"Calem, I do believe you're taking this rivalry a bit too far. Don't you think you're overstepping it? I mean, it was rational when he was just appearing out of the blue wherever you are, but now you're /following him/, and I don't want to make you feel bad, but he's defeated you everytime. I think it would be better to admit your shortcomings, accept your losses and inferior ranking, and drop this charade before it turns into a bullying situation."
This is both good and bad. It's good because her pointing that out means that she cares about your well-being even if it means shooting you down a few notches.
It's bad because she thinks you have no balls to stand up to your bully, err...rival. Only losers have bullies.
A) [Some dumb speech about standing up for yourself goes here.]
B) Consider that you may be going a bit too far.
C) Tell Serena straight-up that she has no place in this situation and should step out your corn flakes.
D) Tell her that only ocean-loving prudes believe in the shitty ignorance is bliss mentality.
