AIO or do they not like me

So I’m currently about to graduate high school but for my first two years of school I was in a dance club with my best friend where we met a lot of new people! It’s a very small dance club with only about 7 people, so once the first year ended our seniors graduated so we had to run auditions to fill in the gap, which is where… I’ll call her friend A, comes in. Off the rip she was very nice, a lively spirit, and overall just a very fun person! She was new to the school and had actually just came to the country only a few years back, maybe 4.

Anywho, she made it into the dance team and as the season went on my best friend and I became quite close with friend A and to this day I still consider her a good friend. Fast forward to the end of my second year we all 3 ended up leaving the dance team because it was just very time consuming and unfulfilling, and since friend A is a year below us I didn’t really keep in touch with her since I don’t see her around much but we still chat online every once in a while or if we happen to cross paths out in public. My friend, however, is way closer to friend A than I thought. They hangout in person a lot and are constantly calling/chatting, which is fine and it didnt bother me when I found out and it actually inspired me to try and reach out to friend A more because it made me realize us having a year gap or not seeing each other that much doesn’t make it impossible for us to be close friends, or so I thought.

I talked to friend A about how I missed her and we should hang out sometime she agreed blah blah all that good stuff, and since obviously my best friend is the common denominator between her and I she was involved in our rekindling, and plus I had expressed to her how I wanted to start hanging out with friend A again.

So timeskip to about 2 weeks ago or so my best friend invites me to a sleep over with friend a. I say yes. We never talk about it again. The day before comes around we’re on call I ask “Hey what’s going on with the sleepover on Tuesday?” And she’s says she’ll tell me later in a dismissing voice. We never talked about it again.

Similar situation happens again, except this time in a group chat with my best friend and other friends who don’t really know or care for friend A sends a screenshot of my best friends instagram story where she was hanging out with Friend A.

Maybe this seems like nothing but my best friend removed me from her close friends story, which is where she posted the images. So I’ve been constantly (well only twice but) left hanging when it comes to hangouts with them and then I see theyre hanging out without me and HIDING it from me. I wouldn’t have even known she removed me off her close friends unless my friend sent that story and I went to go check myself. We’ve been friends for so many years, shared so many secrets, her not having me on her close friends when she always has is odd.

I know obviously im not entitled to hangout with anyone or I can’t force anyone to like me, which is fine thats life and I completely understand!! But I cant lie and say that im not hurt that I actually looked forward to hanging out with them just to hangout without me and be sneaky about it. If you don’t wanna hangout with me just be honest, it really would’ve hurt less and I could’ve understood a lot more. I think Friend A doesn’t really like me as much and doesn’t wanna hangout. I know thats not my best friends fault but I feel slightly salty and hurt towards her too because of the entire situation. I feel like I’m being dramatic

Am I overreacting and just in my feelings?
