How do I compete with someone who is perfect?

I'm a junior in high school. I have long hair, pimples, and I drink beer in the bathrooms. He -I'll call him D- looks like a greek god and is captain of the swim team. I dress myself in whatever I find on the floor. He looks like he has a team of dress coordinators working day and night to put together the most perfect and flattering outfits for him. I'm sometimes pretty funny in cynical and extremely dry way. He's got the sense of humor that isn't exactly profound or deep but that has teachers, students, parents, everyone and anyone laughing. When girls meet him, within a week they're talking like they've known him all their lives. They're going back and forth to each others houses after school. They're going to the movies and hanging out and doing whatever he wants because he's perfect. My best friend that I've known since we were kids forgot about me when she met him and threatened me with violence the first time I ever voiced my opinion that he's a douche. I let him have her, though it's not like I had any choice. He used to talk about me behind my back to my friends but apparently I'M the one starting drama because he's just too sweet to do anything wrong. He takes the girls I'm interested in. He takes my friends. The one time I had the same cl as him, he had the teacher against me on the first day. I may be a little paranoid about all this, but it's driving me insane. I'm attracted to this one girl who is like the female version of myself. We get along perfectly and we think in much the same way about many things. Whenever I see her outside of cl, she's with D and while not together D always hugs her or puts his arm around her right then and there. If you couldn't tell, I'm extremely jealous of this guy. I want to be him but at the same time I hate his guts, and I am not the type of person who hates people without reason. Being that my teenage mind is underdeveloped and raging hormones have me permanently confused and making irrational decisions, I'll trust to your opinions on what I should do.
