ok so me (17f) and my bff “kayla” (also 17f) have been besties since like 6th grade. we’ve been thru everything together—first crushes, first periods, first vape hit behind the school dumpster (lol don’t judge). anyway it’s always been like us against the world type vibes.

but recently she’s been acting rlly weird. like idk if she’s in her delulu era or what but she’s started treating my life like it’s her story and i’m just a quirky lil side character or smth. like every convo ends up being about her, her bf, her drama w her mom, her grades, her outfits. i could be like “yo my dog died” and she’d be like “omg that reminds me of when i cried over that one sad dog tiktok last year.” tf???

and it gets worse. so i started dating this guy “liam” (18m) like 2 months ago. he’s sweet, kinda shy, super into photography and vintage band tees. i’m honestly obsessed. kayla hated him IMMEDIATELY. like she said “he gives me ick idk why.” i was like ok??? u don’t have to date him??

but she started doing shady stuff. like she’d flirt w him in front of me, make lil “jokes” like “u sure u don’t wanna trade places with me liam?” and once she deadass sat on his lap at a party and said “oops there weren’t enough seats” even tho THERE WERE SEATS. EMPTY SEATS.

so i finally snapped. we were on facetime and she was ranting (again) about how her life is a mess and how “no one cares abt her” and i was like “girl wtf do u mean no one cares, i’ve been here thru all your shit while u treat me like a supporting extra in ur disney channel drama.”

and she got MAD. like full on silent treatment, unfollowed me on everything, even blocked liam (??). and then she made this super passive-aggressive tiktok like “pov: ur bestie turns out to be a jealous hater” with that one audio that’s like “i’m the main character, u just live in my world.”

now all our mutuals are picking sides and saying i was rude af and should’ve just “let her feel her feelings” and that i’m insecure or wtv. but like… idk. i don’t think i was wrong for finally saying smth after being treated like an npc in my own damn life.

so… aitah??
