Am I right to be angry about my boyfriend "liking" another girl?

A female age 26-29, *hHeyLo writes:

Long story short, my boyfriend's friends hate me. They were one big happy group before I came along. They hate me mostly because I'm not like THEIR girlfriends (I'm not a cheerleader, I'm a freshman, and I'm not white or asian), so they think he can do better than me. Vecause of this, I never see him when he makes plans with "the bros", which is a lot. We took a break to get our heads straight and prepare for summer (in other words, he broke up with me.) Soon afterward, one of the girls in his clique, we'll call her Anna, started texting him to hang out, talk, whatever. Anna likes him, but he says he didn't think anything of it at the time. Then, when he was hanging out with the guys, they accused him of liking his other close girl-friend (we'll call her Staci). To avoid being suspected of liking Staci, he told the guys he liked Anna. Of course, its highschool, so the guys told Anna and she was even more all over him than before, which they all encouraged. He said he didn't tell them he liked me still for some reason (they hate me, duh). Anyway, now we're back together. Rumors are going all around that he's only back with me for the sex and that Anna still really likes him and he still likes her. This makes me look desperate, but he doesn't care about how I feel. He just said he's sorry and he doesn't really want her, he wants me. But now his friends have something on him and they're going to be really persistent about him and Anna. Since I don't get to see him often, I'm scared something will happen between the two of them. Are my fears irrational? Was I right to be angry? What are your opinions on this?
