Hi. I think you should care about your work more than making friends. Your
studies are your future but friends are likely to betray you.

I don't agree with "a friend" that friends are likely
to betray you. It sounds like both you and "a friend" are having difficulties.
A new school is always difficult and high school is the most difficult
time of all. Is it possible for you to phone and meet with your old friends
outside of school? I'm assuming you haven't moved far away.
Also, it's good that you've met some new friends.
They probably feel lonely too in a new school, talk to them and make
them feel comfortable and your loneliness will go too. Once
you have done a few of the test and exams, you'll feel better about them,
you'll know what's coming.
Right now, you need to take care of yourself and
be your own best friend. Don't beat yourself up if you're not popular.
Here's a secret, even the popular people don't think
they're popular. To them, a lot of their friends seem like only aquaintances
or not real friends. Really.
And talk to your Mom or a good friend about your
feelings, that helps too.
