First of all, I was supposed to be meeting her for a cup of tea, but I forgot I had a driving lesson in my home town an hour and a half away, so I'd never have made it in time. I cancelled the day before and she was huffy about it and is still being off with me about it, even though I was supposed to go shopping with her the week before and she never told me a time or anything so I was just sat there waiting in the house, then expected me to travel up for half an hour when she finally got in touch?! Also, I arranged to give her birthday present and waited 35 mins in the cold for her before I had to get on the bus as I had a deadline for an essay. I texted saying I had to go soon for the bus and she said she'd be five minutes (this was after half an hour of waiting) so I agreed to wait and then messaged her again asking where she was as it had been already 15 mins, and she said 'Oh you said you were going' with nothing more written. I'm so annoyed and her birthday is tomorrow with her sister who dislikes all her friends, and another girl who doesn't like me. If my friends in a huff with me I dont really want to go, plus I'm super annoyed that she wasn't here in time yet again (shes usually very late and never says sorry). Do you think I have a right to be angry?

Let this one slide. Wait until after the party before you do anything. Then after that, if she's still the same, talk to her about it.

Do you think I should mention that I was unhappy with her not being on time to get her birthday present, or just let it slide and pretend that I'm okay with it? Thanks!

Yes you do! However, handle this maturly and you'll be better for it. Go to the party and be a good friend. Then, if she's still huffy with you after that, you'll have to speak to her and ask her why she seems unhappy with you. My theory is there's something else that's making her unhappy, perhaps that doesn't even involve you. Go to the party, try and have a good time and if she's still huffy after that, speak to her.
