*Goddess is in last place?*
The Computer Science students awkwardly scratched their heads and rubbed their noses. They figured their Goddess might not win this one, but they definitely hadn't expected her to be dead last.
"It's fine to be last," the class president coughed twice, immediately adjusting his attitude and saying solemnly, "Juniper isn't a god who's perfect at everything. We have to leave some breathing room for everyone else."
"Makes sense." The students nodded in enthusiastic agreement.
"Tsk." The pre-med students nearby scoffed, their tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh sure, and the only reason we aren't billionaires is because we don't *want* to be, right?"
"Trash is trash! Stop making up high-sounding excuses!"
"Yeah, the way she talked when she signed up, you'd think she was guaranteed the gold."
"Well, she said she was going to be number one... she just didn't specify if it would be from the front or the back."
"Hahahaha..."
Sheryl stood by quietly, a smug, triumphant smile plastered across her face.
Hearing these malicious comments, the CS class was seething. Just as they were about to step up and argue, the class president's voice rang out again.
"Don't bother. If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back? Aren't you afraid of catching rabies?"
"Who are you calling a dog?" A pre-med student's face darkened as he shot back defensively.
"Whoever's barking, that's who," the class president smiled politely, twisting the knife.
The pre-med students opened their mouths, unsure whether to keep yelling or shut up entirely.
"Let's go cheer for Goddess," the class president said, turning his attention back to his fired-up classmates.
"Yeah, let's focus on what matters," the others agreed as they moved away.
"Sheryl, those CS kids are so sharp-tongued..." A pre-med student complained, turning green with anger.
