Chairs, and why they bug me.

Hi, I am usually not the one to bring something up but this situation has been on going for a while and I just need to get it off my chest. Last year I was placed in a group as 4th while my fellow friend was 9th, she was rather upset with me and didn't talk to me for a while, when as a friend she should have been congratulating me. She did not make it in to our orchestra and was upset but we vowed to make it together next year. Well this year comes around, and im 4th again and she doesn't make orchestra, which stirred up drama in the section, which I wanted no part of, I really did feel bad but she had some pretty nasty and hurtful comments to say about me. Well a week before our concert the switch out chairs so I was moved from 4th to 6th, and the conductor said they did it so the 2nd clarinets could "hear" me better, when my teacher asked me what happened she said she was told I played too loud, when the conductor never said so. I think the girl who is now 4th told her or someone else (9 out of the 12 of us take lessons from the same teacher) that I played too loud. It just bugs me because I fear being moved will now prohibit the chances of me being on first part next year, and I work so hard. The conductor was firm on the decision but last year me being 4th was fine but im significantly better now. This doesn't make sense, can someone help?
