Sketches second quarter

So now i'm halfway into the book "Sketches" by Eric Walters and a lot has happened, Some very nice a couple no so pleasing. The story takes a turn towards another scene that's possibly the day after the whole explanation thing in the beginning (It's really confusing, maybe i'm just dumb) and Dana the protagonist is under a bridge in what seems to be in the middle of the day doing some graffiti. Some guy who is later introduced as Robert complements Dana for her artistic skills and Hands her a card for a drop-in centre which isn't like most drop-in centres since they don't offer food or showers (arrangements can be made for it though), however it offers people artistic things like pottery or painting. Dana keeps this away from her friends Brent and Ashley because they would just shut down anything that she would say about it since it won't really help them out with food or shelter, but they find out when all three of them are emptying their pockets to count the money they gathered from begging and it slips off with Dana's money. They don't pay much attention about it as it didn't really interest them and partly because Dana tried to dismiss it.The day after Dana decides to go to the drop-in centre called "SKETCHES" and is greeted by a person who works there called Nicki who tells her the basics and then proceeds to give her a snack. Dana meets up with her friend and tells them that she went to the drop-in centre and Ashley gets a bit mad since she didn't help with begging,but brent tells her to calm down since Dana was just having fun. They sleep in some abandoned area which isn't important, BUT the next morning the group decide to squeegee since it would pay off more than just panhandling (begging for money). The group manages to gain almost 40 bucks which is really good for them. The group do get threatened by a group of other street peeps for "taking their spot" and decide to leave since the cops might come by(they were squeegeeing for 2 hrs). The story then cuts into Dana being in SKETCHES and Robert complements her art and tells her what is it called. Dana doesn't know, but it is a drawing of two girls(one being Dana, the other being Dana's younger sister). Robert Says that people usually draw things that they miss and Dana begins to think about her younger sister and cries a bit. Dana then returns to her friends and they begin to go towards somewhere( it isn't specified) and Dana says it wouldn't be bad if they go to SKETCHES and see what she likes . The group decides to go but they get jumped leaving Brent with a broken nose and scraped face, Ashley with a busted rib, and Dana was fine. the group got robbed from everything they had. THey decide to rest for the day and afterward Dana goes to SKETCHES since Brent and Ashley just want to relax for the day. THe moment she gets to SKETCHES she was dragged into a group with Robert, Nicki and others to do something fun. They were just recreating the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh called Starry Night. Dana had so much fun doing so that she didn't notice a hat to the side of their work which slowly collected money and Nicki who had left to get some food for the whole group. Dana then tells Nicki that her two friends got injured and Nicki scheduled a time for them to get checked free of charge. The group get the help needed and prescribed some pain medications and Dana offers to but them food with twenty-four dollar.(she got 1/9 of what the hat earned.)
