Meeting somebody from years ago !

I was at the gym recently and thought the woman on the machine opposite me looked familiar. She seemed to be having the same thought. A few minutes later and we'd discovered that yes, we used to go to school together. She used to be my Irish teacher!

I got stalked my an old school friend once. Her name was Leanne. We did our leaving in '99 and I had no contact with her since then. Then one day – I’d just started a new job working for a transport company so it would have been sometime around late 2005 or early 2006 – I bumped into Leanne while I was out shopping. I hadn’t seen Leanne for 5 or 6 years at this point. Leanne asked me to have a coffee with her to “catch up” but I couldn’t so we exchanged numbers and arranged to meet up some other time.

A few weeks later, Leanne called me and I agreed to meet up with her and we spend the whole time talking about what we’d been getting up to after school and stuff that happened in school. It went okay so when she phoned me 3 or 4 months later I arranged to meet up again. The second time we meet up we had some more “remember when?” conversations and I caught Leanne up on what some mutual friends were doing that she’d lost touch with and vice versa.

On around the third time we met up, we’d exhausted the whole “remember when?” topic and found we’d nothing really in common anymore. There were just a lot of awkward silences and conversations. That's around the time I finally noticed that she'd changed a lot. Leanne was still a really nice, kind, sweet girl but she seemed really needy and a bit unstable. Plus she was into all this weird stuff and wouldn't shut up talking about it no matter how many times I tried to change the conversation. I couldn't wait to get away from her so I faked a "migraine" and told her I had to go. Leanne wanted to meet up again. I didn’t really want to so I told her I was really busy.

Leanne started constantly calling me and texting me. At first I took a few of her calls. Leanne would ask me to meet up with her again but I’d say I couldn’t because I’d already had plans, I was busy with work, just whatever excuse that popped into my head. Then I ignored her calls. I was hoping that after a while she'd get the message and back off. But she kept phoning me and phoning me. And when I stopped answering her calls, she started phoning me from different phone numbers. Eventually I had to change my phone number.

Then Leanne started phoning my parent’s house phone!! I never gave her that number. I think she must have still had it from when we were teenagers or got it from the phonebook or something. Leanne told my parents she was my "best friend" and pretended she'd lost my number and tried to get it off them. I'd told my mam all about her so they didn't give her my new number or any of my contact details. Leanne’s kept calling them and was really annoying my parents and driving them mad.

Leanne kept telling people we were "best friends". I found this out when I went into my local supermarket and there was this girl that was in school with us, Emma worked there, and she told me that Leanne had told her that she and I were "best friends" and "like sisters" and she thought it was weird because she thought we hadn't stayed in touch since school. I told her we hadn't, we'd just met up a few times and we hadn't really hit it off. I couldn't believe the crap she was telling people! We just meet up 3 times and had a few short phone calls over the course of a 9 months. That's it! I hardly knew the girl. It was really freaking me out!

Eventually she did stop and finally go away and I forgot all about this stalker incident and thought it was over. But that wasn't the case! I found out a year ago that Leanne died of cancer in 2011. What's worse is that apparently Leanne told her parents this "we were best mates, like sisters" story and kept pretending we were still friends all this time so now Leanne's mother is going around telling people about Leanne's best friend (namely me) who "abandoned" her when she found out she had cancer. Apparently she told all the people who we went to school with that went to Leanne's funeral this story. I only found out about all this when I went to our class' 15th year reunion last year. Fortunately some of the people (the ones that really matter) she's told this story to know its not true but a few people (ones I haven't had any contact with since school) really believed it. I don't know what to do about this situation!!!!!!! I don't like that people are spreading these untrue rumours about me but I don't know how to stop it. I did nothing to deserve this. I really regret agreeing to meet up with her. I wish I could go back in time and just ignore the girl when I bumped into her in Liffey Valley that day!

The motto of my story: IF YOU SEE ANY OLD PEOPLE FROM SCHOOL RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. DON'T ATTEMPT TO TALK TO THEM AT ALL.

I'm sorry if I went on and on about that but what that girl did still really makes my blood boil. I'm not saying she deserved to die of cancer. No one deserves that. I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy. And I'm sorry she died. But her parents must have known she was mentally ill. She wasn't all there. I figured that out early on. Why is her mam spreading all those lies about me?

Like dis if u cryd.

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt when I run into them after years of no contact, but more often then not it turns out that they're still complete w@nkers.
