Glorified Acquaintance 

An individual you used to be friends with, but have since then fallen out with, resulting in a stranger that you know really well.
Since my best friend, Jane, stabbed me in the back, we've become glorified acquaintances.

Acquaintance  

A person known vaguely, like someone you worked on a science project with once, and never really spoke to again. Maybe you have some mutual friends, but you wouldn't really go out and hang out with that person on your own. Someone who you say hi to in the halls at school, or maybe say hello when you see each other in public. In the simplest definition, someone you know well enough to say hi to, but aren't exactly friends with.
Betty-OMG, did you go to Franny's party on Saturday?? It was the BOMB!
Edwina-I wasn't invited.
Betty-Why not? I thought you and Franny were friends.
Edwina-Sort of. I mean, we worked on that English project together a while back, but she's more of an acquaintance than a friend.
Betty-**shrugs** I'm gonna go get a cheesesteak. Wanna come?
Edwina-No thanks, I'm good.
