I am going to start boxing in the next couple of days at a local gym. I'm 13 years old, 5 foot 5 inches, 128 pounds. Im not in perfect condition, but have the heart to do whatever it takes to succeed. How long should it take before I have my first actual fight? Also do I need to bring anything with me the first time? Final question, at 128 (but I'll probably get below 120, maybe even 115 that by the time of my first fight) what weight class would I be fighting at?

Depends on how fast you progress and what your gym intends for you to do. You'll have to spar before anything gets set up for you in amateurs. The fights aren't the big thing, improving is what you need to focus on first and foremost. It's gonna get repetitive and boring. Try to find ways to make training different every once in a while.
Also, try to run outside instead of on a treadmill. I hate running period, but at least I know I'm going somewhere when I'm outside.
