A person you are friends with, but is treated poorly, and is talked to when your friends are absent. The person who sees you as a backup friend does not care about you, and you get screwed over.
Since Julie ignored Corrine's text about a sleepover, Corrine got the sign that she was the backup friend, because Julie asks her to do things very seldom.

Get the gang-friendmug. A person who is friends with your friend and you don’t know them well enough to call them your own friend so they are your second-friend through association.

Get the Second-friendmug. When a man can't make up his mind and misses his window of opportunity with a woman, the woman mentally places him in her "friend bucket". Once relegated to this category, he may never be able to get back to being considered "boyfriend bucket" material.
Sam and Alma met on the train, and seemed to have chemistry together, but after 3 weeks of waiting for Sam to make his move, Alma decided to move on. Sam got dumped into the 'friend bucket' and he has no chance of regaining "boyfriend bucket" status.

Get the friend bucketmug. When you don't want to, can't, or it wouldn't be prudent to claim to have only one best friend. You have plane friends. They are best friends that you would jump on a plane for if they said they needed you.
Choose your plane friends carefully because they would also have to be willing to do the same for you. Generally, you don't have these until you are an adult and all your friends are scattered throughout the country.

Get the little friendmug. A person who is only around when it is easy and convenient for them. They are the people who, if not placed around us, (ex. dorm rooms), all the time, they wouldn't really be friends. They are usually used to do things for you, if you need a ride to and from school, etc. They are basically friends who need you around when they need a favor, or when they are just so bored out of their minds that they would rather hang out with you than sit around all day, but they'd never put you first.
Alice lives down the street.
You: Hey what are you doing today? Want to stop by?
Alice: Sure! I'd love to hang out.
Alice lives 10 miles away, and is sitting at home watching Judge Judy reruns all days.
You: Hey what are you doing today? Want to stop by?
