Feeling betrayed, any advice?

I just needed a place to vent so here goes. Last night I overheard my supposedly best friend (technically not my best friends but someone I would say I am really close to) tell my other roommate that she feels that I am keeping her from meeting new people. We joined this organization together and I joined because she asked me to. There was a social event that I wanted to attend so I went without her knowing and left early because I had a huge exam to study for. Later that night, she was in the living room while I was in my room (yes, we are also roommates), and she was talking to my other roommate telling her had she went to the same event I went to without me knowing and how much fun she had without me. She was telling her she was glad she didn't invite me because she feels that I am holding her back from socializing with other people.

First of all, I joined this organization because of her asking me and now it feels like she thinks I am a burden. Second, EVERY TIME I hang out with her, she ignores me and either is so obsessed with her phone to even talk to me, or she is at a social event and leaves me in the corner by myself while she socializes with other people. Before I met her, I was having a blast with my friends, and because of her, I lost some of those friends because sometimes it feels like she forces me to hang out with her. I can't go out in public with her because when I try to make friends with her around, she hogs the attention which makes it hard to even talk to people because either she wants my attention or she is interested in the people that I want to talk to. I am feeling betrayed by her and I can't avoid her because I see her every day.

Ugh, been there done that. This friendship is toxic and I would fast forward to the end of it as quickly as possible, and start looking to find a new roommate.
