My cousin and I are seniors in the same highschool. He just moved to our school this year. Our school has a system in which students are ranked based on their grades and everyone knows the ranking. It's to motivate students to try harder.

I'm ranked 1 and I have been 1st for a while though it's a very close competition between me and rank 2 and 3. My cousin is ranked 52nd.

My cousin has started the habit that he will refer to us as rivals. He will tell people that we are rivals and it's really annoying. A few days ago when we were all visiting a family member, he was talking to our uncle about how exciting it is that we are rivals now. I told him sorry but we are not rivals. Rivals are people who compete for the same goal. Your goal can't possibly be the same as mine. You are not one of the people that I'm worried will take my rank. You are not one of the people which i try very hard to be better than so no you are not my rival.

He thinks I'm an asshole
