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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ8qV5PRRs
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFX1SGNOq
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJkXQSyYYG
"Nothing" said Strudel.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL8sG0qGCT
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kqWpNGQ5
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TuEWv1H5l
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEq3HlruOL
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9S9ZNdDu6
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGcrsz1mki
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngZoSt7m0
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEv7wPBjS9
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtUUE7ByVa
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImie5PfxL
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5UJnWNniM
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmIKSihJR
"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"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStQggVjzUD
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN2RJHcpsS
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLiv7nJTjk
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd7poJrEp0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMfTPt2CVK
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNlrlYh3F8
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXtgXSkslA
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjtJI2d9WK
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHNsauWN1I
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj08yfd1Ip
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH549UF7PQ
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekUaH7ZPx
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkU1fGtj8R
"Hello?" he answered.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4NseCYuyv
"Hey" said Strawberry.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIua2Rhdkk
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ym6icliwh
"Strawberry" she said.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Moem7C6Z
Click. He had hung up.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBIxtghxbS
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoy5Jc82Ee
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhcEB3VBoO
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXeDovOwv
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"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupy8tknuXT
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qDDlzmzD
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGtO0DfWc7
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEFGW4YSJ
Strudel grabbed her hand.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvx82Rl170
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFNU3flXJw
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEx3G10IC4
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWatO11lzAD
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"
