Random FLASH: One of the more memorable titles of a readable Harlan Ellison story[1968 HUGO Winner actually] –
“The Beast that shouted LOVE at the Heart of the World”
Shawna AND Hiroshi are both behind her…. along w/ the rest of the club.
which means she will decompose right on the spot in embarrassment. forcing them to keep what’s left watered w/ a sun lamp on her till she grows back.
He’s behind you…. (probably)
yep
Beat me by a nanosecond, I do believe…
That’s my guess.
Well, of course he is.
This is fiction.
“Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction, after all, has to make sense!” -Mark Twain
…And we’re all wrong. >_>
So, who’s the SECOND most awkward person who could be behind her right now?
He’s right behind her… isn’t he…?
Waiting for the ‘camera’ to turn to Hiroshi… 0_0
“He’s right behind me, isn’t he?” Oldest trope in the book.
I remember Slappy Squirrel using it as a weapon against the enemy that had snuck up on her…
“Wait, you’re doing a Freeze-Take which can only mean that…”
“…(The dog’s name) WAS right behind me…”
Or, Shawna is behind her…
In either case, we can sum up the situation in the same three words.
Cover. Blown. Completely.
She really needs to get into yoga…
Or Hiroshi & Shawna are *both* right there
Too cruel…
Kissing…
Oh, crap, what if it’s her mom behind her? Or her grandma?
I’m pretty sure mom and grandma either know or have a very strong suspicion.
I’m also pretty sure that mom and/or grandma would have no problem with it.
Yeah, but they’re trying to find out who the boy is so they can embarrass the hell out of her.
Oh dear… this will not end well.
What happens when a half rosebush/half fusion reactor with the power of a small star is terminally embarrassed?
Find out tomorrow on Wapsi Square!
….or don’t as she will have managed to nuke the comic itself in embarrassment.
We interrupt this regularly scheduled drama….
and three…two…one…Here’s Johnny!
Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh. The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Bette Midler song the rose from the movie of the same name .
I thought it was Janis Joplin… The Rose
The song was written in 1977 by Amanda McBroom. Joplin was long dead by then.

Couldn’t make heads or tails of it when I read it—but I was a lot younger then.
What was the blast radius of a class S para teen emotional explosion again? Never mind… Looks like it will be time to redraw the map again…
I’m not sure, but I think Tokyo is about to cop it yet again.
Why? What is about to happen in Tokyo? Griffin High isn’t in Japan, Sali is the one going to school in Japan
Yeah no…. it doesn’t matter who’s behind her. We’re talking about a high school here… once uttered, nothing stays secret for long.
SNAFU Situation normal, all flowered up. 😁
I’m curious to know what form will Castela take when she turns and sees that Hiroshi is just behind her ^_^
Not only is he behind her but the “I think of you as a friend. . . blah, blah, blah” speech is on his lips.
ooooh that would end painfully for him
I hope this isn’t the tired old “he’s standing right behind you” trope.
Ugh.
Even if Hiroshi is standing right behind her, I’ve no doubt Paul will put delightful and unanticipated spin(s) into the mix 🙂
Paul is a master artist and writer at turning tropes inside out 😀

What if Hiroshi says he loves her?
Doesn’t anyone believe in happy endings around here?
Would that help? Or would Castella melt down/explode?
Happy endings are wonderful, yes. But sappy, amateurish, shipping fanfics are NOT what we expect around here.
Three words: Bud and Kevin.
HA! Now watch Hiroshi be standing right BEHIND Castela as she’s telling Scarlet all this…
