3 What do you think Sarah should do?

Dear Betty and Robert,
I'm really unhappy because I've made a huge mistake with my best friend Sarah. There's a group
of very popular girls in my class. They're cool and funny and everyone wants to be friends
with them. They asked me to go out with them last Saturday. I was really excited, but it was
Sarah's birthday.
I dian't go to Sarah's party and now she's unhappy with me. Now she doesn't want to be my
friend. I've started to see that the popular girls are boring and unkind, and I don't like going out
with them. I want to be Sarah's best friend again. What should I do?
Yours,

Katya
