Scarlet's Witch Page #3

wish for nothing!

Everybody wants something.

Everybody wants something!

Sorry to bother you.

Hi, can I help you?

Yeah, I just moved in, so

I figured I'd meet

the neighbors.

So, hello.

Hello.

So, I'm Greg.

Scarlet.

Scarlet, I like that.

Okay.

Is that with one t or two?

Oh wait, don't tell me.

One.

Very good, one t.

I bet most people just make

Scarlett O'Hara jokes, huh?

Yeah.

I bet that gets annoying.

Yeah, it does.

Frankly I don't give a damn.

Well if you need

anything, I'll be next door.

It was nice to

meet you, Scarlet.

Yeah, it was nice

to meet you, too.

- Jeez, Megan!

- Sorry!

People cannot keep doing that,

just scaring other people.

Who was that?

I don't know, just

someone who moved in.

He's cute.

You didn't even see him.

I heard him.

You can tell?

I can tell everything,

about everyone.

Except for you, actually.

How do you mean?

You just flirted with a boy!

And I don't even

know if you know it.

Scarlet likes a boy!

Okay, I've got to go.

No, stay, girl talk!

I have a client.

Remedial calculus is

very big this season.

- You're no fun.

- And you are so sweet.

- Here you go.

- Thanks for the notes.

No problem.

You are a lifesaver.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You're that weird girl

everyone talks about.

Wow, what an incredibly

rude thing to say.

No offense or anything,

but what's your deal?

Nothing!

Right.

Oh hey, Dr. Carlson,

umm, sorry about

class the other day.

And today.

- You know, I don't get you.

- Excuse me?

One minute you're

like this A student,

and the next you

vanish into thin air.

I've just been busy, is all.

With what?

Work.

Something you're not telling me?

It's complicated.

Hmm, there's a phrase your

generation uses quite a bit.

I know, I know.

All the time you students are all

of a sudden about how complicated

your lives are, as if

it's all great with me?

You know what, Scarlet,

the world doesn't care.

Now, I'm just gonna

assume that this

is some temporary blip, and that

tomorrow or next

week or whatever,

that you'll get your

act together, right?

You're a bright girl,

you got a lot of potential,

don't throw it all away for some boy.

A boy?

I've been teaching a

lot of years, Scarlet,

it's a boy.

Trust me, it's not a boy.

Whoever it is, I'm not judging.

Umm, is there something I

could write for extra credit?

Don't worry about it.

Just don't send me

any more excuses,

I don't need any

more fairy tales.

Okay.

Thank you, so much.

No problem.

Thanks.

- Scarlet, what's up, huh?

- Umm, hey.

I'm just waiting for

the person I'm tutoring.

Waiting for a person?

What's up, what's wrong?

Nothing, umm...

There was

something different about Greg.
