<human>: I know these two girls, Abby and Jess, from high school. We were in one class together and never hung out outside of school. Since then, we've hung out maybe once a year or even less at times. I don't really consider them to be my friends, and, honestly, I don't find them that interesting when we hang out. Both are very closed off and don't share any info about themselves, so it's hard to get any closer. I swear I really don't know much more about them than I did in high school and I didn't know much back then.

Every now and then, Abby gets it in her head that we all need to hang out again. Like, "It's been so long!" She makes us out to be this trio and always wants us to all hang out (this comes up once a year). I don't know why it always has to be the three of us every single time since Abby and I work in the same city and Jess lives over an hour away. She did this with one other friend too. She would suggest the three of us hang out (again) once a year and when I seldom saw her alone she would immediately ask "Have you heard from Friend3 lately???" (No, because I literally am not friends with her and never see her outside of your suggestions.)

So, Abby is trying to get us to hang out again this summer and, really, I just don't want to. I've done it in the past just to maintain some kind of relationship, since it took very little effort, but if I just don't like these girls, then why waste my time?

My dilemma: in June, I told them both I was busy until mid-July and that they shouldn't wait for me to be free (hint). Now, they emailed sporadically since then and I've just ghosted, which was going to be my main plan. This week, I'm getting a ton of emails again about hanging out in 2 weeks. Should I say I'm busy for the rest of the summer? And how do I cut off contact altogether without saying the real reason? They don't seem to take hints.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I don't like 2 girls from high school but I keep hanging out with them once a year because I can't shake them.
