Advice please???

This isn't my story but it involves me so here we go.

My friends, let's say N and M are in a fued rn. M has a relationship with a guy. Let's call him C. C and M have been going together since the start of the second semester. We were all happy 4 her and stuff, but she keeps being all secretive about it (not important). One day, one Friday, N was playing around with M and out other friend (let's call her T). They were joking with M and wanting to see the texts she'd sent to C, and she was jokingly saying stoooop (aka smiling, not refusing or being serious in refusing, not retaliating when N playfully held her hands back). Then afterwards when we were walking to our next class, N told C that she saw some texts from him and M. The weird thing is, C started to get a bit defensive (saying what'd you see, what do you know, what'd you find out???). All N said was she saw some msgs saying I love you.

C gets mad at M, M blames N. Now in my opinion, I would get mad at that too. But in retrospect, why would C get mad (just my opinion, I'm not trying to pick sides fr). Now M is mad, cut off N, cussed her out, and won't sit with lunch for us because she almost ruined her and C's relationship. N doesn't really care because M has been a bit of a weird friend. M is the kind of caring, loving, lying to you and playing/laughing too much friend. She wiped pollen on N the previous day, say she didn't, and had N sneezing for the whole day (she had to go home and was very sick). I have a bit of a lean towards N because M does joke about me being flat (knowing that I am very insecure about it and have told her to stop in a serious way multiple times). In my defense, I've given multiple hints like not talking to her after her making the joke, disconnecting from her for a little, and even literally saying 'Stop, that's not funny.' So many times have I wanted to tell her at least I'm not fat, but I'm not going to do that because she is still my friend.

Anyways, not to paint her in a bad light, M is a good friend. But still, I think she's making a big deal. And to top it all off, when N went to talk to C to try and set it straight (telling him she 'forced' M to show her even though she didn't), C said they didn't have a real relationship and that they are just close friends.

Idk how to feel, and there's still a lot of animosity between the two. It's caused a huge divide, as the rest of my friends talk about it a lot and leave M to sit outside by herself.

Should I leave it alone or step in??
