Social status is one of the many things that human society has had for many centuries. The names have changed but this hierarchy has always existed. And there is no better example of this representation of this than high school. Every school has a hierarchy and in that hierarchy there is what is commonly known as a Queen Bee. A female that excels more than any other in some field or another. Her beauty and dominion is usually unquestionable by the rest of the school body, be it students and or teachers.

In Metropolis High's gym, one can see the Queen Bee of the school.

She stood tall with a flawless hourglass figure and lightly tanned skin. Her long golden hair was tied in a ponytail, and her eyes were deep amber like those of a predator just waiting for its next meal. She wore the school's gymnastics uniform which showed off her amazing legs and hugged the rest of her body like a second skin. She ran towards the springboard and jumped high, executing two flawless turns in the air, before landing with a grace similar to that of a wild cat.

All the girls and the coach gather to congratulate her. Even though she was certain of the result from the start.

"That was amazing Barbi, you are sure to become captain once more," said one of the girls to the now named Queen Bee.

"Yes, that was to be expected," Barbi said, her arrogance cemented with a British accent. "After all, I wasn't the one that fell on the finals," She tacked on, adding insult to injury.

"Congratulations Barbi, that was the best jump we've seen all day," said the coach while carrying a clipboard.

"If it's all done and good, I'll be captain this year, again," said Barbi wrapping a towel around her neck.

However, much like in the animal kingdom, a rival will always arrive to challenge the current Queen Bee. Knowingly or not.

"Actually, there's one more girl applying to the team," said the coach causing Barbi's eyes to snap open.

"What? WHO?" Barbi demanded.

"A Diana Prince," said the coach, looking at the clipboard.

Everyone turned to see Diana, kneeling and reciting some form of mantra for what she was about to do.

"Oh great Boreus, heed my call. May your breath keep me aloft," said Diana before being called by the coach.

"Prince, you're up!" said the coach, as Barbi and the rest of the girls watched.

Diana rose up from her kneeling position, taking in a deep breath. With the strength and speed of a goddess, Diana charged forward. She did a cartwheel before landing on the springboard. She jumped high above the onlookers, performing three summersaults before landing with a grace unlike any they had ever seen. All the girls, save Barbi, went over to congratulate Diana on her flawless jump.

Barbi, for her part, was not happy one bit.

"Wow! We should have co-captains this year!" suggested the coach.

"What?! Absolutely not!" Barbi replied, insulted by the idea.

"Alright," the coach replied, before dropping a bomb on Barbi. "Congratulations Prince, you're the new team captain."

Barbi could only stare in disbelief as her position was given to someone else. She glared at Diana, recognizing her as a rival she had to snuff out.

Afterwards, in a class of AP Calculus, Barbi was looking over her makeup with her pocket mirror. A big part of her time was spent in keeping herself groomed and desirable at any time. Just then, the teacher came up to her with a perfect scored test.
