Chapter 4 - Forknado

Let's be clear:

He knew he shouldn't fight a girl.

He wasn't raised like that.

Mama always said, "Don't put your hands on no woman."

But listen—

nobody slaps him in the face.

Not in front of his classmates.

Not with that "pow!" that echoed like a church bell on Sunday.

So yeah, she was gonna pay.

It wasn't about revenge.

It was about principle.

And his pride was on life support.

3:45 PM. The Playground.

Population: Every nosy kid in the school.

They gathered like it was a sold-out concert.

Some climbed on monkey bars.

Others had snacks—cheetos, juice boxes, even a Lunchables dealer.

You'd think a celebrity was about to perform.

But no.

This was better.

This was war.

He stepped into the ring like a gladiator.

Hoodie up.

Eyes locked.

Chewing gum like it was the last piece on Earth.

Then the crowd parted.

She appeared.

Ponytail swinging.

Backpack tossed to the side.

Wearing one sock higher than the other.

Holding…

a bright yellow plastic fork.

The crowd gasped.

"SHE GOT THE SPORK!"

"No bro, that's a F-O-R-K. That's cafeteria certified!"

"Y'all better record this, it's history!"

She twirled it like a ninja blade.

Eyes cold.

He blinked.

"A fork? Really?"

"You disrespected me," she said, calm like a villain.

"Now you get the poke."

Before he could even process the line—

SHE LEAPED.

Like a wild squirrel.

Full Naruto mode.

Fork in hand.

Straight up launched over him like she trained with the Power Rangers.

He ducked.

The crowd:

"OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

The fork grazed his hoodie.

He rolled.

She landed like a gymnast.

10/10 stick.

Then—the principal appeared.

Out of nowhere.

Like he'd been hiding in the bushes the whole time.

"ENOUGH!!"

His voice shook the playground.

Even the birds paused mid-flight.

He stormed into the circle like a boss in level 99 armor.

Snatched them both by the collar like two busted Powerpuff villains.

"To the office. Now. You two are done for the day."

The crowd dispersed like roaches.

Kids yelling, laughing, quoting lines.

Someone yelled:

"Best fight of the year!"

In the principal's office…

They sat side-by-side.

Still breathing hard.

Still giving each other side-eyes.

The principal slammed his hands on the desk.

"What were you thinking? A plastic fork?"

She shrugged.

"It's all I had."

He looked at the boy.

"And you let her jump over you?"

"What was I supposed to do? Hit her with a tray?"

The principal sighed so hard it shook the window blinds.

"Both of you. Write me a full-page apology…

and no recess for a week."

They groaned in sync.

But as they walked out,

he looked at her and muttered:

"You lucky I didn't bring the spoon."

She smirked.

"I was gonna bring a knife… but it's math test day."

And just like that—

the legend of the Fork Fight was born.

They didn't win the fight.

They didn't lose it either.

But they owned the story forever.

Back home he didn't tell no parents about his fight just brothers just joke between brothers

It's was a cool night you know it was Friday
