Anyway, definitely reconnect with him. Like Pepsi said, life is too short to hold grudges, most of all over something stupid like money - no matter the amount.

It's actually not the amount that's important at all. If you go out to the pub after the game or something with the same group of guys, eventually everybody gets sick of the guy who doesn't chip in enough. It's 100% the symbolic meaning of money. It's saying I'm more important than you. It's also an indication of what your friendship actually is...he wasn't a good friend after all and why bother with a lousy friend.
Also, what if that 5k was super important? What if he couldn't fix his car and get to work? Or what if he couldn't pay his bills and it damaged his credit? It is so incredibly naive to say money is trivial compared to friendship. Exactly the opposite is true.
