Anthony, or Ant as most called him, was in his third year at Morningside High. Like any other student there, he was just biding his time until he could get out of school and live his life. He didn’t have a set plan for after high school, but he knew it must be better than what happened at Morningside. Like every day at lunch, Ant was sitting with his friends at the center table. All of his friends were black, which was typical in his community. That was the way it was in Inglewood, people stuck together. There were generally two groups: the blacks, and the Hispanics. Ant didn’t necessarily hate other races, but all of his friends seemed to so he had no choice but to go along with the pressure. So, a fight was started between the two groups, he had no choice but to get involved, and that was precisely what was about to happen. A new student, from Mexico, was nervously making his way across the cafeteria when he accidentally stepped on Ant’s friend, Jamal’s, shoe.
“Watch where you’re going, b*tch!” Jamal yelled as he struck the terrified new student. Within half a second, Hispanic students across the cafeteria jumped up, ready for action, for they too felt a loyalty to stick together, and fight together. As soon as the Hispanic students jumped to their feet, the black students leapt up as well, and within seconds the cafeteria was filled with hundreds of students ready to fight at a moments notice. One of the larger Hispanic students came up and hit Jamal in the back of the head with a cafeteria tray. In an instant, the entire cafeteria erupted into a giant brawl. Black students attacked Hispanic students, whether or not they were involved in the incident at all, and Hispanic students did likewise. Ant had no choice but to jump in and tackle the kid who hit Jamal.
