Mrs. Shipulski! You told me there weren't any new girls in sixth grade!
There aren't
But I just MET one!
Nate, there's only one new student at P.S. 38 who's a girl...
...and she's in SEVENTH grade.
Seventh grade?
An OLDER WOMAN!
Ok so Mystery Girl is a grade older than you. That doesn’t mean you can stop trying. Like that time you fell in love with Sasha Coshen, or Mrs. Godfrey’s niece. Never give up Nate!
Must be a different school system than the one I know. Grade school was up to Grade Six and Junior High was Grades 7, 8 and 9. There was a vast gulf between them, and they were not in the same school.

Uh, oh… Kids at that age might as well think that someone a year older than them is going to sit on the porch and hand them a Werther’s Original®!

Don’t worry Nate, you’re not a normal 6th grader you should have graduated by now.

Tbh I´m guessing it will end in half a failure. That she ends up with someone from her own grade, but they stay friends.

She could be younger than Nate but has skipped a grade or two. In that case, she would be smarter (in terms of education) than Nate or Gina.

Ben Franklin would approve – in a letter of advice to a young man, he recommended seeking out an older woman for a mistress.

I couldn’t help imagine a “dun dun dahhhhh” drama riff to my mind’s ear when I scanned in the last panel.
Ask the girl to dance, Nate. Ask the girl to dance.
