Learn には and へは in one shot.友達には会いたいけど、

学校には行きたくない= I want to meet my friend, but I don't want to go to school.

には marks the target with contrast, へは emphasizes the direction with contrast.Small difference, big nuance

Small difference but this is what separates native-level speaking from just speaking.
