I was going to transfer to another school in another country and as a last hang out, me and my best buddy (callin him Jacquavius) planned to go to an amusment park. We made this promise weeks before me leaving.
Few weeks pass, its a few days before valentines. My friend group (Jacquavius too) was in my home baking. This guy, callin him Bartholomew, starts saying how he should ask this girl out for valentines. He has NEVER talked about her before so it was suprising. We hype him up and the convo about love begins. Two guy’s crushes get exposed and they start working up the courage to give valentines gifts.
Sidenote: I was beefing with this other guy (callin him Crosby) that used to be part of the friend group (bc he asked to partner for a project and made me do ALL THE WORK) and we were just leaving him out.
According to Jacquavius, he says I said "we shouldn’t tell Crosby about those crush because he’ll tell everyone." (97% I did NOT say that, another 99% he said that & blamed it on me. But he is known as a GREAT gossiper.)
Valetines comes, they don’t ask their crushes out but give handmde stuff. Nothing happens. But then these guys become GIRL-CRAZY. They used to be funny but now all they talk about is girls.
We were still leaving out Crosby, so I started feeling bad because it was a pathetic reason to leave him out (I apologied). But when I tell Jacquavius we should stop leaving him out, EVERYTHING CHANGES.
They start leaving me out of secrets (probably Jacquavius turned everyone on me). They stop talking when I walk up to them.
Then I hear they are planning to go to the same amusment park me and Jacquavius planned, a 5-man with the 5 girls they sudenly fell in love with (without me). I asked to go since we originally planned it but he said I “can’t go because” I “would be alone." I was fine with that.
At that point it was only a few days before I was leaving and they were planning to go on the day we planned.
So I went back to being friends with Crosby because I felt left out and also bad for him since his friends were outside our classes (NOFRIENDSHIPBROKENHERE).
The group gets PISSED that I’m back with him and starts whispering when I’m around. This irritated me so much that I started loudly talking to Crosby about how immature they were and how they had literally no future (not proud but it is what it is). I couldn’t believe the guys I had been friends with for 3 years would break friendships over new "crushes".
Tension settles down, we chill.
But then Crosby tells me he has a confession and says he told the group that "he knows the secret because I told him." I HAVE NEVER TOLD HIM.
Now I look like an AH to the group. I tld him to tell the truth and apolgise for lying, but he said it would "make things awkward because he’s staying and I’m leaving so ITS OKAY."
I convinced him and he did "tell" them, but Barthlomew (the only guy I made up with) told me Crosby NEVER told them the truth.
AITA for crashing out on them?
NTA my mum has a saying that these types of people change with the wind, they have no direction of their own. Good storytelling though, sat here giggling and gasping hehe
NTA. It will pass. You will make new friends in your new school and mostly forget about these guys. When you come home for vacation, you can invite them over or out and see what happens.
