The wind rustled my bright orange hair as I sit on the edge of the district near the woods. The sunset make sky hair seem as if it's on fire. This is the only place you can even see the sun in the smoke clouded district three. Not very many of us even see it all to be safe from straying to far to the fence. I don't care though. The peacekeepers try to ward us away with signs of danger and keep away. I ignore them though and march right up next to the fence. It's how I spend my evenings. Sitting by the fence, waiting for the glimpse of the beautiful sunset to light up a space between the smoke drifting away from factories.

"Courteny Alexandra Rion! Come back here right this instant!" My bright green eyes settle on a woman standing near the edge of a group of house. "One moment!" I call back to my Auntie in my dreamy voice. I get up onto my long legs and start walking towards the house. I know that if I don't start moving mother will come out and yank on my large ears that make me feel like an elf already. People tease me about my unusually long legs and my pointed ears. My little brothers pull on the tops of my ears laughing about how large they are.

I walk into the small, three roomed house in which my mother, my twin twelve year old brothers, my auntie Grace, and I live. It's crowded and I despise it. I can't get a moments rest with my brothers bouncing around a few feet away from me. I sit down on my bed and look at the tedious homework the teachers in my school have set up for me. I have never been the one to like the complicated homework and classes that are set up in district three to get us ready to be working with complicated technology. I have always done poorly in these classes and all my teachers tell my mother I'm dumb. I suppose I am.

All I do most days is drift around dreamily. My head fills with images of adorable rabbits I have seen a few times poking their noses out from the woods. I can't answer the simplest of questions that I am asked by my teachers and my mother. As I look blankly on the small page and hold the pencil that my mother saved up quite a bit just to buy, my head starts to fill with images of the small glimpse of sunshine I had just seen. My auntie comes to me and tweaks my ears roughly and says angrily. "Pay attention! Write something! Just do your work for once you lazy girl!" I think she doesn't like me.

I think nobody likes me. Ever since Papa died there hasn't been a single person who has said a kind word to me. My papa worked in one of the giant factories like my mother. There was an accident though. One day the peacekeepers showed up on out doorstep and said our father had been killed. I didn't understand at first. My six year old mind had gone blank and I didn't know what had happened. We were soon evicted from our house because mother wasn't making enough to support our house. I was about to be taken away from mother to an orphanage but then Auntie Grace invited us to stay with her in her tiny house. Our house was tiny, but hers was even smaller. You seemingly couldn't move an inch without hitting someone else.

I start to scratch on the paper with my pencil. My long fingers moving the pencil to scratch a small drawing of a rabbit onto my paper absentmindedly. I smile slightly, and my mouth cracks open a small bit, revealing my slightly crooked teeth. I feel the paper snatched from my hands as one of my brothers runs up to mother screaming, "Look mom! Giraffe neck isn't doing her work again!" Giraffe neck was their nasty name for me because my neck is so long. I slouch drearily over to my mom as she looks at me with disappointment in her gaze.

Everyone looks at me like that somehow no matter what. With disappointment or with sickness. I always feel like such a disappointment to everyone because of it. I can't even do my homework. And since this is district three which is supposed to be the smartest district with no animals inside the fence, I can't say a dog ate my homework.
