Why did he stop talking to me?

Anonymous

There is this guy. He used to talk to me (asking generic questions) only when we were alone. When there were his best friends around, he used to make fun of me and when there would be many people around, he used to totally ignore me.

Then, I heard some people saying that this guy and I were a thing. I stopped them. His best friends heard me, and asked me what were they talking about. I told them the rumor. They looked surprised, laughed and told me not to take it personally.

I told them it felt so wrong for both myself and especially this guy (some years ago there was a girl who said that they were a thing when this was not true) I really felt bad for him. When I told them this, they looked shocked, then smiled and walked away.

I was nearby when his best friends told him what happened and I overheard him say "she really did that? There was no need for her to do so" and "oh... now I feel ashamed for all the times I made fun of her". From that moment, he became very quiet (never saw him like this) and did not even utter a word or looked at me for a whole day.

Why wouldn't he talk to me? Not even a hello...
