I'm pulling away... Is this a right move?

I think i have a condescending friend or something along similar lines... These are the symptoms;

- She calls me stupid and dumb and never apoligises.

- She has been gradually getting more confident and cheerful since conveying her dis respectful behavior towards me.Note that while she's going up in mood i'm going down in happiness.

- She apologises to others for her mistakes but never apologises to me.

- She demands a justification for EVERYTHING I do

"Why are you in a hurry?"

"Why are you intent on doing something active this semester?"

"Why do you want to get that one and not this one?"

- She studies and examines my every move, emotion and look. She stares at my writing when I write and demands and pesters to see my artwork, which i'm not comfortable sharing with her, or anyone anymore.

- If i beat her in a web game she'll brush it off and say "yeah yeah yeah, whatever i know".

What do you think is/are her intention(s)? I've been feeling upset and down lately, i just don't enjoy her presence anymore. She's in alot of my classes next year, and i want to avoid her and find new friends. Even though i've been giving her a sort of cold shoulder she continues to follow me around and chit chat. I can't stand it, she's been robbing me of my happiness, and i haven't been reacting well. I have been backchatting her and falling back in frustration because i can't understand...

PLEASE HELP.

    I have had friends like this. They just sort of bring you down and make you feel bad about yourself. I never found the courage to stand up to them, and I always wanted to tell them I no longer wanted to be friends. Eventually we grew apart and I was glad, but I've always regretted never standing up to them. ou So I say, tell her she makes you feel like crap and that you are done. You don't want anything to do with her anymore. It might make you an enemy, and it might be hard, but I think you will be glad when you find friends that actually make you happy.
