Bad relationships? I've had a few... dozen !!

I'm still a newbie on CS, but I'm feeling comfortable enough to reveal my innermost life secrets. Things that happened in my life that makes me... me.

Remembering Jennifer, I shouldn't say her last name (Smythe) from fifth grade. She was by-far the prettiest girl in my school. We were friends and used to meet after class. Sometimes, when she asked, I would walk her home. Unfortunately, it was in the opposite direction from my house... but that wasn't important.
There were times she would ask me to meet at her house and we would sit under the tree in her yard and kiss. She was a babe!

(Changing the subject slightly, I happened to recognize her many years later at a party and she grew up to look a lot like actress Jane Seymour.)

I always accepted Jennifer's invitations.
One day, while sitting under the tree, a classmate Stephen showed up at her place and that was a total surprise to me. Stephen accused me of stealing HIS girlfriend but I said SHE invited me. He was angry and I got out of there quick!

If you remember the movie The Karate Kid, after Ali started liking Daniel and all the friends of Ali's ex started giving Daniel trouble. Yeah... that's what happened to me. Getting pushed around in the corridor, a foot gets strategically place to trip me, etc.

One day, I get a note passed to me... "Meet me at the bike rack after school to settle this. If you don't show, you are dead."
It sounds like a line from a movie, but (sadly) it was true.

Yeah, I was there and so was Jennifer.
Logic didn't come into play. I had no choice to solve this...
Oh, Jennifer dear... you are a two-timer and didn't get your schedule right.
This could have gone on much longer than it did.
Was she confused which boy was the best for her?
Was my meeting with Stephen intentional?
Questions, questions but no answers, answers.

Stephen and I started to fight. It was a clean fight with no assistance from his friends.
We bashed each others heads at first and ended up wrestling more than swinging fists.
Was it 5 minutes or 25 minutes? I cannot remember.
What I do remember was neither one was a clear winner.
Both tired, we gave up the fight and looking around, Jennifer was gone!
Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Things calmed down between Stephen and me, we actually became friends.
What became of Jennifer?
Not sure... the one time I recognized her at a party was enough for me.
