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?

If that was one time that she just slipped, give her one more chance. She shouldnt of called you that. She seems like shes not sympathetic at all. Dont tolerate it if she calls you that. She probably thinks your so sweet youll forgive her every time she does something wrong, and theres no reason to apoligize, and if she doesnt bring it up youll forget about it. If you already have friends that understand sticky situations, you dont need a bully to make you feel bad about yourself. Ive had friends like that, it actually seems we would have alot in common..I had a friend who did that, one day she would hate me the next we would be going on a ski trip and she wouldnt even apoligize! As soon as we got back from the ski trip..she went back to being mean to me. I hope this helps!Rate me if ud like!:) [ sparkle26's advice column | Ask sparkle26 A Question ]

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.
