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"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAHJjZEKSMQJ
"Hey, it's the price he pays for getting to beat up Tom." said Waffles.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAYZQfrER94l
"I suppose" said Strawberry. "But his mom won't even let me talk to him!"
553Please respect copyright.PENANA8tLoU6cgGi
"He must be in big trouble" said Waffles.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAw3g2wHrOev
"I don't even get to communicate with him until Thursday!" Strawberry complained.
553Please respect copyright.PENANACS99MHdCm9
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?"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAdU6ju6FeOD
Strudel snapped back to reality.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAVPCMMxQ0g9
His mom was standing in the doorway. "It's time for dinner"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAIjTbXVi35T
"Alright" Strudel turned off his CD player, and walked downstairs.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAaieWbYrRdb
"I can't believe my baby brother got suspended" said Potter.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAlr27YyNS8T
"Potter, shut up" said Strudel. "The jerk wrecked my car"
553Please respect copyright.PENANA4ir3ZhHJJD
"Strudel, you need to learn to control your temper" said Pearl.
553Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZERDIlkja
"But he wrecked my car!" Strudel exclaimed.
553Please respect copyright.PENANA06RSvCLXcQ
"So?" said Pearl. "You don't have to beat him up for it!"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAFfbB47urD8
"Yes I do." said Strudel.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAPQRvotyfbB
"It was you who beat up Stitch, wasn't it?" said Potter. "Yesterday he said he got beat up"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAlec7MIqm8t
"Strudel, was it you?" said Pearl.
553Please respect copyright.PENANApTPbgvnzM2
Strudel didn't say anything.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAthQrchhzRd
"It was, wasn't it?" said Pearl. "That poor, innocent little boy!"
553Please respect copyright.PENANA0k3ahVQS9C
"Mom, he's a POSER!" said Strudel.
553Please respect copyright.PENANASKpipOQy8W
"He's a nice looking young boy" said Pearl.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAMq6pJFihIj
"No" said Strudel. "I'M a nice looking young- wait, did you say 'young boy'? I am gonna be 18!"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAtWPo96Mgvi
"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"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAByTBdzE2dT
"Whatever" said Strudel. "I can't believe it! My own MOTHER!!"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAH8kzIjBpRQ
The next day, Strawberry, Pancake, Kiwi, Waffles, and California walked to school—without Strudel.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAacX2eWdhHz
There was a mob of people outside the cafeteria.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAAECqpVEvm9
"What's going on?" asked California.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAb8euaiUdSx
"There's Lemonade" said Pancake. "Lemonade!" she called.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAHE5IXe8M1j
Lemonade walked over to them.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAtNkJfg7FOA
"What's going on?" Strawberry asked.
553Please respect copyright.PENANA7OjXRP3XI2
"They blocked off the cafeteria" Lemonade said.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAKNaZbjqd1N
"What happened?" asked California.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAWZEhyDreDW
"I heard there was a murder" Gepetto came up, and put his arm around Lemonade.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAoOZ0NwRcJA
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"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAjYe3SAiLJK
Some dude came up to Strawberry. "Strawberry?" he said. "Could you please come with me?"
553Please respect copyright.PENANAJWWttkcYU5
"O-OK" said Strawberry, worriedly.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Ho5Hxp2V
He led her in through the cafeteria.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAXfK1wkerId
Pancake followed.
553Please respect copyright.PENANANCQUcar8sX
"Stay out here, Miss" said the dude.
553Please respect copyright.PENANAXQGbPaxrvt
"No" said Pancake. "Strawberry is my best friend, and Strudel was practically my brother. He was my brother's best friend"
553Please respect copyright.PENANA71UoFHQTUr
"Alright" said the dude. "Come with me, please"
