Advice on a childhood enemy?

I'm a Sr. in highschool, but currently enrolled in a community college taking two classes there.

Way back in 4th grade, I started going to a new school (I had been homeschooled the year before, and went to a different school in a different state before that). A girl in my class was extremely mean to me. She bullied me, harassed me, made fun of me in front of others, etc. so much that I had to be pulled out of that school before Thanksgiving.

Now, she's a student in my College Alg. class. I know she knows who I am, but all of a sudden she's being very nice to me and wants to study with me. (I'm doing fairly well in the class, and I'm not so sure she is). Now, she missed class all last week (and wants to skip tomorrow, too) and asked me to take notes for her. I agreed and emailed her the homework assignment and the notes I took. I wanted it all to end there. But she has other plans...

She keeps asking me if we can get together to to look over notes and help each other with homework.

I've seen/heard her continue to be very rude towards others, in front of others.

I'm very hesitant for two reason: 1) She was beyond mean to me back then, and I don't know what she as the power to do to me now. 2) I don't want to keep working my butt off and have her basically steal my notes, etc.

Any advice on how to handle the situation? She keeps texting me!

    Maybe you should just keep coming up with excuses why you don't have the time to study with her until she finally gives up on you. I'm sorry, but it sounds like she may be just using you. I was thinking at first that maybe she has changed some, but when you added the part of her being rude towards others still, it sounds like maybe she hasn't changed that much and eventually will turn on you as well. You don't need to let her do this to you again, so turn her off (drop her) before she has the chance.

    Respond to her texts with laughs, like "lol" or "haha." She won't have a good response for it. And in class, make friends that are not her and have other plans. And when it comes down to it, you can always say "You don't treat me or other people very nicely, and I just don't need you in my life." It's the truth, right?
