Dana sat outside of her school at the base of the oldest oak tree on the property. It was the only place where snow wasn't blanketing the ground because the wide branches and leaves held it up. She fiddled with a pencil loosely in her hand, her tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth as she drew the delicate branches of the brittle tree across from her. It was missing something, but she couldn't tell what. She glanced over at the door of the school as students started rushing out, happy to be released from the dirty building. Dana's school was not exactly a five star establishment. She had ditched her last class to draw, feeling a bit rebellious, but in truth she knew no one cared. Her education was a joke, as was everyone else's who lived in this district. You don't need a Ph.D to gather crops.
Scanning across the sea of children, Dana's eye caught on one of them. It was a pretty girl, holding a notebook close to her chest. Dana couldn't make out too many details from the distance the girl was at, and she wasn't sure why she was watching her, so she went back to her drawing. She was deep in the fold of concentration, when a shadow covered her paper. She looked up, her eyes coming to rest on the person in front of her. It was one of the schools biggest jerks, Jolie Campbell. Jolie sneered at Dana and yanked the picture out of her hands. She didn't even have to speak to make Dana feel worthless, all she did was laugh, drop the picture in the snow, and stomp on it with one foot. Dana's normally gloomy eyes filled with anger and she stood up angrily, but was shoved back down. After a few seconds of merciless staring and laughing, Jolie finally got enough and left.
Dana glared at angrily after Jolie until she was out of sight. She absolutely hated people like her. Everyone in district 11 knew of Dana's assorted past. Dana was the freak who's mom left her alone with her drunk father, the loser who came to school in a puke stained jacket because her dad had drunk a little too much whiskey a few nights ago and Dana didn't have the money to buy a knew one.Dana knew she should detest her mother for ruining her young life, but she didn't. All she wanted was for her to come back home. Dana picked up the picture and stared at it sadly. It could have been amazing, but now it was ruined.
