My First Real Fight


Many people have had their share of fights, some lots and some won. I remember my first fight like yesterday. I was in fifth grade and the girl I had a fight with was supposed to be my friend. I had recently been going to Overton Elementary; she attended the school down the street from our building. When I first got to the school, we weren’t put in the same class. After 3 months into the school year, people started coming up to me saying Kiara wanted to fight me; I didn’t understand but wasn’t about to back down from a fight. The day of the fight, I had just got out of school and was walking home with my sisters and cousin. Kiara was walking up to me with her big sister and 3 of her friends. She yelled for me to wait; when she got up to me one of her friends pushed my little sister down, I turned around to see what happened and when I turned back around she punched me in the eye. The fight was crazy and quick; all I remember was her punching me and me getting a black eye. I did scratch her face up pretty bad. I still don’t know why she wanted to fight me, I guess she was jealous because I looked tons better then her, and the boy she liked wanted to go with me. After that fight I tried to be ready for my next.
