Breaking Stereotypes

Part 4: Never Hit First

I actually knew how to fight so I punched him right in the jaw.

He fell back onto the lockers and I continued hitting him.

"What the fuck Riley?" He yelled.

His nose was bleeding and I'm pretty sure I gave him two black eyes. And a broken nose.

I felt Mad pull me off of him.

"Blake! Think twice before you hit a fucking girl. Oh and next time, don't start a fight unless your gonna win!" I yelled as I got dragged off by Max and Jessica.

"What the fuck was that?" Asked Max after he pulled me into the janitors closet.

I was to pissed to answer so Jessica answered for me. "He dad thought her to fight."

I looked at Max and said "I can't believe he hit me."

"Yeah me either. But you where savage Riley." He said.

"Fuck yeah!" Said Jessica.

We went back to class when I got called over the loud speaker.

"Will Riley Smith please report to the office."

Everyone in the class went "ohhhhhh"

"That's enough class. Go along now Riley." Said my English teacher.

I went to the office and saw Blake sitting there with the principal. He had black eye already forming and a clearly broken nose.

I smirked at my damage.

"Is this funny Ms. Smith?" The principal who I never learnt the name of asked me.

"Uh.. no Sir." I said back.

"Care to explain?" He said.

"Yes. I was raised properly and was taught 1, never hit first, and 2, a boy should never hit a girl."

Principal Man raised his eyebrows for me to continue.

"So at football practice yesterday he got me hurt purposely because I apparently stole his position. My best friend Max was mad. So he came and was holding him against the lockers. I pulled Max off of him and go really close to Blake. I told him not to get me hurt again and not to be mad cause he was being schooled by a girl at football. Then he shoved me 2 times. So I did that." I said gesturing to his face.

"Well, is that true Blake?" He asked.

"No sir. She just attacked me." He said.

"That's bull!" I yelled.

"Well, we'll watch the security tape." He said.

I smirked at Blake. His eyes widened.

After about 10 minutes he said "well it does appear Blake, you started it AND hit a girl. 3 day suspension. Riley, you continued to fight. 3 day detention."

I shrugged and said "Fair. Thanks sir." Then I stood up and walked out.

I got to my next class that I had with Jessica and Max. I told them everything.

After school I ran to detention.

When it was over I sprinted to the girls locker room and got on my equipment hoping I get there in time for practice.

When I got there the boys where already warming up. I ran to coach and said "I am so sorry! I got in a fight and got detention and." He cut me off and said "I heard, it's fine go warm up."

"Thanks coach." I said running to the team.

As I was running he said "he deserved it Riley." I smiled at his comment and started warming up.

Blake wasn't here today. Ha. Sucker. I would've played with a broken nose. That's nothing.

Practice started with swim drills then we split into offence and defence. Coach gave me a wristband with the plays on it and I got really excited to start. This would be fun.

Our first game wad coming up so we practiced every play till it was perfect. Then we did a scrimmage. It went good this time... everyone actually blocked.

After we did a run practice was over. I wasn't as banged up, but I was sore. I got home, showered, and went right to bed.
