It looks like a growth of some kind.”  \n“It’s just a birthmark.” I glared at her. “Haven’t you ever seen one before?” That shut her up, and the teacher quickly took control of the  \nsituation, explaining that some people were born with discolored skin, but it wasn’t anything","cbCaiemvWQJWz5nr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiemvWQJWz5nr","pdf",5343469,306,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1 - The Stranger\n# Chapter 2 - Dead or Alive\n# Chapter 3 - Frequency\n# Chapter 4 - The Signal\n# Chapter 5 - The Search\n# Chapter 6 - Transmitter\n# Chapter 7 - Midnight Meeting\n# Chapter 8 - The Stone House\n# Chapter 9 - Overwatch\n# Chapter 10 - Drone\n# Chapter 11 - Reset\n# Chapter 12 - DNA\n# Chapter 13 - Birthday\n# Chapter 14 - Launch\n# Chapter 15 - Breach\n# Chapter 16 - Betrayal\n# Chapter 17 - The Convergence\n# Chapter 18 - Alpha One","[{\"question\":\"Why do students start calling Sage an “alien”?\",\"answer\":\"Sage’s full name includes “Sagittarius,” and she has a birthmark on her neck that classmates notice.
