I'm with Perkins. I thought it was a faked fight -- like being faked by the characters. I was surprised to see any blood was drawn, anything bad enough to require bandaging.
It looked like slapstick to me, not angry athletic teenagers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And now I bow to the expert and just go with "what ita said".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fair enough. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the fight, I just remember it being kind of amateurish.

I hope it's a funny aneurysm!
I thought it was a nod to the lame Colin Firth/Hugh Grant fights from the Bridget Jones' Diary movies, given the Pride & Prejudice references.

Except, I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It was a really badly staged fight.

Strawberry disappointment.
Looked like a totally bog standard crap fight betwen two people who don't know how to fight. Completely realistic as far as I was concerend.

I can't believe Logan doesn't know how to fight though. I can't see any son of Aaron Echolls not being able to, and we know Logan has gotten into fights.

I just wanked that their hearts weren't into it. Deep down they don't want to hate each other. When two friends fight it tends to be more about the principle than about drawing blood.

But blood was drawn, somehow. The aftermath looked like that of a better/harder fight.

Art Crawl!!!
I don't know why they felt that they had to have the conversation in the nurse's office.
They could have had it just as well while waiting to see the principal -- and I agree, that it didn't make sense that either had drawn blood.
Unless it was from punching the wall.
