Strawberry walked over to Pancake’s house, with tears in her eyes.

C.J. answered the door.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Nothing” Strawberry pushed past him. “Where’s Pancake?”

“She’s in her room. Why are you crying?”

“Mind your own business, C.J.!” Strawberry shouted, running up the stairs.

She walked into Pancake’s room without knocking.

Pancake was sitting on her bed, talking on the phone. She looked up and saw Strawberry.

“Gepetto, I’ll call you back,” she said, hanging up her phone. “Strawberry, what’s wrong?”

“Texas just wants to be friends” Strawberry sniffed.

“Oh, Sweetie, I’m so sorry” Pancake hugged her. “You guys looked like you were having so much fun last night”

“Yeah. I really thought he liked me”

“Well don’t worry, there will be other guys” said Pancake.

“Pan, you don’t understand” Strawberry said. “He didn’t just kiss me”

“Oh, wow”

“Yeah. We shared something special, and I don’t think he even cares”
