Answer 2

The correct answer is 2. She is not old enough yet

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the narrator explains her friend Lynette changed her behavior and began to be with only thirteen-year-olds, leaving her alone. This is explained in "Lynette started bringing new thirteen-year-old friends" and "Lynette stopped inviting me over after school".

Besides this, the narrator explains "If you weren't thirteen, you dared not enter the thirteen-year-old side", these words suggest the narrator is younger than Lynette and her friends, and therefore this is the reason she is being suddenly excluded as she cannot belong to the groups and clubs were Lynette is. According to this, the narrator is excluded because she is not old enough yet.
