Again, I have a girlfriend and I haven’t replied to Kate at all in the month that all of this has been happening. That’s more than clear enough. I know her, and I know that she’s fully aware I don’t like her, and never have. This is a matter of attention, not confusion.

As mean as it may seem, I really don’t care if I hurt her by ignoring her. When you cross the line, repeatedly, your feelings no longer matter. Sometimes it’s harder to process that, especially when you’re young, but that doesn’t mean you should be treated as though you’re incapable of it. Maybe this is the wakeup call that she needs. She may not have the maturity of an adult, but she’s definitely not a child anymore and she shouldn’t be treated like one, or she’ll never learn.

The problem isn’t that she won’t stop contacting me. I blocked her on everything, so there’s no problem there. It’s that I don’t know if I should involve Rachel, on the chance that Kate might try to spin the story in a different way.

According to my younger brother (who goes to school with Kate) she’s made up things about guys who aren’t interested in her before. Her stories always change and people always let it slide because she’s Kate.

I don’t want to give her the chance to do that to me.
