She may be having troubles at home or something else going on that she does not want to talk about. Even if everything is alright there probably is a cause. Is she on any medication that you know of? This happened to my friend, she would randomly start crying in school and no one knew why. Turns out her acne medication ..Accutane i think... was causing her server depression. I would try and figure out if there is something going on, or if it could be a possible side effect. Talk to her and don't push her to tell you anything but just let her know that you care about her and if she wants to talk you will listen. Lets her know that you just want to help and that she can trust you. Also.. i don't mean to freak you out, and I'm sure this is not the case... but look out for signs of suicidal behavior.... She is probably fine but you never really know whats going on in peoples minds. Many suicide victims seemed like perfectly normal, and happy people to the outside world. I hope I was able to help you and I hope the suicide thing did not offend you, I just have some personal experience with that and just would like you to be aware of that...
