High school is so much different than Jr. High. I'm not saying things will change overnight from 8th grade to freshman year, but as people get older they'll definitely become more mature, despite the common belief that "your class will never mature, and this person will never mature"...while there are select people who don't mature very much at all, overall your grade and your friends will see that cliques, gossip, etc. is dumb.
Also, don't worry about who you're gonna hang out with too much, because in high school, as opposed to Jr. High, you'll be in leveled classes, and will probably only hang out with the people in your classes (honors kids, if youre in honors...etc.). But you can still hang out with your other friends sometimes. Ive found that you have to worry less about your social life anyway, just because of the workload/extracurriculars. Just don't worry, be friendly to everyone and be a person everyone likes.
In other words, don't give anyone a reason to dislike you. You'll be all set!

The chances are that they probably will, because you made friends with the one person, and she's going to be alot alike the other people.
(Also, don't quit hanging out with your "unpopular friends". Just because you might feel, i don't know.. kind of like (can't think of the word) almost, embarassed to hang out with them because they are not as cool, they probably know you better than anyone, and got your back.
also, usually the cliques tend to dissasppear)
Another thing that I have to say, is that you'll probably be changing alot in high school. For example, I am friends with completly different people. I'm not saying that you are going to quit hanging out with the people that you know, its just that you'll meet a whole bunch of different people, and have a great time.

As for the friends you had in 8th grade, there's really no reason to stop talking to them. Unless they start acting like total bitches around you just because you have new friends, you can still be friendly towards each other. Different interests among a group of friends isn't a bad thing.
