Do I need fake friends in life?

So basically as it says in the title. My friends disrespect me and don't really stay by my side in life. They show jealousy at me because they failed their A-levels while I got into LSE. They do call me to go out with them and take me as their friend but this is typical of (some) rich people who usually don't really put much faith into friendship. Friendship for them is going to expensive clubs after getting high in their fancy apartment. I feel like if I leave them I'll accomplish much more in life. I don't want to be materialistic person although my family is quite well off. Thats why I applied to do history.
They are ignorant boys who know nothing except for Rolex, AUDI R8, Tyga and Drake (and the only music that I CAN listen to is Rock n Roll and Classical). They didn't know that conservatives gained the majority in the last election and weren't aware of the occurrence of World War One!! It's really weird for me how they don't have any response to current affairs. They talk the same s**t over and over again. I can now foretell what they are going to say before they finish sentence. I feel like a fish out of water when I hang out with them. Its fine whatever they enjoy but they don't share the same interest with me and I sometimes feel like I have nothing to talk about with them.
So what do I do?
a) Leave them and be a loner (almost) or
b) hang out with them just for now with the hope that things will get better when I go to LSE(I hope the social life is not as bad as everyone says, it's a political atmosphere at least)?

Also, I read your OP, well they are who they are. Many people don't give a **** about politics, and if they like Rolexs so be it. it's not so much they're bad people, but you and they are different people.

Woah it's mr johnny big *******s right here

What are you getting out of friendship with them, truly? If you say 'company' then that is void - this is not good, positive company, which should be the only company you get. Unless you think that being without friends for a little while (and that's assuming cutting these guys out will leave you totally friendless) will harm you mentally, I say cut them out. They sound like idiots whilst you sound like a potentially nice man, after the slight narcissism is looked past.
Do you have any hobbies or other societies you could become a part of before university to keep you busy?

Difficult to say. I had fake friends for the latter years of secondary school. Then I quit the group and suddenly I was on my own, had nobody to go to assembly with, no one to ask about the homeworks, no one to chat to. It sucked. Overall, I think I preferred the fake friends situation because, even though it wasn't very enjoyable, it was better than being completely ostracised from the rest of your year.

thank you for your contribution . Did you find real friends after secondary school? I am beginning to feel it'll always be like this.

Hang with them but try and make new friends aswell.

No you don't! Its better to be a loner than to hang out with fake 'friends' if you can even call them that..
