PAGE 1, PANEL 1

At school lockers. Lyle talks to Sparrow (a blonde girl) while Rachel approaches in the background.

LYLE: "Finals are next week. You have to practice those equations really hard, okay?"

SPARROW: "Yeah, yeah, I'll get to them."

SFX: tink tink

Rachel calls out to Lyle while Sparrow walks away in the foreground.

RACHEL: "Lyle!"

LYLE: "Hey, Rachel!"

PAGE 1, PANEL 3

Rachel nervously approaches Lyle. A Magic: The Gathering card poster is visible on the wall.

RACHEL: "Umm, I was thinking..."

LYLE: "Would you like to do something?"

RACHEL: "Like what? Study three times a week instead of two?"

LYLE: "Well, you used to play Magic the Gathering, right? Would you be up for a game for old time's sake?"

Rachel looks pleased while talking to Lyle.

RACHEL: "Yeah, that'd be cool."

LYLE: "Awesome! How about next Friday around five?"

PAGE 1, PANEL 5

Lyle declares it's a date while Rachel celebrates enthusiastically in the background.

LYLE: "It's a date!"

RACHEL: "YES!!"

Look at Bob in that last panel! What does that put out expression mean? Wouldn’t he be happy to see Lyle showing interest in someone other than Sparrow? Honestly, I don’t know why I drew him like that. He looks disappointed to me. Hmm…

Notice Lyle’s hand on Sparrow up top? If you ever want to know if a guy is attracted to you, ask yourself, “Has he ever touched me without me touching him first?”
