Am I bad person/ bully?

So I'm in 8th grade and have these 2 best friends let's call them Lily and Alison. So Lily and I have been best friends since Kindergarten and we do everything together and everyone knows that.[ We've been friends with Alison since 6th grade). So this week Lily and I were joking around by putting garbage on Alison's desk.[ We do that to each other too and go into each other's pencil cases and lunch pails when we want something and I don't think Alison really understands that friends joke around all the time and that's what friends are for] And we were passing notes but they weren't about Alison we just said things like Ughhh I hate Language or this math is so stupid. And Alison said she saw her name on one of them but I just asked Lily if she wanted to hang out with Alison at lunch because Lily and Alison don't get along very well[ some days I have to split my lunch and hang out with Alison for one Half and Lily the other] and Alison took it the wrong way thinking I was saying Ughhh we should ditch this loser. And Alison is very sensitive and at the end of the day she cried about it. So, today Lily and I got in trouble by the principal[ she is a f****n b***h and everyone hates her] and she called Lily and I b****es and bullies and made us feel like horrible people.

And I was wondering what do you think are we horrible people and bullies.

Update:

I really appreciate it if you read the whole thing, I know it was long and thanks in advance.

And I also apologize for the grammar I was angry/ sad really couldn't care less about the grammar.

Update 2:

@Mason while I'm not going to do those things to her I do agree some of the things you said.

Update 3:

@ Katie Ferguson Lily ripped it up like she does with all our notes

    When the bully becomes the vic, s/he changes and gets on the right path, and fast.

    Well, look at it in Allison's eyes. She's sensitive, having trouble fitting in, and had two 'friends' put garbage on her desk and write mysterious notes to each other right afterwards. Obviously you and Lily are not bullies, nor is Allison a *****, it's all mostly a series of misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

    I don't think she meant to get you two in trouble, she was probably just very upset and complained to her parents, whom in turn complained to the Principle. That happens a lot, parents tend to think that kids can't handle themselves or grow from bad experiences, especially if they had to deal with Allison crying and being so sad.

    You and Lily seem like close friends, and two very kind young ladies. I know it's annoying and a hassle to deal with some people you might not like, but I suggest being up front with Allison. That's the best way to handle everything, just be completely truthful. Tell her that you and Lily never meant to hurt her feelings, and if you did then you have no clue how or why. Tell her that you want to be her friend, but if she doesn't accept your other friends or keeps assuming that you want to hurt her, than you'll have no choice but to not be friends, and as a sign of your friendship, give her a gift or do something nice to her, just to make her smile. If she still acts overly sensitive and she still assumes that you're out to get her, than leave her be. Don't talk about her or bother her anymore, just ignore her and let her sort out her own emotional problems.

    Overly sensitive people like Allison will show up in your life all over the place, the most important thing to do is to learn to be the better person and be nice, it also helps to be truthful and open to make it easier for people to trust you. Even if it may not work out all the time, if you try to do these things, you will NEVER be a bully, you will stay the same good, caring person you are now.

    No, that doesn't make you a bad person. But you should tell Alison how you act around her when your with Lily. Because if i were her i would kinda get mad & be offended as if you dont like me. Even though you & alison have been knowing each other for a long time, still be nice to new friends that come along the way & try to make peace between the two of your friends because if you loved them you would make the best of each others company.

    I like your style. 1: you are not a bully. If you really want to be a bully to this "allison" what you should do is take he cell phone and call 911. Maybe after that you can put your chewing gum in the sandwich she packs for lunch. If you really want to get her good, make fun of her outfit and then the next day wear the same one. It's time to make her cry for real. She probably faked the crying just to get you in trouble. F**k that b****h.
