GUYS THIS IS REALLY LONG BUT VERY GOOD GOSSIP TRUST
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ( i read the whole thing and it took about ten minutes)
mind you this whole ordeal takes place in over a year so thats why its so long
if you don't read the whole thing please don't comment something mean
its a really complicated situation and i hope you guys will share your opinions!!
i'll give my friends some letters so you dont get confused cause this is MESSY.
in the beginning of 7th grade (two years ago mind you) this girl (we'll call her R) started in the class next to us ( on the same year as me) and everybody was really curious about her because she never said anything and was always seen with like a stone face quietly walking behind the mean and popular girls
then everything settled back to normal but in like september/october she disappeared, i didn't really notice because she was in a different class than me but some of my friends did because they had art class with her.
then last year in the beginning of 8th grade one of my friends (we'll call her T) started in this smaller class made for kids with troubles at school because school kind of sucked for her which is understandable tbh. There she met R. Mind you my friend T is very alternative and she has autism so she didn't really talk to anyone in the small class. But the teacher (who is the dumbest bitch EVER) insisted that they should be best of friends despite having literally nothing in common except for their age.
Another one of my friends ( let's call her A) came once or twice a week to visit T where she then met R and she was just being normal polite and having normal conversations as you do when you're stuck in a classroom together, and of course that fuckass teacher insisted that they also had to hang out together.
In december, the day before the christmas holidays our entire yeargroup had a party where me and my friends from class were introduced to R and we honestly had a great time and she seemed perfectly normal. we then added her to our snapchat group and then everything changed.
during the holidays she constantly and i mean CONSTANTLY send snaps of literally every piece of food she ate like she was some sort of mukbang influencer and it was like I was the only one replying because everyone else got sick of it and she just kept going (keep in mind we'd known her for A DAY).
Then in january she starts coming in our class because A usually was in our class and sat next to me and my best friend, O. but almost a week after she starts A stopped coming to class because she was going through a hard time. So out of nowhere me and O are stuck with R who we didn't know AT ALL.
and it was REALLY AWKWARD. like it was so bad. we had nothing to talk about and we'd try to talk like we used to but we literally had to hold her hand through the conversations and i get that it was hard for her too but i really tried to get her into the conversations because O was so stressed out by it. And sometimes she'd ask some seriously weird questions without any context.
our typical conversations went like this:
R: so uhh what are we doing? i don't really get it
me: so we just have to do this math stuff its not so bad
R: oh, uh, where is the link?
me: in the classroom server....
*normal comfortable silence because we're doing our math*
R: So uhh whats your favorite cartoon superhero?
me: o_o
and that was what it was like. ALL THE TIME. especially because she didnt get any of the references we'd make and she didnt trust us at all.
in the beginning of april we had a school sleepover with our class and suddenly R couldn't find her concealer which was the same as my friend S's concealer. so she started ACCUSING her of having stolen it out of nowhere.
literally out of nowhere she also gets obsessed obsessed with billie eilish which is understandable and i think it was mostly because we also talked about her but she used to be a huge fan of central cee but i heard she used to like her before so its not that big of a deal. but she changed her style in hair and clothes and makeup AND interests in the span of THREE WEEKS.
then at the end of april, it was O's birthday and me and T were talking about a cosplay festival we were going to the next day and she asked if she could come and we were like sure despite it kind of being our thing, especially because we were cosplaying scott and wallace together.
on the way to the festival we didn't really know where to go so we just agreed to follow people in cosplay and she asked me what COSPLAY was. like... girl???? why are you even here??
it was kind of awkward the whole time especially because she didn't know anything about scott pilgrim or cosplay and when we made tiktoks we just said she could be stacy ( scotts sister)
its important to mention for the next part that something thats special about our friendgroup is that we are all really different and we all have different styles and interests but we get along really well!
the days went on and our conversations got less awkward but it was still really bad. then i started noticing that she had started wearing layered shirts more and more often (she used to be a nike tracksuit central cee fan) and do more and more alternative makeup or no makeup at all. And no one else except for me whore layered shirts. Then she started talking about liking the same stuff as me but in like a causal way instead of starting actual conversations.
then i started doing facepaint on myself and post it on insta because it was a way to deal with disassociating attacks which i had a lot. Guess what. so did she. then i started talking about that i would like to dye my hair. Guess what. The same day she rushed to the store and dyed her hair. then she started talking about LOVING deftones and im the only one in my friendgroup that is a fan of them.
then she started drawing ( we really like to draw in our friendgroup) and imma be so fr it was really ugly. i usually don't hate people's art but it was so forced and she kept showing it off.
then i started doing something on my insta story called song of the day ( a very music snob thing to do i know) and.... you guessed it! so did she. something else that was really weird is that she wrote all her captions on her insta posts in english ( im from denmark) and her profile was private and there's 8 people that follow her and its just people in our class.
then may/june came around and we went on a school trip to an island in denmark for a week. it was honestly really fun except for one thing. during the week she, S and another friend had made an outfits throughout the week video just for the fun of it with no plan of posting it. But she posted it anyways WITHOUT telling the others or even asking for permission and it was on her PUBLIC tiktok. she actually posted a video with me from the cosplay festival but i dont mind really. they asked her to take it down and she did but it was still really weird.
then something crazy happened. summervacation came around and i was on a vacation but a lot of my friends wasn't and they had been talking about going to the public pool but me, S and O had been on a call together and they said they didn't really want to go because it was going to be really hot so there'd be a lot of people there. the next day O asked in the group chat if anybody wanted to go to the forest instead.
And then R crashed tf out in the groupchat.
she literally sent a really long paragraph like some sort of facebook mom seeing something a little too woke for her taste. She was super mad about the fact that nobody had replied and instead just asked if someone wanted to do something else and it was really intense but we all explained that O would never mean it like that and that she in the text actually invited everyone to come. It was so awkward.
then in july her and O went to a concert with a really popular band here in denmark. in the middle of the concert they said that they were going to play a completely new song and after the song R was like "omg it was really good i'll def go listen to it when i get home"
O then explained that it was new and unreleased but she kept insisting that it had to be on one of their albums and mind you they were in the middle of the crowd with people that had been the bands fans since they came out. like girl???? her common sense is really missing sometimes.
that day she also talked about loving cosplay despite not having known what it was like two months ago. she also did a max goof cosplay at home out of nowhere.
towards the end of the summer we had a hangout where we just went to the city to go shopping and istg she would not shut up about Labubus and i HATE labubus so we joked about buying a labubu and then fucking torturing it together and she didn't get it at all. i tried so hard to explain to her that it was a micro trend that will eventually end up in landfill and she started getting MAD at me and was like there HAS to be SOME tiktok trend you like and i was like NO.
then on the way home we sat in this really crowded train at it was raining and we were all really tired when she started talking about taking sefies as if i wasn't pressed up against literal strangers. also because we knew she'd post it without asking and then she got mad at us because we didn't want to take a selfie.
then school started again and we'd been talking a lot about her because it was getting seriously weird. and especially me was really mad at her because she had copied me and T SO MUCH without saying like 'hey i think what youre doing is really cool' or anything
then one day she came to school with some sort of gyaru makeup but she was really pale and it looked really weird and she told us she had been trying to go for a JAPANESE VIBE. what the fuck is a japanese vibe???? she obviously dont know anything about gyaru style and she just saw me doing it ( im not gyaru but i had done it for a theater show on a camp in the summer that i'd posted on insta) and i honestly think its really disrespecful towards the subculture.
when the repost function on insta came i started reposting a lot about alternative fashion and she reposted the same videos as if she isn't the biggest poser ever.
like she cant repost about being alternative and then loving tiktok microtrends and labubus.
she also started reposting stuff about the amazing digital circus which T is a big fan of. But i know that if she actually had watched it she would tell me about it and its so weird that she reposts videos about stuff she doesn't know what is. she also tried getting on spacehey but she kinda gave up on that which im really happy about.
WAIT I FORGOT THE MOST CRAZY PART (updated!!)
at S's birthday in june my friend (B) who is in the class R started in in 7th grade and she told us something that changed our whole perspective.
You see, we saw her as this quiet kinda awkward girl who was generally very polite. But she told us that when she had started in 7th the girls ofc tried to be nice to her and let her join the group but she was super cold and distant ad it just got worse. ( ofc the mean girls kind of made fun of her but it was very mild) and she wears glasses but she always wore these sunglasses on top of her hair and when they asked her why she just ignored them but when the boys asked her to make fun of her she was all giggly and was like tihihi idk. ALSO apparently they had asked her to join some kind of drawing game and she said she didnt really like DRAWING (she's obssesed with drawing now)
slowly she stopped talking to them and they just thought she was kind of weird. Then out of nowhere she storms into the class after a break and tells the teacher she would like a girls meeting (something we have when theres serious drama)
at the meeting theres total silence and then a girl from the class stands up is like youve been acting super weird and we TRIED to be nice to you but you just ignored us
and then R just has the biggest bitchflip. She starts pointing at literally every girl in the class and is like you did something, you did something and so did you. even to girls who didnt do anything.
then she starts screaming about how they never listened to her, never respected her and was super mean. overall just starts blaming them for literally every possible thing they could have done. Apparently she also threatened with beating them up its was insane..
a lot of the girls starts crying but of course the teacher takes R's side. B then walks out with one of her friends whos is literally having a panic attack. it sounded super crazy.
now shes back in our class and we've noticed she's acting weird and ignoring T who was her original friend. Apparently she asked her why she'd reposted some of those videos.
guys let me know am i the asshole in this situation? I really try my best to be nice to her and so does my friends but she acts seriously weird sometimes. its not as awkward as it used to be but im planning on confronting her about the poser things and also the weird reposts.
hope you guys understand my situation!!! love ya <3

Hey im one of the friends (im not mentioned as other than "another friend" because my initial is also A so it would be kind of confusing. But i just wanted to add that at the meeting B told us about R actually threatend to hit the girls and one of the other girls was not having her bullshit so she started arguing back, but the teatcher took R`s side.
I will say i do get R, she seems very sweet, but socially awkward with a very short memory at times, but i think the reason she coopies so much is because she has been in around 6 difrent classes, even repating a class because she got bulied i think, so its because she might be scared to be herself and get rejected, that she needs to copy to fit in.
ideksofxx
i just read all of this because i (unfortunely) love drama, and let me tell you: THAT'S messed up.
i think that you're def not the asshole and none of your friends are either.
Honestly, i could understand her point of view, hanging out with cool people and try different styles and hobbies you see your friends have could be fun and maybe even let you discover new things you enjoy, but straight up COPYING someone's whole personality is just weird.
Confronting her would be good, so that you could clear the air, but personally i wouldn't feel too bad for cutting her off
Thank u sm!!!!!
