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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAbo8x8BDMMS
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAWP2NGzXChG
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAs7DACo4YWC
"Nothing" said Strudel.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAgrOISVqCFZ
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQwuPxaRi
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAiv1vIqKV5A
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7MwAxTsii
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
643Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sd2pQbv1K
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
643Please respect copyright.PENANA3MxW6EeRBi
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
643Please respect copyright.PENANALJLzudpSJw
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAuveWFZtMcr
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
643Please respect copyright.PENANA0voXNvU6w0
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAbHCWPr4cHe
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAzq76QrzQF0
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
643Please respect copyright.PENANA82nKTR0uOM
"I never babysat that dog" Strudel said once Mr. Q. was gone. "Weird. Whatever."
643Please respect copyright.PENANAdM6CVkaCOL
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"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAvc8K5P1kzf
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAXH62jvn4z7
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAMK7R0ShGpK
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAWEcksASXUR
643Please respect copyright.PENANAzVlDiWYcFP
643Please respect copyright.PENANA7NA8RT2gUH
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAWFjKJ1dRT0
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAoZv1PUz1OR
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
643Please respect copyright.PENANALTPj6YYTtf
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
643Please respect copyright.PENANARR9VExO25h
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAY09jEZjdYr
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAcxkWOufhQH
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
643Please respect copyright.PENANA5BEsrxAHMp
"Hello?" he answered.
643Please respect copyright.PENANABHel0vj6Mj
"Hey" said Strawberry.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAt0zoBJzkVz
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAtRAnjmO3LF
"Strawberry" she said.
643Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ly76GfGsp
Click. He had hung up.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAtmkszuyUUF
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.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJbnsFdiA1J
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAgnznfH8D2Y
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
643Please respect copyright.PENANA9lo9jGiil1
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"
643Please respect copyright.PENANA480TLpFAgu
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAhO9v0N48Q5
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
643Please respect copyright.PENANAuytn5NsXw5
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
643Please respect copyright.PENANACx7IxvtGmk
Strudel grabbed her hand.
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYwiSqdai6D
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
643Please respect copyright.PENANA4XLKYyypDU
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
643Please respect copyright.PENANA8wEU9OssGx
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
643Please respect copyright.PENANANj0CYO5iIP
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"
