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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z9vrmAI1i
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjqfzDLWFW
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cFoQ1Unmo
"Nothing" said Strudel.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeddRQPp6fO
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkpEFTlH9a
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJbMDyKn1o
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2aBpCBjMJ
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyS1ofKIW
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8vOpfE1G8
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURJjWZwJ4
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4D1CeiPfO
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"

Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnNRlkRZSt
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsNqPFhlbH
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcGNgzi5VG
"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"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqix1tbj3vj
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnufIcben0u
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3gkuABlZY
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFs6ffbdGW
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcH0vyAOzL
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZXGj2LbO
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1dxyEVmxz
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPPsKyu9FG
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY1M4DTFfM
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUV7N0ZR0i
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcAHRz7AxY
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sjxt7hjxx
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwB6mSWHkk
"Hello?" he answered.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgw4TtmhAy
"Hey" said Strawberry.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNksgbuQG1
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZEAkPeZX3
"Strawberry" she said.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867NRXRBfs
Click. He had hung up.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZczKBBlU
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.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1y0xvVH9n
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKXCRf9AmH
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9SrGYWzIt
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"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9X9GyNeMU
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpToD5yml0A
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qtcJ3r1nn
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlVXPbIWzO
Strudel grabbed her hand.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSFIR5Jo8w
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaz10qKft5
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4LheeCV5n
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4APyWjRNU
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"
