Imagine if the OP teamed up with the other sellers to form a soda cartel with him as the leader. Instead of selling for 0.75, they sell for 2 dollars. Anyone trying to undercut is either snitched on or beaten.

Eventually they’re making so much money that they start bribing the teachers with tenners to keep everything on the down low.

Shit starts getting real when the principal makes a major announcement about the soda black market. He declares a war against the cartel. Teachers who are caught engaging in bribes are fired. OP and the sellers have to go underground, moving from locker to locker. Bribing all their classmates to keep their mouth shut.

But it’s too late. Corruption has ruined the school. No one knows which teachers are on the cartel’s payroll and everyone is too scared to snitch. Snitches start seeing school kids loitering around their house carrying baseball bats. Kids wind up coming to school with broken hands and black eyes. An aura of fear resides over the school.

The local police is called in (DEA) and they are focused on investigating and bringing down the cartel. OP continues selling the stuff, he’s now got goons selling it for him whilst he has his own desk in the teacher’s office block.

People start thinking about their future so they start snitching on everyone. Informants are everywhere. Kids are called to testify to the local PD. Pretty soon they arrest some high rank members who snitch on the OP. OP goes underground, hiding in a cellar beneath the school.

Cops get intel and they search the cellar where they find OP who peacefully surrenders. OP is extradited out of the school and placed in the local jail. He stands trial and is found guilty of soda trafficking, bribery and assault. He’s sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Meanwhile back at the school, the death of the cartel leaves a power vacuum. And with soda continuing to be banned, new players quickly jump in to fill the void, starting a soda war.
