"Where'd your boyfriend go?" Muffins asked Pancake.
"He's NOT my boyfriend." Pancake shot back in a whisper.
"Whatever" said Muffins.
"Would you leave me alone?" said Pancake. "I'm trying to study."

"Damn, what's wrong?" Muffins asked.
"Leave me alone, Muffins, before I switch seats" Pancake muttered.

"Yes, I'm fine" Strudel muttered. But all he could think about was Pancake.
