Is it normal for a relationship to be hindered by a best friend?

I'm in college. I have a circle of 4 friends. 2 guys and 2 girls. I'm guy A and I'm best friends with guy B and girl A, and friends with girl B (so I thought). Guy B is best friends with me and girl A, and friends with girl B. Girl A is best friends with girl B and vice versa.

Me and girl A have been messing around for the last week or so, but have kept it from guy B and girl B so we don't make things awkward. Girl B found out and apparently was furious. She had told girl A specifically not to get involved with me out of all the guys on campus. So now our relationship (between me and girl A) can't go anywhere until girl B's mind is changed; girl B felt "betrayed".

What have I done to this poor girl B you may wonder?
Make off-color jokes once in a while perhaps; she is very religious and conservative and tends to take things offensively. She apparently had a crush on me at the beginning of the year, so maybe she's jealous or thinks that I'm taking her best friend away. From the little bit of information I've got from girl A and guy B (who talked to her), she just says I'm mean. We we're good friends at the beginning of the year (about 2 months ago), and somehow things have drastically changed for her.
In my mind the relationship between me and girl A is a private matter (we aren't even dating), and I'm not sure why these other people are getting involved. Girl A I think feels the same way, but doesn't want to upset her best friend (I'm hoping girl B wouldn't stop being best friends with girl A over something as silly as this).

Is this a normal occurrence? A best friend standing in the way of a relationship in this sort of fashion?

    Friends tend to complicate things. I look at it like so; if they can't accept a change that makes you happy then they probably don't care too much about u.

    You are as conflicted as the next person. We are all as bad as we are good. It's how we control our impulses that determines how we have our cake and stay out of jail or not.

    Girl B liked you, girl A betrayed girl B by dating you even though girl B asked her not to. I can see why she's pissed, it's a typical situation

    So when does the rest of the letters of the alphabet comes in the story?

    On a serious note - a friend is a friend who respects your decisions and choices. If you wanted to date someone she should respect you.

    I say forget her.Do you want to love a girl who is the puppet of her best friend.if i'm u i would have started hanging out with another girl to make them both jealous.apart from it if girl A really loves u she wouldn't have done alot of drama like this.

    It's normal but really immature. Sorry you have to deal with this!
