AITAH for spraying perfume in class and not listening to what people wanted?

Under 18 (ages 13 to 17)

Ok so Im a sophomore in this algebra class with the worst kids you could imagine but my school is well known for having either students who cause trouble, never do their work, or lie. My classes are all chill and quiet except for this one class because most of these are students are annoying and bad. My teacher is almost never out except for meetings or when he is sick and today he was in a meeting which there was a sub in that class and usually I have no problems with the subs esp for the past year, its mostly been chill except for this one I prayed it would be okay since the last time was pretty bad for most students and the sub. I was cool with the sub at first and people actually liked him until I got a perfume out of my pocket from Bath and Body Works exchanging some to my friend which I thought nothing because its Japanese Cherry Blossom which I thought nothing was wrong since the smell is okay for people with a sensitive nose but not with severe allergies to strong smells.

It was all fine but all of a sudden the sub and most of my classmates had a problem which I was confused because some of these people wear perfume and cologne. One person said, "I have a sensitive nose." And another one said, "I have allergies," And again I know these are not true because they wear perfume or cologne then the sub told me to put it away. I did what the sub said at first and sneakily sprayed it on me without anyone knowing except my friend and to explain the smell of Japanese Cherry Blossom smells like a hospital room and its a moderate fragrance. Later I was playing with the cap of the perfume bottle and the sub got mad I was playing with it because he thought I was gonna spray it. This happened for a couple of times and then one of my classmates acted like he was gonna have an allergic reaction from it when I didn't spray it. Before I continue this story, I know what happens when someone is allergic to strong smells because my mother has allergies to strong smells and when I wear strong fragrances I either put it outside and don't come near her for over 10 minutes so she doesn't cough and have a reaction.

Now to continue I got pissed after those of couple of times because the last it happened the sub said, "Do you need to go to the bathroom and do this?!" And at this point I was pissed and felt like I was not understood because I said no and tried explaining that I was just playing with the cap of the perfume but he cut me off instead before I could explain it and my classmates joined in to cut me off as well which my friend also tried to explain the same thing I was trying to explain to the sub. Hopefully my doesn't get a note about it and if he does, I will explain what happened with my friend and I'll have an update in two days about my consequences. So am I AITA?
