The dinner is slower than usual today. Less and less people seem to be here every time we come. It wouldn't surprise me if this place is going out of business.
"Mel, what did you want to tell us?" Halsey asks.
"Oh, Johnny and I hung out yesterday." I sign.
"Oooo!" Troye cheers, before leaving over the table. "How did that go?"
"We kissed." I sign.
"WHAT!?" Troye, Halsey, and Brendan all yell in sync.
"What?" I sign, tilting my head.
"Mel, you KISSED him?" Brendan asks.
"Yeah." I sign. "I mean, on the cheek, but yes."
"Oh." Brendan says with a sigh.
"That doesn't count!" Troye whines. "I was so excited." He frowns.
"Sorry." I sign to him, rolling my eyes.
"Wait, I thought you didn't like him?" Brendan asks.
"I mean, after hanging out with him, he's not that bad." I sign.
"Did he brainwash you?" Halsey asks.
"You're acting like you didn't WANT them to kiss." Troye says to her.
"Melanie, I don't know how I feel about this." Brendan admits. He looks worried.
"Well, we're dating now." I sign hesitantly.
"WHAT!?" The three of them yell simultaneously again.
"Stop doing that." I sign.
"That seems a bit fast." Brendan says.
"You ALSO wanted them to get together!" Troye points out. "Why are you both against it now?"
"I'm not against it!" Halsey claims. "I just wasn't expecting it to actually happen."
"Why not?" I sign.
"Melanie, I don't mean to insult your boyfriend, but he just doesn't seem like your type." She says.
"What is "my type"?" I sign, doing air quotes.
"Someone you didn't think was a loser last week?" Brendan mumbles, seemingly to himself.
"Dude, you sound jealous." Troye says, nudging Brendan on the arm.
"I'm not!" He says. "I just worried." Brendan looks at me. "You barely know each other."
"You've gotta start somewhere." I sign, shrugging.
"Mel-" Brendan starts, but I interrupt him.
"I was the one saying Johnny and I barely knew each other, while all of you were encouraging of his crush on me." I sign, getting a bit upset. "Now that we're actually together, you all suddenly saying we don't know each other enough, but we know each other MORE now than we did before."
"Damn, girlie! Go off!" Troye says, giving me a small round of applause.
"You're part of this too, Troye." I sign.
"Really?" He asks. "I think it's poggers that you're both dating. Your life is kind of boring. You need some romance."
"Okay." Brendan says, pushing past Troye to get out of the booth. "I'm leaving."
As Brendan begins to walk out of the dinner, Troye leans towards me again.
"Somebody seems a bit jealous~." He whispers.
