foreman doesnt like me

so i am an ironworker apprentice (19F) and ive been with my company for 9 months. we build bridges welding and installing the metal decking and rebar for bridge decks. Ive been working with my foreman (26M) since i started and the vibe has shifted drastically. When i first started he would always talk to me about random shit, correct my mistakes, show me what to do etc. I learned alot from him and hes a great leader, but recently I have been feeling tension at work when im around him. Everything at my job felt fine until he invited his highschool friends onto our crew. I found out all his buddies were all talking shit about me (2 out of 3 quit after a month btw) and i thought nothing of it. Then I noticed my foreman barely talking to me unless i ask him a question, i get excluded from conversations, leaving me to work by myself, ignored when i try talking to them. Yesterday i got sent to a job and was told our work wasn‘t ready after an hour of waiting. My foreman put in that hour for himself and my coworker, but not for me. Immediately contacted my payroll manager and she said she would handle it and id absolutely should get paid for that hour.



I just cant figure out what i did wrong for my foreman and coworker to not like me. I feel conflicted because my intentions with this job was to learn how to weld and get certified, but now i wouldn’t mind switching crews and becoming a rodbuster. I just can’t stand coming to work and feeling like a burden. I would be much happier if he would talk shit to my face upfront instead of behind my back like a teenager. I think if nothing gets better I’m going to let my supervisor know how i feel.
