How come when I wanted to ask Eunice out everyone made fun of me, but then Sebastian likes her and suddenly she’s cool? Screw you guys. I hate high school.

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker objects to a double standard: liking Eunice drew ridicule until Sebastian liked her, at which point she became cool. The comparison exposes how quickly the group's judgment changes depending on who expresses interest. The final outburst turns that grievance into a verdict on high school.
