The Wishing Well

The Theft

On the outskirts of one the most popular private high school campuses in the world, lies an infamous gang who like to terrorize the innocent students of the school. One of the students, Cayden, lived off campus, as many students do. One day while he was trying to get home, one of the gang members, commonly known by his nickname "E", was set on targeting Cayden. E was in charge of the small team that gets money from bullying students. They usually waited outside the front gate of the school grounds for students to come out, but one day they decided to wait at the back gate because they figured people would use it to try and avoid them.

The first one who left the back gate was Cayden, he didn't leave that way because he was worried about the people outside the front but because it was quicker for him to be able to get back to his apartment. When E saw Cayden leaving the school, he immediately began to follow him. Cayden is a naturally paranoid person so he began weaving through the city streets, unaware that there was actually someone following him this time. E ended up following Cayden all the way back to his house, where he had dropped off his backpack in his room then grabbed his guitar. Cayden, then went back out into the bustling streets, hoping to earn some pocket cash from the friendly audience members who watch him perform in the streets.

While E was busy chasing Cayden down, his fellow gang members H

C and J had already gotten over $200 from other students. E felt confused and conflicted, he had seen the crappy neighborhood that Cayden lived in and now he was watching Cayden play his guitar for a crowd just to earn a bit of money. However, E knew that if he didn't steal then he would end up in the same place as him. He didn't even finish a year in high school, so he struggled to find a job which led him to the gang in the first place. H and J ended up regrouping with E, while C hid the money at their usual hiding spot.
