I don't know why it matters to me so much, but I can't get everyone in this clique at school to like me, or even acknowledge my prescence. I have been able to make friends with a couple of people in this clique, but I guess a couple is not enough to be accepted into 'their world'. Mostly our friendship only extends to talk at school in class and in the hallway, hanging out during break, passing notes during class, and then a few phonecalls during the week. But I would love more then anything to be invited to hang out with them on the weekends and to be included more in their after school activities. How do I try to become their friend without really trying too hard?
Thank you so much, and I will rate every question highly that gives me good suggestions.

Just try to involve yourself or make it so that you are involved (ex: having people to your hosue). Inside school just keep up what you have been doing and things will work out. This clique will begin to accept you more once they feel comfortable with you, so just get to know them all. [ freun989's advice column | Ask freun989 A Question ]

But if you truly want to be friends with these girls, then maybe you should try <b>building onto</b> the friendship that you already have with the few girls out of the group. I like to call it the "Waterfall Theory": You become friends with them - they go back and talk about your positives to the other people in the group - new friendships start developing - the process repeats over. It could happen like this, but then again, it couldn't. Maybe you should try facilitating weekend activities with the girls that you are friends with. Invite them over on the weekend on sometime during the week. If you want a friendship, then initiate effort instead of waiting for someone to initiate things first.
