So, years later, we have a class together (finally, since it had been years since we did). I thought we would hang out, but she all but ignores me. She is the funniest friend I have (or had) and knows how to make you laugh and be happy. When I came back, there is this one girl that she spends almost all of her time with. She has other friends that she talks to in that class a lot (like, three others), none of which include me. If I talk to her, like, ask her a question, she answers me back, but doesn't really ever talk to me unless I say something to her. I never did anything mean to her, and I'm not sure exactly what to do. I just can't let her go. What do you think I should do? I can't bring it up in conversation because I am to chicken. Should I try talking to her more, say something funny, or just let her go? Any ideas?

 I understand about being a chicken, so I am going to say, don't be like me and spend the next 40 years going bwark bwark in the corner.
Summon the strength from somewhere to ask her, face to face would be better than a text or email (just in case), just ask if you are still friends and if yes, ask if you have done something to offend her.
Or if that really is too hard, just simply give her the same treatment back, pretend she isnt there, and just get on with it.
Good luck either way, you will find as you move through life that sometimes friends drop by the wayside, and we need to accept this and move forward.
