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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1bOmx4YsG
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xl6Fy4tNW
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ydyEPwMO
"Nothing" said Strudel.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7klsqU4c7H
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiW7crmGIM
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPeBOGH9US
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GCyzQyztr
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5YLtsrzc
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uV5yXaqpV
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUOjjlvQf
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7z5LvsMqw
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWfZYcvPw1
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ZpYW5tUL
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUzb6h8ITX
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVBRj79HAO
"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"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4OqmnaIVx
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7HiqFDr3m
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7rvHnvWe
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyNRHqBIzB
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7mRqPshs2
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tKKeMIoC
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYtLELiGIL
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK2CbOuFQf
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyraco5dKXF
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhimlfg9AC8
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8N6cFNGjP
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjTdAzMbfP
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdRjSrSVrF
"Hello?" he answered.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEdzvKACZ
"Hey" said Strawberry.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDY0bSSUu
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmURNIlPI
"Strawberry" she said.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg88CBmj8M
Click. He had hung up.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPxQ1p8cEu
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Inwf92wy
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQx4Sb27fF
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mhpFiG3sx
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"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK7EDMurTe
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCoGIdVEb
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhUjaEpESt
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPEyUOeBjq
Strudel grabbed her hand.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ffCQq4FAe
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJay0cP7F9H
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmpLuC45Nj
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy2vSVL45m
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"
