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

"Pan, quiet" Strudel whispered.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAc8QzDKYc7V
"No" said Pancake. "I already told my best friend. She has a right to know"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAXV7vCO7mfV
"Know what?" asked Ramona.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAeniYFE4MEU
"Nothing" said Strudel.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Pl5mx4xq
Pancake looked up at him. "Why, Strudel?" she asked. "Why? Are you embarrassed of me?"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmYh2kUz2xK
"Pancake, you know that's not true" said Strudel.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAcTLXjY5Dil
"Fine, then tell Ramona & Tessa" said Pancake.
270Please respect copyright.PENANA2SD1Ejz2vF
"W-we" Strudel stuttered. "We slept together, ok? We had sex"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAOZE6vBOYUN
"Wow" said Tessa. "Were you guys fighting the whole time?"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWsmz145jsq
"No" Strudel said in a snobby way.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAxmXbiufGcM
"Just asking" said Tessa. "You guys always argue"
270Please respect copyright.PENANALKXxQX0LWQ
"Yeah" said Ramona. "It's sad"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAldwMbbHRbR
Mr. Q. walked down the path where they were. "Strudel" he said. "Nice to see you"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAQowAt0DJ2t
"Yeah, you too" said Strudel. "I've been staying with Pancake and her family for awhile"
270Please respect copyright.PENANA5RZm59PS8U
"Ahh, I see" said Mr. Q. "Well, come home soon. You need to baby-sit Cuhly again" he walked away towards the gazebo.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAORlobMpAoo
"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"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPfVKTgsEUg
"Amazing" said Strawberry, sarcastically. "That's great"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAlrjm293lHf
"Mhmm" said Shady. "I still can't believe you're dating my cousin"
270Please respect copyright.PENANA85m9KwN6zP
"Shut up" Strawberry laughed. "I haven't even talked to him in forever"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAKRlXIeA0S3
270Please respect copyright.PENANAtN0ZMi0lRO
270Please respect copyright.PENANABOTcJFPdo5
A few weeks later, Strawberry still hadn't talked to Muffins. "Shady is Muffins back from Utah yet?" she asked.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAil4RJ4rCFV
"Yeah, he's been back for a couple of weeks" Shady replied.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAqM3jWeuMXv
"I haven't seen him in school" Strawberry said.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAnNeF06XIBW
"Maybe he's ignoring you" said Shady.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAi6sdpdlvLN
"Why would he do that?" Strawberry asked, welling up with tears.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPl4mS7OQkU
"Guys are assholes" said Shady. "Especially Muffins"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAypfJ3yPHvL
Strawberry walked away. She walked to her house and dialed Muffins' number.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAHhih5TFSL9
"Hello?" he answered.
270Please respect copyright.PENANACHh9R4EWnj
"Hey" said Strawberry.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAGzImWI7Icm
"Who is this?" asked Muffins.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAIfV8LmnegF
"Strawberry" she said.
270Please respect copyright.PENANA9ENC4xYzjF
Click. He had hung up.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAfTepjWHlOr
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.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAi8yjoar3JR
"A year ago I would've started making out with you" said Strudel. "But now I'll just ask. What's wrong?"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAS3B39tziNh
"Muffins hates me" Strawberry sobbed.
270Please respect copyright.PENANADRawXzZgul
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"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAUCkKioEjNA
"Strudel, you're still with Pan" Strawberry said.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAVUWjELYLTh
"You're still my friend" said Strudel. "And I still care about you"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAuxo9X4q8LB
"Really." said Strawberry. "That's funny"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAzVtXqbh6oN
Strudel grabbed her hand.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmTcu5Z9kky
"Strudel, don't" Strawberry begged, trying to get away. "Don't do this to me. Just don't"
270Please respect copyright.PENANAH5JrLYutVR
Strudel didn't listen. "Calm down" he said. He walked her over to the couch in the front room.
270Please respect copyright.PENANAEOLeILxV6O
"Strudel" Strawberry sobbed.
270Please respect copyright.PENANA694G1klyP3
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"
