Well, heres the deal... ever since 5th grade my best friend and I (been best friends since we were 8) always did the science fair together. We made a promise that we would always do it together. Well, now I'm in 8th grade and last year she found a a new best freind and so did I. But still last year we did it together with her new best friend. (Her best friend is really nice. And she's also my best friend now.) Anyway, this year something changed between us, and we just don't talk anymore its strange.
So, my other best friend asked me to do the science fair with her,and I said yes. Except, my other friend told me that Briana (best friend since 8) wants to do it with me again and her friend. I don't want to do it with them, because I sort of felt left out. But I can't tell her that I felt left out, it will just make things more awkward between us.
How can I tell her that I don't want to do the science fair with her? Plz I really need help!

I think I can help, here goes,
well one thing that is so important to remember while you are trying to tell your Friend this is honesty it is very ,very important don't make anything up for example your teacher made you be your new best friends partner or any other fake excuses like that. So just tell your Friend that you are very sorry you broke the tradition but you want to include your new best friend so you just decided to do the science fair with her. Your friend will probably understand since she has been including her new best friend also. and not that I am saying stop being friends with this girl but remember things change as you get older and to expect to be Friends FOREVER is not always the best thing to do.

Yeah...
These things can be always difficult can't they??
Considering you've both done the science fair together all this time and you've both found new friends -- perhaps it would be nice to all work together on it, that way no one is left out..?
If that is not possible, perhaps it would be a nice way for you both to get to know your new friends better by pairing up with them...?
If she is truly your very good friend, she should understand... I mean, at the end of the day, it's BOTH OF YOU who have found new buddies, not just you... So, in a way, that is always nicer for both parties!! - It's not as if you've found a new friend and neglected her...
You did say things are different this year, that she's not talking you? - Maybe that is a sign that you both need to 'branch out' a bit and befriend others too..?
As mentioned, she will understand if she is a true friend.
Might also be worth your while talking to her - find out why she's been not as talkative this year..? After alll, that's the best way to find out, especially if it is a true friendship....
See how you go!!

You've made a commitment to your friend but your friend has now change the original plans (including Briana since you said yes), so you are not obligated to help her since the original prospect has been changed by her.
However, maybe you should reconsider and just go ahead with the science project. Friends can weave in and out of our lives as we sometimes grow closer to other friends, but that doesn't mean that person can't still be a friend. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face, we need all the friends we can gather.

Don't take it personally and we are still best friends but I can't make it to the science fair with you.

this problem sounds so cute....anyways if you and that girl briana were friends before then you should know how to talk to her...best friends know how to talk to each other...look deep into your heart and you will find your answer....if you don't then you should try talking to her 1 on 1

Sounds like you need to talk to her...you dont have to be mean about it, just explain to her how you feel and how they made you feel...if she is as awesome a friend as you say she is, she will understand....hopefully you guys can resolve it so you dont ruin your friendship....just be glad you're not fighting over some stupid guy!! Good luck!
