I've been in similar situations... except we were both bad influences for each other.... but I was the only one who actually wanted to get bettter... and my mom didn't like my friend at all... (I don't know what her mom thought of me.... I don't want to know)
What I did (and I'm a bitch for it) was leave my closest friends behind and started over. Maybe Trish wants to do this because she feels awkward or she's afraid you'll pressure her to doing something that will get her in trouble.
Or maybe her mom really doesn't like you. Period. If this is the case there's very litle you can do. Only Trish can try to convince her mom you're a good person. You can try doing better (getting good grades... being polite.... that kind of crap) and see if Trish's mom notices.
I'm so sorry about your situation. I really do wish the best for you and Trish. ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
