Yes, it can definitely hurt to be left out when your friends become close or do things without you. But if you want them to keep liking you and being your friend, you have to keep your feelings to yourself. If you get mad or talk bad about them or act like you're trying to keep them apart, that's just going to backfire. Because no one likes to be around someone who's angry or jealous or pouting.
So even if you're feeling sad or left out sometimes, try not to let it show. When you see them, just act happy and cheerful and fun to be around. Then they'll WANT you around. [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

If Erika chooses to hang out with this girl, there is nthing you can do about that. If you are a good frined, don't ever defend that. Just be you, it is her loss if she chooses not to hang out with you.
Take the best part of you and move on to other friends. If Erika is your friend she will be there by your side.
Girls play one against the other, don't let yourself get wrapped up into that childish game. Be open and honest and never defend your actions if you feel you are in the right. And try not to put others down to make yourself look like the better person.
Believe me, rotten devious people ultimately end up with no friends.
Be strong and stand up for yourself.

right now, don't make any comments about erika to jaslen, it will make you look like you're jealous and nobody should have that power over you. just tell that jaslen girl to back off and ignore her. when she insults you laugh it off, because it will make her even more mad if she knows she isn't getting to you.
then, find one of your closer friends, and hang out with her ALOT. get close with her, usually all you have to do is tell a girl a couple secrets about you and bam, you're best friends. soon erika will be jealous just like you are with her and jaslen, and erika will start to call you asking to hang out all the time and ditching jaslen.
it's kind of sneaky, but it works. getting mad just causes a bunch of drama and you usually don't end up looking that great, this way you come out getting what you want and smelling like roses ;)
