A week has passed August just being August . She doesn't anyone close to her well except Cianly ,but not always and she's trying to Tolerate Ms Leen .
She sleeps alone at the far end of the room ,and rarely sleeps . When she's awake there's always a book in her hands , reading seems to be her favorite hobby .
Her age mates never got close to her , maybe when it's sports time at the orphanage, she loves being active. They have enrolled her at a near by school , because of her intelligence they had to move her two grades higher.
Although she's quite happy at the orphanage,school days are the hardest,the bulling was too much , despite everything they did to her she never reported them . And other kids mistook that as fear and cowardness ,but in actual fact August loved setting the score on her own.

The classroom buzzed with the usual chatter of students, but August sat alone at her desk, her eyes fixed on the book in front of her. She was always the quiet one, the girl who rarely spoke and kept to herself. Her intelligence set her apart, but it also made her a target.
Troy, the class bully, sauntered over with a smirk on his face. He had been picking on August for weeks, finding amusement in her silence and the way she never fought back.
"Hey, freak," Troy sneered, knocking her book off the desk. "Why don't you say something for once?"
August's eyes flickered up to meet his, but she remained silent. The other students watched, some snickering, others looking away uncomfortably.
Troy leaned in closer, his voice a low whisper. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
Without warning, he shoved her hard, causing her to stumble back. The classroom erupted in laughter, but August's expression remained unchanged. She picked herself up, her mind racing. She had endured enough.
Throughout all the subject classes she was thinking of the best way to deal with Troy. Since he wanted to play ,they were going to play .
Later that day, during recess, Troy found himself alone in the hallway. He was rummaging through his locker when he felt a sharp pain in his side. He turned only to see August standing there, her eyes cold and calculating, he had never seen her like that .
"Leave me alone," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Troy laughed, but it was cut short as August's hand shot out, striking him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, gasping for breath. Before he could react, she was gone, disappearing into the crowd of students returning from recess.
The pain intensified with each breath and groan , looking at his front part of his t-shirt , panick hit him as he noticed the blood stain , he was too caught up in looking for August in the hallway to notice that he had been stabbed .
" That psyhco " Troy murmured to himself cursing before dizziness hit him everything going blurry.

This is a dog eat dog world , always return the same energy you're given " her father said stabbing the robber that had broke into their home .
Her father never his who he really was from his daughter,and she grew to accept it ,even found it normal and quite thrilling.
Sigh'...
When Troy was found, clutching his side and blanked out, no one suspected August. She was the quiet girl, the one who never spoke. The teachers assumed he had tripped and fallen while holding something sharp, and Troy, too embarrassed to admit he had been bested by her, said nothing.
When the class teacher informed the students about the incident,some were remorseful and none of them bothered to suspect August she was just a kid.
August's face, a mask of calm. Inside, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction. She had stood up for herself, and no one would ever know. She had actually done her research,Troy was clumsy tripping and fainting was his thing so no one was going to suspect her ...
