my best friend lives across the street and we have carpooled to school every day since kindergarten. now we're in middle school and we're allowed to get to school an hour early if we want, to hang out in the cafeteria and talk to friends. I love doing that, but my friend isn't very sociable and she refuses to go early. Our moms are fine with driving us separately, but my friend is all mad at me now for "breaking the tradition" and not riding to school together. but going early is like the only chance we get in school to hang out with friends. what should i do?

She has no reason to be mad then. It's not your fault that she isn't sociable. If she doesn't ever want to go in early, she can get a ride from her mom. Explain to her why you want to go in school early, and give her that "its the only chance in school you get to hangout w/ friends" line, and if she still doesn't want to, then too bad. Tell her you're sorry but it's something you want to do. If she doesn't change her mind, oh well. She might change it as school starts and she meets new people, you never know.

but do what you want, not what your friend wants you to do :]
