    Default Charged for Simple Assault

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Dakota
    I was charged for Simple assault last year. We had a dance in our school and my room mate and i went to the dance. When we got there, i started playing pool with some friends. There is this girl who is a friend of mine who came to me and asked why i am not dancing. I told her i am having fun playing pool, she came for the second time and asked what i did all day i told her i was in my room then the third time she came to inform me that there is a guy who told her not to talk to me. Then i told her, "if he doesn't want you to talk to me it means you two have something together" while we were talking, this guy came and she walked away.
    Then there is this other girl who came to me and told me that the girl who came and talked to me three times in a less than an hour doesn't want to talk to me. Since it was my turn to play, i held her hand and told her that if that girl doesn't want to talk to she wouldn't have come to me in the first place. When we were done talking as i turned to start playing pool, that girl's friend came from no where and gave me a punch on my face. Luckily our Resident Director was there. I held her hand to prevent anything from happening. While i was talking to the RA, she gave me a second punch.
    My friends and the security came over and she was forced to leave tha dance floor. I left the hall to go back to my room and sleep. While walking back to my room, my room mate and another friend came and accompanied me to my room.
    Now i have been charged for Simple Assault and i don't know what to do. I haven't had any criminal issues before. I am not a trouble maker. I don't have my family here in the USA.Can any person guide me through this?
    Thank you in Advance.

    I suggest getting help from a criminal defense lawyer.

    All three of you were charged? You, because you held onto the girl's hand when she didn't want you to, and the girl and her friend for hitting you? Or what?
