Worried about dd…

Dd11 is due to start high school, she been saying for months she doesn’t want to go etc, I get change isn’t great although 90% of her primary school is going to this high school so she’s not gonna be alone. Her best friend since reception stopped bothering with her when they mixed classes in year 4, fine she had another best friend plus a circle of about 5 other girls, all very close, now her other best friend last November, pushed her aside for another girl, they were still very close but bf was closer with this new friend and they’ve been joined at the hip since, often making dd feel irrelevant. She’s always bent over backwards for her friends, always in the middle of arguments, there’s a girl group of about 15 from her year who are all friends but she’s very close with about 6 of them. She became close with another girl, who From what I can make out has a new bestie every month. Although she’s seen them all quite a bit over summer, I asked her if she wanted to go meet one of them at the park, she almost bit my head off, where as usually they jump straight on it. I had a look at her phone earlier to make sure there’s no funny business. Not spoken to so called best friend since Sunday, and although they’ve been messaging the messages sound a bit distant, they have a joint tik tok (it’s private, only for friends) friend face has been scribbled out. Her other closest friend from reception is going to a different school and the 3 others she’s fairly close with are on the other side of the year. It’s hard to keep track with this group so I’m not so worried about her having no friends, she’s always talking to some one, but the people she’s trusted the most, they’ve pulled away. Her birthday is in a week, having a sleepover, shes 100% on 3 of the people but she’s saying she doesn’t know wether to invite best friend (the one making her feel irrelevant) I’m friends with her mum so could be very awkward as they’ve been attending each others birthdays since reception. She’s being saying a lot this week she really doesn’t want to go to high school. I’m in no position to homeschool her and I’m confident she will make more friends, I’m just worried for her. She’s always been my social butterfly. Girls are hard. I was always stuck in the middle of drama so I know how it feels but she just wants to help everyone. Anyone any advice from a parent point of view…
