So, I have known my best friend, Kayla,
since kindergarten and I have know my best guy friend, Sam,
since the beginning of 7th grade (Its 2nd quarter of 8th
grade). I've liked Sam since I first met him and i have
been super close with him since i met him. I told him that I
liked him over the summer but he said he didn't like me
back, so when 8th grade started I told him I didn't like
him anymore so it wouldn't be awkward. So no one knew
that I liked him, not even Kayla. Me, Kayla, Sam, and 2 other
people were going to go to our local amusement park on a
Sunday night, but i couldn't go at last minute. So they
went without me and Kayla knew who Sam was but had never
talked to him before. She started to like him that night and
he started to like her. That Friday he asked her out. So now
they are dating but neither of them know that I like him. And
I'm trying to be supportive and say "Oh, your so
cute together!" because their my best friends.
What should I do?

That's a bummer. I'm so sorry that this is your situation. I've been there, and everyday I saw them together was agonizing!
You could do one of two things:
On one hand, you can stand your ground smile and continue doing what you're doing. Be supportive like you want to be.
On the other hand, you can bring them together, and tell them how you feel, but you have to know exactly how they can help you feel better (e.g. not cuddling, kissing, or being cute in front of you).
The things you absolutely can NOT do is ask them to break up because that's unfair to them, or distance yourself. You'll loose two great friends for such a little thing.
What to take away from this: Always tell your closest and most loyal friend about your crushes, so that you can call dibs AND get all giddy over "him."
