How to deal with this student?

Her name is Jennifer, is a 9th grader in my Art class. She’s popular, many boys have a crush on her, she’s a starter on Varsity basketball, and her family is rich. She somehow has a C in my class, even though most of the grades are completion. I’ve noticed some unhealthy ways she engages with peers such as:

• She comes to class late every day and will say: “I want to sit in this seat.” And the person seated there will move for her to sit, even if it isn’t her friend.

• On a few occasions, she’s been told her shoe was untied, and she just looked at a nearby student, then they would kneel down and tie it for her.

• When it’s time to get materials, someone always gets them and puts them away for her. They also clean her area

• She regularly tells students they aren’t allowed to talk to her or calls people losers or geeks.

• Someone from another class usually brings her a snack and drink during class, she’s even told students that she doesn’t want it or that they need to bring something else next time.

It’s basically like we are her peasants and that she is too good for others.
