This happened yesterday and came to a head today.
Let me start off by saying that I am 19 years old and a male. I'm currently in college studying law. Our class groups have class WhatsApp groups where we can discuss anything college related. Due to a shake-up in the groups this year, I am still part of my old group's WhatsApp group. Anyway, most of the people in my group have a problem with our class representative because they feel that he is doing less than the bare minimum. And cue the fuck up.
Last night, it was announced on the group that the class representatives would be having a meeting, and the other group's class representative asked if there were any issues he should bring forward. A girl in my group asked if he could speak on behalf of our group, as our class representative doesn't do a whole lot to help us out. We'll call this representative "Brad". I figured that this was a good opportunity to start a little drama. I said that it was funny that Brad wasn't a good class representative, seeing as he talked big. A girl from the other group asked me if we raised concerns about anything to Brad on the group, and I said that we did, but that nothing really got done. The representative from the other group told us that we should email the relevant people to complain if we had a problem with our class representative.
Today, Brad came up to me and asked me if there were any complaints I had. I said no because I couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't escalate the situation. He walked off. Class went on as usual. Then, at the end of the class, Brad came up to me.
He said that he saw the messages I had sent. At this point, I realised that I was fucked. He told me that in the future, he would appreciate it if I told him I had a problem with him to his face. I apologised and said that I would take that into account. He seemingly scowled at me, and then walked off.
For the rest of the day, I was feeling very stressed. And I naturally began to formulate scenarios in my head. I somehow came to the conclusion that my crush, we'll call her Carly, was involved because I could see looking at her phone intently as we went for our ten minute break that we get in between class sessions. I also heard what sounded like Carly mentioning my name to a friend of hers, as I was asked a question by our lecturer and required to give him my name. So, now I'm making up scenarios in my head based on a stupid thing I said, and I'm shaking at the possibilities that could arise.
TL;DR I talked shit on a class WhatsApp group and was found out.
