Hi I’m Hailey (18F) and my friend who I will call Callie (15F) have known each other for little more than a year. We met each other in London when we both went to see Taylor Swift in concert and quickly became friends. We kept in contact on Whatsapp and even our parents follow each other on instagram. During this summer she said we should start calling instead of just texting and we did, which was really nice and I was happy to be able to talk to her like that. The thing is though she lives in France and I’m in the USA. There’s a 6 hour time difference. It wasn’t really a problem since it was summer but now that I’m back in school, the only time we can really text back and forth is when I’m in classes. I obviously don’t call during class and I do a lot of extracurriculars after school so by the time I come home it’s normally around 5pm-7pm EST and where she is it’s around 11pm-1am. I thought it was clear that it would be almost impossible to call especially when I finish school at 3pm which only gives us 2 hours before she has to go to sleep. This weekend she has been asking me to call everyday. On Sunday she asked again and I thought I would be free after I painted my senior parking spot. I finished around 12pm EST but my mom forgot to tell me my grandma wanted to get lunch with us afterwards so I ended up not calling her. I was dumb and forgot to let her know I wouldn’t be able too. After lunch I saw her text asking where I was and she called 5 times. I felt really bad and stupid so I apologized for not letting her know. Callie proceeded to call me an asshole and told me I was just avoiding her because she was too young to be my friend now that I just turned 18 this year. I told her that’s not the reason and I was just busy with my grandma but, she left me on read. I’m not sure what to do and I feel really bad for not letting her know I got busy. Am I an asshole like she said?
