I think I already made it clear that I really didn't like Gumi.

I've been trying to make that clear to her, so that she can shut up once in a while, maybe enter and leave a room quietly, try not to start a conversation with me. I've been told I lack tact, and since I like that, I did it my usual way.

Gumi, leave me the fuck alone.

Believe it or not, she got angry. Maybe a little sad, because I broke the illusion of her perfect little world, but she showed anger. That changed things for a little.

And then we got in a fight. Boy, she fights like she lives: loud and annoying.

I told her she was just that, and way too happy for anyone's good, bothersome, and that she should wear something else.

I think I won that fight. I got to leave her in a stunned silence.

The thing is, I told this story to Luka the day after. We were alone at a cafe, as I requested, outside of the mansion and outside of the studio; basically anywhere Gumi creeps around, we were avoiding. Well, I was avoiding her. And Luka had the nerve to smile at me. She said it sounded like jealousy. Needless to say, I got mad. How can I possibly be jealous? Then she said I was in denial.

Denial? The mighty Masuda Lily does not deny, I said. She looks at stuff straight in the face and dares the other to blink first, I said.

Then she told me to face it, if I was so great.

I left in a rage.

Now Gumi is ruining my friendships, too.
