Am i wrong for slapping a kids sandwhich out of his hands?
Today I was slapped across the face at school full force by a boy. I am a 17-year-old girl and just started my senior year of high school today during lunch. I was hanging out where I always do with my friends and was sitting at the bottom of a staircase. We always sit in the same exact spot and a group of boys (some sophmores and juniors) also happens to always be at the same spot as well, but on the top of the staircase instead. This location on campus is sort of secluded and hidden from the cameras because we like to smoke during break and lunch. Everyone who hangs out there is like one big friend group made up of like 20 people. Not everyone knows everyone else, but everyone there knows at least a few others there. Well today there’s one individual boy I don’t even know his name or who he is, but he is notorious for throwing things during lunch. Last year he threw a tennis ball at my friends face who is also a girl, he does all this shit on purpose, but ONLY every does it to girls. Anyways, today I was sitting at the bottom of the staircase during lunch as usual, and he was at the top. I was talking to my friend and randomly there are mustard packets starting to be thrown at me. About three or four hit me until I finally get up and say something. I walk up the stairs a bit and say, “why are you throwing shit at me???what’s your issue? like are we serious?”
He mocks me and starts laughing with his friends and says “I didn’t throw shit at you.”
I look at the ground next to him and there is a giant pile of mustard packets on the floor. I look at him and say “are you serious? There’s literally a giant pile of mustard packets right next to you. What do you mean you didn’t throw it? if you’re not the one throwing it you’re obviously letting your friends throw them at me like, what is your issue?”
He laughs again and continues talking shit so I flipped his sandwich out of his hands. the sandwich falls onto the floor, before he even takes a bite of it, and gets mustard all over his supposedly new white shirt. He ends up standing up and open handedly and full forced slapped me across the face in front of everyone as hard as he could. I looked right back up at him, in shock, as he’s walking backwards away from me. I didn’t fall over or anything, but I walk up the stairs so that if he does hit me again, I won’t fall down them completely. I yell out, “are you fucking serious? Did you really just hit me right now? you’re the one throwing shit at me you’re a fucking weirdo.”
He looks over at his friends and is saying that I’m lucky he doesn’t hit me again. I tell him do it and I drop my backpack ready to fight. He continues still walking backwards as I step up towards him again, so I retreat and grabbed my backpack off the ground, still calling him a weirdo and a pussy. I just walked back down the stairs, my friends still at the bottom, watching the whole thing.
The security guard ended up coming down. I think he saw us on the cameras, but the location we were at on school grounds is slightly blocked off, so I’m not sure if he saw the boy actually hit me or not. I tell the security guard that he was throwing mustard packets at me, and so I hit his sandwich out of his hands, and the security guard immediately starts scolding the boy. the boy is saying how he didn’t throw the mustard, but the security guard is telling him that even if his friends did throw it, he’s the one who brought all the mustard packets down in the first place, so he shouldn’t be letting them take them and throw them at people. I agree with the security guard 100% I don’t know what I should do. I didn’t tell the security guard that he hit me. What actions do you think I should take next? Do you think im in the wrong?
