Sounds like a very similar situation I had when I was working 'in the real world'...I was friends with this one girl that did a lot of stuff with the clique...anyway it ended terribly for me and I lost that friendship because of my paranoia. Don't let the same thing happen to you. Try not to read too much into it (easier said than don't I know)
I feel for you I really do, I know how difficult it is to work with ppl....which is why I chose not to in the end.
Much love and hugs
