Sporkster here, and I've got a question for you lovely people here on Advicenators:
I've got this "friend" of mine who's been rather...hard to get along with lately. You know who you are, "friend." Anyway, in Study Hall one day she just errupted like Mt. Vesuvius. I mean, over something so petty she just blew it. My boyfriend had moved to another table to take a quiz and she came over to sit with me. There's this stupid rule my SH teacher came up with stating that only two people can sit at one table until ten minutes prior to the bell rings. My boyfriend finished and came back over, and right before I was going to tell him to wait a minute so I could finish talking to her she just..."*slams book together, packs up bookbag, moves* Fine, I see who's more important, I'll just move! *mutters incoherently*" I just was...shocked. She didn't even give me a chance to tell him that I needed to finish talking to her. Anyway, she's been really sore over this for the past week or two. I mean, she doesn't sit with my boyfriend, me, and our friend anymore. She never talks directly to me, however, she has this obsession with talking ABOUT me. She's lied about my boyfriend and me, giving people the impression that I'm some sort of slut. This is really starting to annoy me. Not the fact that she's talking about me, but that she's lying about me. I really do wish she wouldn't be so sensitive and...paranoid. Our friendship has been an ongoing battle ever since my boyfriend and I have been going out. I don't really want our best-friend friendship back, I just want to come to terms with her and "agree to disagree", if you will. But she won't even compromise with that! I've tried everything you could possibly think of and then some, but she doesn't want to listen to a word I say to her. Can anyone offer some sort of ideas for getting her to just listen to me for five minutes to sort things out? Any input would be appreciated, though I am looking for good, well thought-out, helpful answers. Thank you in advance for every good answer.
It probably would have helped, "sporkster" if you didn't tell that friend when she called to apologize, to not be friends anymore..excuse me , best friends. She is sooo not jelous of Tucker, she's mad because she does feel left out and has a right to.
Anyway...she said she was sorry (like every other time we...you fight) but that wasn't enough for you so you're not friends anymore, just like you wanted. About "lying" about you. She has enough crap going around about her at school than to start mess with you...even though she knows you've said stuff about her. (she's heard things)

You said you agreed to not want to be "best friends" anymore when you called me last time. I know you're not jealous of Tucker, but I do believe you're starving for attention and think you have no other way to get it than to go around spreading rumors about me. I know you say you're sorry every. single. time. But that's not what I wanted. I wanted us to apologize ONCE, and never again. But YOU (not ME) are the one to start things. YOU are the one that threw a temper-tantrum over next-to-nothing and started this last "fight", not me. You've apologized, and I appreciate that, but I don't want to be "best friends" anymore if this is the way you're going to act. Also, I know that you are spreading rumors about me from multiple reliable sources, including your new acquaintances. I have not lied about you. I have, however, told people when they've asked me "What's up with Katherine? Why is she going around talking about you all the time?" that I have no clue why you're "mad" at me. Please, if you agreed not to want to even be around me anymore, do try to forget about me and stop the drama with all the rumors and what-not.
