Description

Panel One: Cal leaning out of the bathroom door, with DJ's hand in the foreground. Cal asks, "What's wrong with Fern? She's... Kinda harsh, but she seems okay." DJ's upraised hand is counting to four. "She's class president, dance team captain, on a bunch of student commitees, and she has the second-highest grades in the entire school."

Panel Two: DJ is propped up on his elbows, looking sullenly off to the side. "It's like she's coming after me," he says.

Panel Three: Cal has a small jar in one hand and is rubbing its contents onto his face with the other one. The label on the jar has a picture of a goose wearing a hat and says, "Silly Goose - Exfoliant - Sugared Peach" Cal looks sympathetic as he says, "She wants your spot, huh?" From off-panel, DJ answers, "Yeah! And she won't shut up about it!"

Panel Four: Wide panel with a chibi DJ in the middle making a mocking expression. He has what looks to be bits of Fern's wrappings on him as he impersonates her with some quotes. "I'm already done with all my homework. What about you?" "What out, DJ. I'm only two points behind you!" "How's that paper coming along?" "Big quiz today, DJ! Hope you studied!"

Panel Five: Shot from slightly up and behind Cal as DJ flops back onto his bed in exasperation, with his hands on his face and his feet in the air. "AUGH!" he says. Cal, from behind, is leaning out of the bathroom door again. He says, "Okay, so... She's not that great, but-"

Panel Six: Close shot of Cal leaning out of the bathroom door, a puzzled look on his face. He asks, "Why does she dress like a mummy?"

Author Note

Cal's trying to be diplomatic, he really is.

Sorry for the late update! I hit the "Save as Draft" button instead of the "Schedule" button. But in good news - I got into the Tapas Inksgiving for Small Creators program! This means that I can now accept Ink donations on Tapas. So, if you use Tapas, you can toss me some ink if you like! Whhhoooo!
