Friend problems? How can i fix this and what can i say?

Question

So at my school i am close friends with two girls, lets call them S and H. I love them both heaps, and we are all really good friends. H and I are very close and we do things together that S doesn't know about. It's not because we want to hide it from her, but more that it's just kind of an 'us' thing, that other people wouldn't understand very well. So H and I went camping recently, which S didn't know about. One of my other friends, while i was on the train with S and this other friend (lets call her A) asked me what i was doing on the holidays. I replied that i was going camping, which just kind of slipped out even though i shouldn't have really told anyone. A asked me who i was going camping with, and i told a white lie, and said I was going with another friend of mine, so that S wouldn't get upset. I didn't want S to think that me and H were doing things without her, and i didn't want to hurt her. So i left it at that, and both A and S thought i was going camping with this other friend.

So then, after coming home from camping with H, my mum went shopping and saw S at her work, where they started a conversation. S asked my mum what she'd been upto, and mum replied that she'd just picked me up from camping with H. Mum didn't know that S didn't know, and so now, S is really annoyed that i've lied to her (which i really shouldn't have done), and so you see my problem.

Sorry if this was confusing, i tried to make it as clear as possible.
I just need to know what i can say to S to get our friendship back. It was just that i wanted to spend some time alone with H, and i like to spend time alone with S too - because i like one on one time with my friends.

What can i say to S? H is also upset with me for lying to S. I feel like i'm losing my friends.
Please nothing horrible, i just need some help after such a stupid mistake. I love my friends so much.

Answer 1

did you say sorry? cause the first thing you need to do is to say sorry to both H and S.

just tell S that you and H went camping without asking her. and that youre very sorry. i would tell her the truth. that you like one on one time more. (althought i think that you like H a lot more)

and tell H that you didn't want your frend S to be mad so you told her a lie. she should understand. ask her how she would respond to S if it were her. i mean, its hard to tell a friend that you didnt invite them.

Answer 2

I think you should just tell S that you did not mean to hurt anyones feelings. And you feel really bad about the whole thing, and you don't want her to not be her friend anymore. Good luck. I hope you guys all make up.

Answer 3

i know what you mean. apoligize of course and tell them how you really feel. the spending time alone and with them. after you say sorry and what not if they still act all weird say something like, " you guys are acting kind of imature about this or why exactly are you so upset?" you get what i mean. good luck
