That one fight

Halloween Night, walking with my sister after our fights…

Izla-Sister:

Another day of school another day of torture. Waiting in line for my turn during gym to throw the basketball just sitting there picking my nails “Hay what do you think you're doing!” I turn around seeing a boy at least a foot taller than me yelling in my ear “What do you want now?” I say annoyed “Go to the back of the line where you belong, like Rosa Parks!” he says to me smiling I feel the heat rise into my face. “You better take that back,” I say slowly calming down “Why what are you gonna do You're just a black girl,” they say “This-” I swing my fist into his face and feel the pain in my knuckles. I retreat my fist and punch him again this time harder as I pull away. I shake my hand from the pain, “How's that for a black girl?” I say watching him holding his nose I stand tall not reatreating and watching blood drip from in between his fingers I smile and turn away. Seeing a crowd as I walk towards them, they let me through.

Landon-Brother:

Walking with my sister it was Halloween night and we walked for about an hour going house to house I stayed at the end of the driveway and she went up to the house. As we walk to our next house I see a group of kids I ignore them thinking it's just a bunch of idiots. As we walk by they yell to Izla “Hay is that your boyfriend!” I felt like I was going to throw up I spun around seeing It was Lyla, guess I was right it was a bunch of idiots. “I'm her brother idiot,” I say back to them then continue to walk with Izla They start to laugh and I roll my eyes “Wait, [Deadname]?” I stop and so does Izla “Oh my god it is you!” I hear them all start to laugh historically I turn around and walk up to them “My name is Landon” They look at each other yea well you’ll always be a GIRL I flinch “Do you want me to punch you in the face?” I say to them they smile and look at each other not believing I'd do it “I said do you want me to punch you in the face!” They go silent as I walk away. They start to laugh again I turn around instantly “DO YOU WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE!” I yell at them they stop and the girls hide behind their “boyfriends” I step forward as one of the taller boys steps up “Sure try me! Shorty” I lift my fists to my face and get into a fighting stance “Bet,” I say as they throw a punch I dodge. I go lower and then jump while my fist hits their jaw, they wince in pain and retreat I stand up tall “Anybody else!” I say spreading my arms out. “No? Good that's what I thought” I say as my sister pulls me away “Ok let's go, Assholes are always assholes” she says as she drags me away, and the group walks in the other direction.

I say that's a victory for us both
