I agree wholeheartedly that you should distance yourself from them, seek companions elsewhere and concentrate on the classwork. Leaving this drama behind is the utmost goal.

You asked what will happen on Monday during your next class together.

I suspect that not only will she ignore you, but that she will make a big attention grabbing production of ignoring you. Expect lots of noisy paper shuffling and chair shifting and strained head turns.

Enjoy it as a comedic performance out of the corner of your eye, and keep to yourself. Don't get drawn in or react (her goal), but focus on your work instead.

If she does confront you, repeating her indignations and so on, for goodness sake, don't try and argue with her or try to reason with her as you've done here. She'll be sticking to her outraged script and baiting you. Just look bored, exude closure and try to let her Jerry Springer routine pass harmlessly through you.

Of course, she could skip the classes altogether. Win for you and yet more evidence of immaturity from her.
