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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAvCgaBswihL
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
260Please respect copyright.PENANA8nIhQoYjuP
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAEU7DwGtCK2
"Nothing" said Strudel.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAWTJEBPIdms
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAP509koJ4ou
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
260Please respect copyright.PENANApisp9vVmEH
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAGONHK443Hr
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKGbpx2ydYQ
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZJKZs3CdFQ
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAzoF4WnUtJY
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAxVEDZAxuAC
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
260Please respect copyright.PENANANlkBsJDekw
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAq2zyMqMUmY
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAkxbyygJEyL
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAtLnndYiWSO
"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"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAmjvkwRI7iz
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAhUfEIjAkXj
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAvdNMWLOTSf
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
260Please respect copyright.PENANA103oI1UKGs
260Please respect copyright.PENANAM0eKUino98
260Please respect copyright.PENANAI5gt3ih9r1
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKZaQgeR52P
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAzRMzdMUa0K
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAImnCrMkbNs
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
260Please respect copyright.PENANArO6LUjWOsJ
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAdIdb43ad44
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
260Please respect copyright.PENANA5mKjJjYRBq
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
260Please respect copyright.PENANADErtUqy1gq
"Hello?" he answered.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAuONaRqGF7v
"Hey" said Strawberry.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAzALfaOoUWl
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
260Please respect copyright.PENANARFZUFKDWDE
"Strawberry" she said.
260Please respect copyright.PENANALDzKhlGaNE
Click. He had hung up.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAuwTLoi44tL
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.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAzuBr5k7t1T
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
260Please respect copyright.PENANA5h3PW4PUPi
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZ26hn5L11g
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"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAwD0QxvuN1m
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAwfc2GP0cqQ
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAvZecenNjAm
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
260Please respect copyright.PENANAuis5coOxE6
Strudel grabbed her hand.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAUjLBB5vLy9
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
260Please respect copyright.PENANA9cFMH7nAyr
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXqnVgeic95
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAkbuNgGTGCZ
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"
