You are not acting like a middle-schooler. You are feeling like a middle-schooler. Decoding this universal transference, I'll explain it this way: When adults fall in love (no matter our age), we feel like a high-schooler. When we are snubbed or excluded, we feel like a middle-schooler.
Shelley chose a crowded social event to pounce upon you and ask if you could forgive her. This is a genius middle-school move (also used by trained assassins in action movies) because it prevents you from reacting in front of a crowd. But Shelley forgot something. She forgot to apologize.
