ok, heres whats happening. my best friend ((lets call her a))and me have been really close for 3 years now. ((4th grade - now, 7th)) we did basically everything together, but now, she is kind of drifting away from me, and onto another one of my good friends, ((lets call her b)) they have been doing.. like EVERYTHING together now, spending EVERY weekend together, and everything! i am on the same soccer team as b, and so i enjoy times with her too, ((3 is a really bad number 4 friends kuz someone always gets hurt, but i love both of those friends to death)) but now b is inviting a to all of our games and tournaments and everything!! even the out-of-town ones!! and so now, i just found out that a and b are going to florida together!! when i am just with a, or just with b, we get along PERFECTLY!! but when it is all 3 of us, they always "team together"!! i hate it soo much and it seems like a (my "best-friend" i guess) is like.. annoyed with me, or just likes b better!! i can't stand this, and i am so confused, because they are fine with just me, but then if it is al 3 of us, then they just basically totally ignore me! (especially a) AND a is in cheerleading and so she invites b to all of her competitions, and one time she promised me i would go to one, but then she just said she "forgot". i don't want you to say, "You should talk to her about it," because she is really emotional and would just use her age-old line, "why can't i have other friends?" plzz help kuz i really want this friendship to last!! thanx sooo much i am 13/f
