"Ohemgee we shoulddddd! As long as it's strawberry!!" Tori trilled, releasing August from his hug and clapping at Paulie. She finally sat down in the chair closest to him and positively beamed as she looked all around at her friends, especially Taryn and August! They were just going to lo---

---love each other. Except that they already knew each other, apparently. Tori's bottom lip jutted out and she stared from one friend to the other, her look of pride quickly turning into one of confusion.

"Wait wait waaaaaait." She held up a hand. "How do you guys KNOW each other already? This was supposed to be a SECRET."

Paulie got some LOOKS at THAT.
