Hi. My name is Alexandra. But if you call me that I will personally remove your lungs with a spoon. Call me Alex. I suppose youve gathered that Im am not in a very good mood, so dont cross me unless you want all your clothes to "mysteriously disapear" while youre in the shower. I've had a pretty crappy day. It started out normally, me getting kicked out of my third boarding school that month and being dropped off at Yancy academy. Which I know for a fact, is a school for "troubled" kids. No matter how much my mom may try to make it sound nice, I know the truth. I saw the brochure. Eventually my mom made me go by saying that, if I didnt, she would take away my phone for a month. She knows my weakness. We pulled up in front of the school. As soon as I got out and closed the door, my mom drove off without any good-byes. Nice parenting mom. I thought as I walked inside.

Okay, I made it through half the day. No signs of going insane yet. Thats a good sign. I look at my schedual. I may have spoken too soon. I have english next. Joy to the freakin world, for that class is dumb. Hope that boredom dont drive us insane! I grabbed my stuff and dragged myself to the class room. When I walked in I noticed that Ms. Robinson wasn't there yet. Normally I would have been excited, it would be the perfect time to pull pranks. But today I wasnt in the mood. Suddenly a kid walked up to me.

"Hi! your new here right?" He said. I looked at him. He looked like he seriously needed to lay off the dessert. I nodded.

"Yea! Your Alexandra!" I fought to keep my expression neutral

"Dont call me that.." I said "I dont believe in nicknames Alexandra! I think that we should all go by the names we were given when..." He trailed off as I gave him an evil glare. There was no way I was letting this fat oompa loompa of a kid call me that! No way! I felt a hot flash of anger. It quickly turned to surprise though as the kids books exploded in his hands! He cried out in pain (more like screamed like a little girl) and dropped the books, which had burst into flames. I heard a gasp behind me and spun around to that everyone in the class was staring at me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see a teacher I didnt reckonize. She looked very much like she wanted to kill me. I did the intelligent thing, I turned and ran like hell. I passed them and made it out the door. I ran into the first door i saw and shut the door, which happened to be the janitors closet. Normally I wouldnt have hid but I really want to keep my phone privileges. I must have stayed in there for five minutes before I heard footsteps outside the door. Everything was quiet for a second then the door blasted open, throwing me to the ground. I would have sworn I locked that door. I looked up to see the new insane teacher staring at me.

"Um.. okay..I'm sure we can work this out.." I stammered intelligently.

"SILENCE!" She screamed at me. I shut my mouth. "Foolish half blood"

"Wait. What did you call me?" I asked

"YOU WILL BE SILENT! IDIOT HALF BLOOD!" she screeched and I don't mean a loud scream, I mean an animal like screech! "YOU HAVE REAVILED YOURSELF TO MORTALS! FOR THAT YOU MUST DIE BEFORE YOU CONTAMINATE OUR RACE!" She shut her eyes and transformed into a fury. I don't mean an angry animal. An actual Greek mythology Fury! I recognized It from Mr. Brunners Mythology class! She screeched and flew at me. She must have been going 30 MPH! I yelled and dove to one side barley escaping her raking talons! She turned around and flew at me again. This time she managed to scratch me with a claw, It wasn't serious but it hurt like hell! I yelled and I was barley aware of a commotion in the hall way. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two kids run up to the doorway. One I recognized as Grover Underwood, He was in Mythology class with me. The other Kid I didn't recognize, but then again, I was pretty distracted as to not getting torn to pieces by an angry fury! The boy I didn't recognize yelled and pulled out a pen, which he tossed to me. HOW IS A FREAKIN PEN SUPPOSED TO HELP AGAINST A MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE! I thought. I must have screamed that out loud too because Grover yelled

"CLICK IT!" I still had no idea how it would help but as I dodged another blow from Ms. Dodds I did what he said. The pen glowed for a split second and morphed into a giant bronze sword! I rolled to the side to avoid slashing claws and swung the sword. All this happened in the span of about five seconds. She flapped her wings to avoid my strike and circled around. I swung again and again I missed! Just then I had an Idea. I lowered the sword and allowed her to fly at me. Just when she was about to hit me I dropped to the ground, and stabbed upwards. She shrieked in pain and fell to the ground. I waisted no time, I ran over to her and stabbed her in the neck. She screeched one more time and burst into a cloud of golden dust. I shook my head. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? I slowly turned around to see Grover and the other kid looking at me.

"DONT JUST STAND THERE STARING AT ME! I JUST GOT ATTACKED BY A FREAKIN FURY! WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!" I screamed. Grover turned to the other guy and whispered

"She's handling it okay, most people pass out."

"I HEARD THAT!" I yelled "YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON BEFORE I LOSE IT!" The guy turned to me and said

"Your right you deserve an explanation."

"HELL YEAH I DO!" I yelled at him

"But not here." He continued, "we will explain on the way." I really wanted to say a few thing right then but I held back. Don't ask me why, I normally state my feelings, but I figured I would have plenty of time to do that later. I just nodded and allowed them to lead me down the hall and out of the school. Hey, I thought It cant be all bad if I get to skip school. When we stepped onto the parking lot.
