Yeah Lucas might’ve gotten jealous but he also saved Athy from the awkward situation between her and Ijiekiel since she looked like she felt uncomfortable with what he said and was stuck on what to reply to him. I do like Ijiekiel too since he has also been there for Athy but i prefer Lucas cause she seems more comfortable and at ease with him compared to Ijiekiel. Even when at Ijiekiels house, she never knew what to say in conversation with him but with Lucas she’s free to be herself. And for those saying that Lucas is a grown man inside the body of a child and is acting like a prepubescent child, you’re obviously forgetting that Athy is exactly the same (She’s also a full grown woman in the body of a child, so if you’re gonna complain about Lucas, don’t forget that Athy is the same). In fact, at the start of the chapter she was acting like a child throwing a tantrum sooooO— i still love her though and that’s what i like about her and Lucas. They have different sides to them and actually display different emotions instead of being 1 dimensional and stoic 24/7.
