Drama: A Graphic Novel

It’s the night of the formal. Callie surprises Jesse by wearing the vintage gown from the costume vault that she loved. Jesse gives her many compliments on how she looks and they depart. They share dinner at a Japanese restaurant with Liz and Justin, and then they all arrive at the dance.

During a slow dance, Callie hugs Jesse close to her. But Jesse soon tells her that he has to go to the bathroom. Initially, Callie busies herself by talking to her friends, but soon begins to wonder what is taking Jesse so long. She asks a boy named Pat, who happens to be going into the boy’s restroom, to look for Jesse in there. Pat emerges and tells her that he isn’t there. Callie, panicking, begins looking everywhere for Jesse. She is spotted by Liz, who takes her into the bathroom to help her calm down. There, Callie begins to cry. She tells Liz that Jesse lied to her about going to the bathroom and then went missing—and also that she hasn’t seen West anywhere.

The two then share a laugh after Callie realizes she’s smeared her mascara everywhere.
