Why does my friend act like she doesn't remember me and is ignoring me?

I would only get to see my friend (let’s say her name is Alex) during lunch time. I wouldn’t really say she was my close friend but we usually talked to each other. I was just her friend who she would just talk to if she had no one else to talk to. I was sick of that so I decided to go with my other group of friends and eat lunch in band. I’ve been doing that the last 2 months and she hasn’t even asked me why and acts like she doesn’t know me. I saw a post on Facebook that said she was sick and missed a certain amount of people. She didn’t include me. Alex would just hang out with the “popular people”. I’m friends with “popular people” but all they talk about is gossip and boys or girls. That’s why I never really hung out with Alex. I feel like I should tell her my problem or tell her best friend (who I’m also friends with) but I know it’s going to get overboard. I’m only in middle school and feel like I should just ignore it and hang out with my close friends. This keeps bothering me, what should I do? Thanks!

If you say you werent THAT close when yous did talk then it doesnt seem too surprising that the friendship hasnt carried on. We also have to look at the fact you yourself decided to distance from her for your own reasons so I dont feel like you should have such an issue on it. She quite possibly acts like she doesnt know you because of two options. Option A - She was hurt that you decided to ditch her. Option B - She quite simply has moved on. I see that you can feel disgruntled by this but people do change. It is natural and something everyone on this planet has to get used to. If I were you then I would just move on. Less drama for you.
