"Hey, Nico, did something feel off to you about Percy's friend Rebekah?" Annabeth asked as the two of them made their way to Percy's apartment after their first day of school.

Nico gave a noncommittal shrug. "I dunno, maybe. I wasn't really paying that much attention to her." He looked down at his feet as he walked and played with the silver skull ring he always wore on his middle finger.

"I just kept getting a really weird feeling around her. It really feels like there's something off about her. Maybe she's a monster. She definitely gives me the heebie jeebies,"

"Are you sure this isn't just because she got you out?" Nico asked.

Annabeth shot him an annoyed look.

"Hey, I'm just saying. It's no secret that you don't like to lose. Are you sure this weird feeling isn't just you not wanting to lose to a mere mortal?"

"I'm pissed because I lost. I'm suspicious because I'm right," Annabeth said, stopping short. "I have had enough experience to know to trust my instincts. If they say she is a monster, I am going to at least be on my guard." She resumed walking again, but she left her hand on her hip, where her Drakon bone sword was hidden.

"Ok. You can tell the other to be on their guard if your so worried," Nico agreed, "but you really shouldn't act on your suspicions. For all we know, she's just a creepy mortal. Innocent until proven guilty."

"Fine," Annabeth replied. She begrudged waiting, but she understood her friend's logic. "This is it." she told Nico. Who had stopped in front of a tall apartment building. Nico nodded and the pair strode inside the building.

"Yeah?" a voice asked from the intercom. Annabeth had impatiently pressed the button three times before she received an answer.

"Hey! It's us," Annabeth responded while rolling her grey eyes at the small white box.

"Oh, come on up," Percy said.

"So . . . You guys never did tell me why you are going to Goode," said Percy. He flopped down on the couch and Annabeth and Nico soon followed suit. Annabeth joined Percy on the couch while Nico claimed a comfy chair.

"Our parents were making us go to school, and everyone figured Goode would be the most convenient option," Annabeth explained. She and Percy were now cuddling on the couch.

"Ohhhh," was Percy's only response to this explanation. He was glad that his friends had come to Goode. It would be nice to have people around who understood what it was like to be a halfblood, and they could help him if there were any monster attacks.

"Your friends seemed nice," Nico commented. Percy nodded, but Annabeth made no response.

"You didn't like them?" Percy asked his girlfriend. He wasn't hurt, but he was curious as to why his mortal friends had received this response from Annabeth. He couldn't expect all of his friends to get along, but it would be preferable.

"They were all right," Annabeth corrected. "I just didn't like Rebekah. Something about her rubbed me the wrong way."

"What do you think is wrong with her?" asked Percy. His eyebrows were furrowed in concern. Annabeth was a powerful demigod, not to mention an experienced fighter. If she thought something was up with Rebekah, they should be careful.

"Don't pay any attention to what she says, Perc," Nico said playfully.

"I thought you agreed with me?" Annabeth argued in order to legitimize her opinion.
