Real life event reflection

This story is one for the ages. My roommate wrote this story because it was actually a real life event that could’ve ended worse than the way it did. It occurred the weekend we returned to school after Christmas vacation. What began as an enemy making fiasco later catapulted us to the middle/forefront of the campus society. Almost everyone was at this event. Since my friends and I are easy going nice guys, the world (SJU campus) was in awe that we were the ones who initiated it.

Many people told us that they saw the street filled with people in a ruckus. Several days later, when people realized we were the ones who started it, mixtures of amazement and laughter began. It was amazing how everyone on campus heard about the “brawl that never occurred.” After it was all over, the opposing guys caught us on campus one day asking us for an apology. This time only two of us were present, I and my cousin. We stood up for ourselves and didn’t apologize but rather told them that we were in the wrong as well as themselves that night. Since then, we have a mutual respect for each other. I wouldn’t call it a friendship between the two crews but rather a mutual understanding. This incident was also a wake up call telling us that we shouldn’t hang out in Queens as much as we try to, it’s already a risk living there.
