I'm impressed by how you went out of your way not to let her down too badly about your own feelings regarding that OMGawesome!closeness which she seems to have felt and still feel. You may call that 'dancing around things', but it's also socially skilful, and shows far greater empathy with persons of questionable intelligence than I would be capable of. (Which may be why you still have some high school friends left, and I don't.)
I guess the question for me would be whether it bothered you to be so gentle with her, whether you felt you owed it to yourself to be more forceful. If so... hey, why weren't you? Is the association still important to you? If so, then you can just tell yourself that it's part of the price you pay, and leave it at that. We all make compromises.
She sounds scarily immature. Some of it may be the txt language giving me an unfair impression, but it's not just that. I wouldn't believe her, either... but hey, I probably wouldn't be talking to her, anyway.
