I wasn't a delinquent by choice... I came from a broken family which led me to being a delinquent. Every time someone pisses me off, I pick fights with them. Almost every few months I get a bruise from my fights but my parent's never seemed to care, all they seem to talk about is money this, money that.
Ever since I was born they already treated me like nothing, my aunt tried to take me in but my mother said to her that she should go mind her own business and slowly I lost contact with her. Dad was quite an ass too, sometimes when he got drunk, he would beat me for no reason at all...
Because of that. I spent most of my time outside, hanging out at net-cafe's with some fellow rejects reading manga ,watching anime or playing some games only coming home to eat and sleep. At school my so-called friends were taking lunch money away from kids, I didn't like bullying anyone anyway so I just leave them like that. It's not like someone would go and pick a fight with me anyway because I was known at the school as a gang boss which is hella cringe and is just some baseless rumors spread by a paranoid schizo. Only getting into fights just because I was with the wrong people at the wrong time.
While walking home, I saw someone standing near our house. He looked somewhat shady with his cap on, so I just passed by him quickly and didn't bother to take a look at his face. From staying outside for so long I could tell by experience that he is bad news, constantly looking left and right for people while checking if it is clear. After passing him, he said something.
I clicked my tongue. I wasn't fast enough... what a hassle.
"Hey, kid can you give me some money? I'm a bit short."
I told him "I don't have any..." which is obviously a lie.
"Come on kid, even just a little change would be fine."

I shouted at him "Go screw yourself old man!" and turned to walk away. After a few meters, my vision went dark. It took me a few seconds later to realize that my face is having a romantic moment with the pavement and that somebody had hit me from behind.
"Little shits these days talk back to their elders."
Little shit? I heard that asshole. He thought that he knocked me out because I wasn't moving at all and then I felt a hand creeping into my pocket.
"Whoa! Nice phone, this could sell as a second-hand!" [Thief]
Nice phone? What are you a retard? That phone is at least three generations back and I brought that second-hand too with six months' worth of my crappy allowance! By now squidward could practically buy that crap with just his spare change! {1}
Soon after he checked my other pocket...
"And you said you don't have cash, heheheh." [Thief]
Damn! I should've stuffed my winnings from betting in counter-strike in my socks.
This asshole is getting cocky. When he started to leave I suddenly stood up and kicked him from behind, as he fell I proceeded to mount him and beat his ass up.
"Whose the little shit now!"
"Aww! Damn kid!" [Thief]
While punching his face, his hat came off and that was when I realized that I was royally screwed. Two days ago I was watching TV, there has been a breakout from a local jail. There were at least six suspects that had escaped some were charged with theft, drugs and even murder.
As I was thinking of that, I heard a loud (Bang!) my body felt heavy and I fell on the side. Not knowing what had hit me, the guy I was punching was helped by another man. There... I looked at them one was holding a gun...
"What happened?!" [Gunman]
"I don't know. I thought that I had knocked him out." [Thief]
"Did he see your face?" [Gunman]
"Yeah..." [Thief]
After talking to each other, both of them looked at me, the one with the gun pointed it at me and said: "If only you had stayed down!" He then started shooting (Bang! Bang! Bang!) While saying "Dammit-dammit!!!" It was those two guys who were charged with murder...
I can hear screams in the background and see them run off. Again my vision darkens, this time I was sure that this would be the end...
