To think that my friend has lied to me for money?

A month ago, my friend decided that it'd be a good idea for us two to go on an overseas trip in April for "old time's sake" (we were very close during our uni years). I agreed, and sent £500 to her bank account to cover for my share of the lodging (payment was all supposed to be done online).

Fast forward to today, trip is cancelled since she "doesn't feel like going anymore". Okay, no problem. Asked her to transfer me the money, and she can't because she's "only got cash at the moment" and she wondered if I could "wait till Friday".

AIBU to be suspicious about this? If she was planning to book everything as per our agreement, why would she even withdraw the money in the first place? I don't want to sound like the paranoid/untrusting friend so haven't said anything to her beyond an "Oh, okay thanks".

That must be it , yes, trapped by serial killer neighbour in the secret room which is really the neighbour's outhouse. Heaven help her.
Perhaps MNHQ can get thread police to go round?

Another thread fading away and we shall never know. I don't have a Michaelangelo to scream to, maybe i will reach up and scream at the lightbulb. It needs changing and I can't reach it. Quite frustrating really.
