Chapter 3
That was what everyone wanted to hear.

They would not be cut from the team, and they could get close to Valkyrie.
Everyone jumped on the bandwagon. “[I agree! It’s a
no–brainer! Get rid of the lard bucket and bring in a goddess.]”
“[Yeah, Liv’s pretty good, but we don’t need experts. We need eye candy!]”
“[Plus, Valkyrie is awesome. She just hit Diamond rank yesterday!]”
“[Liv is nothing compared to Valkyrie. She’s beautiful and super skilled. I support getting rid of Liv.]”
The vote was unanimous. I was busy ignoring the chat.
The only message I saw was when the captain sent me a DM asking me to have an in–house match with Chad.
Whoever won, would get their way.
I read the chat, thinking that “Valkyrie” sounded familiar.
But I couldn’t remember where I’d heard the name.

Just then, the match started.
I couldn’t beat Chad. He played characters that had an advantage on my line.

He didn’t finish the match though. He would wait for me to die and then would laugh while recalling in front of my corpse.
After a few rounds of this, I sighed, surrendered, and told them I was going to leave the team.
I lost the match, but everyone else was thrilled.
“[Quick, quick, add Valkyrie!]”
Chad, looking smug, added a woman to the team a few minutes later.
I saw the name and avatar. It was so familiar.
The “Valkyrie” was my roommate, Stacy?!
Stacy entered the chat, and everyone went wild.
“[The goddess has arrived!]”
“[I’m so excited. Valkyrie, can I add you as a friend?]”
“[Valkyrie, can you please let me be your gaming partner?]”

“[Stop dreaming, Valkyrie belongs to Chad.]”

My hand froze as I went to leave the chat. I looked at Stacy who was eating fried chicken and giggling while typing.
Stacy could feel me looking at her. She glared at me, “What are you looking at? Everyone has their own preferences. So what if they call me a goddess? Do you think that everyone likes a person like you? Get over yourself!”
I looked away and didn’t say anything.
Maybe she had filtered her pictures and was using some kind of technology. Plus her voice was sweet and she had good people skills. She probably asked people to vote for her.
After scolding me, Stacy typed, “[Why is Liv still here? Chad won the match. Captain, are you not getting rid of her?]”
Chad immediately typed back, “[Of course I am!]”
Then he booted me from the Discord server.
Chad had asked me to join in the first place, so I wasn’t too sad that I was gone.
I found another team in our town, applied, and logged off.
I had to practice for my dance show this afternoon, so I wanted to take a nap.

Chapter 3
While I was drifting off, I felt like I was being stared at.

I rolled over and grumbled. I wasn’t even fully awake when I heard a loud thud, then Stacy’s pained screech.
“Oh! That hurt! What the heck are you doing, Liv!?”
”
I instantly woke up, sat up, and saw Stacy on the floor, looking like a blob. I frowned, and then I noticed that her phone screen was showing… a photo of me!
It was taken while I was napping!
I was faster than Stacy, picking up the phone. “Why are you taking pictures of me?”
She glanced at the screen, looking guilty.
But then, two seconds later, she gave me an annoyed look. “It’s just a photo! What’s your problem? You always take selfies. Why does it bother you?!”
I said coldly, “You’re violating my privacy. I’m going to tell the resident advisor.”
I was going to go report her when she jumped at me, squashing me with her bulk and grabbing the phone. She quickly deleted the picture.

She laughed. “Deleted dti NW harm, no foul! Don’t be so
sensitive!”
Then she pushed me out of the elder room, sneering, “Go ahead and report me! You can’t prove anything! Getdost!”
I was furious and messaged my residien naddvisor.
The resident advisor replied quickly: “[Livivl uudderstand. I will talk to your other roommate to hear her side obflihe story.]”
I sighed, that was all I could do.
Then the RA messaged: “[The city is having a ‘League off Legends‘ meet up next week. We need someone to go out add do a cosplay as a character. They’re missing a performer foothhe lead role. Are you interested?]”
II remembered what happened with Chad and replied without t tthinking, “[No interest.]”
TThen the RA hit me with: “[It adds points to your grade.]”
Me: “[Fine, I’ll go.]”
Itwaas jusha show. It’d be quick.
It was suedna big campus. There was no way I would see Chad theree.
