My Geography class

I head to my geography class. We have a transfer teacher I believe, her name is Miss Bëji.
I sit down next to Nillia, she's beautiful. Her hair is long and blonde. My wig feels even more ugly sitting next to her.
Across from Nillia, is Maria. You never see those two apart. Apparently, Maria is good at swimming, but no one is one hundred percent sure because she mainly keeps to herself.
Sitting next to her, is a girl whom I recognize as the winner of an art competition. In front of them is Nowah, the boy on the bleachers.
Miss Bëji beckons Maria over. She slowly gets up and walks to the front of the class.
"Please continue with page thirty-seven of your textbooks. Remember to write your answers in your exercise book," Miss Bëji explains with her French accent, "Begin."
I open my textbook, my attention still focused on Maria and Miss Bëji.
Their talking is just outside my hearing range.
"That won't be necessary because I DON'T CHEAT!" Maria bursts.
"This is class B13. Thank you for visiting May Broten High School," I turn to the door and see a blonde haired senior. She flicks her blonde hair over her shoulder and walks out of the room.
Maria gasps and stares straight at the woman standing behind the senior.
I watch as Nillia and Nowah stand up in front of her, Nowah's leg problem apparently forgotten.
The woman has blonde hair, her skin a frighteningly pale shade.
The woman hissed, literally hissed, at Nillia and Nowah but they didn't flinch. "I know it's her, you can't hide her anymore. Those grey eyes give it away."
"Go away Kelli. Not here, not now. There are too many mortals." Nillia stood up straight. Mortals? I find my recorder and press play.
Maria looks confused as the woman, Kelli, gasps.
"You mean, she doesn't know?" Kelli smiles a sickly smile, one that sent shivers down my spine.
"Know what? Nillia, Nowah, what is she talking about?" Maria asks, looking over to Nillia, who doesn't met her gaze.
"Stupid naiad! You thought you could hide her from me but noooo! Kelli knows everything, after all, I'm sure I'd recognize the daughter of my killer." Kelli says. What did she mean naiad? I'm not the best with Greek stuff, but I'm pretty sure that I've found someone related with my mission. It's kinda disappointing that she doesn't glow though.
"Who are you?" Maria asks.
"My dear, I'm Kelli," with that, she turns into something really horrible. I have seen some weird things in my years at S.A.M.A, but nothing compares to this.
She's normal from the waist up but that's where it stops. One of her legs is metal and the other, a donkey's leg.
"You're an Empousa" Maria says. I'll have to agree with that because I have no idea what she is.
"Yesssss, quite a mummy's girl, aren't you!" she hisses back.
Stephanie gets up and runs for the door. "No stop!!" Nowah calls out but it's too late, Kelli and the doorway erupt in flames. I hear a startled scream, then Kelli's mocking laugh.
"Save your friends Maria Jackson, use your father's powers and put out the flame. Or will you think about it like your mother?" Kelli laughed again.
"You knew my parents?" Maria asks.
"Yesssss, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, the two bravest demigods to live. Too bad they were idiots."
"Dem-I-gods?" she stutters.
"Maria you need to use the water, control it, put out the fire, I need to get to my bag." Nillia instructs.
What power? I make connections in my head. Could there be more than one Greek God child here?
The water from the fish tank in the corner flies out, flying over our heads towards the door. It extinguishes the fire and Nillia sprints through.
"Maria, Nillia is going to through you a necklace, don't ask any questions just open the locket and defend yourself, hopefully either Nillia or I will make it out alive and we'll take you to a safe place. Do you understand?" Nowah asks firmly. Maria nods.
Nillia bursts thought the door and throws Maria something.
Maria suddenly has a two-metre-long sword in her hand.
"Maria use it!" Nillia yelped as Kelli lifts a chair and smacks it on the ground, where she was two seconds ago.
Maria points Neró at Kelli. She tries to hit Kelli's stomach but Kelli dodges it, the sword grazing her arm.
"Ooooo! Stupid little girl! Now you die!" Kelli lunges at Maria, her fangs bared. Maria sticks out Neró at the last moment. Kelli gives a confused look and dissolves. Leaving Maria covered in gold dust.
I watch as Nillia pulls Maria out of the room.
"Your, class dismissed," Nowah says leaving the room, his crutches long forgotten. The rest of the class is as confused as I am.
I push my chair out and exit the classroom. I think I've found my Greek people.
