Narrative:
A student and I stopped at santa paula; ca; for fuel. After filling up; we taxied to runway 22. There were 2 aircraft ahead of us; doing a run-up. There is not a normal run-up area for runway 22. Our engine was warm; so I did a partial run-up and checked everything. The 2 other aircraft ahead of us appeared to still be doing a preflight run-up check; so I made a call on the CTAF that we were departing runway 22 for a left downwind departure; and took the runway with about 100 ft of runway behind us; and took off. On the downwind leg departure 4 mi east of the airport; one of the airplanes that had been holding ahead of us; came up beside us off our right wing about 300-400 ft away and flew alongside us for 1 min. I made a right climbing turn to get away from the aircraft. Apparently; the pilot was upset because I took off before them.
