I had this friend for a few months, and at the time, I was out at school pretty proudly, and she seemed supportive. But I kept asking her if she could refer to me using he/they pronouns instead of she/her exclusively, but she never listened, so I kinda put that up to her just forgetting. About 6 weeks ago tho, I snapped at her a bit, and I called her transphobic (as far as I knew, she didn't call any other trans people by the right pronouns either, but she's started calling her transfem ex by she/they pronouns in a gc we're both in and she does refer to one other trans person I can think of by the right pronouns) and she hasn't spoken to me since.

A week after that, (or about 5 weeks ago,) I texted her to say that she was being a bitch and needed to grow up and I said that I finally understood why she didn't have any healthy long lasting relationships. (I was mad, ok?) But today, two of her friends texted me from her number, and they basically just threw random curse words at me, but one text was a literal death threat. I know that the main girl drinks and probably does some drugs as well, and I don't doubt that some of her friends would too (she's told invited me to parties with her friends who can drive (we're minors) and similar stuff), so I also don't doubt that they would 100% go thru with that threat. Besides, I don't even know the two other girls' faces or even last names, so I can't avoid them.

I don't have a lot of friends in other classes at school so it's highly likely that they would be able to catch me alone at some point or another, and if I ask a teacher or something if I can move classes I'd have to show them the texts which would get the other girls in trouble, probably leading to me getting hurt in some way. I also can't tell my family (as well as yet another reason I can't tell a teacher or anything) because they're transphobic and a bit homophobic, so that would just make things worse.

I don't know what to do anymore and I need help.

How old is everyone in this situation? I notice you say school and classes, but unsure if we're talking college-age or high school.
