SELENA GOMEZ recently opened up to Seventeen magazine about her budding relationship with fellow tween star, JUSTIN BIEBER. For many, many months Gomez asserted that she and the Biebs were just best gal pals, but in the past few months she’s been forced to admit they’re more than just friends.

So how does she feel about being under the media’s romance report glare?

“I don’t like hiding. I do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, I’m 18 and I’m going to fall in love. I’m going to hang out with people and I’m going to explore myself, and I’m okay with that. When I went through my first breakup, I thought it was the end of the world, and I thought I was going to die if I didn’t have him in my life,” she says. “It was good to cry it out and just scream, or call my friends in the middle of the night crying.”

Gomez also described their night at the Oscars as her “prom” (a little different than most 17-year-olds). Awww.
