When the invitation arrived in the mail, Abbie became frustrated. She had already promised to spend the day with her new friend Emma,
celebrating Emma's upcoming birthday. Now, she had an invitation
from Lana, her best friend since 4th grade, for a party that was
scheduled for the same day. Abbie desperately wanted to go to both,
but she knew she had to choose. Since she had accepted Emma's
invitation first, she knew she needed to decline Lana's invitation. Lana
would understand, and besides, time spent making a new friend is
never wasted.
