Choosing sides
What doe "choosing sides" in the following excerpt mean?
For the first time since I started school, I was looking forward to a party. And I knew that part of the reason I was looking for ward to it was because Julian had not made it public. Whenever someone makes out a guest list, the people not on it become officially uninvited, and that makes them the enemies of the invited, Guest lists are just a way of choosing sides.
