Old Friends, dodgy?

Recently 2 old school friends have contacted me through friends-reunited, to cut a long story short friend no.1 was a best friend but we parted on very bad terms after a huge argument and havnt spoken since school 8 years ago...friend no.2 was never really a proper friend and was part of a group that used to take the mick out of me a bit and purposely leave me out all the time.

Anyway, out of the blue friend no.1 contacted me.. never mentioned the big argument 8 years ago and asked to contact her if I wanted to chat... also, 'out of the blue' within a week of this...friend no.2 contacted me too asking if Id spoken to friend no.1 recently...co-incidence I think not!

She must've known friend no.1 had been in contact so why pretend that she didnt?

Anyway, I know they have both been talking and have recently met up, I was invited by friend no.2 but didnt go... I have now been invited to a night out with them, again by friend no.2 and am unsure as to whether to go or not...I cant help thinking that there is something fishy going on... Im paranoid that they're talking about me and only want me to meet up with them through noseyness or just generally for a laugh!

Friend no.1 has not been in contact since they arranged the first meet-up.

So my questions are....

Is something sinister going on?
would you go?
Would you mention the big argument to friend no.1..seems funny it's not been mentioned so far...?
Would you arrange to meet up with one or both first before a full on night out?

What could be going on that is sinister?

Do you not have a friend no 3 that you could invite to "even up the numbers"?

Why would they be having a laugh at your expense - are there lives so empty that they have to dredge up old friends in order to have something to laugh about?

Go if you want to...

I'd go as well, if only to be nosey myself as to what they are like now.

If you don't like it or feel uncomfortable then you can always go home. You will have lost nothing.

hi Lou, don't think they would bother to if they didn't want to they are adults after all...probably didn't mention the argument because she didn't want to dredge up the past..she may apologise when you meet... doesn't sound that sinister me...give it a go if you want toWink

do you remember them as nice people that you'd like to renew contact with? It doesn't really sound like it from what you say, so why bother?

sounds like they are still back at school

"they weren't my friends, and I don't want to be reunited with them"
