Sometimes friends move on without drama. It’s not a betrayal. It’s a season ending.

Not every ending has a villain in it. People change schedules, classes, teams and interests, and a friendship built on shared time can quietly run out of the thing holding it together. Reading that as betrayal gives you someone to be angry at, and it also keeps you attached to an explanation that is not true.

If someone has drifted, you are allowed to feel the loss without filing charges. Send one message if you want to know where things stand. If the answer is silence, let the memory stay good rather than rewriting it as something ugly.
