Anyways, Z is a loud girl too. So we hang out a lot, and she's, as far as I'm concerned, my handbag. But people see me as the handbag, why? An idea just came to mind that maybe it's because she's been at my school for longer and people already know her as the loud one, but I can tell you now that I'm not an imitator.
This is annoying. In Year Eight, a Year Eleven laughed that Z was the 'ring leader', but it's not true, and today my French Teacher and everyone agreed that Z was louder than me. Z tells me all the time that I'm too loud, which I take pride in, because she might be thin, but she will never take my voice.
Why?
I keep on making excuses.
It's because she's prettier.
It's because she's thinner.
It's because she's been here longer.
But what if it's true, and what if all I am is a handbag? This is one of the few I have left, my loudness, my leadership, you can't take that away from me.

You're a good writer, you know that???
I think you become a leader once you realise that not everyone will recognise the fact you are actually pretty cool. So what if Z is loud? Does that make her anymore intelligent than you, or anymore of a talented writer, or more ambitious?
Your opening sentence struck me because it's so full of confidence - but confidence is also accepting that other people will think what they want, and you should be happy no matter they think.
Looking forward to reading more!

why do people see each other as handbags? I think really taking a step away from your "friend's" interests and establishing yourself as your own person will really help. You can be leaders in different circles, and if there are no different circles, then knowing you are a (or the) true leader will eventually make people see that as well.
