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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Sy02xs7E
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h20y8pczU
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oV9BJuHxj
"Nothing" said Strudel.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwT14lr0si
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWabYI5rQ0
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHypYfN3miA
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhGdtERhxL
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw7TkoeWi3
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWdoJx46m5
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjysczDWgpL
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkro2fOsl4f
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwyaXvwLx2
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zzGAvHGV
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih8bZ5FoZt
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMBRkhKDl6
"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"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRyCipSJlj
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MF76zjatF
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ibJqYvgX
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ApLzJS1l
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLGaXS1zw
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BSgGqsomM
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RD2M4pTjy
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuntQ5re9
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENxh8G1TFs
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ywugIyWd
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBAXvApeN3
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxQdAbkCjg
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvyj4k8rQF
"Hello?" he answered.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRyPjX7Rx
"Hey" said Strawberry.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4mGoS84BG
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYI6qYpMW7
"Strawberry" she said.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkcX7BvLKV
Click. He had hung up.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Shu6UiBsE
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVFeR7LACE
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe6RgDOdYA
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIj8UQRJdI
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"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBnTEVOAB5
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPBsWamMVl
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51OP4Lrtg
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOqgIzMck9
Strudel grabbed her hand.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68G2wYxzog
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXinqR1hCH
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ0sMgyBSW
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJChzYgOrZ0
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"
