I(15F) have 3 friends: Sally(14F), Lily (14F), and Riley(15F). 2 of my friends (Sally and Lily) got into an argument. I was on Sally's side. This caused me and Lily to also get into an argument. Lily claimed that it was my fault and that I hurt her feelings. I then started to ignore her. I don't think I am the asshole since I had my reasons to ignore her and to be on Sally's side.

Sally has been in a situation ship with a boy named Bob. During this, she gained feelings for him. But later, he decided to end things. He lied to her about why he wanted to end it. This hurt Sally a lot since she knew he was lying. Thankfully, they fixed things and decided to stay as friends. After that, more things happened, which caused their friendship to get more awkward.

One of our friends, Lily, decided to take things into her own hands. She asked Sally if she could send Bob a few messages. Sally said no, but Lily kept on insisting. I also told her not to do it. She did it anyway. The messages she sent him were like, "You're a bitch" and "Stay away from Sally," This made Bob think that Sally was talking behind his back, so he cut off all contact with her. This made Sally even more upset. She got mad at Lily and blamed it all on her. After that, I told Lily to apologize to Sally, and she said she will.

Then 2 weeks later, when Sally and I were ranting to each other, she told me about how Lily didn't apologize. So, I went to talk to Lily the next day. I asked her if she apologized and she said she did. Then she talked about how it was all Sally's fault. When we were talking about it, the bell rang, so we had to go home. I decided to text Riley asking about it, and then she told me that Lily did apologize, but it wasn't genuine. I then asked Sally, and she said the same thing that Riley did.

I texted Lily asking if her apology was genuine, and she said it was. I knew she was lying because of what Riley and Sally said. I told her that Sally felt like the apology wasn't genuine, so she should try again. Lily got mad at me, and she asked why she should apologize first.

I decided to text Sally instead, asking if she could talk to Lily. She said the same thing that Lily did. I started to get upset since they won't listen to my advice.

As I continued to text them, I got annoyed to the point where I snapped. I started cursing at them. I then calmed down. Then I texted both of them and I apologized for snapping at them. Sally forgave me, and she also apologized for bringing me into this mess. But Lily didn't care about my apology. She got even more mad at me. I asked Riley for advice, and she told me to leave her alone, so I did. Later Lily texted me something about school. I was still upset, so I didn't respond. Then, she went to shit-talk me in a different gc. She then texted me saying how I hurt her. I didn't respond since I knew she was trying to guilt trip me into thinking it was my fault. It's the next day and we aren't talking. AITA?
