Obviously I don't know this friend/ have not witnessed the situation between you two, but here's my two cents. Often times showing off is rooted in great insecurity, perhaps this girl is not confident in herself, which is why she makes a point of stresses her grades. I know someone who does this- she is very intelligent and constantly gets high grades but makes a point out of them. However, she is one of my closest friends so I know she isn't confident in her own abilities and constantly seeks validation from other people. This might be the case with the girl you mentioned above.

Personally, I always tell people when something they do annoys/hurts me. Sometimes she might not realize she's annoying you or what she's saying is embarrasing. Again from personal examples, one of  my friends has a tendency to take jokes too far. Instead of creating hostility between us and keeping a grudge for some offhand remark she doesn't realize was offensive, I tell her right when the joke is starting to go too far. Maybe try this with your friend and see if it works?

Wow, this was huge o.0 sorry lol.
