someone backstabbed me after an offer just before the end of a school year, and may not know that I'm a person they actually know - June 22nd 2015, 06:00 AM

I would say that on about May 21st or so, a person at my school (in a grade level lower than me; I graduated in the 12th grade class of 2015, and she'll be in 12th grade this September and graduate in 2016) instructed me to join twitter and follow her on it. I am a newbie to twitter as I have never used it before until this person told me to join her and another person on it, and so it took me a while to figure out how to use it.

This was a person at my school who was literally 112% friendly to me from the start of this school year to the end. She was never mean or frustrated with me. I never did anything to annoy or offend her in any of the 178 instructional days at school this year. Another friend of hers, was also perfectly nice to me and vice versa, and they would interact with me many times.

By the first week of June (which was the last week of instruction at my school for graduating 12th grade students, and for everyone else school ended like June 19th) after figuring out how to use it, they asked me again, and then told me to follow her and another neighboring person.

Anyway, on June 18th I tried to start a conversation on twitter with these people. It seemed like they were just shockingly disappointed at me out of the blue. One of them literally blocked me, I mean seriously, after she's the reason why I joined twitter and talked to her on it: because she wanted me to. The conversation was about me saying (after it's been hot where I live for the last several days) things about Alaska and cold weather. I asked if they would like to live in a place like Alaska, and I said that I thought that it's 10x easier to deal with cold weather vs hot weather (I have preferred that for the last several years). Was there anything wrong with what I said? They were perfectly nice to me all of the 2014-15 school year, at least, if not other school years before it. I was treated like I'm some stupid stranger idiot, and not the real person they know.

I'm also worried that I made a mistake in this case.

The main problem is that I'm also thinking about the likelihood that they may not know (one of them, at least) that I'm actually the student they told to join twitter with them before school ended. The one who blocked me, probably didn't even look at my profile, she just clicked the tweet and hit block. Because other than that, this wouldn't make sense. You wanted me to join you on this place, and now you're screwing me over and backstabbing me.

One of the people are probably telling other people on twitter that (some strange person) is talking about cold weather, and says that she wouldn't want to spend a single night in Alaska not even in the summer. This is another piece of proof she wouldn't know who I am. I have had numerous conversations to them in the 2014-15 school year about many things that interest me. Because I'm a newbie to the place, and know no one else that uses twitter, means I have no one to help me.
