 Have you forgotten why you are at school? You are there to learn, gain qualifications and prepare yourself for the adult world, where you will have to earn your living.
You are NOT there to play at gangs and childish warfare - there are no career opportunities in that, unless you plan a life of street crime, with the inevitable consequences of being a guest of Her Majesty for many years!
GROW UP.

 Lol, how can you stop getting a teenager to think they're all that? You can't!
Sorry, it was a bit funny.
Anyways, it seems as there is a bit of rivalry between you and her. If you're really more powerful than her, then there's no need to prove it to anyone. You should already know that. Confidence is key. Also, you need to do your best to ignore her and her posse. There's no need to get into fights or start any wars. I'm sure your school has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to fighting, maybe even gangs. If you don't like her, then don't talk or look at her.

There is no violence going on, so really it's just a dispute of cliques and styles. Completely pointless. It sounds like you're obsessing over her, which GIVES her power over your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Be the bigger person and just drop it. None, and I mean, NONE of this will matter in a very short amount of time. Stop reacting and holding on to this animosity, and pretty soon, you won't even have to try to ignore each other.
