Chapter 4

I opened the large dark oak doors to the library. A huge room full of shelves from top to bottom, left to right. I wasn't really into reading.

I found Matt in the reading corner covered with pillows and bean bags. He was buried in a book called Heroes of Olympus - The Blood of Olympus.

"Hey." I said. Matt didn't budge. "Um... Matt. I'm here, Charlotte told me to meet you here."

He was still too engrossed in his book. I rolled my eyes and whacked the book out of his hands. "Hey! What was that for Flake?!"

He looked up. "Oh, hey Jay."

"Jay?"

He ignored me. "You owe me one. You missed my page!"

"Who cares? Charlotte said you wanted to take me to my dorm or something?"

"Are you into reading?" Matt stood up.

"If you get to ignore me, I get to ignore you."

"You're feisty today." He bent to pick his book up. "I like to nickname people. I call Blake; Flake." Answering my question from before.

There was a moment of silence. "Explanation please?"

"When I was about six and he was seven we were making Christmas decorations. Ms Dunce came in with a box of Cadbury Favourites chocolates. I chose Flake and he chose Picnic. When I was done with my chocolate I used a glue stick and stuck the Flake wrapper to the back of his shirt. He didn't even notice. Until dinner time when my father asked him what it was doing there. I just cracked up so hard."

"That's cute." I commented. "Now come on show me to my room."

"Nope. You have to tell me if you're into reading first."

"No, I'm not going to."

"You still owe me one, so... I want you to read this and tell me what you think of it." He walked over to a shelf and picked out a book for me. The title read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

"Seriously? You can't force me to read a book I'm not interested in."

"Give it a try."

"Fine." I took the book off him as I followed him out of the library.

After walking down many corridors, which I would probably get lost in, we arrive in a short corridor with ten doors placed evenly on each side.

"Here is the hallway of bedrooms for the people who live here. There's another area for guests and visitors." Matt explained as we continued down the corridor.

"You get guests?" I asked.

"Occasionally, around every 5 years. There's other Hunters in other countries, Jay."

"Countries?" I didn't know what is was but I had heard of it. "Is it like different regions in the world or something?"

He didn't answer.

We stopped at the sixth door on the left.

"This is your room." Matt announces as he opens the door. "Ladies first."
