It was the biggest school event ever. The worst person I ever knew was fighting the worst person my girlfriend ever knew. The whole school gathered at the fight... except for us. We watched the whole event via someone who was livestreaming the event on their phone.
We were sitting in a cosy corner of an empty classroom, snuggled up together, huddled around her phone, watching these two jerks hammer the snot out of each other.
This fight would go down as a tragedy at our school. Or at least, according to the general consensus. Not least because both parties died as a result of the fight. They killed each other.
I won't say how they killed each other but when they found weapons while they were fighting, we smiled at each other, saying "How did THOSE get there?"
At their funeral, the town hailed them both as "heroes" whose example was to be followed. My girlfriend and I looked at each other and held hands. Someday we'd escape.
