~Percy~

For the next few hours I just sat in the compartment only pretending to listen to the others, but really I was thinking about Annabeth. Although I had only been away from her for hours I missed her so much that it hurt. But I knew she would be coming in less than two weeks and that made me happy.

I hadn't even realised how long we had been on the train until Ron said to me, "aren't you going to change into your robes?"

"Uh um, I don't have robes," I said, "I don't think that I have to wear them."

"Oh okay, well we're almost there, you can leave you're trunk here with the rest of your stuff," Ron said.

I looked out of the window and my first thought was 'oh my god, Annabeth will love this place!' my second though was 'oh yes theres a lake!'

The train stopped and we all exited the train. I saw a massive guy who reminded me of Tyson.

A lump appeared in my throat and I gulped it down. The big man was shouting, "First years over here!"

I assumed that meant me so I walked over to him, as I passed everyone stared at me, but I ignored them, Iwas used to people staring at me.

When I walked up to the man he looked me up and down and said, "you must be the exchange student, Perseus Jackson?"

"Percy," I replied

"Okay, FIRST YEARS FOLLOW ME!" He shouted.
