Gaslighted.

Months ago (2018-2019?) I had texted a friend whom I thought was my best friend. We used to play together when we were little kids.
This little incident happened around when I was 15. Months ago (2018-2019?), I had confessed my feelings to her, despite us not seeing each other due to me going to an alternative school (an alternative school for mental health students). She told me that she's straight and that she's still comfortable being my friend.

2019, she asked me to go to the movies with her to see Happy Death Day 2 U (a very good movie, btw. 8/10 recommend). I had already seen the movie and I told her that. But since we hardly hung out anymore, I decided that watching the movie again wouldn't hurt, so I told her that I wouldn't mind.
I asked my aunt for money since my mom didn't have any.
We got in the movie room and she didn't even seem interested in the movie; she was looking for someone, expecting someone. She spotted a guy friend of hers in the movie room while the movie was in like the first 10 minutes. This girl ditched me just to go sit with her guy friend. They were sitting several rows down away from me, cuddling in their seats.

Now, the thing with me, I won't get jealous over someone who most likely isn't even mine to begin with, let alone have feelings for me.
When she asked me to the movies, I agreed because I wanted to hang out with her since we hardly even see each other. I agreed because I had no friends and thought she was a real one.
I was angry at her because she ditched me during the whole movie.
Apparently, her mother did not want her to go to the movies with her guy friend (due to obvious reasons. Like, who will let their 15 year old daughter hang out with a male her age?), so she planned the whole thing just to see her guy friend behind her mother's back.

Now, I have been going to the movies by myself since I was 14 years old. Even if her mother didn't allow her to go to the movies alone (maybe she would have. Idk), the so-called friend said that she was scared to go to the movies alone. I wasn't scared because it wasn't my first rodeo.

I felt betrayed by what she did. I texted her the same night, confronting her. She gaslighted me by telling me that I was just jealous. Even after I told her that I had pushed my feelings aside for that whole night, and called her out for how wrong she was for that, she still gaslighted me. I blocked her because I found she made zero sense.

I told her mother.

Saw her at prom. Guess she shurgged that aside since she gave me a smile and hugged me. I took that with a pinch of salt. She was pregnant during prom and just had her baby a couple months ago. She already has a man that is the father. Guess she's happy.

She's so far out and I'm working on my mental health.

@SW-User They are. It's like the people I graduated high school with, or people who I know, but doesn't go to school with them, were getting pregnant in the beginning of the second term of their senior year. They literally timed their pregnancy and took the term, "Finish your books before you get pregnant/Finish school before getting pregnant." Seriously.
My mom told me when I was 12, to finish my books before I date/marry someone. As I grew older, I realized that I'm done looking for a relationship and I want the right one to find me. I just got tired of looking for a relationship to the point where I don't even want to be in one.
