Heh no.

Ok story time.
----
I met him around a year ago. Due to scholarship/education purposes I had moved to his school. I immediately grew friends with one guy which I had played against, knew from soccer etc..
So I basically got involved in his group. Anyway I got to know the entire group pretty well and it all seemed alrite. The opposition in question will be referred to as "D" from this point. Anyway due to my sports club I get free football tickets. I saw this as a good opportunity to bond more so I invited my main friend, and on his advice, D to a few soccer matches, tickets courtesy of me.
Anyway we all got on great (or so I thought). I became better friends with D. He invited me down to his family-run fish shop on several occasions. He seemed very genuine and was pretty happy that I agreed to go.
Anyway for a few weeks nothing really occurred. Then I noticed that D was acting strangely around me, notable ignoring me at times and stating aggressive things towards me. I decided it might have just been his own issues. Anyway it continued so I asked my main friend if he knew what was up. He obviously knew something but encouraged me to confront him.
So I went over to him and asked him what was up. He stated that he was sick of me, deemed me "annoying", and poorly tried to act as if he was concerned that I wasn't friendly/social enough with other peers at the school. He stated that as a new friend that I shouldn't be privileged to hang around them whenever I wanted only 2/3 days a week.
No one else in the group said anything similar. So, attempting to reconcile what was already a lost cause, I bonded with other peers and got involved with other friends.
However my main friend was still in that group. We were in the same 5-a-side side and met each other outside of school regularly.
Anyway for 3 months it was pretty much uneventful. However I was still getting the same **** from D. I then confronted him again and told him that I had done what he advised. This time he was a lot more aggressive and abrupt. He failed to answer my questions about his aggression/hate towards me apart from generic aggressive responses. At this point my main friend began talking to D about his aggression/hatred towards me. He knew that D was against me for no reason and he stated that. He pretty much just assured my D was a bit daft/aggressive. My thoughts was that he felt threatened by myself.
So my intention was to pretty much avoid him at all costs. Which was working well for a while. I actually thought he might have apologized or atleast we could of got on as casual acquaintances. It hindsight I pretty much let him win mentally then and there. I was giving in.
Anyway my attempts to avoid him obviously changed when he was trialled into my football side. He immediately became the centre of attention in the side. Due to his large figure he was able to control the ball for large periods without being tackled fully. He was very predictable, and when marked fully was near useless. He was a hog, going games where he'd shoot from long-range instead of passing to 3 or 4 open teammates. He was trialled in an upper side because they need a strength player like him. He played one game and was told he was not needed.
Anyway I just avoided him but obviously my football play was suffering.
Anyway today my friend and a few others were talking football. I stated that he was a hog and just booted it. In other terms, ****. It was perhaps a stupid move on my part.
Well my friend did mention this to D which did **** me off. I don't think he did it to **** me himself. I'm still gonna query my friend at how this came up.
So D happened to come over and started pushing me around and said he was going get me etc.
It was just trash-talk. Basically he stated that tomorrow was the date, not for a formal fight, but for him to attack me.

Yeh it might be a childish series of circumstances.
