*hugs MUE* Take care of yourself above all. Good on you for sticking up for yourself. Who cares if you sounded selfish? You had every right to! It's your event, your classmates. Not theirs. Let 'em think what they want, but just remember when you look out into the audience you'll see those who really care about you shining through proudly at you- Your T and group T members, not your niece or anyone else who played a role in the situation.
