Chapter 2

Adapting

"So, you don't know how to read?" His brother asked. "Man, you're worse than our sister over there." He said nodding towards the little girl whose been struggling to hit the tree.

"I-I mean, I can read, but I don't read like these."

"Huh?" He said in confusion. "You can read but not like these?"

I nod in embarrassment. "Yes..."

"You sure are one odd girl, aren't you?"

I lower my head in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Yeah, you should be!" He said. "Gosh, aren't you embarrassed the fact that you can't read?"

Nozel have mentioned that Solid, his brother, tends to be really insensitive but I never thought he'd be this sensitive.

bang!

"Eek!" I yelp.

"Hey, watch it, you little rat!" Solid said. "Gee, she just never learn, does she?"

"Someone's in a bad mood." We turn to the girl who just got here. "What happened this time?"

Solid grunted. "Noelle almost hit us with her useless magic." He said playing with his hair. "Oh, and, this girl over here does not know how to read that."

She turn to me. "You don't know how to read?"

I nod slowly. "I-I'm sorry..."

"No, don't be sorry." She said. "It's not your fault that you are a low-life peasant who can't read." She laugh with Solid at the end.

Why are they so mean? To me? And to their sister? I thought.

"Good one, Nebra!" Solid laugh even louder. "I mean, what was Nozel thinking? To have more maids around?" He laugh even more making me gather tears in my eyes.

"Solid, cut it out!" Nebra said then tries to comfort me. "The little peasant is about to cry!" She said then push me down to the ground as she laugh even more with her brother.

They are so mean... I thought. 

I turn to look at them with teary eyes.

"Aw, are you gonna cry now?" Nebra mocked.

That really made my tears fall itself. They are so mean that I wanted to use my magic at them but I don't wanna hurt them. 

"Aw, she's crying!" Nebra mock again.

This really made me cry. It hurts so much that I wanted to scream at them but I'm scared of what they are going to do. 

"What? Are you going to look for your momma?" Solid added. 

"Oh, my God, she's actually crying!"

"Crybaby!" Solid's words were like a bunch of daggers that stab in my heart.

"Hey, stop it!" A little girl's voice suddenly interrupted them making them look at her.

"Stay out of this, Noelle or you will get hurt." Solid threatens her.

The little girl back away. "Y-You can h-hurt me a-all you want but... leave her out of th-this..." She said with her stance form.

They look at her in confusion.

"Why? What you gonna do? " Solid asked. "Attack us with your useless magic?"

"A-At least I am helping." She said in fear. "U-Unlike you, you bully her and- AH!"
