Comprehension- Laser Eyes

What is the best title for this passage?

My name is Lindsey and I have laser eyes. I know what you are thinking and what you’re about to ask, am I a superhero? No, I’m just a little girl in the second grade with a super power. I do have to wear special glasses though so I don’t cheat on tests. I mostly use my super power for popping popcorn and spotting candy from miles away. Having a super power is great, except when you have to go to school. Sometimes when I’m thinking really hard about something I

might accidentally burn my paper. I don’t think anyone’s noticed yet, but someone is bound to soon. I need to find a way to contain my super power. To make matters worse, I have a bully too! Her name is Beatrice. She’s always teasing me about my glasses. Until one day she showed up at school with glasses just like mine. I decided that I needed to be nice to her. I found out Beatrice has a super power too! She can make things move with just her eyes. It is so cool. Before I knew it Beatrice and I were best friends! I can’t believe that just last week Beatrice was my enemy. And now we’re best friends learning together how to control our super power eyes!
