Drama: A Graphic Novel

Callie runs into Matt, who is making photocopies of the play’s audition flyer in the school’s office area. She compliments his flyer-making skills, telling him that the design crew could use them.

Callie then begins putting the flyers up. While doing so, she meets twin brothers Jesse and Justin. Justin has a bombastic, enthusiastic, and friendly personality—in contrast to his quiet, shy, and modest brother. Justin immediately introduces both himself and his brother to Callie, and says that he absolutely cannot wait to audition for the play. He also says that Jesse—who himself claims that he is not good at acting or singing—is actually highly talented in the theater arts.

Callie tells the brothers that she’s surprised she hasn’t seen them around school before this meeting, and Jesse tells her that their father is very strict about grades, so they spend most of their time studying. He also tells her that, although their father is allowing Justin to audition for the play, he will likely require Jesse to be the dutifully obedient son—who will bury himself in books when he goes to high school next year.

Justin returns to the conversation.
