Mixed Emotions or Teacher Dislike??

Friday I found out my orchestra teacher Mr.Powell choose who got the solo for ISSMA contest. It was my one of my best friend's Lexi. Now Lexi is an amazing player but I was still hurt by his decision. People have alwaysed told me my violin playing would get me somewhere. But have I heard that I am somewhat good from Mr.Powell? Not a single word. This makes me really upset because he has told everyone else that was in my ISSMA group they were good. Me. Nada. For some reason I think he dislikes me. My guess is because I don't take lessons from the college or the school. I take lessons from a lady that has gone to the IU,Northwestern,and Iowa school's of music. Three of the best music schools in the midwest. I think that's really impressive and she's helped me so much. I also think Mr.Powell resent's the fact that I take lessons from her. It makes me sad and really mad at him. Now that period really takes the joy from my day. It must be oblivious to him how much I'm displeased in that class. It should seem obvious because I come in laughing with my friends. Durring the class I hardly smile or laugh. But once I'm out of there I'm back to my happy state. Doesn't that seem obvious?? Well that's my I guess mini rant. I'm not sure exactly what to call it but I feel much better after typing this.
