We are both close best friends and we bicker, I mean I have two close friends and we don’t bicker like I do with my friend (lets call her S). There was this time when I wanted to go get sushi for myself, S made a gross look on her face.
“Hey there’s nothing wrong with it, its good”
“S: No it is disgusting”
(My other Friend commented) “I dont like sushi”
S: “See! She doesn’t like it”
(Rolled my eyes) “Okay, I am not forcing you to eating it. I am eating it!”
And
“S: This is a good book I think you will like it you should read it”
“When I have time”
“S: But it’s good”
“I know, but I am not a reader like you are. I'll read a novel when I want to, why do always bug me to read a book!”
S: “you just don’t care…”
“What! No I just don’t feel like reading”
Why does she do that? Just to get me all pumped up or something!?!?
we are both girls
during the bickering she has a smile on her face...as do i too. i see her giggle when i get hot headed because i am easy to get worked up.

I'd reccomend that while they're messing with you, you stay calm. If they're only trying to have fun, they'll know to stop. If they're TRYING to get you frustrated, they themselves will get frustrated. It sounds a little bit like both of you get worked up pretty quickly quickly--try to prevent the hostility by just dropping any subject that may anger you at all.
"I'm going to get me some sushi."
S makes gross look, you say nothing about it. If S says "It's disgusting" say nothing about it. Shrug or whatever, but don't argue how it's good.
S: "You should read this great book."
You simply say "Ok I will" and leave it at that. It's not a lie, because you said you would when you have time, but by just saying you will read it, you are giving her nothing to comment back about.
