Tom had originally put the gun in there to scare Strudel. He turned all the faucets on and the hand dryers and flushed the toilets just in case there was anyone still in there. He put the gun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger.

Meanwhile, Strawberry was on the phone with Waffles. "He's suspended" said Strawberry. "I can't believe it"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAZtXGQXbL1X
"Hey, it's the price he pays for getting to beat up Tom." said Waffles.
535Please respect copyright.PENANA4zdmxzJsqA
"I suppose" said Strawberry. "But his mom won't even let me talk to him!"
535Please respect copyright.PENANA2M9PqUv7iu
"He must be in big trouble" said Waffles.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAZZNWZGd18W
"I don't even get to communicate with him until Thursday!" Strawberry complained.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAnLM1PffJ7M
Meanwhile, Strudel was in his room, lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He got up, and walked over by his door, and sat down in front of his boom box. He hit play on the CD player. Lose Yourself- Eminem.
Strudel remembered that day back in '02 or '03. Whatever. It didn't really matter to him. He just smiled to himself thinking of how young he and Strawberry were when they first met.

"Strudel?"
535Please respect copyright.PENANApAgE6Uekuk
Strudel snapped back to reality.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAXHsUHNiuWi
His mom was standing in the doorway. "It's time for dinner"
535Please respect copyright.PENANA7q3uhPslAn
"Alright" Strudel turned off his CD player, and walked downstairs.

"I can't believe my baby brother got suspended" said Potter.
535Please respect copyright.PENANA1BQpxCsNub
"Potter, shut up" said Strudel. "The jerk wrecked my car"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAFP2H56t4na
"Strudel, you need to learn to control your temper" said Pearl.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAxpA29UgPCE
"But he wrecked my car!" Strudel exclaimed.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAU3xy99QYVY
"So?" said Pearl. "You don't have to beat him up for it!"
535Please respect copyright.PENANA2O0k4HJDqZ
"Yes I do." said Strudel.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAe41QnECL6C
"It was you who beat up Stitch, wasn't it?" said Potter. "Yesterday he said he got beat up"
535Please respect copyright.PENANA4JOYpiLzqh
"Strudel, was it you?" said Pearl.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAhVfPFhxHQg
Strudel didn't say anything.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAFqEscN3c6T
"It was, wasn't it?" said Pearl. "That poor, innocent little boy!"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAmyfEnVsREX
"Mom, he's a POSER!" said Strudel.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAAlAkbVp01O
"He's a nice looking young boy" said Pearl.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAb4HYBf9Gfw
"No" said Strudel. "I'M a nice looking young- wait, did you say 'young boy'? I am gonna be 18!"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAHUZRhXNsf2
"Not for awhile" said Pearl. "You just turned 17, and you're a year older than your classmates because you were held back in kindergarten"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAIpg2yjb23t
"Whatever" said Strudel. "I can't believe it! My own MOTHER!!"
535Please respect copyright.PENANA0PzyIxXj7C
The next day, Strawberry, Pancake, Kiwi, Waffles, and California walked to school—without Strudel.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAhvg3TsLIs8
There was a mob of people outside the cafeteria.
535Please respect copyright.PENANASrjp9Z5ivL
"What's going on?" asked California.
535Please respect copyright.PENANA3qd80rSmrB
"There's Lemonade" said Pancake. "Lemonade!" she called.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAK8RQdSCWcH
Lemonade walked over to them.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAw9776P5nHz
"What's going on?" Strawberry asked.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAPtxfm0XceH
"They blocked off the cafeteria" Lemonade said.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAhHBlHNwi0b
"What happened?" asked California.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAxbqS6hifko
"I heard there was a murder" Gepetto came up, and put his arm around Lemonade.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAf9bPd49ST1
Strawberry had a blank look on her face. "What-what if Strudel got murdered? Maybe that's why his mom wouldn't let me talk to him"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAoLSLkYrTPq
Some dude came up to Strawberry. "Strawberry?" he said. "Could you please come with me?"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAV66enSrOjY
"O-OK" said Strawberry, worriedly.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAFmBkINX4An
He led her in through the cafeteria.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAmgZhUYAzS7
Pancake followed.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAwYp6pLH6o9
"Stay out here, Miss" said the dude.
535Please respect copyright.PENANAAdACXmwdJ9
"No" said Pancake. "Strawberry is my best friend, and Strudel was practically my brother. He was my brother's best friend"
535Please respect copyright.PENANAwcC4A59kk1
"Alright" said the dude. "Come with me, please"
