Hey,

So recently my best friend and I have gotten into a fight, and I've blocked her on all social medias, and I haven't talked to her for more than three months.
Unfortunately I am going back to the same school as she (in fact we met in the same school three years ago, and this school year I left this school and her behind, going somewhere else).
I am therefore going to see her. And although I regret not being friends with her anymore, I am not willing to be friends again. I can be nice, and friendly, but I am not willing to unblock her, and let everything be like it was before. And also my parents are not letting me, since I've had serious issues with her.
So act like nothing happened, and still be her friend? Although I really appreciate my life without her. She's been really manipulative. Or just ignore and find another group of friends? Or just be nice in a distant way, without actually hanging around her?
Another problem is that she is still friends with my other best friend, and they always hang out around each other, and I can't hang with the other friend because of that...

What can I do?

What was this "fight" about?

I am all about mending broken relationships, but as you said you are unwilling to unblock her or to let things be like they were before, I would just try to find some new friends. But don't be rude to or try to purposefully ignore her if she talks to you, just explain your feelings if she brings it up.

If your not willing to give in at all, as you seem to both share the same circle of friends, you may find yourself in a very awkward situation.
If you are not able to get past what's happened, you may find yourself alone and looking for new friends

Finding new friends will be no problem, trust me. :)

Going to the same school as her and seeing her around will only be a problem if you make it one. You don't have to avoid her, but you don't have to be friendly with her either. But if she talks to you, there's no point in ignoring her or being rude, because that only serves to create unnecessary drama.

As long as you handle the situation with maturity and grace, there shouldn't be any problem. Just don't cause a lot of bullshit, and if she does then don't get caught up in it. Shit happens, when you make a friend they might not be your friend forever.

If making new friends won't be a problem, and you acknowledge being in the same group of friends then what are you perplexed about here?

You see, "friends" really don't just walk down the hall at school ha no?

You need to do what works for you. If you are feeling better now and in a better disposition now, you can do without her.

I employ a similar thing to you- I block people who I don't like on Facebook...and most likely never unblock them (I have no sense of forgiveness). It explains why that block list is about 40 names long but moreso, it should say something about you. Don't go back to something you didn't like. Look forward- and find new friends, I say.

Thanks :) I completely share your opinion on this, and that what I'm going to do :)
