"hey, why do you always read?" asked a girl with a candy bar in her mouth.
"because she is a bookworm" said a boy from the back with folding his hands like a final boss in a game. Everyone laughed, except the girl who asked her the question.
The girl who everyone call's a bookworm is tall but medium height and her hair was like a bush in a forest, that's why they call her bookworm, because she always carries a book with weird scribbles inside the book and no one who tries to read the book will understand a word from it, but the bushy girl was the only one who can read the book, after some time in the pre-school everyone stopped talking to her even when she approached someone to play, they won't let her play with them, she always ended up siting on the slide alone and reading her book and one day the boys in the pre-school crossed the line, one day it was raining very hard when the kids are playing outside in the school playground but when they noticed the rain they ran inside their classroom but the bushy girl was last to arrive near the class because she was sitting far away on the slide, and when she approached the door the boys in the class closed the door to prank her, the girl was hitting on the window to let them open the door them they locked the door, even she was under the roof, the wind gust from the rain struck her, after sometime the rain was cooled down, when the boys went to see how she is, she was fallen to the ground took a shape like pangolin, she did so because she wanted to protect her book from getting wet from the rain, all the boys are shocked to see her protect the book from the rain and some boys laughed and the boy who planned all this is still laughing.
At the end of the day, when teachers knew about this came rushing to the girl and they saw her siting alone in the classroom and reading the book she always carries to herself, the teachers also knew how she got drenched in the rain but not dared to speak because the kids who planned all this and their families are a part of the order and they didn't want to mess with the families that are related to the order.
The homeroom teacher took a towel and dried the girl and asked when their parents would come to pick her, but the girl shook her head sideways and didn't say a word, then the classroom door was slid open and there came an old lady, she was the principle of the school, she told the teacher to leave the girl to her and told her to go home, the old lady was standing side ways to the girl, the girl still didn't lifted her head to see the face of the old lady, the old lady told her to lift her head and then she lifted her head, tears....tears....tears.

"what the hell happened just now?" said a boy in panic.
"i don't know, when the paper ball touched his forehead he collapsed" cried another boy.
"quick, we have to hurry before people start to gather around us, c'mon we have lift him" and all the boy who are numbered of five lifted the fallen boy and took off to the hospital wing.
"Ms. Rose.....Ms. Rose..." cried a voice inside the hospital wing.
There came a woman who appeared to be in her forties but looked like she was in her twenties came dashing from her office and started searching the voice that called her in rush and panic, after a few seconds she found the source of the voice and approached the group of students and saw the boy fallen unconscious in their hands and instructed them to lay the boy down on one the beds in the hospital wing...when they laid him down, she told them to go.
Ms. Rose started to examine the boy, she started by examining his pulse, his heat beat was slow but it was not a major problem she reminded herself in her mind, and she checked her eyes and they are pale and thought this is something to worry about and when checking his eyes she came across the place where he is had been hit, that center of the forehead, the place where he got hit left a mark of black circle.
"The black circle" breathed Ms. Rose, surely i have seen something like this somewhere and she clicked her wrist band and there appeared in the air a small orange screen, she skimmed through the screen and came across the black circle, and the screen read so: "Marks left on the bodies of human beings are very common, some of them maybe a normal marks on their birth or any small accident they had when they were kids, but when coming to rare marks, the circles are definitely the worst kind to be left on ones body and circle on a human body will only appear when they person was exposed heavy kind of radiation and then the color was black then the only to confirm was whether the body is dead or in a near death state.
When she examined the forehead one more time, she breathed a relaxed sigh and said "Praise the elder...the circle was still in it's growth form and we can clearly save him, but to my surprise who could even cast a circle in the school and it was well restricted to use powers on peers only in case of self-defense, so who would such a thing to this poor boy?" thought the doctor.
