I turn away from Sei's door after she shut it in my face. I'm not going to cry. I am NOT going to cry. I'm not - damn it! I can't even make it back to my room. I just slide down the wall next to me and sit there curled up into a pathetic little ball with tears running down my face. I had always thought it was funny when Sei told me she had had a crush on Suyeon - mainly because she always talked about it in the past tense, so I figured it was safely in the past. I'd even about it, and apparently that was just rekindling it - if it had ever been gone at all! - and now she's shut herself in her room with Suyeon and I'm sitting outside the door, crying. Suddenly I notice a shadow passing over me, and next thing I know Lua's kneeling in front of me, looking into my eyes. I manage to focus my attention on her, just as she starts talking. "Hey! Lucy! What's going on? You've been. . . crying? What's wrong? Is there something I can do to help?" I look up at her. She's always so cheerful, always ready to help anyone who's down, so of course she finds me when I'm like this. Suddenly I remember Rina and Elly telling me about finding Lua and Suyeon making out on the stairs but apparently wanting to keep their relationship secret, and I know I understand why: Suyeon planned to be dating Sei while she had Lua as a side chick. Then the though occurred to me: If I can break up Lua and Suyeon, then win Sei back from her, then Suyeon will be left all alone and she'll see that she shouldn't mess with me. Apparently I was lost in thought for longer than I realized, because Lua was becoming increasingly frantic: "Lucy? Lucy! Talk to me! What's wrong?" I blink away the last of the tears and look at her. It takes me a second, but I remember how to make words again. "I'm just frustrated," I say. "I had thought Sei and I were going to spend the evening together, but instead she's doing that makeover on Suyeon and doesn't even want me in the room!" Lua reaches out and hugs me. Lua gives good hugs. It makes me feel so much better that I have to work to maintain my spark of anger at Suyeon. "It'll be okay," she says. "It's just for one evening. And what about me? I can't even go into my own room because of Suyeon's makeover! You and I should hang out together. We'll be the 'Displaced Because of Suyeon's Makeover Club'!" I can't help laughing at this, and actually feel a little better. Lua's so sweet. No wonder Suyeon wants her. Suddenly I've got an idea: "I know! Let's go to my room and I'll do a makeover on you!" Lua shrugs. "Sure," she says, "if it'll make you happy, I'll be your Barbie doll." Knowing how Lua feels about it when we have to do makeup for appearance, I recognize what a sacrifice she's making for me. I stand up and take her hand, and we walk to my room. Well, mine and Rina's. But Rina's off with Elly most of the time, so it might as well just be mine. I have Lua sit down on my bed, then go to get a spray bottle of water. When I get back, she asks "what did you have in mind for a makeover?" I look over from where I'm getting my makeup and curlers out of my dress. "I was thinking I'd do your hair in ringlets, then do your make up, then dress you up in my Lolita dress." As I'm bringing the stuff over to my bed, I can see that Lua looks surprised when she exclaims "You've g
