Answer:
He said to her if he was really that easy to forget.
-> the sentence involved in this direct speech is a question. "he said to her" does not need to be changed. sentence structure of the question needs to be changed, not like your usual indirect speech sentences.
then, add a if after "he said to her". remember, this is a question.
the word in the sentence, "was" is not a modal verb, therefore it will not be changed. however, of course the word place needs to be switched with the pronoun "he", as we're converting it to a sentence and not a question. so, "if he was really that easy to forget".
School starts in a week so Aubrey and her grandmother go "back to school" shopping. Aubrey is not excited for school because she will not know anybody other than Bridget.

After the day is over Aubrey actually likes her new school.
Hope that helps
