“Did you hear what he said?” said Pancake. “He said court”

“Yeah” said Strawberry. “He did”

“I should be taking him to court” said Pancake.

“Pan, stop thinking about that” said Strawberry.

“I know.” said Pancake.

“So?” Lemonade was waiting for them by the front door. “What happened?”

“We’re not supposed to tell” said Pancake.

“Tom committed suicide” said Strawberry.

“Then why did the dude wanna talk to you?” said Lemonade.

“It’s Strudel’s fault” said Pancake.

“Tom died because of Strudel?” said Lemonade. “That’s worse than what Gepetto did last year!”

“I know” said Strawberry. “Wait a minute, no. What Gepetto did hurt somebody that people care about”

“Yeah, but he didn’t die!!”  said Lemonade.

“So you’re sticking up for Tom?!?!?!?” Strawberry questioned.

“I’ve gotta go to gym” said Lemonade. “The bathrooms are open down there”

Strawberry and Pancake walked to 1^st period.  “What’s her problem?”  asked Strawberry.

“I don’t know” said Pancake, as they sat down in their seats.
