Don't go get mean and offended if you don't like their reasoning but you do need to let them know how you feel. If you think making the friendship better isn't going to work by talking to them then you are setting yourself up for exactly what happened to me. They will start to think that you aren't interested in hanging out or they will just assume you are busy. Before you know it they will be hanging out with out you and you'll feel left out and things won't get better. Talk to them and you'll be hanging out with them before you know it.

2 is a couple, 3 is a crowd! Always remember that. Just tell them that they're leaving you out, if there real friends they could company you and say sorry and make up for it. if they dont then there not worth it.. i know its easy for me to say "ditch them" but just do what is best it happens to me alot when i hang round with just the 3 of us.. when you have 2, people your together, 3 there is always 1 left out, 4 there is no prob coz' that a even number
hope it helps

2.)You just tell them.Tell them it kinda hurts your feelings. Don't say it all mad like, just calmly tell them. I doubt they will be mad. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
dancerchic9105 answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 7:58 pm: You can go to A and B and tell them that you feel that they are leaving you out and you don't like it very much! If they don't like that then they aren't really your TRUE friends! It isn't really wrong for you being jealous. I hope everything works out between you, A, and B.

heya answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 7:21 pm: No its not wrong for being jealous. Ive been in this situation PLENTY of times. And telling them is the hard part because you dont want to come off as jealous..am i right? Well say this to A.."ya know we havent been hanging out lately..i miss you and "B"..you guys wanna hang out with me this weekend" By saying this it doesnt come off as your jealous...and hopefully theyll say yes and you 3 can hang out. I know three people is hard because you dont want to be left out..but make sure you let them kno you want to hang out with them. [ heya's advice column | Ask heya A Question ]
Karen answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 7:02 pm: No, it's not wrong for you to be jealous. It's something that every girl feels when they aren't included in a lot of things with their friends. Have you noticed what A and B are interested in? Maybe they are just interested in the same thing and you aren't so that's why they are hanging out all the time without you? The next time they talk about hanging out or going somewhere, speak up and ask if you can join them. They wouldn't get mad over that. And don't worry, it's alright to feel jealous that your first best friend, A, is becoming best friends with your second best friend, B. You just need to talk to them, that's all.

BeautifulMadness answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 6:58 pm: It's ok to be jealous - it's an emotion that we can't control, and it's only natural to be jealous if your best friends are excluding you!!
Perhaps you just have different interests? Say friend A and B like rock music, and you don't - well then they will go to rock concerts together without you. What you have to do is find something that you and A, or you and B, or all of you like - something like shopping, or a certain type of movies (if you and A like Romantic Comedies, then have a Romantic Comedy movie night together!).
And next time they arrange something without you, speak up - ask them if you can go too :)
Blessed Be,
