Boy problems... was he joking ?

We've been friends since third grade, but after like 3 years of separate middle schools, we have most classes together. we are fairly good friends. we text some. I help him with girl problems. most of the time I have to initiate the conversation first. or if I bug him jokingly in class and say "you never initiate texts" he will. and I always say "you don't have to if you don't want to.

he goes to bed pretty early around 9:30-ish because he has sports. but I texted hiim friday night and he never replied (I sorta knew, but he was going to bed) . and that was at 9:47t.

during a break we had, I asked why he never texted me back and he told me. said he went to bed really early andit was true. then he asked if anyone saw SNL on saturday. and I jokingly said "wait... you go to bed early but you somehow find a way to stay up late?!"

we were in a group of people. and our friend (his very BFF guy friend) said "HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU." and yelled it. I mean... it was really rude. and it took me by surprise because he seemed serious. and I was thinking WFT... so I just stayed calm and said " I just like to talk to people.haha"

was he serious? the yelling kid? what would you do in this situation? ask my guy friend to I text? (I sorta like him...) I was thinking of just not texting him and sorta avoiding him. and just laying low for awhile.
we are both 15 btw
