So if she is selling you out then maybe she is not as good of a friend as you thought.
Look I have been in a similar situation and I am very jealous of my friends. And I don't handle these situations very well. All I can say from experience is don't flip out about it. Just be calm and let things just happen. You don't know for sure that Mariah is trying to turn the other girl against you. So don't jump to conclusions. And just let them be. Sometimes friends drift away. That is something you have to accept and be mature about. But often times they bounce back to you. Just be calm about it and let them come back to you. For now act like your happy for them and don't show them that you are overly jealous.

 hello
well frist i have to ask is that are you more of a introvert? try being more socialable too both of your friends.
On top of that talk to your old friend and ask, "well im a little worried etc etc". also at around your age i started to grow up and realize that friends come and go, people are just starting to realize that theres more to life.
So do what you can and what you think is right, but dont push to much.
best of luck
