First impressions matter. Experts say we size up new people in somewhere between 30 seconds and two minutes.

Athena's POV

I walked into the Main hall as Billy called it and the reactions of the people in it were priceless. I mean when they saw me their jaws dropped and all conversation I had heard outside was silenced. I kinda wished I had a camera, their faces were just priceless. Everyone was still except a guy who was jumping up and down in his seat, well at least someone's glad I'm here.

I survey my new class mates but keep my face expressionless. Nobody here looks like a delinquent, well neither do I to be honest.

I focus my attention back on the glaring teacher in front of me. He wasn't old in the sense maybe middle aged but his hair had greyed probably from the stress of looking after delinquents 24 hours a day.

He gives me a once over and glares at the fact that I slightly modified the uniform. "Are you Athena Grayson?" He asks a little disbelief shining in his voice.

"Nope Rebecca Townsley nice to meet you sir. I was kidnapped by this guy and threatened to pretend I was some girl called Athena. I mean she's probably an amazing girl but it's still wrong to impersonate someone I'm not." He looks at me as if I have two heads, does he actually think I'm serious?

I don't know exactly when or why that UFO dropped all these stupid people on this earth but it appears they aren't coming back for them. Lucky me.

Sometimes I truly love sarcasm

"So, you are Miss Grayson?" He asks clarifying. I roll my eyes and curtsey, bowing my head to hide my laugh trying to hide my laugh. "Last time I checked."

Billy then pulls out my file from earlier and hands it to the teacher. I'd be totally lying if I said I didn't want to have a look at it. Too bad he won't let me see.

After a few seconds, it hit me. What am I talking about? I can totally take a look. I mean technically it's not illegal it's a file all about me after all. Smiling, I swiftly take the file from the head masters loose grip and jump up onto the little stage they have built. Aww cute. Wow I'm feeling really sarcastic today, aren't I?

"Miss Grayson hand that back. You are not allowed to look through that" The head master yells following me onto the stage. I turn to look at the middle-aged man, "You can have it back if you catch me."

I leap onto the back of one of the benches the students were sitting on. "I think it's time to have little fun." I smirk looking at all the scared students faces underneath me.  I laughed and jumped onto the second row, the girl closest to me looked like she was about to wet herself.

"Miss Grayson!" Billy yelled trying to catch up to me. I ignored him jumping onto the next row.

"Name: Athena Hope Grayson. Well at least you got my name correct." I started walking the back of the bench as if it were a balancing beam but I never once looked up from the file.

I was now standing above the jitterish boy I saw earlier. He was grinning like mad at me and I winked at him in return. There was a hint of craziness behind his green eyes, maybe he was just as insane as me.

I continued jumping across the little isle that separated both sides of the benches. "Age: 17."

I then jumped over a small girl's head to the bench behind her. "Class 6+." There were a few loud gasps and a couple people started whispering. I'm guessing being in 'Class 6+' is not a good thing.
