"What are you gonna do?" asked Strudel.

"Oh, you'll see... tomorrow, we're driving" Lemonade said, as Doreen and Fiona drove past in a white convertible.
581Please respect copyright.PENANATlgp5uD88W
"Alright" said Strudel. "I'm driving though."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAXK6gvuWHwU
Later on, it was storming really hard. Waffles' doorbell rang. Tom was standing there with an umbrella.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAtooCnmpiVn
"I live on Apple" he said.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAoNLdaUlp5m
"I don't care" said Waffles. "How do you know where I live?"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAe2MBB1mvi7
"Pia told me" said Tom.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAsx8dMVOE1Q
"Damn her" said Waffles. "What are you doing here?"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAITbYDqEww1
"Just thought I'd drop by" said Tom. "Let you know where I lived."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAXIRPvRatR0
"I really don't care" said Waffles.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAUkQyMY5NAE
"So.." Tom continued, "You still with Smog?"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAYRRfs7gF2i
"Tom" said Waffles. "Go home, please."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAV5LROmPOIA
"God, I want you." said Tom, and he pushed her down on the couch.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAsGCHqAplHE
"Tom!" Waffles screamed, "Stop it!" her cries were drowned out by the thunder. The doorbell rang again. "Come in!" Waffles cried. Tom looked up as the door opened.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA3gPhM6NSio
Strudel walked in, soaking wet. "What are you doing, Tom?" he asked, running his fingers through his dripping wet hair.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAB72kkafNt9
Tom jumped up, "Working on Spanish" he said.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAAVpyOGmFE2
"Yeah right" said Strudel, pushing Tom. "Waffles is my friend, leave her alone."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAhap0RNANZ1
"Are you Smog?" asked Tom.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAQ45q51LSHm
"He's not as cool as me" said Strudel, popping his collar. "But almost."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAUZfpJPaJxi
"Oh!" said Tom. "You're Strawberry's boyfriend! You're Strudel! I recognize you from her Myspace page!"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAorNpyi9UtV
"Yeah, I am" said Strudel. "And I'm your worst nightmare."
581Please respect copyright.PENANA4V9hCCBfX6
"You don't scare me" said Tom. "Except you're getting me all wet."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAz2rpVgsl76
"And I'll get you even wetter" Strudel squeezed his shirt on Tom.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA5WiHUZVCjS
"Stop, man" said Tom.
581Please respect copyright.PENANApzhOersphT
"No" said Strudel, and he pushed Tom into the wall. "Go home, bitch"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAw3wC7GNqKk
"Waffles, I'll see you later" said Tom, who was bleeding.
581Please respect copyright.PENANARB3jrAYkcS
"Don't get blood on the rug!" Strudel called after him.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA3qkUfKlr5u
"Thanks, Strudel" Waffles said once Tom left. "So what did you want?"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAsjBEWKpna5
"I wanted to make sure that we were cool" said Strudel.
581Please respect copyright.PENANANVqci54xRV
"Okay?" said Waffles.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ2shW76ZP
"What happened this summer shouldn't have happened" Strudel said, still dripping wet.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAqSrQl02muS
"I'm sorry" said Waffles.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAR8YqKxpWaL
"We were both unfair to Strawberry." He gave her a hug. "Well, I've gotta go, so I'll see you tomorrow."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAUSOIzicOpC
Strudel walked back outside, where it was still storming. He walked to the pond and just stood there. A loud clap of thunder sounded.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAzahuSNbWx2
"Hey" a voice come up behind him.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAOW1mmKW1dl
He turned around. There was Strawberry, her hair dripping in her face. She was beautiful. He hugged her, both of them soaking wet, and they kissed in the rain. Their arms stayed around each other for what seemed like hours. Strudel felt like he was in heaven when he was holding Strawberry. The rain come down even harder.
581Please respect copyright.PENANApQc0XQV1lC
"Lets go somewhere dry" Strudel suggested, as he took out his phone. "I'll see if my mom can come and pick us up." He tried dialing the number. "The service is out. Try yours."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAEwhU50TkCM
Strawberry's service was out, too. "The signal's down" she said. "We could go to Snitram Nur"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAoNGsr1nP3d
"Lets go to the gazebo" said Strudel.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAlxdUd7ku0e
So they walked hand-in-hand, in the pouring rain, until they got to the gazebo and sat down. They kissed for a while, and then Strawberry pulled away. "Strudel" she said. "I have to tell you something."
581Please respect copyright.PENANA1MUXvBvQU1
"What?" asked Strudel, still soaking wet.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA9RAUqrbVPl
"Remember when you fell in the pond last year?" Strawberry spoke quietly.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA4RTmxMJ3Hl
"Yeah" said Strudel. "What about it?"
581Please respect copyright.PENANAtvXPlk3BVs
"Well" said Strawberry, "After you kissed Waffles, I told Pancake something that I thought I meant, but now I realize that I didn't mean it."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAxTFMkJZ6e3
"What was that?" asked Strudel.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAhZux7EsWeR
"I" Strawberry stuttered. "I said... I said that I wish you would've died."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAosErk3dOnd
Strudel didn't say anything. Strawberry gripped his hand tighter, both of them still dripping wet.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAU9v6SlRDNH
"All I need in my life," Strawberry continued, "Is my friends, my dog, my family, and you."
581Please respect copyright.PENANAf4qtAMyKa0
Strudel was deeply touched by this. They hugged, and Strawberry fell asleep in his arms.
581Please respect copyright.PENANALV2dlkloE6
581Please respect copyright.PENANArCR7cQff2p
The next day before school, Doreen and Fiona came up to Strawberry and her friends.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA3fsCPG2UGf
"What do you want now?" asked Lemonade.
581Please respect copyright.PENANA5nlGD6clcw
"Oh honey, it's not about you this time" said Doreen. "Strawberry, I saw you and Strudel through my window."
581Please respect copyright.PENANASa2o5Qjy3c
"So?" said Strawberry.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAVyCbWKFhId
"You're a dirty whore" said Fiona.
581Please respect copyright.PENANAT1MFnatmco
"You guys are such losers" said Strawberry. "You don't even know what happened."
