Is this a fight worth fighting?

My school lets us add classes up until about seven days in the school year. So I asked my guidance counselor if I could drop one of my classes and switch my Econ class to a different time period (which my teacher was totally cool with), but she said no, because the deadline had ended. I was like, okay. I wish we had longer time to add classes but I get it. If you let me switch after the deadline is over, that would kind of like bad, and other kids might want to try the same thing.

That was about four weeks ago.
And this week, I found out one of my classmates switched from my French class to AP French. This made me so mad when I found out. If I wasn’t allowed to add a class, then why is she? Especially when it’s so late in the school year? Every student should be held to the same standard.

I emailed my guidance counselor about it but she hasn’t responded. Should I bring it up with my principal? I really don’t think it’s fair that my school cares so much about such a petty issue like attendance when they give us so little time to add classes. And apparently some kids are able to do whatever they want.
Sorry this is so long… it’s kind of hard to explain.
Any advice would be appreciated
