Default I know I know...Car will not start.

Yeah.. I searched and came up with about 150 results looked through about 10 and didnt find the same situation but came close. Which is this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1770172

Ok so this morning i drove to school, car off for about an hour and a half, go back outside and turn the key, NOTHING at all happens, heard a click and the "Maintanence Required Light" was blinking for a few times but does not stay on. Oh yeah i doubt it was the battery because i didnt turn on anything electrical during my drive and the lights could still turn on and my alarm still worked. I also had my oil changed within the last 1,500 miles and distributor cap, spark plugs, little things like that recently. So im totally stumped someone please help. thanks.

Nothing happened, as in it didn't even turn over?

Have you tried pop starting it, if the "click" was it not turning over?

Get it on a hill, or have a couple people push you,
Then put it into first gear while holding down the clutch,
Once you get enough speed, let the clutch out and it should jolt, and try to start.

A lot of people say you use different/higher gears, but I've always used 1st,
And it has always worked fine for me, but you could also use 2nd gear probably.

But anyways, the point of this, would be that if your battery, or starter went,
You could still start your car by manually turning it over,
So if the battery is dead, or the starter just won't crank, this is an alternative method.

It sounds like your starter has a flat spot. You probably need a new starter (or have it rebuilt).

Loose connections to the battery, starter, or grounds.
