The situation
You're being invited into a more popular group at school. They're fun, they do interesting things, and the inclusion feels good. But they've made it pretty clear — without saying it directly — that being part of their group means less time with your old friends. Your old friends have noticed. One of them said, 'I guess you think you're too good for us now.' That hurt to hear — but you also don't want to give up the new opportunity.
