To a New Life

Chapter 12

My friends were waiting for me when I got to school and I grinned excitedly at them. They also grinned at me excitedly. I walked up to them and stood next to James. "What's up with all the excitement?" Dylan asked. Pinkie grabbed me by the shoulders and grinned widely. Then she gave me a bear hug. "Ca..can't..bre..breathe." I choked. She let go of me and was jumping up and down. I giggled at her odd movements. "What is wrong with you? Why are you so excited? Did you finally get a boyfriend?" I teased.

She frowned at me. "Just because you are into the boyfriend frenzy trend doesn't mean that I'm going to join you okay." she stated. Dylan walked up and put his arm on Selena's shoulders. I looked them oddly, but before I could say anything, Selena screamed, "But, I just wanted to congratulate you on dating like the hottest guy at our school!"

Before I could say anything, James scolded me. "Why didn't you tell us anything princess?" He pouted. "Do you not take us as your friends?" he asked hurt. He put his hand over his heart and tried to look like he was in pain, I giggled at him.

"Of course not!" I exclaimed. "I just didn't tell you be.." I stopped talking when I realized something. "Wait, how did you guys know that I'm dating Tyler?" I bit my lips nervously. "I didn't tell anyone yet."

"Honey." Dylan said as he also wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "You still don't get that that gossip travels faster than the speed of light at this school."

I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I know that." I said looking at Dylan incredulously. "But who told you guys? Someone must have said something first."

Selena cleared her throat. "It may or may not have been your boyfriend who posted something on social media last night." she mumbled.

I groaned. "Why would he do that?" I whined frustrated. "He could have consulted me first."

"Why wouldn't I do that?" A voice asked behind. I turned around and glared at Tyler.

"You know you could have told me?" I said angrily. "I wouldn't have mind if you told me in advance." I crossed my arms.

He walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. "But that would've ruined the surprise cupcake."

I pushed him away from me. "You could have gave me a hint or something so I could be ready."

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Ready for what? You sound like you are going to go to war."

I elbowed his chest and made a face at him. "Actually," Dylan cleared his throat. "You guys aren't the only cute couple at this couple." James nodded.

I frowned. "What?"

James groaned exasperatedly, he pointed at Selena and Dylan. "Do you not see this?"

I looked at Dylan and Selena and frowned again. "What is there to see? I mean they're just standing ne.." Then realization hit me. I slapped my hand over my mouth. "Omg! You guys are dating!" Selena and David grinned at me and Tyler groaned."Wow you finally noticed!" he exclaimed.

I elbowed him in the ribs and he let go of me. "Shut up!" Tyler chuckled at me.

I wiggled my eyebrows at Selena and Dylan. "Now I will third wheel you guys every time you guys go on a date. And I'll make everything awkward between you two."

"You know we could just double date." Tyler suggested.

"Oh yeah!" I exclaimed wrapping my arm around Tyler's waist. "Why didn't I think of that before?" Selena nodded.

James cleared his throat. "And thanks for inviting me too guys." he said sarcastically.

"Then get yourself a girlfriend you loser." Selena retorted. He rolled his eyes.
