I got into a fight in school an made the kids face swell bad from 3 hits because he had my bag?

an my stuff was missing, Its the first time i got into a fight in school, an it was very quick, an now i m getting assault charges, Is there possibility of alternative punishment such as diversion or community service, He had to go to the ER because if his face? it was stupid an i regret it, Never had assault charges, jus mista meter behavior charges with anger but those cases are closes
