Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Some context: I'm 17 [MtF], friend (we'll call her Mayo) is 17 [F]. Mayo and I had a very odd relationship. We used to cuddle, kiss, hold hands, etc. (She usually made the advances) but we never "dated" or anything. I saw the relationship as just being really close friends as I was very open with her. However, if she had wanted to date, I probably would have said yes. We would also go to the mall a lot or just hang out and talk. We had just made plans to go to the mall together and see a movie.


Out of the blue, Mayo texts me- not unexpectedly as we would often text each other spontaneously. She texted me "[Person I know] and I are smashing." Now my initial response was confusion but the new smash bros game had just came out (This took place back in December) so I thought she was jokingly saying that as a conversation starter. I played along, thinking it was a joke but she kept insisting that it was real. Eventually she sent me a picture of her with the guy which made me realize she wasn't joking.


I was taken aback as it was a very odd way of telling me that she was dating the guy. She then told me I would have to get my own ride to the mall on Friday (we had arranged for her dad to drop us off and then my mom would pick us up later). I asked her if it was because the guy would be driving her there, in which she confirmed. As I would no longer have a ride to the mall, I told I wouldn't be able to go.


I was pretty upset and confused about the whole exchange and felt that maybe she was trying to make me a jealous but I eventually called these thoughts off as me being irrational. I only answered with short answers while I was having these thoughts, however. I started warming up to her again tho and she asked me if I wanted to hang out with her one day after school. I replied asking her when and where? She responded with something along the lines of "Oh idk. I didn't think you'd say yes." I was a bit surprised by this response and told her I probably wouldn't be able to go anyway due to transportation issues, although I was mostly just upset. We texted a bit more that night, all friendly and stuff.


The next day, she texted me a picture of her hugging her boyfriend (looking at the camera, smirking) with a message saying "I lost a bet and had to send the worst picture imaginable to my best friend. I'm so sorry." This is when my thoughts of her trying to make me jealous kicked in again. I highly doubt she lost a bet, nevertheless the punishment being to send "the worst picture imaginable" to your best friend. 


After this, I just ghosted her. She texted me the a few days later. saying her and I should go to Dunkin' (something we did often) because she got a gift card. She also texted me Merry Christmas.


I miss her and the things we do, even though I was the one to end things.


I don't know if I misunderstood things or if she really was trying to make me jealous but some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
