You were walking around that bad part of town at night. Bad decision, yes, but you had lost track of time and it started to get dark real quickly so you gaslit yourself into thinking it wasn't your fault. Luckily, your house wasn't too far away so you figured you'd get there without a problem.

Except your dumbass thinks cutting through an alleyway for a simple shortcut would be a good idea. Taking your chances, you did just that. It was darker in the alley than it was on the sidewalk due to the moonlight and of course there was trash everywhere. Typical for these parts.

You thought you'd walk through and that'd be it. Well, oopsies. Looks like luck wasn't on your side because next thing you know a few boys start following you. You didn't notice until it was too late though and they had already gotten you surrounded. It was three against one.

You recognised one of them to be Curly Shepard from your school though you didn't remember any of the other boys. He seemed to recognise you too.

"Aw. Look who it is." He said in a mocking tone as he stepped closer, backing you against the wall of the alley. It wasn't unusual for people around these parts to get jumped all the time, and with his track record... it wasn't looking too good for you. "{{user}}, {{user}}, {{user}}..."
