Chad suddenly brightened up.
He thought he had a chance. “Sorry, Liv. I’m.
not in love with her. Do anything you want
with her. I’ll only be nice to you.”
“You are disgusting. You two are a perfect
match! One steals my photos and lies, and
<
the other is a shallow jerk. Don’t even look at
me.”
I tried to leave, but Chad wouldn’t let me. He
begged me to give him a chance.
Just then, five guys came over. When they
saw Chad was bothering me, they pulled me
out of his grasp.
It was “Feed Until Full.”
Chad frowned. “This is between me and her.
Back off!”
“She clearly wants nothing to do with you.
You’re so pushy.”
Then they looked at me. “Hey, you wanna go?
We’ll hold this idiot back.”

I said, “Thanks,” and ran off.

When I left the arena, my roommates were
waiting.
Stacy was there too.
She was in a great mood; Chad had asked
her to be his girlfriend!
I walked up and ruined her little fantasy.
“Stacy, were you the #1 ‘Beauty Queen‘?”
Stacy froze. “What do you mean?”
I pulled out my phone. “I bet you thought that
because I was busy, I wouldn’t notice that you
stole my pictures, didn’t you?”

Stacy’s face went white!
She tried to grab my phone.
I backed away, looking down at her.
Stacy panicked, “No, Liv! I didn’t steal your
pictures. But because you’re always too busy,
I did it for you! It’s a waste to leave that face
unused! I got you the Beauty Queen title. I’m
so popular! Why don’t we work together?”
I frowned. “Work together?”
“Yeah!” Stacy started to calm down, looking
down on me. “You can take the pics, and I’ll
do the promotions. Tell everyone that they are
mine. We’ll split the prizes.”
I couldn’t believe the audacity! “You’re
<
Stacy scoffed. “You’re only beautiful, but I
have more followers. You need a face like
mine to get popular! I’m handing you the
perfect opportunity. Why aren’t you jumping
on it?”
I laughed, “Yeah, you’re so popular, you can
keep telling your followers.”
“What? You’re gonna expose me? No, Liv! Do
you know how hard I’ve worked to get my
followers?!”
She tried to grab my phone, but I dodged her.
Then we heard someone yell, “You! You’re
the real Valkyrie? Why did you use Liv’s
pictures?!”
We turned and saw Chad coming toward us,

As soon as Chad showed up, Stacy started
acting sweet.
She looked all pitiful, and managed to
squeeze out a few tears. “Chad, honey, I’m
sorry. I tricked you. But my feelings for you
were real. We were so great together! Let’s
just forget about the pictures. We’re a good
match, aren’t we?”
Chad looked at her face, feeling disgusted.
A good match?
He felt sick looking at her!
