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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAxRz7rW0nDK
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
243Please respect copyright.PENANArdDQdLPjqF
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
243Please respect copyright.PENANANDCmaiGJ57
"Nothing" said Strudel.
243Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZovkVsl8I
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAHDPWMWIaPo
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAUycYd3Ys6w
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAZSP3zwRWe8
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAgJVcv9Fdas
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAOAHta2kyE4
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAtBdZP7Ty2u
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAgNIb9UZ7aS
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAytzZo9GUQh
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAfO661qR6um
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
243Please respect copyright.PENANA1M5MLzzKQ0
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAFwbM9wML3B
"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"
243Please respect copyright.PENANA3mREP7wEWV
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAPMS1wHacGQ
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0DGcEr0dP
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAr7yuVcwpHY
243Please respect copyright.PENANA6cf7HqcJa0
243Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ05aBMJ2H
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAgECEQaKKof
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAemzwjfCbWj
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAwt3Kfv1y7f
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAtEoKZ3HsqQ
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAVKMu4GfS1c
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAlZISNSOdYb
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAfGH3E47J2G
"Hello?" he answered.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAANGyp1xCho
"Hey" said Strawberry.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAwoLOwfcEhP
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAkrHMdOAKZJ
"Strawberry" she said.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAfRO24FldqB
Click. He had hung up.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAM4J4qH5Tep
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.
243Please respect copyright.PENANALurKlBMSCX
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAN8rbbT5ZKr
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAfWGi9fkiFS
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"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAe05tCiFGcd
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
243Please respect copyright.PENANA28ielmbVQ5
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAetawbcnO7M
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAggbYMah2hz
Strudel grabbed her hand.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAYXGhTa9vQF
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
243Please respect copyright.PENANAh5c6ZXCmaI
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
243Please respect copyright.PENANADz2T0wRJIe
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
243Please respect copyright.PENANAGpaZ1VpJG6
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"
