A brawl between Isabel and a rival.

The sky is blue, the sun rises from the east, and the world is round (probably). These are indisputable facts that -barring some cosmic intervention- will never change. However, there is one more thing we can add to that list, the fact in question being the eternal rivalry between the soccer teams of Edward N. Foltest college and the Educational University of the Future. For some long-forgotten reason, both rival teams have been at each other’s throats for years and the feud shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. In fact, the antagonism between the two teams has become more ruthless than ever before with the introduction of the aptly named: Battle of the Bel’s.

As for the reason behind this unusual title, you need only glance at both names of the team captains. In charge of ENF’s soccer team is the notorious blonde who haunts the nightmares of many a bullied girl, Isabel. As for EUF’s team, it is captained by the bullheaded Annabel, or ‘Anna’ as her friends call her. Neither girl can stand the other and as such they have spearheaded the escalation of the ever-present school rivalry.

For months, these two girls have kept their ‘battles’ limited to only the soccer field, as the odds of them encountering one another in public was practically non-existent given the distance between both colleges. Yet it would seem as if fate decided it was time for the conflict to reach its climax with their next clash. A nearby town was having a grand opening of a new mall that had just finished being constructed, and the people in charge were going to make it into a giant spectacle that nobody would want to miss. Naturally, both Bel’s heard about the event and were dead set on going. So after each girls pulled together a small group of their friends from their teams to join in on the fun, they made their way to the mall.

With parking options being limited by the sheer influx of attendees at the grand opening, the two groups were **** to park at a nearby park and make their way over on foot. A palpable sense of foreboding hung in the air as an ominous wind blew through the park, a sign of the coming storm that would throw everything into disarray. Both Bel’s felt a tingling feeling at the back of their minds as they neared each other, a sort of premonition of their imminent confrontation.
