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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZkCqlV4zx
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWRGjo1pR4
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod7zGCPhVV
"Nothing" said Strudel.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk736xq0SRy
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifzUiiJtMT
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGBfh76ekn
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIZ4aO5Mca
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEUSQEVra7
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMsFMx0Qd
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf7nUvhrY0
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC6IjnEiFo
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cr9fLy8bN
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFFcXdhE0m
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRolteeORA
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftfY0BvPkE
"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"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V8sZsx2no
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI94Cyq4aC8
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HrPIvBxMw
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNEYhNJrAl
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1leW94KwK6
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LdwO4yL2w
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcUsrjPMp3
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUkmvUzVb
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T6sdMRHzK
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7QzRNoBNn
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmWvBqzXZ
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hKTqlUYDg
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67SQpRtttM
"Hello?" he answered.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WaeBiKQ5W
"Hey" said Strawberry.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2pGHt6zZ
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ8ZviortC
"Strawberry" she said.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rA9NUgL6X
Click. He had hung up.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74B6X1X10o
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIJslXBJl
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM6XSdGLGB
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuw3M4CXSy
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"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZSzfxMfQi
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoptjiIkPpm
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zyjo956I
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8VlzJVNZB
Strudel grabbed her hand.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4z3meIvXe
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksHTGH3hp
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQ5wbNgu5
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOU82EDgp
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"
