Know that this is true and tell yourself again that she has enough love and friendship to go around for everyone. That statement is also true even if you fear it isn't.
The other thing you need to remember is that both of you have other friends beside each other. Sometimes you need to hang out with them rather than eachother all the time. This does not mean you like eachother less it just means you're making time for the others too.
That's all she is really doing here. You need to remind yourself of that and the fact she always comes back to you and hasn't ditched you.
Naturally, she's going to be as tight as she is with you with this girl she's known that long but it does not affect your friendship with her at all.
It's also natural for people to discuss what they did over the weekend with one another. Just remember while it was their time to share this time that it will be yours next time as you'll get to go with her to places they won't.
This brings up my other point. Your friend might think this girl she knows and her other friends aren't in to the same things you are or that you won't get along with her/them.
The next time they start talking together about what they did you should casually mention "Gee that sounds like fun. I wish I could have gone with you." This lets your friend know you would like to hang out with her and everyone else.
