Percy's PoV

Thalia and Annabeth are sitting on my side, looking out the window, while Sally and I are singing 'Good King Wenceslas' when the car comes to a halt.

Outside is a huge building that looked like a villain's castle, with roofs covered in snow and the ground surrounding it freezing. "Don't forget your sweater, Percy! And your pocket watch," Sally said to me.

Pocket watch, you might ask. Well, as I am from the late 1800s and early 1900s, I am
used to the pocket watch.

After making sure we don't forget anything, we said goodbye to Sally and entered the building.

The building is the Westover Hall, a boarding school in Maine, where Grover had been waiting for them.

Westover hall looked like a castle. It has tall towers, and it's located near the shore. Honestly, it looked like the Bodiam Castle.

As we entered, the door shut, two people, a man, and a woman entered the lobby.

"Who are you three? What are you doing here?" The male asked
with a thick French accent.

His accent is weird — but not shocking. I'm pretty used to French peoples at the trenches talking like that, but his looks made it scarier

Thalia did something shocking. She flicked her fingers. I felt as if suddenly wind blows from her hand, spreading around the room.

"But we're students, sir. You remember? I'm Thalia, this is Annabeth and Percy. We're in the 8th grade," Thalia stated.

"Mrs. Gottschalk, you know them?" He asked his colleague.

Even though the situation is dangerous, I still have to bite my tongue so I don't laugh. A teacher named Got Chalk? He's got to be kidding.

"I... I think so, Mr. Thorn. Thalia, Percy, Annabeth, what are you doing out of the Gym?" Mrs Gottschalk questioned.

That's when Grover came. "Guys! You did it! You- Mrs. Gottschalk, Sir," He exclaimed.

"What do you mean, they did it? Arrive here? They lived here!"

"I mean, they did it! They made the fruit punch! It's really good!" Grover exclaims, making up an excuse.

I got tired of looking at them, so I looked at the surrounding. A lot of old banners decorated the wall, knight armors lined at good intervals. Weapons lined another side of the wall. I see a Webley, a Lewis gun, a Lee Enfield, and other weapons that I don't recognize. Swords, bows, and halberds are also by the wall.

"-return to the Gym." I heard Mrs. Gottschalk end her sentence. We then left for the Gym.

I'm too lazy to write the things between Annabeth and Percy's dance and them leaving the lobby. Anyway, here's the end for today. Sorry if there are any discrepancies between the start and the book, either I'm lazy or the fact that I used the Indonesian version of Titan's Curse cuz I'm Indonesian. By the way, happy new year to all!
