These two mean girls, who emotionally hurt my best friend, and constantly stabbed me in the back. But now, whenever they see me they yell my name and start flagging me over. I don't like them at all, but they are always clinging to me. Every time I'm out of their sight, they ask everyone where I am. It's so annoying! I want to confront them about it, but I don't know what to say or how to react. Help?
As dragonflymagic said, confront them, but gently. Theyre lovely, but just... tell them how you feel in the nicest possible manner. If theyre really nice and respectful, they'll leave you alone. Careful though! Choose words wisely- this could backfire easily. [ soph0900's advice column | Ask soph0900 A Question ]

But you have to be careful in anything else you say because mean people or those who are ignorant or naive or just plain dumb are going to be really offended if they think you're trying to say something is wrong with them and their behavior and treatment of you and your best friend. They just won't get it...soooo you will have to pretend and say words to just "pet them" or pet their feelings so they don't retaliate for something you've said.
That all said, I would tell them that they're really nice people and all, but I really don't feel anything in common with them to be close friends.
