“I miss you, but I can’t be seen with you.”
“I don’t care what your parents say!”
“No, it’s not them. It’s my friends. They make fun of your freaky mood hair. I mean jeez, is it blond? Black? Who the hell knows! Also, I do kinda prefer getting to use my iPhone every day over seeing you.”
“OK, well let me just suck the life-force out of you then. I’ll bottle it up and look at it fondly while flipping pizzas.”
Back at practice…
Wow, Cassie may be the only character who actually makes any sense. How long do you think Gil and Mimi would have lasted at a real school if this was the kind of crap they tried to pull every single year?

Yeah, this is going to go over well with Cassie’s parents.
Cassie, you’re late again. Where have you been?
It’s okay, Mom and Dad, Coach Thorp got me a tutor to help with my point guarding. I stayed late at practice working on how to be more like Micah Huang’s sister.
We don’t know what that means.
Yeah, I’m not sure either.
Well, I’m sure Coach Thorp knows what she’s doing. Besides, focusing on basketball is a much better use of your time that hanging out with creepy, twentysomething dropouts who work dead end jobs.
Um…yeah, about that…

Ray and Cassie are alien lizards from another galaxy! Or Valley Tech!

Cassie’ll have sex with lazy dropouts; she just won’t respect them.

Jeez, Mimi. You’re not supposed to TELL the kid she’s being tutored by a creepy dude with a mop; you’re just supposed to let him show up at practice and whisper vague, weird instructions at her from the sidelines. (“Psst! Throw the ball toward the hoop! And jiggle more!”)
Also, Ray and Cassie seem to have bad breath, a la Spongebob and Patrick in that one cartoon where they ate the peanut/onion/ketchup sundae.

Haha Jules, you beat me to that!
Anyway, did Cassie shave her head between panels two and three?
Jason, if this was the real world Gil and Mimi would have been fired fifty years ago.

Nice to know Çassie has such a well-developed sense of personal dignity. She may be spreading her legs for a pizza flipper with a soul patch — but let herself be coached by a janitor? No way!
