Before I start, I'd like to point out that what I'm writing is based on true events, which happened today (9th February) at my School/College. It has racial content, but in no way praises racism. In no way is this piece of writing exaggerated, I'm going to write it exactly how it happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Kick Off
The bell echoed throughout the school for break, a sign of 20 minute freedom for all students. One by one they piled out of doors across the school, to be welcomed by a white blanket of snow, or in their eyes, a white blanket of ammunition. A war ground for havoc to break loose. Students of all ages gather in seperate groups for the obvious snowball fight about to erupt.
At first it is harmless fun; girls screaming in terror of being hit, boys showing their male dominance on the fields. Then, as the fun endured, the Asian minority appear, looking to prey upon the Whites, who easily outnumber them. Snowballs were exchanged between the two groups, with no hatred intended (yet) and the Asian's slowly started to retreat, due to lack in numbers, and edged their way around the Whites.
At this point the tension could be cut with a knife; The adrenaline is pumping, the best drug there is, you can't buy the rush it gives you. There are predominantly now only two groups congregated on the field; The Whites and the Asians. What was a mindless act of fun, is now an act of serious content, and the field is a battlefield, hungry for blood. The Asian's try to plant fear in the Whites by charging, throwing ferociously, yet the White's stand their ground and return a flurry of snowballs to their opponents.
From that one charge, a fight occurs, a White has speared an Asian to the ground and effortlessly punched him in the face repeatedly until the scarlet substance is flowing down his face. The rest of the Asian's are severely angered by this and show no fear through lack of numbers, and steam in on the White's. Punches and kicks are being thrown in all directions as the tangled mass of bodys could be described as a riot by onlookers. One brave teacher attempts to stop the violence, however is cut short as he too recieves blows to the face by both groups. As the groups disperse exchanging racist comments , the Asian's are backed up against a wall. The only escape is through the White's. With one cry from the White's they charged in fearlessly and crush the Asian's against the wall. One boy is being repeatedly kicked and punched in the head. More teachers arrive to the scene and quickly run in to segregate the opposing groups, making sure they grab the ring leaders and drag them away from starting further trouble.
After the eruption of violence each set of lads grudgingly return to their lessons most of them still pumped for more action. Many are now being excluded or expelled for their actions. Now there are rumours of knifes being brought in, scores to settle and an almost guarantee of fresh violence to enter the school.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoyed this piece I've written for you. Like I said it was based on the events of today, and seen from my personal point of view. When I mention Asian's I mean ones originating from Pakistan, not Chinese/Japanese ect. I was involved, however I don't think I've been caught up in anything serious, if I had of been caught by teachers, I would be expelled, as I'm in the college at the school, and shouldn't of even been a part of it. As far as what is going to happen in the oncoming weeks I don't know, but I'm pretty certain it will 'kick off' again. It is the second time in 5 years a serious racist riot has occured.
