I want to be friends with my ex-best friend...?

I used to have a friend, Nikki, who I was great friends with. We did just about everything with each other. I was over at her house & vise versa about every day. But one day, she told one of my secrets to a boy who told a lot of people and we just stopped being friends completely. In the following years, she teased me and talked behind my back. Now, it is 5 years later, and she has changed quite a bit, so have I. Sometimes she will say 'sorry' if she bumps into me, something she would never do before. She's thanked me for a few good deeds, and she even requested me to be her friend on Myspace, which I accepted. Last night I had a dream that we became friends again, and I wish that would become reality. She seems a lot nicer now, and I want to tell her I want to put the past behind us and start over. The problem is I have no idea how. Should I message her on Myspace? I don't know her screenname or e-mail, and I have no time to speak to her in school. And if I contact her, what do I say?

Update:

I know it seems easy, but there is a small problem. She's pretty popular (but that's not the reason I want to be friends with her) and I wouldn't want to look foolish and embarrass myself in front of her.

    Tell her exactly what u just told us. Tell her u want to put the past behind u and start over. That you miss her as a friend and want that friendship back. If she invited u to be her buddy on myspace.....then begin talking to her. Recall some past adventures that only the two of you shared. Some fun times and gradually make conversation about your past friendship, then tell her u miss it. See her reply. I bet she does too.

    U guys have matured now, and it sounds like u shared a really close friendship.

    True friends are hard to find and if she was one, even though she betrayed u earlier, try to re establish your friendship with her.

    Good luck to u hun.

    Well....you can send her a message on myspace.

    Something nice, easy, and simple. Example:

    Hey. Why don't we just put that past behind us, and hang out on Saturday night?

    something easy, and then just work your way up.
