The transition to high school is an anxious yet exciting, time for Young. On the first day of school, he discovers that Night attends the same high school. Young hopes that they can put junior high behind them but as the first week unfolds, Night starts to chant at Young in the hallways. Night challenges Young to a fistfight. Young refuses but after school, a large circle of teens surrounds the pair as they try to leave school, moving them into the centre of the crowd.
Night throws the first punch and misses.
He connects with Nights face. At this point a teacher charges up, the crowd disperses quickly and Young is caught by the teacher. When asked what happened, Young replies that someone blind-sided him and that he does not know who. The next day Night is identified as the other kid and Young is given a two-day suspension for lying and fighting while Night is given a one day suspension for fighting. This is the story of one kid whose parents are not straight.
