You need to set up some arrangement with your school staff to help you.
What amazes me.... there are hundreds or even in some cases thousands of kids in a school.... And it is always the same few players getting into trouble and / or fighting.
And you say he started it? You could not have just walked away and avoided it? Too manly for that?
Why have you gotten into this crowd that wants to be in trouble?
Ever hear the saying "live by the sword.... die by the sword"?
You keep up your tough guy act and your gonna get arrested, expelled and look forward to an adult life in Fast Food or probably prison.
*edit
I see you have given everyone a thumbs down... See, you are not going to get anyone to agree with your juvenile mindset. You have a long life ahead of you. So sad to see you have started early to waste it.
Look at all the prisons in this country. Full of tough guys just like you that ain't taking nothing from no one and has to prove they are not afraid. LOL!
Good luck!

You know fights always seem to start just like you said and then someone's friend jumps in and then maybe another and so on. You are VERY lucky that they let you off with a warning. Taking off your belt and using it as a weapon to choke the second guy could very easily be ag. battery or worse. If the guy jumps you and you throw him off and stop, that is self defense. Continuing to fight is not self defense.
You do not have the right to hit someone without their consent ever. It may be a defense to a charge that you were defending yourself. However, if you do more than repel the attacker, you go beyond self defense.
I understand that you don't want people to think you are afraid. That would make you a target for others and would just not sit well with your own image of yourself. However, you will have to make a choice and a hard one. Is it more important to be a man or to stay out of jail? Unless you wish to make prisoner a career, you had better let your pride suffer a bit.
Here is a bit of info. Life does not end when you graduate or leave school. You will be a teen ager when you get out of school. What will you be when you are 40? Dead? Uneducated working in a no where job? Maybe you have some talent and might get lucky and make a living based on that. More likely you are like the rest of us and will have to be smart to make a living.
We (old people) all remember being in school with the guy that wants a fight. Sometimes you have to make a stand and fight back. You did that. Now you have to make a different choice and as I said a hard one. It seems that you are faced with a life changing decision at a young age. Make a good one.

What you have to do is a lot tougher than fighting. You are going to have to change the way you react to everything, and maybe even the way you think. It takes a lot more bravery to not fight, particularly if they start it. Try to stick around authority types, so that someone will be able to report that you didn't start anything.
You might be able to talk to the principle, or one of the security people, and they might have some ideas about how to avoid the people who want to fight you.
This is important, so be serious about not getting into more trouble.

There are only two places where tough guys are, jail and dead. Do you want to be a tough guy? If you do, get ready to be in jail for the rest of your life or dead. You assaulted that kid with a deadly weapon. That is very serious. Next time keep your head out of your *** and walk away. It takes more balls to turn your back and walk away then it does to fight someone.
EDIT, I see that another question you asked, you asked about college. This is very good. colleges do look at disciplinary issues, so try to enroll in some counseling, or anger management. (not saying you need it or not, but it looks good to counteract the fighting. )

You avoid fighting if possible, only use as much force as necessary if you must fight, and end the fight as quickly as possible. As much as some folks want to think we can all just get along, there are some misfits out there who will always refuse. If they've decided to make you a target you may just have to lay a beating on them from time to time. Don't be intimidated by the threat of dealing with the law IF you are not at fault.

What can you do?
Grow up - life isn't about fighting to prove how tough you are. If it were, then the world would be one hostle place.
You know you can beat them - that should be enough. Who cares what other people think? Only the shallow, insecure people care what everyone else thinks, and not about how they see themselves.
With your current mentality, you will be in a courtroom. But if you decide to grow up and be an adult about things, then you will be a lot happier.

Cool - just be prepared to go to court. I hope you look good in an orange jumpsuit because that is going to be your wardrobe for most of your life if you don't get help.
I suggest asking the principal for help in controlling your anger and learning how to stay out of fights. I am sure s/he can do that for you in a heartbeat, and your life will be much better in the long run.

Walk away. They know you aren't scared for goodness sakes.
Be a man and walk away from a stupid revenge fight. If you allow them to draw you into another fight, regardless of who gets the best of who - you lose because you have allowed them to push your buttons into getting yourself into trouble - which is probably what they want to happen.

I have managed to go my whole life without getting in trouble for fighting someone. What do you suppose I have that you don't?

drop out of school and become a science fiction crime novelist,, from the sound of that story youve already got a good start.
