Recently I have lost a friendship due to trust issues. Basically the person said I lied, which I honestly do not believe I did. Other people added to the fight even though they were completely wrong and fueled the fire. So I was hanging out with a few friends.. Well my one friend didnt like these friends and when I tried to hang out with both it kinda blew up. The friend who is upset (rather hates me)also says I betrayed her before which I did not, and people can back me up on that. I have explanations and reasons for everything I did and was even the bigger person who apologized. She did not accept, called me fake & a joke and now hates me. How can I prove/show to her that I am trustworthy and want to remain friends? Sorry this was long but it takes time to explain. WWhat should I do?

It might take days, weeks, or even a few months. If she really wants to be your friend and considers herself a true friend, she'll stop acting ridiculous and realize that the friendship was basically ruined by a nasty situation and a few good (not literally) rumors.
I highly suggest not continue to try and 'fix' the situation because you will, indeed, make it worse. If she says 'hi', you say 'hi' back. When she's ready to talk, go ahead and talk to her. Don't try to initiate the whole conversation about the situation.
I've been through this situation many, many times in middle school. It was pure hell, but it blew over quite quickly.
