Narrative:
While in the pattern at cpt on my third touch and go I called myself on final for runway 15 with my intentions of [doing] another touch and go. On climb out I heard another airplane call 2 miles southwest of cpt. I then called out [my call sign] turning right crosswind for runway 15 followed by a seminole announcing takeoff and following myself in the pattern. Upon following my turn to downwind I saw my shadow; and a low wing airplane descending near us. I once again called my position and what was this low wing doing descending into a pattern from above the traffic pattern altitude. The seminole that had been following me diverted its pattern in order to make room for this person who thought he could just make room for them and see everyone else make room. I then descended to make sure that this person who clearly didn't observe the traffic pattern was clear of me.
