📝 AITA for not wanting to share a tent with my trans friend?

Hello Reddit, I really need your advice. I (15f) Max (14m) and my friend who I will call Milla(15f) are both in the same homegroup class. We are going on a three-day school camp in a couple of months, and the issue is that we will most likely be forced to share a tent with Max. For context, we go to a girl only school, but Max is a trans guy. I am not homo/transphobic in any way, and him being a trans isn’t the issue at all. Under other circumstances I would be okay with sharing a tent with him. Max and I used to be friends in year 7, but in year 8 he started to act strange. He started e-dating people he met on Roblox, and after that he changed. He always says strange things for example " he looks m0lestable; im gonna fuck my bf(and told me very detailed things); i would fuck all our friends if i could; yelling twink and f slur in class. I asked him to stop on multiple occasions and i was being serious, but after some time he started saying it again anyway. I am trying to distance myself from him, but the problem is he doesn’t have any friends. At lunch he always sits on his laptop and doesn’t socialise. Now, the real issue is that our well-being councillor is most likely to put us in a tent with Max, because we used to be friends and now, he doesn’t have anyone else. An important detail is that our teacher is an ahole , and she will probably make a huge deal out of us sharing our concerns, and we don’t want our parents to get involved. Please help us come up with a way to not be in the tent with Max , either by talking to the councillor or any other ethical way. The problem with being in a tent with him is that he has a crush on us both, even though he has a boyfriend. Last year he was put in a tent with our friend Zilla, and he told her about how he had a crush on every member of our friend group, how he would fuck all of us if he could and many other disturbing details. This year, a couple of weeks ago, he told me the same thing, adding that the crushes sometimes go away but sometimes leave. Mind you, he has a bf, but he basically confessed to still liking us. Me and my friend are desperate for a solution, to not be in a tent with him. So would I be the asshole if I asked to not be in a tent with him?
