I appear out of nowhere

Hi there. My name is Maeve. I usually live in upstate New York. Unfortunately that changed when the gorgons came after me. I didn't know what gorgons were until one came right up to my face and its rank breath decided to make me gag. Here's the story... So it was a normal day at Prime Valley Middle School. I was hanging out with my friend Saige {who, by the way is the only other person on this planet who seems to understand me} under our tree of awesomeness at lunch. All the cool kids {meaning everyone but me and Saige} were in their usual huddles. Saige and I spoke about Greek mythology and our struggles with ADHD, because they are the two things we have in common. Saige asked me if I'd ever seen a gorgon. "Um... No? What's a gorgon?" I asked. "A gorgon is a type of monster thing from Ancient times," she said calmly. "Well then I obviously have never seen one," I smiled. "You're about to," she said. "I don't want to see your stupid myth-" I began, but Saige leapt to her feet and drew a sword from her skirt pocket. "Whoa, Saige, you know you're NOT meant to bring weapons to school. That's just wrong," I blustered. Suddenly a snake-haired lady came out from the playing field. She ran up to me faster than I could comprehend and I smelt her stale breath, causing me to gaga ferociously. "I got her!" Saige screamed, slicing the gorgons head off. The gorgon crumbled to dust before me. "What just happened?" I coughed. I looked around and noticed that no one had looked to see what was going on. "And why on earth has no one else noticed?" Saige sighed and said "I'll explain later. We have to get out of here!"
