I (15M) used to have a crush on one of my former friends, "Peter" (15M). He asked me one day if I liked anyone, and I said that I did. He was very eager to know who it was and kept asking me about it and guessing who it could be for days but I didn't tell him initially. I decided to tell another friend, "Sam" about it. Sam told Peter, who approached me during school. He asked me if I really had a crush on him. I tried to stall but eventually said yes. He said something like "Sorry bro I'm straight" and walked away. It wasn't how I wanted him to find out, especially considering that we were surrounded by classmates. So to clarify things I talked to him online. This is the chat log:
Peter, I know you got to know about everything in class, but...

He blocked me, and from then on he stopped talking to me irl and started insulting me behind my back, like advising my friends not to fraternise with me because I would "turn them gay". I was obviously very miserable and told a few of my friends about it. They were curious about what exactly Peter said to me and asked me to share a screenshot of the convo. So I did. It seems that they shared it with others too and it eventually reached Peter. He did not mention it to me at all so I had no idea.
Later, I confronted Peter about insulting me behind my back in front of a teacher, which he vehemently denied, even though many of my friends could bear witness. He changed the topic and told the teacher that I had spread the screenshot of that convo which I shouldn't have done because it was embarrassing, and it should've been kept private. Although the teacher reprimanded him for talking about me behind my back, she scolded me too for sharing the screenshot. I said it was clearly justifiable and that others should know how bigoted he is. But she insisted that both of us were in the wrong and that each of us should apologise to each other. I refused to do so. AITA?
