Friend

Give them some time to warm up to you again, I'd say. I'd be a bit weird to ask to be in a group with them, so let them warm up to you and naturally if you guys do get along they'll add you on their own accord at some point.

We do get along and I have been out with them a few times but not all of them at the same time yet tho. So it’s like if I am your friend should you not invite me? But then again since they have become so used to each other and I haven’t hang out with them altogether maybe I need to give it some more time and have less expectations

Yeah I’d give it some time and if they appreciate you it shouldn’t be a problem down the line. You said it well, best to keep your expectations low so you’re not disappointed if it doesn’t happen eventually. Things like this take time I suppose, so just ride it out and see what happens. I understand the frustration, but don’t limit yourself just to these people, hang out with other friends you already have and actively seek new friends, that’s the best you can do.

so they do invite me to a lot more stuff now. However some of these girls are always free. Always free to go out meet up which obviously mean that they are closer. I do go out with them majority of the time they ask, but I still feel a little awkward asking them to hang out with me- like a way where I make a plan. Since I feel like they see each other more they’re better friends so they are gonna make more plans with each other sort of thing. And it does hurt when sometimes they don’t invite me when they go out but I think that’s purely because those girls are always free so they may assume that I might say no again. There is another friend in the friendship group that does not always see them and I feel like she feels the same. However she has always been there with the group whereas I took a break for a year.
