It was junior year when Eric and Brad had a falling out. Brad found out that Eric had made a select team that he didn't make. Brad was so jealous and upset that he kicked Eric off of the soccer team in revenge. Not only that, but Brad said Eric was never even aloud to come near the soccer field again!
With nowhere to go, Eric decided to accept his defeat and focus on his studies. He began tutoring a girl named Lacey. However, he never got over being cut from the soccer team.
One day Ryan, the captain of the football team, the class president, and also the most popular guy in school, came to Eric and said,
"I heard you are tutoring Lacey, I want you to convince her to go out with me."
After discussion, Eric agreed to help Ryan if Ryan agreed to help him get back on the soccer team first.
He agreed and the plan was set in motion.
Ryan advised that Eric challenge Brad to a soccer match- the winner gets to be on the soccer team.
Brad was not one to turn down a challenge and was very confident he was better than Eric.
They picked their teams and the gam began.
Brad had a quick lead but Eric had a secret weapon - Ryan used to play soccer.
It was the last twenty minutes of the game and Ryan came in. Eric passed him the ball and Ryan maneuvered it around Brad. He shoots, he scores!
Eric and Ryan had won the match. Brad was off the team and Eric was made team captain. Eric was overjoyed. Brad was devastated but accepted his fate.
Now it was Ryan's turn.

Authors note:
I decided to do my story based on Vali and Sugriva and their final battle that ends with Vali's death and Sugriva getting the crown.
Eric is Sugriva, Brad is Vali, and Ryan is Rama.
Buck, William (1976). Ramayana: King Rama's Way.
This in an interesting story inspired by the tale of Vali and Sugriva. The way things occurred between them didn't always make sense to me. I would think that brothers would be capable of talking it out, but I guess that isn't always the case. Your story a great job recreating the tale of Vale and Sugriva in a different setting.
ReplyDeleteHe Carrie, this is a really cool story post! I really enjoyed how you took a modern twist on the whole battle and incorporated it into a sort of high school drama situation. I could totally see this being a scene on a reality TV show like One Tree Hill or Saturday Night Lights. All in all it was very creative and most enjoyable read. Keep up the good work.
