Because the Gorgeous Villain is Ledger’s soccer rival

My brother plays soccer too and he’s a legend in hiry Thorn, because my brother is a hothead and our last name is Thorne

Anyway, they both play for the same teaenda

However, they aren’t–friends, I enda, at all

Probably because they’re both forwards for Bardstown High One is left wing and the other is right and basically, they’re supposed to help each other

But they don’t because they have this ongoing, age-old contest, where whoever scores the oals in the season wins

It’s a matter of pride and honor and a whole lot of testosterone

I don’t kno it got started, this contest, rivalry, whatever you want to call it, but they both take it very seriously Their whole team, which is divided intocamp, takes it seriously as well

So does the whole town

Whoever wins this unofficial contest beco chaoal last season – who also happens to be the captain of the team

The whole town treats hi

Which means free drinks, free food at local restaurants, posters on park benches and light poles Back pats froirls

Trust ths to be the winner

They’ll do anything to ame on and off the field just so they have a better chance of scoring goals

And for years I’ve heard about it, about their rivalry, about him

I’ve heard how corrupt he is, how evil and twisted How he’d do anything to win at soccer How , bastard, s he is

But of course, I can’t call him that I can’t call him all those names

I’irl

I don’t curse

Besides, h for all of us

Hence the naeous Villain

Anyway, it’s gaht now

A little personal confession: I don’t like soccer Not at all

I think it’s boring and I’d rather be ho in s to do

Another personal confession: I don’t understand this rivalry either I don’t understand this whole need to win and be the best at any cost I mean, they play for the same team, don’t they? If the team wins, they win, correct?
