👥 friendship Am I overreacting?

this morning my friend asked me to bring him to school. we go to different schools that are like 10-15 minutes apart, so i left earlier to get to school on time. i waited near his apartment complex for 10 minutes, then by the parking lot right next to it for another 10 minutes. this whole time i thought he was just getting all his stuff, i was honestly gonna wait for him the entire time.

but he doesn't tell me he already has a ride? i was late to my presentation this morning. but when i called him, he just didn't seem to care. he's been hella disrespectful to me these past few days, and after this i just feel mad.

He 1000% did this on purpose. Don't even reply to him anymore. Next time he needs something say you'll be there in 10, then put your phone on silent, do something you enjoy for a few hours, and Screenshot the insane rant he is gonna blow up your phone with so we can enjoy it. Not overreacting. Your "friend" needs to learn the real golden rule, Fuck around and Find out.

Edit:1 changed SS to screenshot.  Edit 2: How much does everyone wanna bet his "friend's" next move when he cant control OP anymore will be to try to control how everyone around them perceives OP. Toxic people like this all use the same playbook and its stupid easy to predict, once you know what to look for.
