𝐏𝐒𝐘𝐂𝐇𝐄, a book of rants

I need help with decision-making

Imma get straight to the point because I don't know what to say so yea🤠🤠

Okay so, there is this girl in my school and we are like, friends. In her pov, we are like besties but I've only known her for like, two months. We met on the 7th of February (which, if you didn't know, is National Dana Day, aka my birthday) it was also my first day at school so there's that.

I met her because I have two Desi friends who are from the same part of India as me and they knew this girl (who we will call H). However, H was constantly left out of their little group because she wasn't indian and I know this makes the Desi people sound like bitches but they aren't, they didn't mean to make her feel like that.

Anyways, and I'm guessing because she feels this way, she became desperate for a friend and that's where I come in. I joined this school in the middle of the semester and she was the first person I saw so we quickly became friends.

Now, the problem is, this girl H is WAYYYYYY too clingy
And I mean that in the most physical way.

Like, she's the kind of person who constantly wants to hold hands and put her arm around your shoulder. And whenever I'm like, no I don't like that she just grabs my hand and holds onto it until I have to literally wrestle my hand out of her grip.

Not only does that make be weirdly uncomfortable, it also makes other people ask us if we are a fucking couple.

Like, imagine having a friend who's so fucking clingy that you get mistaken for a couple. That's like, double uncomfortable for me-

She also be hitting me for no fucking reason. Like you could be sitting there doing absolutely nothing and she'll come up to you and start hitting your legs and arms. And it hurts, I won't say it won't, but it's more about how annoying it is that she won't stop and less about the fact that it hurts. When you hit her back she hits you back and just keeps doing it until you find some leverage and use it to make her stop.

Also in the beginning, like the second day we met, she starts telling me random shit about herself like her shoe size and her crush. And I don't like it when people overly open up to me in like, level 1 of our friendship because when we get to say level 5 it's like I've accomplished nothing in getting to know you.

And she talks about her crush like, 27/4

I mean like every single time we see each other she's like, Oh my crush did this, he looked at me like that, and so on and it's honestly so annoying and makes me feel like shit because I didn't tell her about mine.

So I told her about the guy I like and I'm gonna be sure he is just a hallway crush. Nothing serious. But not only does she now talk about MY CRUSH 24/7, she also found her long lost friend (let's call her B) and told me to tell B about the guy.

And I was under pressure at that point because B was sitting right in front of us and we were discussing something that's obviously kept as a secret from her. I know how that feels and I would never want another person to feel like your friends are plotting against you and so I was like yea ok tell her.

And look, B was cool about it and never brought it up afterwards but its more about how a person you've known for less that a goddamn day knows who you like yk?

Anyways, now my question is: am I overreacting and is this what the average friendship between 13 year olds looks like?

Or should I like avoid H and just try not to speak to her when we are alone?

OR, do I platonically break up with her and risk losing all my other friends?

Someone help because even with no close friends whatsoever, my life always has time for the sad and depressing kind of drama.

Like why?
What the fuck did I do for my life to be this miserable?

Anyways,
Byeees
