Hi, this is my first fanfic so don't expect too much from it. Still, I hope you guys like it. :)

Have you ever heard of the Greek gods? Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and Athena, to name a few. You haven't heard of them? Good. Keep it that way. Don't care about them, and if you do, pretend like you don't. That's what I did, until my life changed completely.

My name is Aliana Harmony. I'm thirteen years old and I have straight blonde hair and green, grayish eyes. I might look like an ordinary girl who lives with her mother in New York, but you can't be more wrong.

The school year was walking to its end, and I was very proud of myself. I almost stayed a whole year on one school without getting expelled. My mum sent me to a school with "problem" children. It wasn't a nice school; the teachers were too strict, I hated the food on the school and they didn't teach music. But I had to say that it was one of my best school years. The teachers didn't pay much attention to my ADHD or dyslexia and they gave me a smile when I got a sufficient for a test, which happened more often. And above all, I had a new friend.

I only had one other friend in my whole life. I was 6 and went to an open school, and on the first day I already was a bullet's target. The bullet saw me watching the music group and just wanted to make a funny joke, but another boy (I couldn't remember his name) stopped him. 'Don't' he said, and he gave the bully an angry look. I noticed that his eyes that had the same color as mine. 'Leave her alone, she's just a new girl. Go find someone of your own age.' The bully surprisingly enough left, and I smiled at the boy. He was about 7 years older than me, but we somehow became friends. He protected me, I made him laugh. He was like a brother that I never had.

Sadly enough, just before the end of the year, he announced that he would leave school. 'Where will you go?' I asked sadly. 'Away from here,' he answered. He stood up and looked at me with a smile. 'Ey, c'mon. Don't be sad. If there's a day that we will see each other again, I am looking forward to it,' he said. I answered his smile, though I wasn't happy at all.

But now, I had a new friend. His name was Grover and he was about the same age as me. He came to school after Christmas break. He didn't look cool and wasn't liked by the rest of the class either, so I decided that I would like him. We paired up with gym. We worked together very well and I started to like school again, just because I had a friend.

So, on the last day, Grover and I were lunching alone, as usual. Grover looked with some kind of hunger in his eyes to my empty tin of diet coke. He had done that before, but I still found it weird.

'So…' I said. 'Scared for our last test?'

'Huh?' Grover said as he looked up from my empty tin. 'Oh, err… not really. It's Biology, right?'

I nodded. 'I forgot. That's your favorite subject, isn't it?' I said.

Grover smiled. 'Yeah, it is. I just found it interesting how-'

Before Grover could finish his sentence, we were interrupted by Brian Adams, our favorite kid from the class. Joke, we hated everything of him, from his fatty brown hair to his toes of his giant feet.

'Ey!' he said. 'School is almost finished, but I haven't bullied you newbies yet. Isn't that weird?'

I squeezed my hands. 'No, it isn't,' I said. 'But your big head is just too dumb to think about that.'

Grover gave me a warning look, but he already was too late. Brian's eyes narrowed and he said: 'Think you're cool, don't ya?'

I didn't say anything. It was better to keep my mouth shut.

'Let's see if you stay cool in a fight, then,' Brian said and he lifted his fist. But before he could break my nose with it, Grover kicked him, making Brian yelling with pain.

'OOOUUUUCCCHH!' Brain grabbed his leg, but, being so fat, he fell over. The whole canteen laughed and the canteen lady hurried to our table.

'Time to leave this table, don't you think, Mr. Adams?' she said. 'You, sit down and eat the rest of your lunch,' she added to Grover.

Both of the boys listened to her, and when she walked away, I started to laugh.

'And how did you do that?' I said.

Grover blushed. 'You know… Just kick him.'

We were still laughing when the ball rang, announcing that we should be heading to our class now.

When we arrived at the Biology classroom – the most hated place in this school, if you didn't listen to Grover – I found out that I was scared for our test. I didn't like the subject at all, but the teacher of this subject was scaring me the most. Her name was Mrs. L. Henderson and she looked like a young woman, but I could swear that she was much older than she looked. She was always using a stick to walk, and the way she looked at me… Like she wanted to eat me or something.

Brian Adams was standing at the door and gave me an "I'll-get-you-after-school" look. I looked away and decided that I should stay close to Grover, although I would like to kick Brian as hard as Grover did.

The sound of a walking stick and a hissing voice that said: "Good afternoon, my dearsss," gave me goose bumps. I turned around and saw Mrs. Henderson walking to the door. She gave me the usual look before she smiled to Brian and opened the door. I walked close to Grover when we walked passed her. When we took place at our tables, he smiled and whispered: 'She really scares you, doesn't she?'

I nodded. 'Yeah, she really gives me chills. She looks like a monster!' I answered. Grover looked at Mrs. Henderson with. It seemed that he was thinking about something, but when he saw me looking at him, he laughed and said 'Yeah…'

I thought about what my mother would have said if I said this to her. 'You can't say that! She's just… different.' And then she would gave me a wink. I had to admit it; I missed her. My mum was the nicest woman I knew. My father left her when I was born. I was still angry at him, my mum didn't deserve that. She had to raise me alone- which wasn't easy, of course. I haven't seen her since the Christmas break, only her handwriting on her letters.

'Okay, dearsss, you can start with your tessst!' hissed Mrs. Henderson, making me jump a meter in the air. I hadn't noticed that the test was already on my table.

I sighed and picked up my pen. Question 1, I read, with some difficulty because of my dyslexia. Why is the bombing of the heart so important to survive? I stared confused at my paper. Bombing of the heart? Then I saw that it wasn't bombing, but pumping.

Hating myself for being so stupid, I wrote down an answer and continued to the next question. I started kicking my feet against each other. Because of my ADHD, I couldn't stay still, especially not during tests.

Mrs. Henderson hissed again and gave me an angry look. I stopped with kicking my feet, but had to concentrate to not start it again.

As I was busy making question 2, Mrs. Henderson's voice suddenly whispered in my ear. 'Cheating, my dear?'

I jumped at least two meters high. 'N-no, of course not,' I said, probably not very convincing.

'Liar!' whispered Mrs. Henderson. 'Liarsss need to be punisshhed!' She grabbed my arm and tried to pull me on my feet. 'No!' I said. 'I didn't do anything wrong! Let go!'

But the teacher didn't let go. She managed to pull me on my feet and started dragging me to the door. I saw Grover looking at me. 'Help me!' I said miserably to him. Brian Adams started laughing, but I didn't take any notice of it. Grover did nothing but snapping his fingers. It was a sharp sound, different than if I would snap my fingers. Mrs. Henderson let go and looked a bit confused. I walked back to my table as fast as I could, and made the rest of the test, trying not to do anything wrong.

At the end of the class, I still had goose bumps. I was the first out of the class and when Grover came walking next to me, he was panting. 'Don't walk that fast!' he said. 'I've never been an athlete'

'Thanks,' I said.

He looked confused. 'For what?'

'For saving me from Mrs. Henderson'

He even looked more confused. 'I didn't save you. I didn't need to. Nothing happened during class!'

Now I was confused too. 'What do you mean? She was dragging me to the door without any reason! I think that's something that happened in class!'

Grover shook his head. 'Aliana, I don't know what you're talking about.'

But I did. And I knew for sure that something weird was happening here.

And that's the first chapter. I know it's quite long and boring, but this is my first chapter so I'll try to make my other chapters better. Also, don't forget to review.
