one of my friends is acting weird and idk what to do
The story
so today I had a really late bus so I missed the beginning of the day and got to school closer to the end of homeroom. When we were transitioning to related arts, I noticed one of my friends acting weird. He was being almost antisocial. I caught up with him and asked him if he was ok, and he nodded. This was weird, because he's usually really talkative.
Later, when we were going to our second related arts (which me and him share), I was busy typing something on my Chromebook and didn't notice him standing in the middle of the hall waiting for someone or something, but he didn't try to get my attention or anything. So I just went to the band locker room and got my instrument, not giving it any thought. But as I was leaving the locker room with my instrument to go to the band room, he was laughing and chatting like normal with one of our other friends who's also in band with us. Once again, I didn't think much of it.
But after class, during transition, he wouldn't even look at me, but was laughing and chatting as usual with some of our other friends. I was busy fangirling over Kpop idols with the Kpop half of the friendgroup (our friendgroup has two halves: us Kpop fans, and what I call the Freaky Ones), so I didn't pay much attention, but now that I'm sitting in class thinking about it... he was acting really weird. Usually me and him talk a lot, but he hasn't said a word to me today.
I've had many arguments with him in the past, but we always forgive each other. But today, he seems upset with me for reasons I can't explain. I haven't even had an argument with him lately. I'm just so confused. Honestly I'd rather he just tell me what I did so I can fix it, rather than ignore me and let me try to guess what I did to upset him. Literally, he knows the best way to handle any problems he has with me because of a little incident at the beginning of the year that resulted in me bawling my eyes out in confusion, so he should know that being direct with me is the only way to fix things.
I'm really just so confused, can someone please help?

you know, reading your story felt so relatable, and I totally get where you're coming from. it's like we've all had those days where, out of nowhere, someone who's usually super chatty just goes radio silent on us. i completely agree that it’s better when people just come right out and say what’s bothering them. reminds me of this quote from a friend of mine who always says, "communication is key," and honestly, it's so true. i've had situations like this too, where a friend acted all distant, and it turned out to be a huge misunderstanding. it’s like, without knowing what's up, we're left playing detective and guessing games. i feel you, it's mind-boggling sometimes. there’s this book i read once that mentioned miscommunication being the root of so many problems, and i couldn't agree more. in situations like these, i just try to keep the vibes positive and reach out again later. you never know, sometimes a simple chat clears the fog. hope it all works out! 😊
hey there, I gotta say I kinda see this a bit differently. it's all too easy to jump to conclusions, but maybe there's stuff going on with your friend that's not about you at all. ever heard the saying, "don't assume, communicate"? it's a golden rule I live by. one time, I thought a friend was mad at me because they were acting odd, but turns out they were just stressed about school. sometimes we gotta take a step back and remember that everyone’s dealing with their own battles you know. 😅 if you focus too much on guessing what went wrong, you might miss the opportunity to just be there as a friend. in my opinion, reaching out once more when things are a bit cooler, might open up the avenues for a chat and clear up any misunderstanding. hope it all sorts itself out for you!
I understand, but his behavior is directed at me and only me. But I'll try to talk with him about it. Thank you!
