The train rocked back and forth, making my head softly hit the window. I was on my way to my grandpas friend's house. The only reason I said I would go was that he was a friend of the family. Before I rant to you anymore let me introduce myself. I am Rebecca Edwards. A 16 year old nerd that's as shy as anything. I'm being sent away like most of the other children of London. My mum says the bombings are getting to close and to frequent. The house I was going to was , in my mum's point of view, was an adventure. Now I've been to the professor's house many times but it was by no means an adventure. This time might be different though, there are going to be other children there.

The train stopped with a lurch, sending me into the seat in front of me. I pulled myself up and grabbed my suitcase. I hate trains. The platform was the same as always empty and old. They should really think of redoing it. I was waiting for the train to take off but instead the door opened again, letting four more children on the platform. None of them looked particularly happy. I was never that good at making friends, It was part of the whole "nerd" thing. I looked closer at the children. The smallest was the cutest little girl with short dark brown hair. Next to her was a boy with dark hair. He looked positively miserable. There was a beautiful girl that looked about my age. She had dark hair that ended at her mid back. Then there was a tall boy with litter hair then the rest. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. The littlest girl ran over to me and stuck out her hand.

"My name's Lucy Pevensie, what's yours?" She was so full of energy.

"My names Rebecca, but please call me Becca." I reached out my hand to meet hers. She smiled took my other hand. I could tell that I already had a friend. Its sad but she would be one of my 1st. Making friends isn't easy for me, to shy.

"I'm Susan." Said the older girl.

"Becca…" We shook hands as she spoke again.

"I'm sure were going to be great friends Becca." This was turning out better then I had expected it to. The oldest boy came up to me, I felt my stomach do a flip.

"Peter" He said plainly, but he put out his hand like a gentlemen.

"Becca" I said as I shook his hand. He smiled and I felt my stomach do another flip. Peter nudged his brother who still looked glum.

"Edmond" He said sadly.

"Nice to meet you Edmond." I'm guessing that these are the children that are also staying at the professor's house.

"Do you think he forgot were coming?" Said Susan. The professor may be a little out there but he wouldn't forget about us.

"Maybe we've been incorrectly labeled."

"Were not." I said to Edmond as I smiled at him. Just then there was the sound of a car pulling up to the platform. The four of them went quickly over the stairs only to be passed by. I slowly walked up next to Lucy and watched a rickety old cart stop in front of us.

"Mrs. MacReady?" Peter asked. I could tell he was hopping the answer would be no.

"I'm afraid so…"The unsmiling women paned over us and stopped when she saw me. "Its nice to have you back Becca." And she smiled, witch I must say isn't much better.

We hoped on the cart and road of to the house. As we approached, I looked at the stat of awe on the others faces. Ok so it was more like a mansion. Not fifteen minuets later we were walking through the door into the all to familiar breezeway. Mrs. MacReady started to explain the rules and I walked up to my room. I looked back and they all gave me a questioning look. I've already herd it guys. My bedroom was small but nice. The professor decorated it himself. There were lots of bookshelves and old antiques. In the corner was on old mirror that had belonged to his mother as a teenager. It was positively beautiful. OK so maybe coming here wasn't so bad, I just don't want to leave my mum. I started to unpack when I herd Mrs. MacReady and the others coming down the hall. I listened to there muffled voices.

"Boys room, girls room, bathrooms down the hall there, if you need anything ask me or Rebecca, she's in that room there." A round of thank you's came after this then Mrs. MacReady walked away. I looked into the mirror. I saw Rebecca and her fair complexion, her green eyes and her freckles. I was ok looking. The one thing that I liked most about myself was my hair; golden brown and curly. My body was ok I guess. I wasn't skinny or fat, but curvy and slim. The door opened behind me.

"Becca?" It was Lucy

"Hi Lucy!" She walked into my room and planted her self on my bed.

"Your room is wonderful Becca!" I smiled at her and she took off around the room looking at all the little nick-nacks.

"Lu? Susan's looking for you." Edmond peeked around the door.

"She's in here Edmond." He just stood in the door. "You can come in." Lucy left the room and Edmond walked in looking at all the books.

"You like to read?" He asked with an amused look.

"Yeah"

"Peter makes my read for school. I swear he thinks he's my father." He looked miserable again.

"He is your older brother, he's just trying to look after you…" I didn't feel like getting in the middle of a family feud.

"Edmond, come get your clothes unpacked." Peter called from his room. Edmond rolled his eyes and walked though the door.

"See what I mean…" He mumbled to me. I finished getting unpacked then went to see were Susan was. I walked down the hall and saw the a light in the spare lounge. I looked in, they were in there talking about how much fun they were going to have, or trying to convince themselves of the fun there going to have. I didn't want to bother them right now, and plus I was a bit scared to talk to them. The people at school called me obnoxiously quite and disliked. I was going to slip back into my room when Peter saw me. He was about to say something but I backed away. I walked into my room and got changed. Taking the book of the shelf I heard Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy talking…
