Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Last post went over the character limit when I added a TL;DR and got deleted, so here it is again a little shorter.

A few months ago I was doing homework at a friend's apartment and eating dinner while I worked. I was on the floor, which was carpeted, and had a cup of water with me. Now, I intentionally put the water far away from my stuff because I didn't want to run the risk of it spilling and ruining my electronics or notes.

The friend whose apartment I was at (J) was hanging out with her boyfriend (B) that night. At one point, they started roughhousing like usual, and when J went for the takedown, my cup of water got kicked over and sent across the floor towards my stuff. At first I didn't think that the water had gotten on my computer aside from a few droplets on the screen, that it had just sunk into the carpet and that was that. So I cleaned up the spill and went back to work. A few minutes later however, my laptop froze up, and then went to a black screen.

I freaked out, asked if J had rice, she said she didn't, so I rushed home and brought back rice that I had, but not before giving very specific instructions to everyone there that nobody touch the laptop until I get back. Well, when I got back about 10 minutes later, B proudly announced that he had gotten it to turn back on. But it was on a weird screen that I'd never seen before, and I know when an electronic gets wet that you're not supposed to mess with the power. So I freaked again, threw it in the rice, and hoped for the best. But, when I took it to the Apple store the next day, I was told the entire inside was flooded and that I would have to foot the $1400 bill.

First I called my parents, and they agreed to cover it up front because I simply didn't have that kind of money. But I knew I needed to pay them back, so I called J immediately after and explained the situation, and that since her and B did it, that I'd like if they helped me pay the cost. She agreed to help, but sounded somewhat reluctant.

We're all college sophomores, J has a job and gets huge discounts on housing, and B receives a lot of financial support from his parents. I don't have a job, I just get financial aid every month. After the next pay day after the incident, J gave me $45. That's the only money I've seen. When I ask, J and B either don't respond, or say something to the effect of, "if your parents have already covered it then why are we giving you money?" or that they earn their money and they shouldn't have to pay for my laptop.

So I'm a little fed up, and I really need them to help me out. They haven't outright called me an asshole, but the way they act about it tells me they think it. I hate asking over and over again, because I know that even though they work/get money, we're all broke college kids, but $45 out of $1400 is ridiculous. So, AITA for expecting that they pay for half of it, and insisting that they do?
