This girl and I were really good friends in elementary and high school so I hope I didn't scare her away.

It took me a long time to realize that I was self-sabotaging. I would throw out some intense emotional statement (it was always true, but intense none the less) to see how they would react. I didn't realize that I was doing this to scare them off or keep them at arms length.
If this girl has pretty much known you all your lives, then more likely than not, she will see YOU, not just a piece of you (i.e. your issues). But if you aren't attracted to her anyway, then I say there is no harm in being honest and continuing a friendship... even if you decide to see where things can go later on. There's no rush. Take your time.
