Can it be you being a little over-sensitive? The person in question referred to "they", referring to your clique. Sometimes, people don't like cliques, even though certain individuals in them are very nice. Cliques do behave like a separate entity, with its own personality.
So I suppose it is really fine if you go as a well-wisher, with a smile on your face, a gift in hand and a generous heart in you.
Cheers
