When was the moment you realized that your best friend wasn't your best friend?

So me and some kid from my first year of secondary school where really close during the first few months, we had a few classes together and we sat next to each other for most of them. His birthday was in a few days so I decided to make him a birthday card, I put a lot of effort into it and I couldn't wait to give it to him. As I gave it to him, he chuckled to himself and ripped the card into pieces. At the time I took it as a joke and laughed along with him, but this was probably the first red flag in our relationship.

Fast forward a few months and we were still pretty close, but he was starting to exclude me from our friend group. He would never invite me to anything and he was acting as though he was more important then others. Eventually he completely ignored me whenever I tried to talk to him or anyone else in that group.

He was extremely manipulative to me and many other people, he would practically force people to go where ever he wanted to go by grabbing there coat and almost dragging them, at this point I was fed up of listening to him.

I stopped talking to him for a couple months and I thought that would be the end of it.

Litterally a few days ago, there was an announcement that a select group of children would have the chance to take part in a chemistry convention that was being held in the University College of London. I was really excited because I have had a passionate love and interest to chemistry since a young age and I really wanted to go.

However, I was very upset to hear that I wasn't excepted, but rather that he was. Despite him knowing little to nothing about chemistry, he was bragging on to everyone about how I was so stupid and how he was more intelligent then I was. He was telling everyone how he didn't care that I wasn't going because he deserved it more.

I am only scratching the surface, he has done so many wrong things that I would prefer not to talk about. I am so sorry for anyone who is currently dealing with a situation like this, and I hope anyone who is reading this has an amazing day :)
