yogurt tastes better eaten off the floor : Mario Thompson

My most memorable experience from high school would have to be the food fight we had senior year. I remember this most because it was the first time I had actually seen a real food fight. Everyone was talking about it weeks before it happened, but I thought they were all talk. So when the day finally came there was a lot of tension. The whole lunch period went by without anybody throwing any food so I thought it wasn’t going to happen. I was WRONG. Just before the bell rang a kid named Hamza threw a bowl of soup at one of the deans, and after that all hell broke loose. Everybody got up and started throwing food and drinks everywhere! I was kind of a pretty boy in high school (still kinda am) and I didn’t want to get my clothes or shoes dirty so I hid in the corner and hoped nobody noticed me. While sitting in the corner I watched people climb on tables, run across the lunch room, and flip trash cans. It was seriously some of the most exciting shit I’ve ever watched. It took about five minutes for security and the teachers to make everyone stop; honestly they weren’t the reason it stopped, everyone just ran out of food to throw. When it was over the lunch room looked like the inside of a garbage disposal at a fast food restaurant. The WHOLE floor was covered in scraps of food. Everyone who was in our lunch period had to go through the rest of the day covered in food but nobody really cared because… well you know why. I was just thankful that I didn’t get hit with anything, and that I got to see the whole thing.
