To expect children not to come between friendship?

Bit of a long story, sorry!
My ddt1 as been unhappy at school for a while, she finally told me this week that she feels she is being bullied by my good friends dd and some other children. She told me some of the things that have been happening and despite my awareness that this is what girls are like i did feel quite unhappy at some of the comments. Consequently rather than approach school, I decided to speak to friend who was incredibly apologetic. Our conversation was in no way a confrontation, more of a what shall we do about this situation. Anyway this week i happened to have to go into school during lunch hour, and on my arrival i found my dd sobbing at the school fence. It broke my heart, she was very, very upset. It was at this point I decided to make school aware as it involves more children than just my friends dd. Anyway i spoke to the teacher and told my friend i had done so, again she was understanding, apologetic and quite cross with her dd. Teacher spoke to the children in circle time and since i have brought all my children home for lunch (dd crying in front of two teachers who did nothing was enough to make me decide to bring them home).
Anyway friend was decidedly cool with me yesterday and today seemed to go out of her way to avoid me and despite our paths crossing on two occasions she acted as if she hadn't seen me. Now i don't really want to to get into an arguement with her but I am completely bemused as to what the problem is. I spoke to her about this situation in the hope of finding some resolution. I'm not sure whtehr to leave it a few days and see if things improve or email her and just ask her if things are okay? Suggestions please, have i been unreasonable?
