Why are my crush’s friends suddenly nice to me?

Anonymous
My crush has a circle of close friends. One guy and a girl. Some of us share mutual friends as well. My crush became distant from me out of nowhere and he seemed more negative. His friends that I never met before started mocking me and even talking about me while I was in the room. It was like they were blaming me for something. This was going on for 8 months. But one thing they said to him is “I think (me) has a crush on you” and another said him and I are cute together (him and I spent a lot of time together before).

My crush is still distant but I see a change in his friends. I saw his buddy today and he smiled at me. He used to blankly start at me with a straight face. The girl friend in their group actually talked to me briefly.

I literally just kept to myself. I don’t know if these are signs of things going back to normal with my crush or not.
