Just a couple general comments
I got an offset of 374, which is only -6, so not a big deal.
Between the two difficulties, it's somewhat difficult to tell which is the easier difficulty and which is the harder one. Based on the HP drain, I'm guessing Buddies is Hard mode. The Difficulty sliders are rather similar between the two, and it blurs the line a bit.

Given that Friends should be the easier difficulty, my advice is to let go of the lyrics a bit. You really should be avoiding quarter-snapping at all costs (except perhaps in rare cases of short repeat sliders such as 00:14:85 (1) - this seems okay and very appropriate to me). The problem with lyric snapping in songs like this is that you need to basically know the song by heart to play it, and that distances the vast majority of players from following along. It should have a natural, fluid feel to it.
00:14:06 (7) - While I don't want to trample on creativity, I find the silent slider tails very off-putting. I can understand not wanting to trample over the rhythm of the song, but might I recommend briefly switching to the soft sampleset instead of pure silence? A nice little jingle sounds good, in my opinion.
00:32:95 (1) - Having these land off-beat sounds odd to me. You don't need to have a break in there, so you can extend spinners like this an extra half-beat.
Seems like you've got a decent feel for beatmapping otherwise, though if I were to be picky I'd mention the occasional trips I encountered on Buddies such as 00:34:85 (3) - (the activity prior to this makes me think something is happening on the half-beat when it isn't; quarter-beat mapping is tricky to do intuitively)
Buuuut I'll give you a coveted awpstar, since I think this map is reasonably well on its way. Also, I like the simple storyboard touches. I was hoping to see this song on osu! eventually.
