I have a lot of life experience and a background in education and some counselling. The following are quotes from friends and family regarding advice I have given them in the past:
"You are so direct and to the point but not harsh."
"You have a lot of wisdom."
"You always know how to cut right to the heart of the matter."
I believe that I tell it like it is but I am also senstive to other's feelings and I am able to see things from various perspectives. Hopefully, I can help you too.

I am like nearly bestfriends with this girl at my school. We hang out at school, and on occasion at her house or mine. But when she is with a huge group of friends I feel left out. Like she is busy talking to her other friends and does not pay attention to me, and her friends that she hangs out with always look at me all weird like I don't belong with the group. And ever since school started she barely talks to me because she is busy with her other friends. Although I do walk up to her and say hi but since she is always with other friends she doesn't talk much to me.

How can I get more attention from her, and get our old friendship back?

Although I would like to be closer friends with her, and hang out more without her losing her other friends. I totally respect her other friends. Also, sometimes I prefer just hanging out with her alone, so how can I get that to happen? She is never available because she is busy hanging out with other friends and I would like to hang out with her as well.

I apoligize for asking so many questions, but please answer as many as you can, and just give polite suggestions and tips, please.

Thank you for your time into reading this. (link)
It sounds like she is not that good of a friend after all. As for the group that she is hanging around with - why do you respect people that give you nasty looks and will not even give you the time of day? As hard as it might be, it sounds like you would be better off by finding other friendships to focus on. There are many other people who will have the character to act more loyally than your current "friend".
