Yesterday, I met one of my friends. Then, I met another one. This (another friend) looked happy and told me good news.
Is it correct to use "This another friend"? If no, how to refer to the other friend?

You can't say "this another friend", because friend is a countable noun, so it needs exactly one determiner, and both this and another are determiners.– stangdonCommented Aug 13, 2018 at 18:57

You could say:
Yesterday, I met one of my friends. Then, I met another one. This other friend looked happy and told me good news.
Or you could have said:
Yesterday, I met one of my friends. Then, I met another friend who looked happy and told me good news.
You could phrase it like this;
Yesterday, I met one of my friends. Then, I met another one. This friend looked happy and told me good news.
The sentences could be more fluent by rephrasing like this:
Yesterday, I met one of my friends. Then, I met another one, who looked happy and told me some good news.
