AITA for leaving after class without telling my friends?

So usually at school me and my friends have a spot where we always gather and talk during recess or after school. Today that spot was taken so my friends sat somewhere else which was upstairs from where we usually sat. I was really tired after school and my books were really heavy so I didn’t want to walk upstairs anymore after going to my locker. I was earlier done with my school day so I just told some friends I had classes with that I was leaving, but didn’t tell those other friends that sat upstairs. I was actually planning to tell them goodbye, but didn’t because I was exhausted and had a frustrating day. So I went home and currently I’m receiving the silent treatment from both of my friends that I didn’t say goodbye to. So.. AITA for this?

    1. We are all 19.. yeah lol I know I thought it was fine behaviour but apparently they use this against me because I didn’t value them enough to say goodbye..

    1. I know… they’re the only friends I have at school so I can’t really fight or argue with them. But sometimes it’s exhausting for them to treat me like this over the smallest things

  1. NTA. good grief, you’re allowed to just… go home.

    you’re not their employee. you don’t need to clock out. you were tired, you had heavy books, and you went home. that’s a normal human decision, not a betrayal.

    giving you the silent treatment because you didn’t perform the “goodbye ritual” after a long, exhausting day is incredibly childish and manipulative. real friends would send a text saying “hey, missed you after school, you good?” not throw a passive-aggressive tantrum.

  2. Who cares. You see them the next day, and the day after that. That’s what happens at school.

    Childish crap.

    NTA
