The song "Class Fight", like the rest of Melanie Martinez's critically acclaimed "K-12" album, is placed in a school setting. More specifically to the narrative contained on this track, the singer finds herself in love with a boy who is already involved with someone else. Thus Melanie becomes "jelly", which is a slang word for jealous.
She is confused about the matter and accordingly consults her parents for advice. And basically they tell her not to give up. Indeed Martinez's father takes it a step further by even encouraging her to "go for the throat". Thus she goes about dealing with the situation by attacking this girl and beating her bloody. This is obviously where the titular "class fight" came from.
However, things do not materialize as idealized. Melanie fails to achieve her goal. And why? Simply because her "one true love", i.e. the boy Melanie is infatuated with who is the girl's boyfriend, now considers Martinez to be "a monster". But at the end of the day, it seems as if she has derived a sense of satisfaction from thrashing her rival in this love triangle.
