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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfPJttrm5P
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YPb5KUCU2
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGjJfROZtk
"Nothing" said Strudel.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JIING6FY2
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbE5NO3NZP
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGkwGzK6ak
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZGno7jKj4
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnUYFCADpO
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwsfPBR6b5
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XAVchHzOb
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6w1v2y2Uv
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GrM5GPitD
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZRUot6iEE
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzvEWxA7zg
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ueZ6n7ub
"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"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirmlaWHE3b
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVQAsfpJWz
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqdZRi19P0
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0phAPQr0qk
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXH6QxBp5a
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lhdEx0dev
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWhsVHcFy
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjBO856E36
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiITjBlmwFl
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1LiGmebrM
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZRETU1QpS
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrbwDK10cz
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarYE1bRU8
"Hello?" he answered.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMdHVYGMEN
"Hey" said Strawberry.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazV6tVJfOh
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdneN6uUI
"Strawberry" she said.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFijTNnowv4
Click. He had hung up.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbJIh0CEQ
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TbO7FbPqs
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx9ErQQPJy
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yr0OoxG74
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"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10AY53wHtU
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJabuFYBgA
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SPbiql2sJ
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhMYV2LhQn
Strudel grabbed her hand.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXs8Ygr27
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGa1SMTPIe
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVIqTXpQFU
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj2N1W6mcN
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"
