That's great that you have a career goal in mind! Perhaps you can speak to your guidance counselor about that. He or she may suggest taking some science courses such as biology, chemistry and physics (x-ray tech students traditionally take 'technical physics' while [or as a prerequisite] in the program/college).
For US colleges and universities: www.utexas.edu/world/univ
For more general career info -- US occupational outlook handbook: www.bls.gov/oco and search 'xray technician' or 'radiologic technologist'.
On a different note, please stay away from dangerous behaviors such as using inhalants ('huffing' fumes) and engaging in 'the choking game' as they are both potentially very deadly and/or disabling. For more info on the dangers of huffing -- National Inhalant Prevention Coalition: www.inhalants.org Please take good care, and preserve your brain :)

Anatomy & physiology and physics are good classes to take to prepare. FYI, the correct term is radiologic technologist, not x-ray technician.
Good luck :)
