So I (F) have always been a high achiever. Sometimes top of the class or just 2nd from the top and me and my class do these end of term tests. I'm always getting one off or full marks so I was getting confident about this one but this time was different. I had gotten 2 off so I was already in a bad mood because I should've gotten an extra mark if i hadn't missed a word out. I turn around to my best-friend to ask what she got. She got lower than me so I was like "Oh okay then" Then I moved on to my other friend let's call her Mango. She had just moved to my friend group because her previous friend group were the popular girls and she's more or less the 'ugly duckling' even though I had previously had a crush on her, she was the odd one out you'd probably see in films. She had gotten one more than me. Hence, Top of the class and it was something she said that pissed me off. "Ha, I got more than you". That made my blood boil.

Why was I feeling this? It was only a mark off and mind you I've been very competitive since I was born so it wasn't helping. Is this normal or am I a dick for not feeling happy for my own friend.
