In this case, "friend's" is not a contraction. It is the possessive form of "friend".

The phrase "My friend's decisions" literally means "The decisions of my friend".

Hi Saneta

If someone or something has nothing to do with somebody or something, they are not in any way connected or involved in it:
My friend's decisions have nothing to do with me (I'm not the one responsible for my friend's decisions but HE is).
I don't want to have anything to do with it (I don't want to get involved in it or be any part of it).

To have something in common means to share the same qualities or features as someone else:
What we both have in common is that we are both learning English!

All the best

I think I should correct the second example:
What we have in common is that we are both learning English. (using 'both' twice sounds redundant)

Dear Torsten,
Why cannot use 'anything' in this test?
With regard
