As to the question - What would you do if your best friend lied to you?

I've experienced it. My best friend in high school was better off monetarily and began to attract more of the clickish groups of kids. When I approached her she started making excuses for leaving me. She had to go to the bathroom, she had to go find a book she forgot. It wouldn't have bothered me but it began to be EVERY time I approached her within just a minute or two. She still wanted to see me on the home front because we were close neighbors and I was better at the subjects than she was so we studied together. I realized she wanted other friends and I was a liability to her. Her "excuses" were stinging and hurtful. So I quit talking to her. I didn't go to her wedding. I barely talk to her now even though our parents are still neighbors and friends. I lost the friend. Honestly though, I don't regret it. The last time I talked to her she bragged about things she'd done. I happened to meet her Dad in the store and he too bragged. Their stories were slightly different. She had shaded the thruth to make it more glamorous. I don't want a lier for a friend. If you're sure she's lying to you for no good reason (like if she truely is planning B-day stuff) then she's changed into an unbeneficial friend.
