You know what I hate about having friends, they call you as soon as they wake up.

"Medusa, is that a good prologue?" James said through the other end of the phone.

"Uh huh." I managed to utter out.

I wondered how long until James realised I wasn't actually paying attention. A sea of grey hugged my body, black pillows cushioned my head. My dirty blonde hair was splayed over the cushions and half of it was in my face. Should I just hang up? However I would then have to deal with his dramatics about it at school. My feet pulled me towards the shower one foot in front of the other. My head ringing from how loud James was.
"Look man I'm gonna go take a shower. I'll talk to you later." I said as my finger hit the hang up button.

By the time I pulled into the school parking lot, James was waiting for me. I rolled my blue eyes and walked past. Why does he insist on pushing his ridiculous story on me? His blue beanie bounced up and down on his head as he ran after me. I picked up my pace and he did too. I was practicality running in my boots. Damn. Leave me alooooone. I hate people. They. Never. Shut. Up.
"Meddy!" James yelled.
For fuck sake.
"Meddy!"
I swear the next time this peasant yells out my nam-
"Med-"
I stopped and held out my dark arm and he ran straight into it. Clothes line bitch.
"Ow." He muttered rubbing his nose.
Stupid big nosed oaf. Now I made a scene in the middle of the halls. People's eyes bore into all sides of my head as I walked away from James lying on the floor. Why do I even still let him get away with irritating me? Anyone else and they would soon know not to. Whatever.

I shrugged the thought off and continued on my way to my locker annoyingly next to James who's father PAID the school to have it next to mine. Ugh I don't even need any of this. When was the last time I even bothered to study. Oh right. 1200 AD. Why can't this stupid countries government not care? Ugh. I do that a lot don't I... eh. Oh well. Not the strangest thing I do. Like talk to myself in my head. Like a mental person. Although it has been argued that I am mental. By many people for many years. Who knows. Who cares. I hate it. That and I miss my dad. I remember watching him leave the house in his toga to go to parliament.

A stray tear slipped from my eye and I wiped it off with the back of my hand. I stared out the window into the forest. As weird as it is that there's a school in the middle of the forest, it was the only one that seemed suitable for me.

"Morning class." Stephen called out from the front of the class.

Everyone else called him Dr. Fawn, since that was what we were supposed to call him but I don't. He gets annoyed and I get lectured but in the end I couldn't care less.

"Today we are studying Greek mythology. Today we start with the greek gods."

Ugh. We had been learning about the Greeks for AGES. When are we going to be finished.

"Medusa. Since your name is from ancient Greece care to tell us the names of all the gods?" Stephen asked from the front of the room.

I rolled my eyes. Why does he always get me to participate? Or at least he tries. I glared at him from the back row and he quickly nodded and asked another student.

"Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Persephone, Ares, Athena, Dyonisus, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis and Hephaestus." Said a high pitched scratchy blonde.

That's Sandy. Gods I hate her. She sucks up to Stephen. I get it. He's kinda attractive. Tall athletic. Blonde hair. Tan and blue eyes that can pierce straight through you. Just like my father. I sighed and went back to staring out the window.

I pulled my black hoodie over my head and decided to sleep in the back of the class. Not as though Stephen is going to do too much about it. That was until James walked in the room. Ugh. Why.
