Here's the deal: The boys are going through their respective hormonal-jerk-who-sucks-all-the-time phases. They, as a group, will be distracted by all shiny new females who smell nice. And the dudes love the whole blonde twins thing, because they're not looking at the new girls as people, they're looking at them as sex fantasies. Which sucks for you and your tried-and-true girls, as well as for these new girls as well. From their end, they probably feel like outsiders with the girl group since it's really hard to be the newbies in such a tight-knit school, and since they're twins (I'm a twin myself, so I know) it's waaaay easier to just stick with your sib. Since you know 100% that relationship is already pretty sturdy. The attention from boys seems desirable to them because it's positive recognition, and if they're actresses I can guarantee you that they have pretty high levels of insecurity. But the boys don't care about their opinions or personalities - they're just trying to be the dude who boned the twins. Or one of the twins. What you need to do is humanize these girls, for yourself and the guys. Ask them to hang out next time they walk past you at lunch, maybe not with something like: "Have lunch with us, so that the males of our tribe see that you get PMS and have eaten M&Ms off the floor like the rest of us!" But something of interest, relating to which teachers suck, or ask them if they like Twilight, or even ask them some questions about working as actresses. And yeah, you might see them as players, but try to remember that flirting with guys and hooking up might be the only way that they feel validated or important or beautiful. That's not to say they've never done anything wrong, but if you remind everyone (yourself, your friends, the twins, the guys) that we're all just people trying to get along, you'll be stronger for it. Take the high road, and even if it doesn't work, you'll be proud of yourself for trying.
