We became a trio for a while but they spent way more time talking and hanging out with each other than with me. This didn't bother me until recently when it seemed they became really oddly close. They were speaking to each others grandmas and hanging out with each others moms. meanwhile i wasn't invited to any of this. They also stopped talking to me about anything but get really pissed off when i talk to people they don't like. What's more, whenever i try to explain why i feel hurt or left out, they either think I'm joking or they get pissed at me. Should I keep being friends with them? Its now second term senior year and i don't have time to make new best friends. So should i tough it out, even though I feel alienated, or should i finish my senior year bestfriendless?

I don't think you should alienate them, but i don't think its fair that they don't like when you talk to others they don't like - but its ok for them to leave you out and ignore your feelings! Don't limit yourself to just having those two to be your best friends. Talk to everybody in your year if you can, I mean don't force yourself to be friends with everybody - just generally make small conversations with people. You never know you could make some more friends and then you wont have to rely on your two friends. Plus by talking to others in your year, it will make you more willing to get to know more people when you get into the working world.
