Tom had originally put the gun in there to scare Strudel. He turned all the faucets on and the hand dryers and flushed the toilets just in case there was anyone still in there. He put the gun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger.

Meanwhile, Strawberry was on the phone with Waffles. "He's suspended" said Strawberry. "I can't believe it"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAVeRf7rKpey
"Hey, it's the price he pays for getting to beat up Tom." said Waffles.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAzd6x077oj2
"I suppose" said Strawberry. "But his mom won't even let me talk to him!"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAYbnlkR0MSZ
"He must be in big trouble" said Waffles.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAwiEX58yfMK
"I don't even get to communicate with him until Thursday!" Strawberry complained.

Meanwhile, Strudel was in his room, lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He got up, and walked over by his door, and sat down in front of his boom box. He hit play on the CD player. Lose Yourself- Eminem.
Strudel remembered that day back in '02 or '03. Whatever. It didn't really matter to him. He just smiled to himself thinking of how young he and Strawberry were when they first met.

"Strudel?"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAm8zNJbnAKU
Strudel snapped back to reality.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAfGT693OsYX
His mom was standing in the doorway. "It's time for dinner"
575Please respect copyright.PENANABdWwMsBi7N
"Alright" Strudel turned off his CD player, and walked downstairs.

"I can't believe my baby brother got suspended" said Potter.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAMXYPxyjgBl
"Potter, shut up" said Strudel. "The jerk wrecked my car"
575Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChFjm4lLO
"Strudel, you need to learn to control your temper" said Pearl.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAkUeKrcIJx5
"But he wrecked my car!" Strudel exclaimed.
575Please respect copyright.PENANApO8hzqbWGS
"So?" said Pearl. "You don't have to beat him up for it!"
575Please respect copyright.PENANA7vJQ2q84uY
"Yes I do." said Strudel.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAvxZaKfaYsL
"It was you who beat up Stitch, wasn't it?" said Potter. "Yesterday he said he got beat up"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAfCv7NQBd5G
"Strudel, was it you?" said Pearl.
575Please respect copyright.PENANABC44ujZm3m
Strudel didn't say anything.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA3iuvZZgzGG
"It was, wasn't it?" said Pearl. "That poor, innocent little boy!"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAjwNiof3koo
"Mom, he's a POSER!" said Strudel.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAyMBGbQRnE8
"He's a nice looking young boy" said Pearl.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAyn6vABdFcM
"No" said Strudel. "I'M a nice looking young- wait, did you say 'young boy'? I am gonna be 18!"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAW0qgMtQnnS
"Not for awhile" said Pearl. "You just turned 17, and you're a year older than your classmates because you were held back in kindergarten"
575Please respect copyright.PENANALmTMgkAWfC
"Whatever" said Strudel. "I can't believe it! My own MOTHER!!"
575Please respect copyright.PENANA2dcVEWYK0F
The next day, Strawberry, Pancake, Kiwi, Waffles, and California walked to school—without Strudel.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAV5DkM0wXz1
There was a mob of people outside the cafeteria.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAMjEgbadGP6
"What's going on?" asked California.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAK8GFaG71iS
"There's Lemonade" said Pancake. "Lemonade!" she called.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAEzaoXlRFJ3
Lemonade walked over to them.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAfRNMR9hAb9
"What's going on?" Strawberry asked.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAa6hdQdq9D8
"They blocked off the cafeteria" Lemonade said.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAX0V43hT7ez
"What happened?" asked California.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAbVwIBmFXVR
"I heard there was a murder" Gepetto came up, and put his arm around Lemonade.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAKi0dN13ena
Strawberry had a blank look on her face. "What-what if Strudel got murdered? Maybe that's why his mom wouldn't let me talk to him"
575Please respect copyright.PENANA2ka3iFz4Fa
Some dude came up to Strawberry. "Strawberry?" he said. "Could you please come with me?"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAMMGOtEXz3s
"O-OK" said Strawberry, worriedly.
575Please respect copyright.PENANALde3SPYXOu
He led her in through the cafeteria.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAVo4dhCDR9X
Pancake followed.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAGOnKHLcGP7
"Stay out here, Miss" said the dude.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAi5jvcGeZHF
"No" said Pancake. "Strawberry is my best friend, and Strudel was practically my brother. He was my brother's best friend"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAb4yDozdQEC
"Alright" said the dude. "Come with me, please"
