Need yo guys help!

19(M) So, it's my first time posting. There is one girl from my home town(dadi's home) we used to be friends around 9yrs ago we played together and stuff, I secretly liked her but never told her. Then after that I shifted to new city but went there in holidays and used to see her, in childhood we were really good friends and even hid together in hide&seek and did some crazy stuff playing ghar ghar and other games. And mind you she's 2 yrs elder to me. Knows me very well her and her father knows me too and by God grace I have a good image in her family, as they know my family to. So the thing is next month I am going back so I am thinking should I give it a try? But but there are many complications to it. 1) I haven't talked to her in years. 2) my cousin brother and her was shipped together by our other friends, but they never had anything going on. 3) I asked my friend there is she dating someone or not, so I was told that's there's this one guy(he was also my friend at sometime 😭, same age as me) who she talks too they don't know whether they are dating or just friends, but they recently did some cringe(jealous me) insta song trend. And that guy is just some fair looking dumb guy wanna be influencer/model(just did 12th and now romes around w friends and is a dropper) w no future. And also I have heard guys from our neighborhood talk like she talks to too many guys and had so many affairs and stuff, but I feel like they talk crap and bring her down because they can't have her. After all this should I try talking to her or just let it go? (but i really like her, whenever i see her theres those memories). I have a feeling that I should give a try or I will regret it. And before you guys rant about his privacy this is his public acc and bro wants to be a model so ig this much works.
