Cause/Effect

In my high school days, most my friends and I thought we were tough guys and we would get into a lot of fights. The one fight that sticks out to me most was when we fought most of the Jocks at our school, Weber High. The main thing that started the brawl was when this random kid came and swung on my friend Tyler in the commons area. The kid missed Tyler when he swung so nothing happened that day and we didnt think anything would pop up after.
The next day I remember all the Jocks were angry about their friend swinging on us but their anger wasn't towards their friend, for some reason their anger was towards us. After second period I remember walking through the halls and everyone was asking us what happened and everyone was asking where the fight was going to happen at. All my friends laughed about it because we had no clue what was going on till lunch time. The kid and some Jocks came up to us and told us they want to finish what we started, we laughed at them because we didn't start anything. Because we laughed, they got more mad and told us we needed to meet up at Ben Lomond Park right after school.
After school we went to the park, as we drove into the park I remember seeing girls with slurpees, and a bunch of sophomore kids hanging out and running around, i felt like we were coming to a high school event not a fight! We got out of our cars (we had 3 cars full) and right off the bat, Tyler and the kid who swung on him at the school started fighting. Everyone was crowded around them but then all of a sudden this other kid came and swung on my friend Jakob. That one kid started the whole brawl off, I remember looking at how many people were fighting my friends and I remember the ratio being about 7 Jock to 1 of my friends. Even though we were definitely the underdogs, we still did a lot better than I thought we would ever do. That fight lasted maybe 4 minutes until the cops showed up, I felt like it was 4 hours though.
The cause/effect of the fight was that after, the Jocks started having respect for us because they knew that we wouldn't back down. After that fight happened, some of the jocks actually came to a couple other fights we were in and they helped us out.
