Scarlet's Witch Page #4

Greg was helpful,

funny and real.

Whoa ho ho ho, let me grab

some of that for you, killer.

Oh, thank you.

Get a work out in or something?

- Thank you.

- Mmm-hmm.

You know Scarlet,

you're really awesome.

Well, thank you.

You probably have like a

million guys tell you that.

Not really.

What, like two million?

No.

Why wouldn't they?

You know how some

people are open books?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, I am a closed book.

I get it.

No you don't.

No, no sure I do.

I know I always

seem, gregarious.

Greg-arious, get it?

Crazy thing is, my last

name's actually Arious.

- No, it's not.

- But I mean, I wasn't always that way.

You know, not as a kid,

I had to work towards it.

It's like I'm playing

this character, Greg.

He's a better version of myself.

To hide the scared,

quiet kid inside

that doesn't know

how to communicate.

And he's still in

there, but be like this,

I get to meet pretty

girls like you.

I guess it's just

like, I'm finally

the person I've

always wanted to be.

You know, it's like magic.

Fake it 'til you make it.

That doesn't mean

you understand me.

You're right, it doesn't.

But I'll always try.

Okay, so what's

your real last name?

O'Hara.

- Shut up.

- It's true.

I think you should leave.

Understandable.

Hey.

I got your text, how did it go?

I don't know.

What do you mean, you

don't know, you were there.

Good, I guess.

Is he nice, is he respectful?

Yes.

That's very important.

You know, you don't have to

take care of me all the time.

Sometimes, I do.

Yes, you do.

My dad was really worried about me

moving in by myself after high school,

he didn't think I

would make any friends.

But I am glad that we met.

Yeah, I wish you were

a hot Irish guy, though.

Okay, Megan, I'm going to bed.

What, it's not that bad!

They're very good-looking!

Good night, Megan.

But thank you for

caring, though.

That was the worst test, ever.

I don't even want

to think about it.

You, plus me,

equals fun tonight,

that is the only math

I want to do right now.

Hey, you should

invite that cute guy

we met the other day.

- Greg?

- Pass.

He's got player

written all over him.

Besides, he's hooking

up with Julia.

Everybody's hooking

up with Julia.

What does that prove?

Scarlet!

Scarlet?

I think I failed the test.

- Megan.

- What's going on?

I'm just looking for Scarlet.

Have you tried your apartment?

Yeah, I can't find her anywhere.

She's not picking up her phone.

Come on in.

I just don't know if this is

how she should be playing it.

She just came out of her

shell, for the first time.

And then she just

latches onto this guy.

I just don't know how

to talk to her about it.
