If she puts up a barrier then just tell her your always their if she needs to talk.
The second one sounds like shes craving attention. By doing that shes hoping you would stick up for her to this "old classmate" which would make her feel more loved. I would try and confront her about this and as before ask if she wants to talk about stuff.
Tell her shes a great mate but lying to get attention is in the end just going to get bad attention and make everyone unhappy
