Okay, so this is long:
I hung out with a "group" I guess you can call it last year in 8th grade. There were 2 guys and 3 girls including myself. One whom I'm still good friends with is gay and I don't care about that. The other guy I don't talk much with so he's kind of out of this question. Now the remaing 2 girls. Oh my god. One is very clingy, has hygene problems, whiney, spoiled bratty scene. She believes herself to be a emo girl although she is spoiled with everything. So when she doesn't get her way, she pretends to cut, which are like pink lines made with paper. Then the other girl goes to comfort her and they somehow make me look like the guilty one in the group.
Now, this year, I'm taking all Pre IB classes and the people from my group last year are taking adv. and standard classes. Now, basically IB kids (Pre IB and IB) all become friends with another. It's like a whole new clique (Such as jocks, punks, IB kids =P) Well, Joey is in Pre IB and I talk with him and his friends a lot since they're all in Pre IB. But my best gay guy friend from last year hates Joey and he won't hang out with him. I sit with Joey and his friends at lunch and in the mornings and talk with them, hang out with them a lot at school.
Well, the two girls basically kept on pesturing me with "You ditched us for another clique. You're a horrible friend. You don't know where Kevin (my gay friend) is? (In an accusing tone) etcetc." It's been bothering me all year. Well, one thing is that I don't have any classes with them so yeah, I can't exactly hang out with them 24.7. IB is hard and I barely have time for myself a lot of the times. It's also much easier to hang out with Joey and his friends because we can relate a lot to each other. I also started to not ride the bus in the mornings and had my dad drop me off before he goes to work at school which meant that I didn't ride the bus with KEvin anymore. And so I sometimes catch him at his locker and sometimes don't so that is another reason as to why I don't know where he is sometimes. (Our bus gets to school when it starts and I always miss something in my first class) And when I get to school early, I can meet up with the IB friends.
Well, getting to my question: One of the two girls invited me to spend halloween at her house and Joey and his friends want me to come trik or treating with them =/ I really wanna go wtih Joey and his friends but the thing is: Kevin doesn't know about this situation I'm having with the 2 girls-even they don't know--and he'll most likely end up going to one of the 2 girls house. And then the 2 and maybe kevin will whine complain, pesture, everything at me all year long.
I know that I'm gonna go with Joey but what should I do about the 3 friends??

Pretty much, you have to explain to your friends from before that you still care about them and that you want to be friends with them, but that you also need time to make friends with people who are in your classes. Let them know that just because you can't spend as much time with them, it doesn't mean you like them any less.
You may end up (much as it hurts) just letting your old friends go. I know it sounds like an awful thing to do, but really your best friends are going to be the ones with whom you have the most in common.
