[[OOC: I'll try and keep my posts short and to the point, because you said that you're kinda new XD

EDIT: Oh my gosh, this post is longer then I expected it to be.. I'll make my other ones shorter, I promise.]]


Zinnia Yaren did not exist any longer. At least, it felt like it. She was homeless, she was always hidden out of sight, and she was even presumed to be dead by all of the people that she usually spoke to. She did not even look like herself anymore.

So maybe she did exist.. she just wasn't Zinnia anymore. She was some other fifteen year old girl, some girl who witnessed the murder of her father and once killed an innocent passerby on the streets of District One.

It doesn't matter, that's in the past.. she told herself. Everything that had once happened to her was done. She couldn't take it back, she couldn't do anything differently. It was the present time that mattered, not her history.

The only problem was, the present time wasn't so amazing either.

Zinnia Yaren was sitting on a small pile of snow on the curb, head resting on her cheek as she looked up at the sky. It wasn't blue as it usually was, but overcast and gray.

People were walking all around, avoiding spots where the ground was icy and the snow was thick to not slip and fall or get their shoes too damp.

Random passersby gave her strange looks as they walked past in their stylish clothes and their perfect hair. District One was the richest of the Districts, and she completely stood out from the crowd. Her clothes were old and out of style, her hair was tangled and needed to be cut, and she had the look of an extremely unhealthy person. If the circumstances were different, she might have even been pretty.

Someone kicked her purposefully, like she was a piece of trash that someone left on the ground. Immediately, she stood up and lunged towards whoever it was, but they were already walking away and in a moment they were gone.

She brushed herself off and took a step to run after whoever it was, but when she set her foot down on the slick ground, it caught a piece of ice and slid forwards, sending her toppling backwards. She flung her arms back to catch the fall, but didn't land exactly right and ended up slamming her arm against the concrete and scraping the palm of her other hand.

She bit her lip to hold back a pained noise, at the same moment thinking silently to herself, Shit, I hope no one saw me..

I gotta get home. I was late for work again. My boss will kill me i tought hurrying down the icy pavement. I heard the sound of a boot connect with a body. I looked over and saw a man kick a scrawny girl on the pavement upahead. Even if she was homeless that wasnt right. I saw her lunge at the man and she slipped and fell face first. I tried not to but I laughed out loud. That got a bad look from the girl.....

Zinnia's hopes were useless- just about everyone in the streets noticed her stupid fall. Glances came from all around, but none of them were pitying. Some people smirked, and some of them just kept walking as if nothing at all had happened. Not one person came over to help her.

Gawd, people are so rude.. she thought to herself.

There was one person, though, that actually laughed at her humiliating moment. She stood up immediately, brushed the snow off of her ragged clothing, and turned around to see whoever it was.

It was a boy, probably younger then herself. She glared at him and without thinking, she lunged at him and attempted to shove him over onto the ground angrily.

"What, you think that was funny?" She asked him strongly, acting tougher then she actually felt. In a way, she was acting like a cat. When scared or threatened, they made themselves look bigger and tougher then they actually were.

Except, Zinnia realized that she probably just looked silly.

She tried to lunge me but I sidestepped. "What you think that was funny?" the scrawny homeless girl asked angrily. The girl could have actually been really pretty if she actually cared. "What no it wasnt funny" i said sympheticly (SP?) . "It was hilarious" I added barely able to supress a laugh. I think im being a bit to mean i tought to myself..

Zinnia almost fell again when he sidestepped away from her small, angry attack. She silently cursed herself for not being quick or strong enough as she stepped back for a moment, glaring at him icily.

"What? No, it wasn't funny." He said in what was almost a sympathetic voice. For a moment Zinnia actually believed that he was trying to act a bit more polite, but then reality came crashing down again, as it always did. "It was hilarious." He added, trying to hide his laughter but failing.

People were horrible, laughing at some girl without a home, sitting on the curb? Maybe that's what I deserve.. She thought to herself, but shook the thought off immediately as she faced the boy.

With an expression filled with complete hatred, she attempted another attack, this time as a slap to the face.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" She snarled at him. People had been rude to her before, but this was absolutely ridiculous.

Derek:

I chuckled quietly to myself as I turned the corner and saw something odd. A skinny girl was lunging oddly at a man walking past and then she fell. I felt bad for her, it was just so sudden and I was so confused by the sight, there was nothing else to do. I shook my head and continued walking toward the general store. I only had a few dollars on me, but I was hungry and I was going to get something to eat.

There was yelling behind me and I turned to find the source. That skinny girl was yelling at some boy like no tomorrow. It was amusing to see someone so small have so much power. Looking at her, I started to see what I hadn't realized before. Not only was she thin, but she was really thin. I'd never seen someone that thin in District 1.

She had clothes on that weren't very nice looking. They were ripped and torn and dirty. Her hair was a mess and she looked cold. The snow on the ground probably wasn't making it easy on her. The boy she was yelling at looked amused and was laughing. I realized it was turning into the something when she attempted to slap him and started yelling again.

Everyone around her seemed to be ignoring her and walking by. I didn't understand why. Are people this ignorant? I jogged over to the situation. The boy was laughing harder and the girl turned bright red. Up close, she seemed even skinner, but couldn't be more then a two years younger then me, as I had just turned 17 last month.

"Hey, guys what's going on here?" I asked. I didn't want them to start fighting in public. I was suddenly protective of this girl who looked as if she'd snap in two if anyone laid a hand on her.
