AITJ for not telling my coworkers I'm not around they're age.

I (10-13M) work with a group of people . Yes I know that's vague but ignore that.

My coworkers (that I personally work with)are around they're 30s-40 with the youngest being 26 and called 'the baby's of the group.

I was given this job by my mentor but I swear I worked hard to get here too.

Now the problem is that they didn't know my age, I don't show my face much(like at all), not to mention I have voice training so my voice sounds older. We've called a few times and talked but they've never really seen me.

Now it was during an emergency where my age got revealed. Obviously we were busy so we talk about it but now I can feel the distrust and distance between us.

I actually really like these people and I liked being one of the 'heavy hitters' and top person to go to for help but now they're treating me with kids gloves and thoughts about whether I should still be in the same room as them.

I'm gonna be honest it sucks, and considering I've pretty much been moved everywhere as a foster kid, from Gotham to Fawcett city, I kinda counted on these adults.

So I came here to ask AITJ

So hi I 13(f) am friends with another 13(f)we'll call her Jazzy(it's our nickname for her).

So me and Jazzy have been friends for years and we've never really been that athletic until last year when we both signed up for the volleyball team, I of course was really happy to have a friend there and it was fun. Now this year we're still kinda on a roll, trying out again for the volleyball team and now it's track and field season.

Now the moments tryouts started I told her we could tryout for shotput together she said sure and she made it and I'm happy for her, I was of course was but what could you do.

Then long jump comes around and I specifically ask her"hey, you're already running relay, and doing shotput, do you think you could not try out for long jump or turbo javelin, or at least on of the other" and I have continued to say that and her answer has been along the line of "oh well we'll see."

Which is kinda getting me upset because she just tried out for long jump(and made the team, I didn't unfortunately" and the entire time she was complaining"oh I don't even know why I'm doing this. I'm so tired with my other things. Why am I here" and the entire time I was thinking yeah why are you here, if you don't want to be here then go away. But alas.

Anyway I just wanted to ask if I'm in the wrong before being upset that she tried out for those things, thankfully she was away on the days for turbo javelin so she couldn't try out, ask for details in the comments and as always AITA

Update: I just wanna make it clear that yeah I'm most like the AH but let me clear it up. She had no interest in the fields until I mentioned them and she didn't even have any other reason when I asked her. And I'm happy for her, but I just wanna know if I HAVE that right to feel a little upset bc I think I do, a neutral friend told me to try this bc I was asking for how to bring it up 2 weeks ago.
