TIFU by asking a girl to prom

Edit 2: wow, did not think people would actually get mad about this. But to clear things up:

1) there was no emotional manipulation or abuse - I don't even know how this bullshit got fabricated, but there was no manipulation or abuse. She lied, I found out, I called her out on it. end of story. (if you read the whole thing, you would've seen that I didn't speak to her for a week afterwards.) no one else dogged on her about it - believe me, I know. We had lots of classes together and shared the same group of friends. It was a said once and never mentioned again. How people judged her for it is out of my control.

2) no one was ostracized. She didn't go with anyone else because no one else asked her. Probably because our friend told our close group of friends about this and they made their own conclusions. But somehow this is my fault right? Not the fact that she lied, it's the fact that she lied and I called her out for it. I'm just such a terrible person, I know.

3) I'm not "overpowering" her as a friend. I think it is perfectly acceptable to expect the same respect you give to a friend out of them too. And if they don't give it back, then why be friends with them? I made it perfectly clear how she was going to be considered a friend again and she agreed with me.

4) what is wrong with you people? Can someone not call someone out for lying without being called abusive or a manipulator? like seriously, take your judgmental bullshit somewhere else. How about you ask more questions before coming to conclusions? There's a thought right there.

5)This girl has changed a lot. I guess I didn't clearly state this but she used to be a a devious lyer in HS. I noticed this about her a long time before I asked her. I figured we had a good enough thing to where she wouldn't treat me like the others but I was clearly wrong. Why I was friends with her I don't know, but we seemed to get along so why fight something that doesn't need fighting.
