Audrina

Where are the 18% who voted for someone else? I just wanna talk... 👀

ryucito

I love when Charlie is self-confident

boombroadcast

A landslide! It’s what he deserves. And they found a quiet spot to recharge. 💕 (I hope Tara gets help cleaning up after the party’s over lol)

Sarah 🤍

alice, my favorite part of this whole page is the bird peeping out of the bottom left corner of the second panel 🥹😂🤍

Merel

Idk what it is, but there's something so sweet and special about their hair overlapping when they're leaning against each other.

Loveislove

We can trash the cowboy hat by Charlie's side because 1. It gets in the way of kissing and 2. Nick needs to run his fingers through Charlie's hair 💖.

John Deuel

Learning to handle growing as individuals while growing as a couple is quite challenging. Nick and Charlie are going to show us that it can be done, even if there are some bumps along the way. 🤗

Tina

them escaping a party to talk to each other? GASP that's never happened.

Tina

poor polly the parrot being squished under nicks rugby arms

Raeee✨

Escaping parties is their thing 😇 Kiss your boyfriend, Charlie. He needs some reassurance. ✨

Merel

She's sitting safely in the corner next to Nick's cowboy hat 😄

Ania W.

Looking at today's page, my first thought was the description of Nick and Charlie in Radio Silence. Frances described them as confident, and today I see that change in Charlie. I hope Nick will feel that confidence soon too.

Meeghan

Yes!! Go Charlie!! 82% 🥹

Ann-Marie Still

God, I love this so much. Nick looks so in awe of Charlie 🥹🥹🥹

Ciara

Wow Charlie! Go you! ‘I feel like we’re always escaping parties to hang out together’ 🫠

Bluest JM

where's horsey? parrot in a heap...

Loveislove

This page feels like the aftermath of the election. That has taken up so much time and energy and support. It has resulted it such confidence and growth for Charlie and important culture change for the school touching the lives of many. Nick has been a powerhouse of support behind Charlie, perhaps feeling a little lost in it all. Seeing the two of them alone with that huge crowd down the hall feels like a refocus. Nick confesses he hasn't had chance to talk to Charlie...maybe in a long time...and Charlie is now looking right at him. Perhaps no more corner time for Nick and time for the couple to shine together ✨️.

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Holy...82%!?!? Amazing! Their smol little faces in the 2nd panel is killing me actually 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Victoria Panaro

Wow 😯 I was not expecting that 82% It's insaneeeeeee 😱😍😍

Jay

always escaping parties to hang out together 🥹

DogBefriender22

I love that they have finally escaped the party and are alone, but I'm also feeling a bit sad for Nick in the 2nd and 3rd panels, and in the previous few pages in general... as much as Nick loves to see Charlie's confidence blossoming (like we all do) I can't help but feel Nick is perhaps losing some of his own confidence, feeling like he is now the 'quieter' and perhaps 'less interesting' half of the couple... spending most of the party away from other people and letting Charlie do his thing.. and like he's said before, feeling lost when he's not with Charlie and that he isn't too sure who he is without him 💔 . Having said all of that, by the 5th panel I think Nick (and all of us) knows what is in store next, and that little smile is returning... 😊 Cant' wait for the next page!

Wayward Ace

🎶You. Will. Be. Popular! 🎶

Robert

Clearly Mr Farouk's belief in Book 5 that 'a lot of the younger boys will be inspired seeing Charlie as Head Boy' was right and the amount of his vote confirms that bullying is seen by many as a problem in the school. I agree that Charlie is probably in the ascendancy in their relationship but he still very much loves Nick.

Katie🐝

Confident Charlie!!!!!

Justin S.

I love that they always seek quiet out from a crowd

Scott Whittall

The great party escape.......the tradition continues!! And now we know 18% of Truham students are idiots...LOL

dominique

There they go escaping parties to hang out with each other

Mara

That other 18% are losers btw🙈 /j

Rose Diamond10

I would say that Charlie hasn’t really seen himself as popular in the past, even though he has a wonderful friend group and people seem to like him. But a solid piece of data like 82% is enough to overcome his anxiety and natural self-effacing tendencies.

Skylar

I thought he was already popular early on in the comic but I love that he sees it now too

Frances

They keep escaping parties to hang out with each other 🥹🥰

Rose Diamond10

Charlie looks so calm and centered. Nick’s internal struggle is evident from his expressions and reserved actions, but his connection to Charlie is still so evident. Growth comes from that place of discomfort, and I think Nick is about to experience some necessary growth.

Ada Suzany

our boy is growing beautifully 😭☝🏼✨️

Blupper954

Holy shit that’s a margin!! Way to go, Charlie!!!!

Jordan

Charlie’s haircut is growing out so beautifully! I want his hair routine 😂

lexi

82% when there's three other candidates AND you're gay at an all boys school is so impressive

Katy Boelter-Dimock

After Nick’s worries/revisiting old sadness on the last couple pages, I love that smirk in the last panel-like he’s always thought Charlie was the shit, & clearly loves it when Charlie shows he knows that too.

Laura

One page a day = not enough love/ kissing lol

Polythene Pam

Gahhhh they're so cute 🫠 Alice, I love how you've aged them yet kept them the same Nick and Charlie we know and love 😍

Kayleigh Clarke

Escaping parties to hang out with each other forever 😍

Jewel

Nick and Charlie Oml 😭💗💗💗

RCM

This page hits me on two levels...the first is the obvious affection and respect Nick and Charlie have for each other softly portrayed on this page. I love seeing CHARLIE pulling Nick out of the party (it was Nick at Harry's party doing the same!), and then ,the next 4 panels are all just cozy and warm (the parrot omg is killing me!) with a little touch of sassy Charlie that always makes Nick just melt. You can see it in that last close up of Nick. He is SO proud of Charlie (82% of the vote?! Those poor other 3 candidates, lol!)...But, then the second level hits, and I get a similar ache like when Nick was clearly (to us!) falling for Charlie but still trying to figure out what was actually happening. And now, we see Nick, with these internal inklings reminding him something is off. He's never really been questioned or had to take a stand about who he is or what he really wants as an individual, either from himself or even externally from teachers or classmates/bullies (other than David, but when you grow up with an asshole sibling, you tend to wall yourself off from their BS taunts)...this is a new, somewhat fuzzy place for Nick, and I love that Alice is exploring this aspect of mental health in its silent struggle. From the outside, Nick looks "normal," like he has everything together, but on the inside, uncertainty is brewing. Even though he likely cannot even name IT yet (am I jealous of Charlie? Clearly no. Am I proud of him? YES! Am I happy? I think so, yea, I mean, look at me and Charlie! and the questions he avoids: What do I want to study at uni? ha ha, you know, let's worry about that later), I suspect he feels kind of numb, with a little imposter syndrome...It's really hard to feel not right, but also not know why you don't feel right, especially when most everyone else thinks you are alright. Nick needs to find HIS voice...the one giving those inklings inside him🫂

Andrew Pitonack

good for Charlie, but poor Nick, he is feeling left out 🥹

ucfnurse

That last frame really gets me!!☺️😊🥰🫶🏻👍👻🎃☀️👌🌼🎉🧸✌️🕊️☮️

Loveislove

I agree RCM. I don't think Nick is jealous of Charlie at all. There has been some discussion that he is second place in the relationship right now, that he is not achieving enough. I don't think that is the correct lens to look at a healthy relationship. Equality doesn't mean the same. Couples bring different strengths to a relationship. What may be missing is communication. It is the special thing they always had. As Tara noted, they talked about their feelings. I wonder if Nick has felt he needs to take second place on this due to Charlie's mental health struggles. When someone you love is in a dark place, that uncertainty and feeling that something is off can continue even though the person is in recovery. The page of Nick visiting Charlie at the hospital really threw me for a loop. Has Nick talked all this frightening time through with Charlie? Or is it weighing on him as well as other challenges in his near future?

Sarah

So proud of Charlie but also aching for Nick. I can see the seeds of the Nick and Charlie Novella growing, how Nick might latch on to uni as something of his own sans Charlie (when he sees Charlie growing so clearly into his own self) and how that will leave Charlie feeling left behind. But also there’s so much love and care here. My boys <33

2catlovers

I wonder if Nick is sensing that this role, fabulous as it is, will take a fair amount of Charlie’s attention and time that was formerly his. He’s totally supportive but there’s also an unacknowledged loss. Their roles are changing. Poor Nick doesn’t have the tools to process that Charlie now has through his therapy, and it feels like it’s all getting quite heavy for him to carry. Moving into carer/supporter trauma (2nd hand trauma), and role-adaption territory. Time for an upgrade to Nick 2.0!

Beam Bugge

well tori did say in solitaire that "everyone loves charlie" so him being popular might not be such a new concept :p (then again she may have been a bit biased lol)

Nils

Interesting take. Maybe some strain on their relationship? Charlie is the kind of person that will give 100% to the job he was elected to do... Nick might feel a bit neglected.

Murgy

Well, normally talking in the middle of a dance party is unusual, and you have only just snuck away. But yes, people apparently want to pal up to the head boy :P

Brittney

Just look how proud Nick is for Charlie like, ahh my heart! Like things are finally catching up but we can see how properly happy Charlie is

Franny

Wow, this is such a beautiful page. Can't wait to see it on video 🤩 - I really hope that there will be a 4th season! This page is like a feel-good version of the bitter-sweet moment at Harry's party when they had their first kiss.

LetsGoToya

He's kind of a big deal 🥰

Pheobe Jackson
