Strawberry, Tessa, Ramona, ChiChi, and Clorox just stared at them.

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZPfSsFc5O
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZuKJA6Fo
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHinnrELDO
"Nothing" said Strudel.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPO2LU1mYk
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsmEMDgIrb
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4i7F6MGJh
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGFxmk5wes
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxC19Iud4T
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34cK2YgfYu
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2fBkLSz4Q
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ChKkrsDFe
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5z4FQzhbz
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6KE962aTP
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsruvjOjlk
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXnLstC08r
"I never babysat that dog" Strudel said once Mr. Q. was gone. "Weird. Whatever."

Shady walked down the path with Burger. "Strawberry" she said. "Muffins had to go on an emergency trip to Utah. He told me to tell you"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBSYKVUB2K
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgJ3Eap2RE
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaSJKO2zdr
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku9CjbFUQe
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRvwGsMelc
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnOpXpHRI9
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV6bv1hVHI
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcpG7esWP3
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPDM2FVftr
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXnWSDelHn
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9u0EZgHwz
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8x3gNsB1
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiLHdXaOCd
"Hello?" he answered.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MvGvkvo70
"Hey" said Strawberry.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bWp5cEtlr
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp6jUB3Zio
"Strawberry" she said.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXzkJXeyg6
Click. He had hung up.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGyeYjhbmz
Strawberry laid down on her bed and started crying. She woke up a couple hours later to her doorbell ringing nonstop. She got up and looked out her window, and saw Strudel standing there. She wiped her eyes and went downstairs, and opened the door.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDRKlrivHP
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fve58EFqL
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouYIzSWF5S
Strudel let himself in the rest of the way, and shut the door behind him. "How could anyone hate you?" he asked. "You're incredible"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojRo7Ytb0
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRpuXtzVe
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FG9u7TFCO
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwEpItsaP2
Strudel grabbed her hand.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLZTuLBjl7
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJXWKisJvT
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq7KLR9OH3
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWv42MuuGV
Strudel sat her down, and he sat down, too. Strawberry started crying again, but her tears were muffled out by Strudel's shirt, which Strawberry had buried her head in.
"It's ok" Strudel stroked her hair. "He's just an asshole"
