School fightsI don't remember much of the fight - it'd been building for weeks, petty things, knocking over my stuff, calling names - but it didn't last long... He hit me, I hit him, then *whack* he connected with my jaw and it all went black.
Coming round, surrounded by some friends, it was apparently "really cool". All I know is my head hurt. A lot.
Tell us about the legendary fights at school.

Not me but a friend of mine...had been on the receiving end of nine years worth of insufferable bullying. Said bully went to the same junior school, then the same high school as his victims, my friend David and I (we were both puny saps back then, hence we both just soaked it all up).
Anyway, come the end of year 11, and, thank God, we're almost out of school. David decides he can't leave that place without some sort of payback. I mean what did he have to lose? I find out that he had been planning this for the past year, doing some weight lifting at home, becoming stronger, and reading all sorts of things about fighting on the internet (but never actually actively learning any moves). I was pretty skeptical... neither of us had ever been in, let alone won, a fight. So it was all in theory.
3 days before the exams start. Science lesson and the teacher goes out supposedly to get a message to a colleague (although I reckon he just wanted a fag). Bully, who sits at the back of the class, throws a pencil at David, which falls to the floor and breaks. "You broke my pencil!" he shouts upon picking it back up. Just then David swung around, performing a perfect bicycle kick to his jaw. At least that's what I half expected. But nothing. He just sits there. Bully sits back down.
Fast forward 3 days. Both of us walking to school for Science exam. Bully comes up to David. "Oy, you got a pencil I can borrow?" This time, David really DID take a swing at him. A little off target, just hitting the side of his head, but he quickly made up for this sloppiness by grabbing his hair at the back and, pulling back slightly to charge up, he slams his face into the nearby brick wall. 4 times. Bully's nose broke, and he staggered about a bit as the two of us legged it. He was too proud to admit what really happened, so everybody, including his parents, still believe he broke his nose "because he fell off his bike while going down Warden Hill". The Warden Hill part wasn't really necessary, but he thought it made him look harder.
He managed to get to one of his exams, so David went up to him and offered him a spare pencil. He declined.
