Never been in that situations and stuff, probably don't know enouh to answer. But let me see.
Depends who your friends are. If there the type of mean friends that will do that, wither get new friends, or suck it up and talk to her. If there the "jokey" type, it shouldn't be any problem. Just gather up your guts, and when you're ready, approach her. If you have sincere friends, then you are one of the luckiest people in the world.
