I got real mad. So I hit him and made his nose bleed. I fought him and fought him," says fifteen-year-old Cherisse.
          "Yeah, she was beating me up bad," Darnell agrees. "So I went to the kitchen and picked up a big knife. I threw it at her. She ducked. There it was, sticking in the wall." (Pg. 17)
