This is a throwaway account cuz my besties know my main account. 

I (16F) have been dating my pookie “Henry”(16M) for three weeks. Henry has an ex-gf, let’s call her Olivia. I don’t know much about Olivia. Henry only mentioned her once. We were having a random convo, and the topic of exes came up. When I told him I had no exes, he pulled out his phone and showed me a pic of Olivia on Insta. He said, this is my ex-gf, stay away from her cuz she’s a crazy bitch. I didn’t ask him for more details cuz the topic of exes is awkward asf for me. That was last week. So far, our relationship is wonderful. We talk about the most random shit, we listen to each other, we cuddle, and we even fucked once. Olivia is in my AP Biology class. She’s never spoken to me, but I do catch her staring at me in the hallways whenever I hold hands with my pookie. 

Yesterday, I was sitting with Henry during lunch like usual. I left the cafeteria cuz I had to use the bathroom. There was a long ass line for the bathroom. After maybe 10+ minutes, I entered the cafeteria. I saw Olivia talking to Henry. Her eyes were red and she was holding a can of pepsi. I didn’t feel jealous or threatened, I was just surprised. She was loud and was saying some shit about how she was going through hell. Henry was trying to speak but she kept interrupting him. I had no fucking clue about what was going on. I decided that this shit was none of my business cuz it was between them. I planned to sit at a random table, wait for Olivia to stop yapping, and then go back to sitting with Henry. I was about to go to a random table, but then I heard Olivia say you can’t just replace me with some ugly bitch. In my head, I was like oh hell nah, this bitch did not just insult me. I practically ran towards her and said what the fuck did you just call me. She gave me a look and straight up walked away. I followed her. I didn’t wanna throw fists. All I wanted was to have a fucking conversation. Henry walked behind me and was saying babe let’s just chill. But I was too pissed at Olivia to pay attention to him. I said why the fuck are you insulting me. Olivia didn’t answer. She kept walking. I do admit that I might’ve gotten a bit too close to her. I then said, answer my fucking question, you dumb bitch. She turned around and threw her pepsi at me. The pepsi spilled all over my shirt. Without thinking, I punched her. My fist hit her nose. She was stunned for a moment but then shoved me to the ground. I grabbed her leg and pulled her down with me. Security guards literally came outta nowhere and separated us. Olivia was taken to the nurse’s office for her bloody nose. I was pulled towards the principal’s office and had to give my statement to the principal. I didn’t lie or sugarcoat anything. After I was done yapping, the principal gave me a lecture about solving conflicts peacefully. My mom was called in and I was given a one-week suspension. The principal said that if I instigated another fight, he would have no choice but to expel me. 

When my mom and I got home, my mom lost her shit. She gave me a 30-minute lecture about controlling myself and said that I’d end up in prison just like my dad if I don’t control myself. She also ranted about how being a single mom was already hard. I didn’t argue with her cuz I knew better than to argue with my mom. I honestly have mixed feelings about the situation. I think that Olivia deserved to get punched cuz she threw a pepsi at me but at the same time, I regret punching her cuz a suspension doesn’t look good on my record. I’ve never gotten into a physical fight before. My besties in the group chat said that I slayed. My pookie thinks that Olivia getting punched was satisfying. My mom is also threatening to send me to therapy. I’m pissed about that cuz I don’t fucking need it. I don’t have any mental disorder. I decided to make this post cuz I want to hear the opinions of people who aren’t personally connected to me.
