best suggestion is try and get along because if you walk away from that group, you might lose your good friends as well and then things will get a lot worse!

you have three options:
a) Live with it. b) Have a drink with him. When you get drunk with someone its a beatiful thing, all that animosity washes away no matter who it is. c) Find a new group of friends.
I personally would do number b, and if that doesn't work I would do number a. Since you are in your last year of high school you will never see alot of these people again so maybe just live with it? You will meet people you don't get along with in life, might as well get used to it.

You will meet people you don't get along with in life, might as well get used to it. First, both a and b are letters. Next, b only works if they are both smart. b can easily turn into a fight if you hate eachother as much as you say. Good idea if you won't fight tho.

^I don't know who you drink with (angry hippies?) but if I get drunk with someone who I don't like the animosity increases and leads to drunken brawls.
If you really can't stand this guy, and your friend is aware of that and doesn't care, you need to evaluate your friend. Are you going away for school? Are you going to be in a position to hang out with this friend much? If not then it isn't that big of a deal. You two will just drift apart naturally as your choices of friends begin to change after you enter university. Not to say you will never talk to him again, but you need to reevaluate how strong your friendship is.

wow thanks alot guys very helpful suggestions here "You will meet people you don't get along with in life, might as well get used to it." i really like that i don't think i'll have a chance to talk to him but should i offer to talk to him first just to end the tension (i didn't mention we're in a silent war) then keep the relationship at a neutral level (just say hi once in a while but not hang out or talk alot) so tension goes down when me and my friends are around him? but this will give him a chance to shut me down by walking away or saying get lost which will be really dry on my part what would you guys do

And bigbadsheep need to evaluate whether anyone can make an evaluation about how good of a friend their friend is in a reliable manner. Its not gonna happen.
The last thing u want is drama.
Just accept the kid, and leave it. Hang with your friends, if you have enough in common with your friends to stick around, and this guy does too, it should work out.

If he shuts you down then who cares, he just confirmed that he actually is a douche (which you knew already before) and you're back at the starting point, so nothing lost. Most likely however he won't be a douche and will respond to your "peace offering" lol

This kind of crap stopped after Grade 12, when all my buddies realized that we're no longer little children anymore and that it's time to grow up -- we're adults for frick's sake.

Your saying that like after your first year of university or something your magically enlightened and can get along or manage with everyone. It's not really that different in adulthood. There's always going to be people you don't like/ don't get along with, and if they are co-workers you do what needs to be done professionally, and if they are friends of friends you give them a small smile and polite nod and that's it.

to the original poster: i've been in the same situation as you. my friend initiated arguments with me and said some rude things behind my back. slowly another friend distanced herself away from me as well because her best friend and i didn't like each other and eventually i just dropped all of them and made new friends. the reason for me doing so was because i knew that i deserved a lot better and i just wasn't happy with the way things were. you have to consider your values when making a decision like this because people will turn their backs on you even the ones that you think won't. think about the grad party, will you be comfortable with the fact that you will be going with other people. think about if it's truly worth it to drop them. do they make you feel upset? do they talk about you behind your back? personally, even after i lost 5 friends within a matter of a month or two, i think it was the best decision that i've made in a while. i get to hang out with people that i am happy being around even if i'm not that close with them.
also to others: regardless of how old you are, some people will be rude and have a "high school mentality". there are people that gossip in the workplace and there's nothing that can really be done about it. i think this usually happens because a) people get stuck with the same group of friends for a long time until the mentality sticks to them and they can't really change it unless they put hard work into it and b) people usually go from high school to university to the workplace which means that many people may still have that mentality because there were no years taken off to grow as a person or others don't allow the change to occur. i don't know if this makes sense to anyone else besides myself lol.
