To Call or Not to Call, Page 1

TITLE

The title "to Call or Not to Call" appears in stylized cursive text, with a coiled phone cord winding down the left side of the page.

PANEL 1

A "Previously in No Time for Boys..." flashback panel shows a note with a phone number being passed.

NOTE: 555-6116, Call me

PANEL 2

A boy with long hair offers popcorn to Rachel at what appears to be a movie theater concession stand.

BOY: "For you... anything..."

PANEL 3

Rachel lies sprawled face-down on her bed in a black sweater, one arm hanging off the side. A landline telephone sits on a table nearby. The note with the phone number is in her hand. Her thoughts swirl around her head.

RACHEL (thinking): "Should I call him?"

RACHEL (thinking): "But shouldn't the boy be calling the girl?"

RACHEL (thinking): "Does he want a date, or does he just want to pool around?"

RACHEL (thinking): "Was he really interested or just toying with me?"

Nobody uses telephones like that anymore, but I had one like it growing up. Good heft in the hand.

    Did you accidentally submit the wrong page last night? I remembered a page about Tuna and his dating rules was up.

    Yes, I did I’m sorry.

    My parents still have a phone like that!

    It looks almost exactly like this one: http://www.houseofinteriors.co.uk/ekmps/shops/houseofint/images/black-retro-telephone-436-p.jpg
