Had several more friends, and was devastated when we moved only 10 blocks away, but to a 7 yr old child (during the summer deliberately between school years) - it was like miles & miles away! Never saw them again. Devastated!
Later, my dad found Bethy's family when I was a young teen, and we corresponded for a while.

Made new friends especially one who was thought to be quite cool by many, but I was her friend bc we were both quite smart, and liked each other's company as well.
And speakng of the time of year she and I wanted to do tmThe Times Sq Ball drop on NYE when we were adults 😄, but we lost touch.

But I was sort of often ostracized by what I considered the coolest group some were artistic like me, almost all were fashion fans as was I.

Once in JHS, and definitely HS had a whole group of new friends, and left those troubles behind.
