I'll keep it brief, for my memory of this event is relatively vague.
Begin Transmission.
DOCUMENTATION:
>Undocumented day in seventh grade
>We all line up in lunch line
>Standing behind notorious troublemaker Ninian Fisher
>Mr. Fisher yelling at his friends further back in line, "FIVE MINUTES" repeatedly
>Feeling of dread
>Get reasonably tasty foodstuffs
>Sit down at table with friends
>Teachers and administrators (more than usual) stationed around cafeteria
>Tension is... palpable
>Around five to ten minutes into lunch
>Table of ditsy girls at 10 o'clock
>All six girls simultaneously toss trays into air
>IT BEGINS
>Food flying everywhere
>Girl who would become my girlfriend covered with marinara sauce
>Teachers attempt to intervene, to little avail
>Eventually, teachers have students lined up
>Walk chain-gang style out of the lunchroom
>No chains, don't worry
>Stand in line outside lunchroom for what seems to be 15-20 minutes
>Bell rings, class resumes
AFTER ACTION REPORT:
>Students hit: Unknown
>Destruction level: High
>Chaos level: Medium
>Awesomeness: Relative

RETALIATION:
>Six girls who started the fight, as well as "notable participants", suspended
>Lunchroom-wide applause each day for a few weeks after the battle, at the exact time of the fight's start
>Day ultimately goes down in history and is still discussed even at the end of my sophomore year
