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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkgSYLkDiT
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52vyULDwLl
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPzaoXD74J
"Nothing" said Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyXsusOBTu
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnrTDLR53F
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmYgenN8cg
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfDfk7Hcv9
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbZdjvLPNf
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusumA6ChLF
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgXIHrfqgo
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAAXVKDeg7
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSxHo0jxzr
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvmBm3JvC
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueFF9D2KNs
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBtwAY0hHk
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fuMRN00Tt
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda5wrAQ1Vq
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2k11Dx7C6
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68AMhQ6gHK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFTUPLTolW
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSWzhb7MRr
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgQsstEEc
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgzeUlBiB
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI8BiI51sm
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSz59GMbMS
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenmxuU6rZJ
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFfxhUppYr
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFptaatD5s
"Hello?" he answered.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxzeIQZNxr
"Hey" said Strawberry.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ2lEsS364
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4jNWZnvaz
"Strawberry" she said.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtHTIxiAZ
Click. He had hung up.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCVShGVmKx
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaxbKuoDpm
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPID5muImkX
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNxY2oqxH7
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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVKlFxr9U
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5H4KmnK4L
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GKL0WVFH0
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nn4WrLGD3
Strudel grabbed her hand.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRoICXA9a
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM7JcSEGVp
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTE6zbiuVG
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n2heYt1E5
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"
