I had a very good friend in middle school named... Sue. Sue and I were very close and then had a falling out over god knows what and then became friends again in high school. When I say we were friends, we were BEST friends. We called each others parents mom and dad, we went on each others family vacations, we were crazy close. Anyway, in typical high school fashion, we had a massive falling out our senior year and became bitter enemies. To this day, not really sure what happened there... Eh, teenagers.

So, Sue dated a good friend of DH and I's for a couple years until she cheated on him and was ostracized from our (DH and I's) group of friends. She, from what I heard, continued to be a total hater and talk a bunch of trash about me and generally be a bunch of drama. This was a few years ago, I haven't actually spoken to her in 7 years. She was still persona non grata when I left to move to England almost 2 years ago. She tried to facebook friend me a couple times. in the intervening years but I always ignored her. I really just dont need that kind of trouble.

Anyway, I went home for 6 weeks to visit in December. While I was there, my best friend told me that she had started to hang around with everyone again and that she had seen her at a party and Sue had been very snotty to her. I made a point to avoid having to deal with her while I was there. I'm just really too old for that sort of BS.

So, this is the dilemma. About 2-3 weeks ago, I get another friend request from her. Now, normally I would have just ignored it except now she's hanging out with all my friends back home again and our time in England is more than half over. I am, at some point, going to come into contact with her again. I don't know her anymore. I don't know if she's still the type of person who would cause issues for me if I don't accept it. I don't want to look like the bitch who wont play nice but I also don't want to have to deal with people like her in my life.

Ughhh... I freaking hate this kind of crap. I need some advice. Do I suck it up and accept? I know this is trivial and stupid but I miss my friends back home and I don't want some stupid BS like this to cause a rift.
