As stated in the story, they were put in different groups and only hung out in weekends. They even went to different schools at one point, I believe, so they naturally drifted apart.

Josh might have been in the car because at the time, he'd been missing for a little while. If you read in "Friends," penpal had him dressed like the narrator as well as his hair dyed. So there's a very good chance he'd brought Josh when he ran down veronica, because in his sick mind, it was another version of the narrator.
