And, ha, honestly, why would it be her?
Even in his book, Sonia seems... well, fine! Not the kind of person he'd seek out company or conversation with (which, mind, is entirely because she's too mature), but not like someone who'd try to keep him down or who'd attempt to be domineering or a killjoy, either. He'd default to sort of just... casually acknowledging that she's around and maybe talking to her (or at least trying to) here and there for the heck of it because, c'mon, they know some of the same people and external engagement is external engagement, but alas, his... proverbial hackles go up around her because he sees her as... competition for attention and favoritism, and his vampiric ego is having none of that - essentially, though he'd be loathe to admit this to himself and aggressively denies the idea to himself, he sees her as/thinks she might actually be the top dog on campus where Ibuki, the first-ever person he's really gelled with and enjoyed, is concerned, and he... is only really capable of taking to not getting his way or not being at the top of the food chain brattily.

say one thing about her not caring and its not going to go well
she really wants to like him but he makes it so! god! dang! hard! this is why we can't have nice things
no subject
And pff, if absolutely nothing else, him saying she didn't care wasn't... actually personal, rather than him just throwing a flipping tantrum and hurtling along an "IF THIS THING I WANT TO HAPPEN ISN'T HAPPENING, IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEONE'S FAULT, AND THAT SOMEONE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ME!" denial rail of thought into taking it out on people he's already huffy with regards to - still! What one says cannot be taken back, even if he was... the kind of person to care enough about what comes out of his mouth or whether or not his ego affords making concessions to take things back, whether or not it's even honestly.
Who knows? Maybe things... will smooth out, at some point! 8,)b Maybe. But in any case, I, too, am excited to see what kind and degree of mess this will go on/continue to be.

WELL. With regards to in-person matters (although these two need not be divided much longer, in all probability), Lucas's thoughts on him boil down, essentially, to I'm going to strangle him if I ever see him again; he... hates people getting the better of him, and looking back on messages he sent while he was dosed, his vampire pride's having him convinced that he was made to look like a complete idiot by his injection.
That feeling would not have been one he'd have immediately acted on in the party log if he wasn't drunk off his ass, albeit!
His opinion of AM on the network, meanwhile, is... mixed! While he's well-aware that AM likes to hurt people for fun and that for Lucas himself the entertainment that comes out of that and screwing around with them comes from the same place, they're... separate facts, in his head, when it comes to AM, he got the sense that AM was trolling him when he had no patience for it in their last couple of RSDOS conversations, and both takes it personally and holds it against him.
Still, he can appreciate a guy having similar interests and opinions, if in an okay, what kind of gratification can I get out of this? way, and, well, AM has made it clear he may be a source of or route to some useful knowledge! The sum of it is that while he doesn't like AM (in fact, he leans toward... resenting him, and considering him a "frenemy" to some extent), he's certainly actively interested in him and continued interaction.

But that said, goodness, Lucas used to think of himself as a bullied kid (which... he was, at one early, early point in his life! Who knows whether or not even back then he was kind of the problem), and thus far, both on the network and thus far in person, he's seen Butters as, essentially, a chance to flip the script. Not as an outlet, even, but for the heck of it - and not that he isn't normally a bully, to put it lightly, but with Butters, well... it manifests in a more "mundane" way than it does with others. Lucas has some arguable, grudging practical respect for other monsters (when nobody will die if you either get bored of them or they know too much about you, you kind of need to behave yourself to some extent around them lest they undermine what you've built up to be a pretty darn happy life in retaliation), but Butters comes off to him so far as... normal, harmless, and someone who looks the part of an archetypal easy target and, therefore, someone who'd make for quick and easy fun to poke at with sticks and try to screw with the head of.
In other words! Monster life is to Lucas what a "normal" life is to your average Joe, and on that playing field, he gauges Butters as equivalent to "nervous, stammering nerdy kid who would be easily-tripped into dropping their books".

He hasn't connected Lucas to his online presence but there he's just kind of "what are you, psycho?"

The fact that this means he reads him as basically harmless along with aforementioned encouragement and lack of anything critical/controlling coupled with the fact that he clearly has experience in at least one area of information that Lucas is completely out of his depth in, however, sets things up so that Lucas... is at the moment, as close to regarding or comfortably considering Faust as an authority figure as he can come with anyone.
Help him get the girls, Faust. 8,(

It... is no secret indeed that these two do not like each other! But Lucas's being outright... petty and hostile isn't about any personal/personally-based element to it - heck, his trolling would probably take on more typical and arguably-detached forms if it had anything to do with L on an immediate level. In fact, even his picking at and actively, vocally disliking personality things - e.x. he finds L pedantic and full of himself; outside of arguments or turning these things likewise-personally on him, he'd simply mark these things as "facts" that could be used as points to poke at or navigate around for the most part - is fueled entirely by seeing and being mortally offended by L as a perceived threat and imposition of an at-least-would-be obstacle to the downright paradise-like life he's been living as a monster; he's not actually... afraid of L - his pride has been given no reason to drop to a level of "I, myself, might seriously get in trouble someday" - but he sees him as an infringer on the territory of his freedom, and nothing freaks him out or frazzles him like that. His bickering with him is perceived as a way to get into minor scraps and at least by perception try to whittle away at things - it's the same kind of sentiment as egging the house of someone who was really, really rude to you who you can't get back at in a bigger way; he can't even genuinely enjoy outwardly-playful reactions with him with being unable to think about the guy without raised hackles and entering angry-conflict mode.
