Author Notes
To answer everyone’s inevitable first question, Kylie is sitting on the floor. It’s not the first time I’ve shown the character doing that either. For some reason, I just imagine Kylie being the sort that prefers the floor to chairs.

With that out of the way, we start the party nice and awkwardly. Yes, we know from the last chapter that Maria and Chanel were going out, but this is the first confirmation for most of the group. It’s likely Rudy knew, and by extension, Rain too. But Gavin and Kylie would have had no way of knowing. Emily barely even remembered Chanel, so she couldn’t have either.

As for Maria’s reaction, I don’t think she’s actually upset by their congratulations as she is of Emily getting to learn this truth as well. Chanel, not really knowing Emily, enjoys the support though. ^_^

I know it’s been a long setup, but we’re finally about to jump into the meat of this chapter. Gonna be fun~! XD
