I've been friends with this girl for 8 years now. But recently this summer I've hit a rough pacth and she is one reason I've been struggling. For the past 4 months she hasn't been paying much attion to me. We are in 8th grade so I know she has outher friends that she likes too. But I've been just pushed out of the circle without her noticing it and she's not doing it on purpose.she's that one I normally turn too. But I wish I could right now. I'm going through a stressful time in school with my high school Lvl classes and softball too. But it docent help that we don't have any classes with her anymore. Plus her newer friends have changed her but the fact is I just want the old friend I use to know before she started to wear winged out eyeliner.I want to just walk up too her and talk to her but there's something holding me back. I don't know what to do. I just want this between me and her. I'm a passive girl and I know I should speak up but I can't I'm lost and I've been struggling inside.

Its really simple on what you need to do. There's lack of communication, and communication is the key. You just need to talk to your friend alone just the two of you.
