She Thought I Liked Him so She Started Ruining My Life

[Real but pretty long story so buckle up]

So basically in science class, I was staring across the classroom at this girl because she was talking to some boy and honestly I was ONLY curious as to why they were sitting together since at that time I had never seen a romantic relationship inside of school. I had ZERO interest, only curiosity since this, to me was a rare occurrence.

Here's the part that started it all: One of this guy's friends caught me staring and whispered and pointed at me and the couple which I didn't even know where together, stared at me.

Well later in class that same day, he "rizzed" her up using that method where you tell someone to look to the side and pull their chin back). I didn't even see it tbh but just know that was prolly one of the most corniest things you could've done to prove that y'all were together 😭💔

In the next few days, only in science though because that's where the couple were together, she pushed past me and ir wasn't just brushing past it was slamming into my shoulder without an apology so this is the first thing that got me suspicious.

The next few days followed by and I started getting really suspicious because, well overall she seemed like the most fakest person I knew. This is probably because I have experience of seeing through people since I pick up on the little things which is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Anyway, the part that got me honestly nervous but confident that I had confirmed something, was when I saw her hanging out with the nice girls and was literally whispering at them and ALL of them kept looking back at me. That definitely made every single thing I doubted click and my suspicions for her increased. People started treating me differently like I was a germ which I just ignored. She was befriending/(recruiting) people like there was no tomorrow.

If you know "A" (code for my toxic friend), yeah I told her about it and she seemed supportive but confused. Well she told my bff that I was crazy.. and then we hung out during the school's half day and bumped into that girl from science again and she said in a disgusted tone, "Oh.. why haven't you changed yet?" Mf I don't give a rat's ass about what I wear like it's only a uniform. She shouldn't even be caring it's not that deep, plus the thing that made it worse were the fact that her pants had big white hearts on the front which was frying me and I can't lie I think I looked down at them a little too judgmentally.

Ok so A hung out with her for some reason and confirmed that she does not like me because when the waters were tested, yeah the girl said that I teased her?? I'm literally so reserved oh my gosh.

Plus this one time me and my friend were doing work and she came over and her breath was smelling so bubonic that my tongue started itching for an hour after school (we had science last period). I think she saw that I was disgusted because she asked my friend for gum 💔 I kid you not I have not come across a person with a breath this bad.. oh also my tongue started swelling up and it turned red from me having to itch it with my damn teeth. This is probably the equivalent to herpes.. but oral. That was one of the worst experiences I've had done school.

In cooking class, even her man's avoided me which was kind awkward. I understood why tho because she be talking bad abt me 24/7. I can just tell that that girl is one of the most insecure, brattiest person alive.

This one time she saw I had nails, the next year (2026) she started flexing them lowkey even though the gel was on her fingers. She also started wearing makeup the year prior to this which was 2025. Honestly I pray that her makeup skills improve.

This year I'm cutting off the thought of my toxic friend and that weird ass jealous girl from science like no bro I do not wanna steal yo man's. So far I've been trying to get healthy and train muscles, and other stuff. Been trying to practice calisthenics too and I recommend honestly but I can barely do much.

Honestly I think the lesson here is to just choose peace, and actions show more than just pesky words, because after a while, people realised that she was the villain, not me. (Good ending I guess!!)

AITAH for Leaving My "Friend"?

[Hold on because this story has a LOT of documentation]

So for context, early last year, I was in a trio which consisted of me, my bff, and the girl (let's call her A), who I will be talking about. Also we came from the same primary school (went to Australian high school that year).

So my bff is a really sociable and hilarious person who is actually attentive to others, so whenever I make a friend and introduce them to her, their attention shifts away from me quite quickly to be honest (I'm a quiet person so that's why). So early 2025, everything seemed fine honestly and the three of us clicked.

A would come to my bus stop almost every other day and we would chat on the bus. Now honestly my memory about the year was pretty foggy because I only remember the late part of last year so I'll just get to the main points.

So on A's birthday, I had covid and was unable to be there on the big day so at home, and we agreed to exchange the gifts on my birthday which wasn't too far away. The reason I wanted to exchange gifts in my birthday is because my bff had explained to me that the year before, A forgot her birthday and the entire gift was one sticker which was really bad in contrast to the gifts A would normally give to her other friends. Also she would spill other people's secrets (you'll see why this is important).

Ok so during the time period of which I am sick, I video call her and give updates on my handmade card which I was pretty impressed by and I gave her a lot of cute stickers a cute pen and a considerable amount of other stuff which I sorta forgot about and guess what.. she asked what my favourite chip flavour was 🥰 what a great gift.. and I know not everyone is as fortunate but c'mon she could've at least first thought of making a homemade gift or something. She ended up gifting me cuter stuff though. So following the days after I finally come back to school, we get to exchange gifts and A's present for me was: A plain ass card made with ONLY a pencil that prolly took her 1 min max (but apparently she worked hard on it??) and also a used pen and a homemade one row crochet bracelet... Call me petty but as soon as I saw THAT, I had to keep my card but I gave her the rest of my gift.

During lunch the same day however, my pen that I gifted to her apparently leaked on her maths sheet which was still funny to me ngl but I didn't even get to see it since we weren't in the same class. However, this resulted in her then pressuring me to SWAP our pens so we each received our own birthday gift back. After school on video call, she accused me on the topic of how I didn't give her the card and rudely accused me of doing that because I didn't like her gift (which was honestly true) but I felt pressured to add more to her gifts and also she requested the card I'm pretty sure. So A decided to talk behind my back about this to my bff and successfully manipulated her into thinking I was the villain, so when I ranted about the whole situation to my bff, she just said something along the lines of "She's right though." like hello what?? She did eventually realise A was in the wrong though.

Anyway another time I was sick for two weeks resulting in me forgetting a lot of important material we learnt from maths so essentially I failed the test and was severely behind. At that time as well, I was seeking validation from my bff and A so I told them about how I failed and guess what?.. A was talking behind my back to my bff complaining about how I did so bad and when my bff said it was because I was sick, A simply said "Well it's her fault anyway." Mind you A wasn't much better than me.

Another instance was when she purposefully left me out in a conversation and they were talking about kdramas which I don't have the attention span to watch most times, so I was just standing there watching them have a conversation. Also to make things worse, my bff tried including me but A quickly shut it down as she interrupted us and kept trying to exclude me. She also physically blocked the open areas and would turn away from me and side eye me during the discussion numerous times.

Also I paid for her stuff this one this one time and the price for it was under $4 aud and she took around two to three months to repay me while complaining that her mum didn't give her money. The thing is, I remember hanging out with her and her dad gave her a generous amount of cash and he does has a well-paying job as well.

Another time we went to find some refreshing drinks and she said the drinks were on her today, so naturally, I assumed I wouldn't have to pay her back so when she asked for the money back I got confused and told her what I heard her say and explained that we must've miscommunicated.. well she gaslighted me and my bff, saying that she never even stated that although I vividly remembered her saying that and both me and my bff were quite literally next to her.

Another time when I was video calling her, she asked why I looked different on camera compared to real life and accused me of using makeup and even secretly asked my bff if I did wear makeup (which I didn't.) I guess I know her insecurity now. Also when me and A waited for my bff and A finally saw her, she would jump to her and pretend that I didn't exist.

Ok I'm too lazy to explain the rest of 2025 but just know that me and my bff started excluding her so she went to her other friend who is currently still her main friend. So early 2026 when my bff said she was about to come back from her holiday because she stayed for longer than expected, A went to my bus stop and asked questions about when she was coming and I was honestly annoyed.

When my bff finally came back and we were walking to homeroom together, A physically pushed us apart so that she could be in the middle which to me and anyone normal, is highly disrespectful.

We don't hang out with A anymore and I've grown closer with my other friend who doesn't exclude me at all. My other friend, me and my bff have become a trio. I always avoid A but my bff is still on good terms because she doesn't have much of an option when it comes to picking a partner in classes, which I am not in.

Ok here comes the big news though, today A apparently asked my bff in maths if she could take the bus with her and my bff told her that my friend and I were catching the same bus but A was fine with that until my bff finally explained to her that I did not want to be friends with her.

A supposedly started moving weirdly (not physically obviously) after hearing this and said that she left me on read which is a complete lie because I blocked her and she was the last one to message me at all.

This is highly irritating as you can imagine but I finally feel more free and I want to see her reaction for the next few weeks as today is Friday and I'm writing this at home after school. Another thing I want to address is that my bff had been a messenger to this information as she still maintains a distanced relationship with A. I am slightly frustrated that my bff is still acting close to A and the fact that she was blind to the obvious stuff but at least she knows now.

Also I think I know who the asshole is but I want to see everyone's opinions and thoughts on this.
