Meanwhile at Muffins’ house, Strawberry & him sat on the couch.

“What did you want?” Strawberry asked.

Muffins grabbed her hands. “I like you” he confessed. “I talked to Maxwell about this, too”

“What did he say?” asked Strawberry.

“He still really likes you” Muffins said. “And he wants you to be happy. So do I.”

“And?” Strawberry asked.

“If you’d be happier with me, he understands and he’ll still be your friend”

“I think I’ll do that” Strawberry smiled, leaned in and kissed Muffins.

Back at school after winter break, Strudel walked up to Strawberry.  “Hey” he said.

“How long are we gonna pretend like nothing happened?” Strawberry asked. “Haven’t we paid for it enough?”

“If you say so” said Strudel.

“Friends, ok?” said Strawberry.

Strudel smiled as Strawberry walked off with Muffins.

“You ever gonna tell me what happened with you two?” Crunch walked up.

“Long story” said Strudel. “I know you’ve heard rumors, but they aren’t true. Even though they are a bit more interesting”

The bell rang for 1^st period and Strudel & Gepetto walked to social studies.

“I know what you’re thinking” said Gepetto. “You still like Strawberry”

“No, I like Pancake” said Strudel.

“Right” said Gepetto. “Whatever”

“What?” said Strudel. “Me & Strawberry are through. She’s with Muffins now”

“What?” Aloha leaned over. “She is?”

“Yep” said Gepetto.

“What about Maxwell?” Aloha asked.

“Ask Muffins, he knows the whole story” said Gepetto.

The bell rang again, and Aloha went back to her seat.

After school, Waffles & Lebron were walking home, and Smog came up behind them.

“Hey Waffles” said Smog.

“Um, what do you want?” said Waffles.

“Hi” said Smog.

“Go away” said Waffles.

Later on, Strawberry, Muffins, Waffles, and Lebron were at Waffles’s house watching Thirteen.

“I’ve seen this movie about 80 times” said Strawberry.
