Cool Friends- Too Close Knit! Annoying, help!

Okay, this is going to be long, but please bear with me and try to reply. I'd really appreciate it. So basically, my friends are REALLY getting to me at the moment. My very close schoolfriends are called N, Kri & Kim. (I'm shortening their names on purpose). Now, Kim's been with her boyfriend J for almost a year, so even though summer's started and stuff, she's spending most of her time with him. Me and Kim are very similar in the sense that we're both very approachable and easy to get on with- so it's not a problem for us, socialising and staying with new people, which is what summer's supposed to be all about.

Kri and N on the other hand- they're reallly close both to each other and to me, and they basically stuck to me the whole of last summer, and find it really hard to make new friends and stay with lots of different people. Kri is worse than N, but they stay together, so it doesn't make much of a difference. Now, seeing as last summer was basically a shite summer, I decided to just be more independent this time- I already have lots of different friends, but I wanted to take advantage of that and stay with lots of new people.

Today, for example- I met up with N and Kri, and while they were too unsociable to just go up to this group of people I know and talk to them, I walked off and hung with them for a while- they proved to be a lot of fun and I ended up spending the whole day, and evening, with them. It was cool because I was sort of becoming part of a new group. When I met N at the end, she seemed really pissed off at me, and I just acted normal, because it's annoying that they expect me to stick to them all the time. The same thing happened with the same group of people last Friday night.

Anyway, when we got back to N's house (my mum was picking me up from there) N started telling me that tomorrow she's going swimming with Kri and a few other girls from school. I sort of nodded along and agreed with her, even though I wasn't too keen. As soon as I got home, one of the guys who was in this group of people today (who I happen to like) told me that it's official that our group goes swimming tomorrow and every other day. And that I should start going with them when they go to sandy beaches. Obviously I was beaming at the thought of being part of this group. But what am I supposed to do tomorrow? I would much rather hang with my 'new' group and spend the day with them, and I know that Kri and N shouldn't expect me to follow them around everywhere- but should I be worried about them? Its not like I confirmed any plans with them or whatever.
