Okay, so me and my colleague, let's call her X, are pretty close. One late shift, shes driving me home and tells me in confidence she had plans to leave. Cool.

Cut forward a week, and my manger calls me into her office and asks me "I know you and X are pretty close, and we've been monitoring her behaviour for a while. Is she planning on leaving?"

Feeling flustered, I said "yeah, she told me she had intention to leave soon." I was dismissed from the office and felt bad for possibly snaking her out. 

Cut forward to today (it's X's final shift), I haven't seen X since the day of the meeting and she mentions the meeting. "I know you told the manager about me leaving". She proceeded to call me a snake for about an hour. 

(Me and X are still close, she assures me she doesn't care and is only messing around, and I believe her. We hugged it out before she left, and she offered to help me write my own notice. So we're definitely still cool) 

It got me thinking though, should I have lied to my manager? AITA?
