We also decided that we wanted to break up before i started college so that i dont loose any exams or nothing because of a emotional break down but now she is telling me that one of her bestfriends is having a dinner party at a restaurant on the same day that we agreed to do it. She is telling me that she cannot choose between the 2 events(birthday or braking up) because the both are too important to her. She has asked me to join her bffs party and then break up but i dont want it to be that way.... Sadly I dont know if I am over reacting or not. Do you think I should go with her and break up afterwards or dont go and make her stay with me for that day?

 Make her stay with you for the day? To me that sounds selfish, she should go to the dinner, you should go to, but if you don't want to then let her go on her own. Breaking up is not easy but it shouldn't be about you both spending the full day together, it will only make things harder. You have both made your choice it is time to start living that choice.

 If you intend to be friends then start now. Go to the dinner party as best friends. You have in effect already agreed to separate. Go and have dinner and later hug, then shake hands, walk away and don't look back.
You can always keep in touch if you want to. Whatever feels comfortable.
