The next morning in the cafeteria, Quaker came running up to her friends.
“Stacey transferred schools!” she shouted, out of breath.
“Because of Spunky?” Cherry asked. “Ha! What a pansy”
“So, Strawberry, how are things going with Ziggy?” Pancake asked.
“Pretty good” Strawberry smiled. “We’re hanging out today”
“Who’s Ziggy?” Waffles asked.
“This hot new guy” Strawberry replied.
“Whatever happened to Texas? You two seemed to hit it off good”
“We’re just friends” Strawberry said.
“Well then, I wanna meet this Ziggy guy” Waffles smiled.
“He’s over there, talking to Texas” Quaker said.
“Come on, Waffles” Strawberry dragged Waffles over to Ziggy and Texas.
“Hey Ziggy, hey Texas”
“Hey” Texas said
“Hey, Strawberry” Ziggy smiled. “We still on for tonight?”
“Definitely” Strawberry smiled. “This is my friend Waffles”
“Hey, Waffles” Ziggy smiled.
“Strawberry, Ziggy,” said Texas. “Are you guys dating or something?”
“Nope” Ziggy replied. “We’re just friends for now” he put his arm around Strawberry as the
bell rang.
