Natural speed please
Important: The story will be written from three perspectives, the three characters start out in three different places so please see the chapter title for whose POV it is.

"There he is, that little shit." A voice said behind me. Crap, I had barely recovered from the last beating. I turned to see the group of bullies had caught up to me and I was backed up against the wall. This wasn't good.
"So, you got any cash, dickhead?" One of them asked. He didn't wait for an answer, he grabbed my bag and emptied it on the floor. As I tried to stop him, a fist met my face. I winced in pain and looked at the guy who had punched me.
"What do you think you're doing, eh?" He said stopping me from reaching out.
"Just fuck off," I said. That was a mistake, next thing I know he grabbed my head and kneed me in the face, another one of them kicked me from behind and I fell on the concrete.
"Gotta big mouth haven't you?"
"Please, leave me alone," I said pleadingly. There was only laughter as I heard someone crack their fists. I had been on my way home, now I might be going to hospital.
"No money? What a shame. I'll take the payment another way." Cue the violence. He kicked me in the head and the rest of them joined in. I tried to cover my face but it was no use, these guys were out for blood. One of them picked me up and bashed my face against the brick wall. I groaned as my nose cracked and my vision went blurry. I could hear them laugh and I felt tears in my eyes. I yelled out in pain as I felt a huge weight on my chest; one of them was standing on top of me. Then for good measure, he kicked me in the head one more time and walked away with the rest of them, laughing.
I wiped away blood from my nose. If anyone had seen what had happened, they didn't get involved. There wasn't exactly much justice around here. It wasn't the first time my bag had been dumped so I had learnt to make sure there was no loose paper. I picked up all the waterproof folders from the floor and placed them back in my bag and trudged home.
I lived in a small apartment in Inglewood, the not so good part of Los Angeles. As always the house was empty, my mum was out working and we were the only two residents. I went to my room to get a new pair of clothes and walked into the bathroom to assess the damage. No black eyes, which was good news. I put bits of cotton in my nose to stop it from bleeding. I had bruises on my hips but they would be hidden by my top; I didn't have to worry about them.
I always hid everything from my mother, she was always working overtime and worrying about bills. She had enough on her plate to be worrying about me. Don't get me wrong we weren't distant. Rather the opposite, I could talk about whatever. I never really went through the phase of my mum is really annoying.
When I was sure everything was hidden, I sat down at my desk. As I said we weren't that well off. Of course it wasn't that bad, I was sure to get a meal and clean clothes and there wasn't a threat of us being thrown out. My mum was actually appreciated by the company she worked for, all of her extra hours meant her job was pretty safe. I just didn't have the luxury of spending money on games and movies. So I did the next best thing, Piracy. I could pirate anything; Games? Not an issue. Movies? Easy. I didn't even hesitate to steal Netflix accounts. I didn't really give a crap about any of the developers or film directors. It wasn't like they were short of money anyway.
I had made several online friends. They were also pirates and we played games together, funnily enough I had met them in the comment section of The Pirate Bay. Of course I had no idea who they really were, but we shared info. I had one particular message waiting for me.
Uknown_Pirate- So you gonna buy new gamin PC?
You- no cash
Uknown_Pirate- Get some den
You- How?
Uknown_Pirate- Scam, u pirate anyway
You- SRSLY?
Uknown_Pirate- Ye, I'll help u as well
You-How?
Uknown_Pirate-Keylogger- get credit card and password details
You- How am I gnna put keylogger on sum1's Pc
Uknown_Pirate-u program keylogger- I'll worry about that- den we split money 50/50
I thought for a while, I was sure I could program it but this was going a little too far. Piracy was one thing. Stealing credit card details? That was another.
Uknown_Pirate- If u worrying about scamming good people dont worry
You-Y?
Uknown_Pirate- Lets just say- only dudes who search for child porn are gnna get scammed
You- KK, gimme a few days
I still wasn't sure whether this was the right thing to do, but I needed money: not just for a new PC but in real life as well. Plus I was only going to steal off pedophiles anyway, it wasn't like I was doing a bad thing. Maybe I could even start buying designer clothes and start getting out of the bullies scope.
But little did I know, that once you take the first step into crime, it's extremely difficult to turn back.So, that's my first chapter, I have no idea when I'll release the next one, but it will be no more than 5 days- unless something unexpected happens.
Please vote if you enjoyed it and comment your opinion, that's what the Internet is for. So comment if you don't like it as well, but please say why.
Also, I am in no way trying to glorify Piracy- It is wrong.
