Then later, she spilled something in the fridge, and she was making such a big deal about it that I came over to see. I was just looking at the fridge shelf, and she started saying "What? What?" I said "Nothing" but she said, "I've known you for 13 years, I know you're thinking something." I told her to stop mind reading.
Really nothing was on your mind? Being detached, letting her go and giving her space deosn't mean you can't answer her question. She wasn't mind reading you were thinking - "she was making such a big deal about it that I came over to see."
Why couldn't you just say so?
It's unattractive, it makes you look cold, and scared of her.
Once you saw it was no big deal say so. "You were so alarmed, I came over because I thought you might have found a mouse/severed head/ghost in there!" Use your sense of humor and let her see you were their by her side.

Then she started arguing about who was going to buy the chips for the event. I said that I would, she said she could, and I asked her why she was trying to pick a fight with me.
the real question is why did you even care, agree with her. it was just flippin chips! don't take the bait. you are not letting her go you are following her around and begging her to notice you.

She snapped "I'll probably be asleep when you get home," so I gently told her that I hoped she slept well.
