UGGGHH

Soooo there is lots of drama + tea. I was in the hallway walking from lunch and my friend, let's call her Garlic, ran up behind me and yelled "SILLIBILLY1 (thats their name on kandipad so thats what im calling them) ILL GRAB VV (thats my name on kandipad so thats what ill call myself) AND YOU GET HER" and Garlic grabbed the back of my hood and it started choking me. Sillybilly1 then ran up in my face and started screaming but they weren't saying words they were just like yelling and it was literally right in my face. I got so friking scared and i put my hands around their neck (I didn't choke them or press hard or anything I just like placed them around their neck) and I let go like a second later cuz I reacted out of shock and fear and I realized what I was doing. They then started slapping and hitting me and Garlic had to step in between us to get them to stop. Garlic apologized tho so im not mad at her, she didn't know she was choking me. Now Sillybilly1 is spreading rumors about me saying that I just choked them for no reason and that I put my entire arm around them, but that isnt true. They've been saying that they did nothing wrong and that i was the bad guy. Unlike them im not going to say that i did nothing wrong, I did put my hands around their neck. But they are denying that they did anything at all. Now they're telling the story wrong and trying to be the victim. If you hear any other variation of the story (especially from them) please do not believe it because I really dont want people to believe the wrong thing. I know that what I did was wrong and nice regret it, but they need to accept that they did wrong things too. Also please dont hate on me or them in the comments although the whole situation is bad (also that pic is a little bonus pic of my dog Luna) Update: They reported me to the counselors and I went to the assistant principles office. He asked me to tell him what happened and I told the truth We reviewed the security camera and he was like "your story makes sense but Sillbilly1's story isnt matching the footage. He got kind of angry at Sillybilly1 for not telling the truth and he told me that next time instead of pushing them away that I could back up away from them, but he said he also understands that what was happening was scary for me. He let me go and on my way out I heard him yelling at Garlic...I fell really bad for her and I told the assistant principal multiple times that she apologized already. Now I think Sillybilly1 is mad at me for not getting in trouble about it, but I don't mind. It WAS her that decided to tell him lies tho...
