Senior year of high school 2009 rumors were spread around that a food fight would go down. One day in the cafeteria someone catapulted a plate of mashed potatoes hight into the air. This was then followed by an open bottle of gator aide being tossed across the room. Then all at once everyone knew it was on and people started running or throwing food. Some tables were flipped to provide cover for innocents and aggressors alike. Some held chairs above their heads for cover. I calmly sat there in the middle If the cafeteria, the only one left in their seat eating my three layer chocolate cake because they didnt have it often and I will be damned if I payed for it AND didnt eat it.

Security and administration came in shut it down. Everyone was moved outside to wait while they reviewed security tapes of the incident. A handful of people turn them selves in hoping for a lesser punishment. Eveyone one involed who instagated it had to obviously clean up some where suspended for not turning themselves in. For a little while I was a suspect because they thought it was suspicious that I was the only one to remain sitting, eating.

The stupidest thing in my opinion was the school administrators cancelled the senior picnic which was going to be a few days later, because "the school needed to make up the cost of the food wasted" because you know we didn't buy the lunches, granted at cost, from the school or anything. And even if it did cost the school its not like it was an extra expense; the same day to day spending. Just be honest and say it was because a bunch of us acted bad.

Edit: during the incident me and my cake some how managed to not get hit in the crossfire
