Did Wrong?

I have this female friend in my department who’s quite fond of me. We are really good friends just platonic, nothing more. Recently, she mentioned she’d be visiting me, but she didn’t give me a heads-up.
We had a conversation, and as I was about to leave for home, she casually mentioned that she would come over the next week. Well, the next week rolled around, and yesterday she told me to wait a bit so she could grab her bag and come to my place.
I wasn’t really on board with that. I felt uncomfortable because we usually discuss these things beforehand. It shouldn’t have been presented as a surprise; it felt unexpected and a bit like an emergency. I didn’t plan for her visit, and I wasn’t prepared at all.
After much pleading and trying to find the right words, I finally told her that I wouldn’t appreciate her coming over that particular day. To my surprise, she took offense. I felt pretty annoyed; instead of understanding where I was coming from, it seemed my words had hurt her.
When we saw each other at school today, she wouldn’t speak to me. Not a single word. I could see the disappointment in her eyes, and I knew that I had let her down. But the truth was, I simply wasn’t willing to have visitors that day. It didn’t feel right to invite her over when I hadn’t planned for it, I just knew it wasn’t the best idea.
