Annabeth's pov

If your going to ask me how we all ended up in this position, I don't know. Yes yes i know, the great Annabeth Chase, Daughter of wisdom doesn't know something? How crazy?! 

Anywho we (hazel, percy, frank, leo, me, piper, jason) were all standing outside of the school that Argus said Sophie attended. 

"Alright, so the plan is simple. Approach sophie and explain all that we know , entrust her to follow us and hopefully get to her before the other people."  I explained. it was simple but with our luck, it wouldnt go smoothly.

"Why did you say it would be simple, now the fates will do all they can in their power to make it HARD!" My seaweedbrain groaned as he stuffed his face into my neck. We all laughed at this.

As we walked through the school scanning for the girl we heard laughter, i wouldn't have been bothered if it weren't for the laughter's tone. It wasnt warm laughing that people make when someone does or says something funny. It was the cold laughing of making a rude joke about someone and teasing them. 

"That doesnt sound very wholesome" frank commented as we followed the sound. The high schoolers gawked at piper jason and Percy as we navigated the school to find the source of the sound.

Finally we rounded a corner to find 2 boys and a girl laughing at a girl with honey blonde hair and brown eyes. "Thats her!" Piper pointed a finger at the sophie

We sent hazel and leo since they were the most unintimidating of the group. While they walked over frank commented "doesnt she look young for high school?"

"Yeah, according to this she is a child prodigy" i said holding out a newspaper that had the front page with her face.

"Where'd you get that?" Percy said as he tried to make out the words on the page, his dyslexia was much worse than mine. " We passed a newspaper stand on the way here" i supplied and we turned back to listening to the bully's conversation with Sophie.
