Don't ignore it. Confront it. You will feel a thousand times better.

I'd call her out on it. Before/After the next chapter meeting, pull her to the side and tell her you feel like you've been getting the cold shoulder from her, that you are sorry if you hurt her feelings in any way and want to clear the air. Talk it out like adults. If she can't be adult about it and blows you off, then she's not your friend and you shouldn't be sad she's not inviting you to outings she is planning. Don't waste time on people who are petty and who don't want to be your friend.

I have been in these situations before with friends. Honestly, this tactic helps. Women don't expect other women to be confrontational. They expect other women to take this passive aggressive form of bullying. Don't sit there and take it. I have never once regretted being the bigger person and bringing up the problem to the source. It has either resolved what was just a simple misunderstanding or it got that person to leave me the heck alone. All without yelling, cursing, or backstabbing. You don't have to be a super aggressive or talkative person to take this tactic. Every person, shy or not shy, can benefit from stepping up to the plate in this way.

Talk to her and get on with your life. Don't kill her with kindness. Just ask her what's up. It will be a little scary at first. You'll feel the adrenaline rush, and some nervousness, but you'll also feel incredibly empowered once it is through.
