You know in the movie "Mean Girls" the character Regina George? One of my very best friends Katherine has a lot in common with her. First off, everyone wants her to like them. If she walks to the left, so will everyone else. If she's sad, everyone wants to be the one to solve her problem so that she will like them best. Even I find myself falling into this trap. She's mostly like this when she is with her other friend, Emma. Emma and Katherine can both be very nice people, but not when they are together. I love hanging out with Katherine, but when Emma walks in the door, I disapear. Its not fair! How do I make her stop doing this to me?
I saw the title of your question and I knew I had to answer you. Because it's the awesomest title ever, hands down.
What I think you should do is talk to Katherine about how you're feeling. Try not to be accusatory, so she doesn't get defensive; approach her calmly and casually, then pull her off to the side. (Actually, it would be better to talk to her NOT at school, to avoid drama. It's best if you have her over at your house). You may want to repeat this with Emma as well.
If Katherine is a good friend, she'll be receptive to your concern and be open to talking about it. But if her response is more on the side of bitchy, maybe it's time to find a new friend.
This is a tough problem (I've been in your place more than a few times, trust me), and I hope you can work it out. Good luck!
