Maybe going a bit too far
It was my birthday last wednesday, and my friends forgot, no biggie. I saw them yesterday, and I decided to see what their reaction would be. As I predicted, they were in shock at first, left speechless at the words I spoke to them: "my friends forgot my birthday".
For a moment I thought that they were gonna start laughing, I did. But they didn't. Their faces turned pale, like I had told them the biggest tragedy. They couldn't look me straight in the eyes, and where I heard laughs and giggles with happy faces, now was only silence.
I tried to make a joke of it after that, I started to feel bad for them. And they just kept going back to the subject. Every now and again I would catch one of them looking at me with a "I am so sorry, I'm the worst friend ever" look.
I left after about an hour. They seemed not ok. Not my fault.
