She was excited, beyond excited if that was even possible. Her heart was still racing despite the fact that she was sitting still. Her hands wound around one another with each passing street the old truck took. Her siblings would arrive in luxury, one of the family cars dropping them off just before the train station. One of the staff would help them with their things, and they'd start the year barely lifting a finger. Not that missing out on that bothered Maria, especially if it meant avoiding the snide comments they'd no doubt send her way.<br/><br/>They didn't want to be seen with her, and that suited her just fine. Jake the head grounds keeper was more than happy to give her a ride to the train station. The older man was one of the people that helped ease the hardships of Maria's life. As distasteful as her family would have thought it, Maria was rather close to all the family's staff. "You keep wiggling over there and you're going to wobble right out your seat." Jake teased Maria with a smile. "I'm just excited is all, I have been waiting for this for what feels like forever," she spoke in a warm tone and took a deep breath.<br/><br/>Her hands smoothed down her skirt as she tried to calm herself. "I can tell," he said with a laugh as he turned into the station. "Ok we are here sweetie...it's time," Jake said as he parked and looked at Maria. She looked at the train station watching other people bustle in and out. She knew it was the start of something amazing, it had to be. "You're going to be great kid," Jake said reaching over and patting Maria on the shoulder. He could see the worry in her eyes but knew she had so much potential within her that she couldn't fail. Specially when leaving finally meant that she would get some freedom from her family.<br/><br/>"Great...yeah." she nodded and finally looked back to Jake and moved to get out of the truck and start grabbing her things. Jake moved to help and got all her stuff loaded on a small trolley so it would be easy for her to push. In truth, Maria had most everything she owned with her, at least anything that meant something to her. "All right come in for a hug." Jake held his arms out wide so Maria could move in for a hug. "Be good old man, and don't do anything I wouldn't." she teased and gave him a peck on the cheek before turning towards the train platforms.<br/><br/>Finding the wall she needed to run through was thankfully easy as there were other students passing through it. "A running start...just take a running start," Maria spoke to herself before taking a breath and darting forward and through the wall. Laughter filtering through the air as she made it to the other side and found herself standing on the platform 9 3/4. "This is so amazing," she said with a smile before moving down to the loading area. She handed over her things and made sure Franky was going to be ok before carrying a small messenger bag with her onto the train.<br/><br/>Maria didn't think there were any real assigned seats, so she slipped into the first room she found and sat down. Again her hands fidgeted in her lap, and her teeth gripped at her lower lip. She abused the small bit of flesh as nervous energy worked through her system. But as others piled in she smiled and said hello and tried to spark up some conversation just as the train whistle sounded off and the start of her journey began.<br/><br/>After a little while people started to move about the train, they came and went out of the little cabin Maria had claimed when first arriving on the train. After a bit sitting still just became too much, so Maria stood up and slipped out of the room if only to look around. Heck if she was lucky she'd come across that candy trolley she had heard the others mention.
