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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfJ3KOYAx
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pBBV4Oowm
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ir6TDeB0s
"Nothing" said Strudel.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshy1sgSpHw
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHHT7a1uFE
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbISabsiFL
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62AxxledvY
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpkm9BI65v
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VKKnBFBBP
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjTZDnMjTP
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTQlH4vGWs
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"

Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXrmqdaNh2
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCjiVrUKn8
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8kFkMdulU
"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"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ztie8MzDS
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4NDYmnWo
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2dDAGeEyw
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVmThnkwv4
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp85UIVMBST
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwHFrGtZHY
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQkrDqjTvi
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHT2BsOBm
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6PEBqExL
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ittCtKVEN
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99GBOwIttS
"Hello?" he answered.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxeShV9vpR
"Hey" said Strawberry.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVzkY9Sdj
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG1MVIkMfj
"Strawberry" she said.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlJJ095FD
Click. He had hung up.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiIaHjPXqz
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWwUAplhpQ
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLc6NWeHDo
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvLi3XmeG
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"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2iAXITRqZ
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WqA3rowsj
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgFxuxAkH
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuskJ68dULg
Strudel grabbed her hand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPo98oO0vH
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7pxKE0BpY
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4EPexnES
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeG7WmSbNd
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"
