Strawberries?

New to gardening and plants in general. Bought some strawberries from Home Depot and Amazon. 3 from each all are suppose to be Bonnie brand. They all look the same at first but one started to grow long stem flowers.

Not sure if it’s really a strawberry or something else.

Those are weeds growing up from between the strawberry leaves. they will make tiny dandelion like seed heads and spread all over, so pull then out before that happens.

If you follow those flower stalks down, you can see the narrow frilly leaves that are not strawberry leaves. Follow those stems all the way down and try to gently pull up and out. It’ll be easier if the soil is wet.
