[Serious] what is the most terrifying thing to happen to you in a well lit and populated place?

Friend 1 and myself went to pick up Friend 2 who went to a different high school. We sat in the parking lot of the school as all the students started to come out. Friend 1 got on his Razor scooter and started doing laps around the parking lot.

I see friend 2 walking towards me when someone punches the back of my head. I fall down in pain and a bunch of other dudes come up and start kicking me. Friend 2 runs up and tries to get them off of me but gets punched in the jaw by one of the dudes kicking me.

I try to look for friend 1 and shout for help when I see him on the ground getting beat down with his own razor scooter. When it seems like friend 1 wasn't fighting back, the guy beating him down takes the razor scooter and starts doing laps around the other guys who were kicking me.

It felt like I was getting beat up for minutes but it was probably less than that before the school security and other faculty members stopped it. The guys who were beating me down ran off into the neighborhood.

My friends and I get brought into the school office and wait for the police to arrive. Friend 1 had a concussion and kept asking me where we were and how he got there every few minutes.

The principal of the school then proceeded to say that friend 1 and I were going to get suspended from our high school because we were trespassing on another school. I was livid. My friend was having trouble understanding where he was and he was going to get in trouble for it because some guys decided to jump us.

Weeks later I find out that we were jumped because we were wearing white jackets which was the colors that belonged to a rival gang of the guys that jumped us.
