[quote=Anonymous]OP - a flaky “friend” is just that - flaky, Regardless of why he flaked out last minute, even if it’s something about your DS being too this or that. The friend still agreed initially. A flaky person is not a friend. Maybe a compartmentalized acquaintance at best, i.e. someone to chat with on the walk to school perhaps… but not a friend. I would advise DS as such, don’t pour any emotions into this kid, don’t hope or strive for any closer friendship. Just be cordial yet know what your boundaries are regarding this person - meaning walk to school chatter. Nothing more. 
In this case, no need to bring it up. If he really wants too, his choice. Either way, he shouldn’t be looking for anything from this other kid- not looking for an apology or for him to feel bad or a closer friendship. Even a tween knows better than to flake out.Maybe one day said tween will truly change and be friend-worthy and DS can cross that bridge when he comes to it but most likely this will not happen and DS has learned the valuable lesson to believe people when they tell you who they are. That lesson was worth one sucky Halloween night. 
All the best to your DS. [/quote]
