Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : the school/college I go to is separated by year, not literally but socially (everyone is group 10 knows each other everyone in group 9 does etc) About 9 months ago I hung out with about four people, jack,john ,Lucy ,bopa. I also spoke to another group and for now they are 'the lads' when jack saw me he would say ,just in earshot "you are such a third wheel OP(me)" I clapped back at him saying that I'm not and that these people legitimately like me. We fell out and hang out with 'the lads' my life got loads better, I wasn't a shut in and had actually found a mental anchor in this group. during a class, stacy tells me that john has spread about that me and another glass mate are dating. I confronted john about it and he blanks me I asked "why cant you just leave this for once, it been 9 months."

TL;DR: old friends are angry at me because I found new friends and they start rumours after nine months
