Annoying friend putting down my future school+rival?

Alright, so there is this girl who applied to prep schools this year, me and her being the only ones from our school to.
She got into Loomis (with connections in the school through her former dean of dartmouth mom) but didn't get enough FA until her mom became the new dean of students at loomis. so now she is moving there and going there next year.
i got into exeter fair and square with enough FA (4/5) so ill be heading there next year.


Now that that is known!
Not to sound conceited AT ALL but in my school I am friends with alot of different people from different cliques and I dont do anything to generally make people mad at me, while this girl thinks she is gods gift and better than everyone, making her unlikeable.
I sit with her at lunch because she thinks I am her friends along with our other friends and she suddenly brings how everyone at Dartmouth (because her mom is still the dean there until they move) HATES the exeter and andover kids because they think they are so cool. She also made comments on how their sports teams suck, and how the people there are ugly.
I felt like crying and I asked a guy friend who was sitting there and he noticed it too.

Also, whenever MY friends ask ME about exeter I never get to respond because she has to jump in and talk about how great loomis is. Im not saying it isnt a good school, but she is acting like she is hot ***** because she is going there next year.

sorry for this post its basically just a rant about annoying people but i had to get it out somehow, just how she put down Exeter, it really, really, really made me mad!!!

anybody else ever encounter these people?

G'woz, life crawls with worms like these. Don't shed tears over them; just keep your distance from them. They will be crushed some day, some way. Thank God.

...and there's nothing like an acceptance to a top school to make them climb out from under their rocks.

hahaha, she's obviously just jealous and doing it to spite you. go print out a list of exeter matric and loomis matric and put them into her locker.... hahaa jokes, jokes. be the bigger man (or in your case, woman). i'm sure that eventually, she'll mature (hopefully, anyways)

oh and
CONGRATS ON EXETER <- the lost congratulation that you should have gotten from her, but didn't

Funny...Last time I checked both Exeter and Andover were still the top two boarding schools in the nation.

Well, people tend to defend what they stand for. It is well known that Loomis is a second tier boarding school and the girl most likely knows that. I'm not saying Loomis is a bad school. I'm just saying that this girl is probably jealous of your accomplishment and is trying to make herself feel good and you feel bad. Don't let people like her get you down. They tend to brag about their small or undeserved accomplishments. It makes them feel big.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Just let it slide!

Wow, not only is she a *****, but she broke the golden rule of faculty brat-dom:

If your parent is dean/headmaster, no matter how great the school, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT CANNOT GO WELL.

Seriously, every facbrat (name now makes sense, right?) knows this. Every faculty member knows this. Hell, once I was born, my dad asked for someone else to take over as dean at my school so he could be a teacher again.

Eh, Loomis is eh. Exeter is pretty cool, though. Look at it this way: you never have to see her again.

News flash, she`s not a friend. Dump her or she`ll surround you with her negative energy.
Good luck at Exeter.

That's not very nice of her.
I agree with maddog she's not really a friend, and you should seriously just ignore her and sit somewhere else. If she still keeps clinging onto you, explain to her that you don't like how she brags about Loomis and puts down Andover and Exeter. She'll learn to respect your opinions and not put you in a bag full of the stereotypes that she's created, and your friendship will probably get better.

Congratulations on getting into Exeter, by the way. I hope you have a wonderful time there!
