Input: Originally my friend group and I wanted to go on a holiday as a small group with a few of our classmates to celebrate our graduation. This friend group includes me and 3 other friends, let's call them A,B and C. So a close friend of A and B, who is from a different school, was also graduating at the same time, so we invited her as well, let's call her D. So somehow this holiday evolved into a graduation trip with almost everyone in our class joining. They never knew, that we originally only wanted to go as a small group and it was always labeled as a holiday for our class. A and B didn't want to uninvite D, so we just continued our plans with her. No one ever told them that we're bringing someone else.
Friend A ended up not being able to come to this holiday and B voluntarily took up booking the trip, so she didn't have to tell anyone that D was coming as well. We are renting 2 apartments and would have had a spare bed anyways. Most of us are 19-20 and because we're flying to a different country it's quite expensive to most of us. D didn't know that this was a class trip and felt a little akward.
All of this happened about half a year before our supposed trip and I tried to convince B and C multiple times to tell the rest of the class, that D is coming, but they didn't think it was necessary. I talked to a few friends and family and they all agreed that it is kind of shitty to just bring someone on a class holiday without asking. B and C originally planned to have them find out while on the plane. I considered telling our class myself but didn't know how to go about it. I decided I didn't want to take the blame because I didn't invite D and I wanted to tell them all along. Because I didn't want to cause stress in my friend group, especially in our last few weeks, I decided to not tell anyone. I tried to convince them to tell our class a couple times after that and they finally told everyone who will be in our apartment. They didn't think it was a big deal but we're also friends with them. In the other apartment on the other hand there are a few people who will have a bigger reaction.
I feel bad for not telling them and having them find out when we arrive will most likely end in a few arguments. B and C say they won't have to deal with anyone in our class after we graduate and don't really care if they're going to be mad. By now I have given up trying to convince them and just let them deal with the consequences.
AITA? Tldr: my friend is bringing someone on our class holiday. I knew all along but never told anyone. Half of my class still doesn't know.



not telling my class that someone is bringing a friend to our class holiday
