“I’d love to go with you as friends! Nobody’s ever asked me to a party before, as a friend!”

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker responds with delighted surprise to a party invitation offered in friendship. Repeating 'as a friend' makes the nature of the invitation especially important. The words suggest that this simple form of welcome matters because it has not been offered in that way before.
