Can you help me with choosing a high school?

hi , my predicament is that im a grade nine and theres an option for me to choose between two different high schools , the first one is about 15 - 20 minutes away from me all my friends are going there and a trade that im interested in is offered there.The second option is an all girls school that is about 45 minutes - a hour away and they offer smaller cl sizes, better extra curricular activities and I think I may feel more comfortable/ be able to get more involved there. .So far I like the idea of the all girls school but im concerned that I may have trouble making friends or not like it there and be stuck with the super long buss drive. At the other school im concerned that I will stick to my old ways and fade into the background. Im just wondering what your opinion is.
