Ok so I was at work and I was texting my friend. We were supposed to hang out after work. And right before my shift she's like can you give me a ride home I don't live that far. I said I can't. (because I'm saving up for money on a new car that I HAVE to buy). And she's like why not. I'm like because I can't drive a lot only the places I have to go to if you want a ride home you need to give me at least 5 dollers on gas. She said "No your a cheap girl your my friend you should give me a ride home" and I got really hurt by that I said fine we won't hang out. And she still wanted to hang out with me. I didnt want to since she called me a cheap girl. But I dont give free rides. Gas is really expensive. So we didn't hang out. Then she texts me and acts like nothing happened. Do you think shes using me? Do you thnk I should not be friends with her? I'm not a cheap girl , and I dont deserve to be treated like that. My best friend always pays me for gas money because I take her everywhere.
Should I stop being her friend? (link)

I think you should look at this from both sides.
First, from your side.
I think it was rude of her to call you cheap and try to force you into giving her a ride home. Gas is expensive and it is good that you want to save money.
However, considering she was only asking for a ride once, I don't think she was using you. She wanted to hang out and had a hard time finding a ride home. Remember how annoying it was to need a ride everywhere before you started to drive. The fact that she wanted to hang out even after you said no to giving her a ride tells me she wasn't using you. If you were my friend and wouldn't give me a ride home just once, I would probably think you were cheap too.
By not bringing it up again, I think she's moved on from the situation and you should too. Don't ruin a friendship over one little argument.
Good Luck,
-Abby
