alec McCain|McCain]] shared a close bond, with McCain often acting as a voice of reason and support for Sue. In [[Out of the Frame]], they share a moment of romantic(?) silence.<ref name="comicpage-c53p2">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p2}}</ref> Something brewed between the two of them — though Sue doesn't care to admit it — when asked about it, she snipes "maybe it's in the FAQ because it's none of your business."<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/75260887635</ref><br />
<br />
In fact, Sue and McCain did date for some period of time! As the comic evolved, McCain's gimmick stuck out like a sore thumb, and he was relegated to minor appearances to keep him in readers' memory in order to deliver the punchline. Demands on why McCain was rarely present, however, led to the relationship's end and McCain's departure from the comic.<ref>https://bittersweetcandybowl.tumblr.com/post/148072816932/oh-no-mccain-isnt-coming-back-either-he-was-one</ref> This is referenced in [[Everyday Life]], where Sue mentions breaking up with her boyfriend over the summer.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/img/store/bci_everydaylife.jpg</ref><br />
<br />
=== Stacy ===<br />
[[File:Rel suestacy.png|thumb|145x145px|Sue and Stacy hanging out.]]<br />
Sue and Stacy are fair-weather friends, their best weather being when organizing for and playing SwordsVale, where Stacy can be nerdy in private. A storm brews whenever Stacy's secret passions threaten her social standing, though; in Popularity Contest, Stacy snubs Sue when she calls out to her and pretends to not know her when Sue confronts her directly. Sue threatens to kick Stacy from their SwordsVale guild and questions the value of Stacy's social status,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p7}}</ref> and it takes Sue breaking a leg for Stacy to consider her point of view.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p14}}</ref> Outside this incident, the two get along fairly well, cosplaying together in [[Guest of Honor]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c89/p31}}</ref> and Sue occasionally reviewing Stacy's poetry.<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/88082117017</ref><br />
<br />
=== Jessica ===<br />
Both active members in the drama club, Jessica and Sue are friends who both enjoy the written word. They bicker with each other when it comes to casting choices,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p6}}</ref> but otherwise get along just fine. When Sue tries out for the cheer squad in [[Popularity Contest]], Jessica says she "looks KILLER"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p11}}</ref> and is nothing but supportive about Sue's new path.<br />
<br />
=== Sandy ===<br />
Sue knows Sandy from photos in a nerdy magazine, as well as being vaguely familiar with her as Mike's long-distance girlfriend. They went to school together back in the day, but the pin-up was evidently much more memorable.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c94/p11</ref><br />

<br />
The self-proclaimed anti-drama activist who somehow always ends up neck-deep in it, '''Sue''' is (sometimes) the main group’s voice of reason. While managing her own insecurities about being right and being accepted, she channels her energy into fixing everyone else's problems—whether they want her to or not.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Sue channels her problem-solving drive into big projects - coordinating SwordsVale gaming sessions, spearheading drama club productions, and even running for student council secretary in her sophomore year (though that particular campaign ended in defeat).<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p15}}</ref><br />
<br />
Her tendency to get involved in others' affairs often manifests in elaborate schemes. An active member of the drama club, Sue can kill two birds with one stone — crafting a script only she could be proud of to help heal a rift between her friends — just how helpful it was is up for discussion.<ref name=":0">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p1}}</ref> That being said, when the indirect approach doesn't work as well as she planned, she will reach out directly to her friends to offer support and apologies.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p14</ref><ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8</ref> <br />
<br />
Sue cares deeply about her friends, but she is often bogged down by two glaring insecurities: the need to be right, and the need to be accepted. Sue advocates for body positivity, only to declare "I.. I AM NOT!!" when [[Paulo]] calls her fat.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c81/p1}}</ref> She also butts heads with Paulo over the "correct" way to browse an art museum.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p21}}</ref> Sue's longing for acceptance from her peers goes as far back as [[Out of the Frame]], where she makes a club for being underappreciated, not even realizing she was already welcome at the lunch table.<ref name=":1">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c36.1/p4}}</ref> She's shaken by the idea that she might be considered a "loser,"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p5}}</ref> going as far as auditioning for the cheer squad to prove the idea wrong in [[Popularity Contest]]. <br />
<br />
Despite her apparent aversion to "drama," Sue sure likes to stick her nose in other people's business. Sometimes she wants to play fix-it, such as her play in [[Curtain Call]] meant to repair [[Mike]] and [[Lucy]]'s friendship. Other times, she's just particularly nosy, like how she interrogates [[Abbey]] on his relationship status with [[Jasmine]] in [[Moments Apart]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c98/p13}}</ref> <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Sue is a European Burmese cat<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c9/p4</ref> with tan fur, brown eyes, and long, straight hair. While she occasionally wears clothes, she always wears a holly necklace. <br />
<br />
From middle school to the first semester of her freshman year, Sue sports a short and straight hairstyle cut into a bob, and wore a necklace with a round pendant. She first wears her iconic holly necklace in [[Feline Festivities]], and by [[Under Pressure]] had traded in her old pendant for her notable holly necklace. Her bob begins to grow out in the Silvershore arc, and Sue has let it grow longer since.<br />
<br />
== Significant events ==<br />
<br />
Sue's journey through Roseville High has been marked by her tendency to insert herself into situations - sometimes helping, sometimes...not so much. Her first notable endeavor was creating a club for "neglected background characters” in [[Out of the Frame]], though she quickly abandoned this project once she realized she was already welcome at the lunch table.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
Perhaps her most ambitious (and controversial) project came in [[Casting Call]], where she took it upon herself to write and direct a play. The secret goal? Mending Mike and Lucy's fractured friendship. The results? Well, let's just say her theatrical talents might have been better applied elsewhere.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Not one to be discouraged, Sue later threw her hat into student council politics in [[Feline Filibuster]], running for secretary against Abbey (and later Daisy). Despite her best efforts, she proved no match for Paulo's enthusiastic campaigning for Daisy.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p16}}</ref><br />
<br />
When crisis struck in [[Breaking Up]], Sue showed her more direct leadership skills. While others hesitated to check on Lucy, Sue took charge and knocked on her door.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c75/p7}}</ref><br />
<br />
More recently, Sue has shown both growth and vulnerability. She made peace with her past actions by apologizing to Lucy in [[It's All in the Mind]], finally addressing the guilt she carried over potentially damaging Mike and Lucy's relationship.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8}}</ref> Her insecurities came to the forefront in [[Popularity Contest]], where she was so determined to prove she wasn't a "loser" to fellow [[SwordsVale]] player Stacy that she auditioned for the cheer squad<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p10}}</ref> - only to end up with a broken leg for her troubles.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p13}}</ref><br />
<br />
Her frustration with drama reached a boiling point during Witch Hunt, where she specifically invited Lucy - and only Lucy - to go trick-or-treating.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c105/p1}}</ref> When Mike inevitably picked a fight with Paulo and Daisy, Sue finally snapped, yelling "Does EVERY one of these outings have to end up in a screaming match?!"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c105/p29}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Major relationships ==<br />
<br />
=== Amaya ===<br />
[[Amaya]] is Sue's longtime best friend. A silent and proud support, Amaya and Sue share a lot in common: SwordsVale, theater, garage sale hopping<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p5}}</ref>, and more. Even though Amaya chooses to be mute, Sue is able to communicate with her regardless; when asked how the two of them even chat, Sue responds "She's far more fun than you'll ever be."<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/12705222051</ref> She was even willing to step aside to let Amaya have Mike back when he was a hot button item.<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/11917344149</ref> <br />
<br />
=== Lucy ===<br />
[[File:Rel suelucy.png|thumb|225x225px|Sue hugs Lucy.]]Sue and Lucy are particularly close, enough for Lucy to trust Sue to carry Yashy for her in [[Search and Rescue]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c43/p14}}</ref> and [[Mischief Night]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c57/p10}}</ref> Sue's always there for Lucy during the good times, but her time to shine tends to arrive when Lucy is struggling; when everyone finds out Sandy is real, Sue offers to buy Lucy a slushie, reminding Lucy "Mike's not your only friend, you know."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c51/p12}}</ref> Sue's grandest gesture to Lucy was the play she wrote to mend Lucy and Mike's friendship,<ref name=":0" /> which turned out to be disastrous; Lucy leaves Roseville shortly after.<br />
<br />
Upon [[Love Again|Lucy's return to Roseville]], Sue has been putting in the effort to be more observant. She doesn't pry when Lucy doesn't want to recall her time away,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p8}}</ref> and shoos away Paulo when Lucy doesn't want to sit at the lunch table.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c95/p13}}</ref> As it turns out, Sue had been weighed down by guilt, feeling she was the one who ruined Mike and Lucy's friendship.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c103/p8}}</ref> Despite it all, the two still get along, if Lucy being convinced by Sue to go trick-or-treating in [[Witch Hunt]] is anything to go by.<br />
<br />
Sue is also the only person to call Lucy by the nickname "Elle."<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c57/p9</ref><br />
<br />
=== Mike ===<br />
As gifted kids who share a few things in common, Mike and Sue are friends whose notable feature is rarely having friction. Sue has always felt fondly about Mike, crying when he falls from a broken bridge in [[Search and Rescue]], and pulling him into a tearful hug upon discovering he survived his fall.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c43/p22}}</ref> At one point, Sue made up part of the gaggle of fangirls surrounding Mike, vying to be his girl of choice in [[Prom Preparation]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c7/p3}}</ref> but those feelings now steer completely platonic. In fact, the idea of Mike confessing to her now makes her want to turn and run!<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/15687554309</ref><br />
<br />
Sue's attempt to mend things between Mike and Lucy turned out to be a disaster, but Sue still puts in the work to be a good friend to Mike, even if it requires being a bit nosy. When Mike slams Paulo's head into the lunch tray in [[High Expectations]], Sue runs after Mike to find out what's wrong.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p14}}</ref> Even Sue has her own limits, though; when Mike turns on her, she walks away, saying "I'm sorry, but I can't let you speak to me like this."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c100/p21}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Paulo ===<br />
[[File:Rel suepaulo.png|thumb|Sue and Paulo yell at each other.]]<br />
Sue and Paulo... coexist. Paulo never misses a chance to make fun of Sue: whether it's calling her play lame in [[Casting Call]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p2}}</ref> insulting her cosplay in [[Guest of Honor]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c89/p33}}</ref> or reassuring her she is indeed a "loser" when Stacy snubs her in [[Popularity Contest]],<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p5}}</ref> he loves a chance to put Sue down. In spite of this, Sue doesn't shy away from biting back; she has particularly scathing things to say about Paulo in [[Behind Closed Doors]]. She acknowledges that she doesn't reserve these things to say away from Paulo, going on to say "Oh, I'm ALWAYS glad to tell him he's a moron to his FACE. He knows how I feel.".<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c120.1/p16}}</ref><br />
<br />
While most of their quibbling is surface-level insults, [[Critical Hit]] digs into some sore spots — Sue criticizes Paulo's dismissal of the art museum, extending it to his attitude toward courting Lucy.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p19}}</ref> Paulo shoots back at her that "at least he doesn't have to go around... pretending like [he] knew already."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c79/p21}}</ref> Despite their shared vitriol, they can manage to ignore the other, such as during Daisy's birthday party in [[Moments Apart]].<br />
<br />
=== Abbey ===<br />
Sue and Abbey passively got along until their differing school politics came to light in [[Feline Filibuster]]. While debating Abbey for the role of school council secretary, Sue is appalled to learn Abbey's method of handling bullying would be expulsion,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p11}}</ref> claiming his view for the school would be "a fascist Roseville dictatorship."<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p12}}</ref> She debates him into having a nervous breakdown,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p14}}</ref> only to ultimately lose to him when Daisy temporarily takes over his campaign on his behalf.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c60/p17}}</ref><br />
<br />
Despite how strongly the two disagree on things, Sue gets along with Abbey just fine when playing SwordsVale. Even outside of games, Sue actually does care for Abbey's well-being; reminding him "it's not [his] life to live now" when it comes to protecting Daisy from Paulo in [[Moments Apart]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c98/p25}}</ref>, and checking on him when his drunk girlfriend confessed to Mike in [[Happy Hour]].<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c80/p32}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Minor relationships ==<br />
<br />
=== McCain ===<br />
[[File:Rel suemccain.png|left|thumb|233x233px|Sue and McCain share some kind of moment...]]<br />
Sue and [[Alec McCain|McCain]] shared a close bond, with McCain often acting as a voice of reason and support for Sue. In [[Out of the Frame]], they share a moment of romantic(?) silence.<ref name="comicpage-c53p2">{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p2}}</ref> Something brewed between the two of them — though Sue doesn't care to admit it — when asked about it, she snipes "maybe it's in the FAQ because it's none of your business."<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/75260887635</ref><br />
<br />
In fact, Sue and McCain did date for some period of time! As the comic evolved, McCain's gimmick stuck out like a sore thumb, and he was relegated to minor appearances to keep him in readers' memory in order to deliver the punchline. Demands on why McCain was rarely present, however, led to the relationship's end and McCain's departure from the comic.<ref>https://bittersweetcandybowl.tumblr.com/post/148072816932/oh-no-mccain-isnt-coming-back-either-he-was-one</ref> This is referenced in [[Everyday Life]], where Sue mentions breaking up with her boyfriend over the summer.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/img/store/bci_everydaylife.jpg</ref><br />
<br />
=== Stacy ===<br />
[[File:Rel suestacy.png|thumb|145x145px|Sue and Stacy hanging out.]]<br />
Sue and Stacy are fair-weather friends, their best weather being when organizing for and playing SwordsVale, where Stacy can be nerdy in private. A storm brews whenever Stacy's secret passions threaten her social standing, though; in Popularity Contest, Stacy snubs Sue when she calls out to her and pretends to not know her when Sue confronts her directly. Sue threatens to kick Stacy from their SwordsVale guild and questions the value of Stacy's social status,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p7}}</ref> and it takes Sue breaking a leg for Stacy to consider her point of view.<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p14}}</ref> Outside this incident, the two get along fairly well, cosplaying together in [[Guest of Honor]]<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c89/p31}}</ref> and Sue occasionally reviewing Stacy's poetry.<ref>https://askbcb.tumblr.com/post/88082117017</ref><br />
<br />
=== Jessica ===<br />
Both active members in the drama club, Jessica and Sue are friends who both enjoy the written word. They bicker with each other when it comes to casting choices,<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p6}}</ref> but otherwise get along just fine. When Sue tries out for the cheer squad in [[Popularity Contest]], Jessica says she "looks KILLER"<ref>{{Cite chapter|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c109/p11}}</ref> and is nothing but supportive about Sue's new path.<br />
<br />
=== Sandy ===<br />
Sue knows Sandy from photos in a nerdy magazine, as well as being vaguely familiar with her as Mike's long-distance girlfriend. They went to school together back in the day, but the pin-up was evidently much more memorable.<ref>https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c94/p11</ref><br />
