Huck, Tom, Sunaina were in Lisa’s friends’ list.
Tom, Lisa were in Sunaina’s friends’ list.

Tom no longer remained in Sunaina’s friends’ list.
The Case:
20 Nov: Huck receives a FB message from Lisa in which she describes that Tom had put some rubbish comments on Sunaina’s wall. Huck condemns it and replies that he would take over the matter with Tom and make him realize his mistake. (At this time, Huck believed that Tom indeed did it)
22 Nov: Huck speaks with Tom over the matter. Tom denies of using any abusive or disrespectful tone with Sunaina. Huck remains confused and trapped not knowing who is faulty.
26 Nov: The issue takes a discussion between Huck and Tom again. Tom re-denies his accusation. Huck retains his earlier state.

Not to mention that Huck and Tom being friends since they were Nursery buds, their relationship had gained their earlier weight; this was proved by a comment by Huck on Tom’s blamed status. Tom too replied positively.
17 Dec: Question remains, who actually created the confusion?
