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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnFluzLhcyn
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAENEdn8qnAE
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAwPsAQjgW4d
"Nothing" said Strudel.
277Please respect copyright.PENANADfFsMD9X3m
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAt7JDrPxi7k
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAW3LdGGrmnu
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABoIJaQhH3I
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3QQavTLbnl
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKGHbAszts8
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAR5T9weP3dB
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMWJu27h1EY
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnCLaXtetWL
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3pqYA4fGT9
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAX54ljh2zHR
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALZFTBTjkzJ
"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"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA8PDQMQcSw2
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMOg4y97D7t
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgbTTguU4La
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAi7Xnf23QvF
277Please respect copyright.PENANAF4z2wZJ4hE
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeAIZx5XOW2
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAcLyTDY3uMw
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2NrAcWEr7j
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAyhOapqKeHK
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALQmlBiiDvN
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlRCi8crQUz
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA53ytNWndFw
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
277Please respect copyright.PENANASK8IqvmGa4
"Hello?" he answered.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArN3B4rKNDy
"Hey" said Strawberry.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArxL9r6Rkow
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAcd7AFxBUHX
"Strawberry" she said.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAA5JfMYkWXM
Click. He had hung up.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAdwF4K2bBo4
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMW1BaFk22l
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3dkQ16WvCK
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEuRUhOHfc3
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"
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6tVEfOSSEu
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZdowEsNKRp
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYJuRJSa5r4
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAu13Ei2HGFr
Strudel grabbed her hand.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA00MHSkGHhB
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWyNbbZ3aYd
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAM6voUUX1Gn
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlcmTMCWRU0
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"
