There are two aspects of living in my apartment, one is the normal face that is visible to most people. And then there is the underworld, it is here where things get interesting.
I live in a fairly large apartment (whose name has been coded for confidentiality purposes), and due to the the large number of kids, gangs and groups start to form.
There are clans, alliances, betrayals, wars, espionage, moles, and territory disputes. In a world inhabited by kids. There are two major gangs who have their own territory and such, one is the “cool” kids gang, they will be called A gang and the other is the “people who did not get accepted in the cool kids gang so they formed their own gang”. I shall be calling them the “B” gang. These aforementioned gangs are the ones most actively against each other, but there is also one mega gang who just do their own thing in the playgrounds. Due to the animosity of these gangs they are restricted in the places they can access.
I know all of this because I am part a gang which does not attract the attention of most of the big gangs so I can go anywhere I please, but seeing the rate at which my gang is growing I am sure that is bound to change.
As this entire thing is being run by a bunch of teenagers the whole thing is very cluttered, the A gang is a anarchy running on nothing but trade in pokemon cards while the B gang is a “democracy” with a few leaders who can expel people at their whim.
The only skirmish I’ve seen was when a kid who challenged some one to a fight was slapped and jeered home. I am still waiting for the conflict caused when the gangs try expanding their territory. For now the club and it’s amenities are controlled by the B gang while most of the park areas and the semicircle and pentagon is controlled by the A gang. Everywhere else is a neutral area.
So this an introduction to the messy and complicated politics of the underworld in my apartment.
