To ask or not to ask?

7 years ago, i met this girl in the neighbourhood. We were all young then, and i tried talking to her sister. Approached her sister wrongly, which kind of scared her (thats what i think). So well, i got a dressing down from her.

I met her on the bus 2 days ago, after not seeing her for 4 years. I sort of recognised her so i approached her and we spoke. She asked if i was the one who approached her sister when we were kids, i denied (cause i'm kind of ashamed.). I came across her Facebook after getting her name and now i'm wondering if i should message her and ask if she would like to help out at an event since she's interested in this field.

However, i'm worried that she may either: 1) Accept, and start spreading about what i did as a kid, and spoil my reputation.

Or

2) just spread my info online.

Why i want to ask her is because she told me she has interest in this field and i think it will aid her in her career. (furthermore, i need a couple of helpers..)

So what do you think? Should i ask her?

Thanks!

Update:

A dressing down is like a scolding/talking to.

I know its 7 years ago, but i still fear that, there are a lot of things from my childhood that i'm fearful of. Living life now, but when you bring the childhood up, i feel that mine's of regrets.

Doubt she knows its me, cause she didn't even recognise me.

    This would be a big laugh--for crying out loud--you were kids--7 years ago.

    Just let this be water under the bridge and ask--

    If for some reason the talk comes up--then keep it light--this is the past--mind you--move on since life has moved on with your ages now.

    What is a dressing down? And if she knew it was you from back years ago, why did you deny? She might have known all along. I don't know. And yeah you could ask her. What did you do as a kid? And if she spreads it around, just don't mess with her no more.
