I don't really have a rival that I fight against or anything like that, but in a general sense, I did have a rival back in 5th grade; we were competitive with our brains, not our fists. Cordell, my former rival, came into my school in the 5th grade. I was one of the smartest kids in that entire school, but then Cordell came along and we battled to see who was the better student. My "A" had to be higher than his. My vocabulary had to trump his. But, in the end, we never settled who was better. I never saw him again, actually.
