Drew had never been inside of the Athena cabin but gods it was boring, beds were all pressed against walls and the cabin seemed like one big library mixed with a workshop for arts and crafts. One thing she like about the cabin...it was quiet, all the sounds from outside had no chance at penetrating the walls of the cabin, it was the perfect place to do makeup, or sleep, or in the case of a child of Athena, study. Which is what she found Malcolm doing in the far corner of the room sitting at a desk.

"Gods your posture is horrible." Drew stated nonchalantly causing the blonde to sit erect then turn in his chair towards her. His expression was almost intimidating, he raised a brow but the rest of his face remained void. His stormy gray eyes analyzed Drew intensely, however it was not in the way most boys did. He wasn't looking at her, he was looking through her.

"Drew? asked with a hint of confusion. "Can I help you?"

Drew smiled rolling a chair behind herself and crossing her legs as she sat.

"I'm so glad you asked hon." Drew said as if Malcolm had removed cinder blocks from her shoulders.
Wasting no time Drew began.

"My cabin it's on the verge of being ruined...don't you think?" Drew asked in the form of a statement, leaning in towards the boy. Malcolm rubbed his chin looking towards the ceiling of his cabin, this was probably the most expression Drew had ever seen from him.

"No, I don't actually." Malcolm answered starkly resulting in Drew folding her arms and lean back in her seat with a pout. He then continued apathetic towards her response.

"The answer you're looking for would be yes I suppose. You've been removed from leadership rather forcefully and from what it seems you and Piper are very different so her leadership style would immediately set you off. Am I right?" Malcolm asked looking at her directly in her eyes.

Drew had the urge to shut down mentally, how did he know so much already she had literally just entered the cabin a minute ago.

"Well yes, your correct but...wait listen hun I could care less about being the cabin leader...It's just my siblings are siding with her and her new plans so quickly, like they were happy with my demotion." Drew said breaking eye contact with the son of wisdom.

"They were afraid of you." Malcolm replied as if the statement were a well known fact. Drew's mouth dropped and she placed a hand over her heart.

"What makes you say such a thing?" She asked sincerely a very new trait from her in Malcolm's opinion.

"Your form of leading is that of a dictator, what you say, is law with little regard to the opinions of others, probably a result of exercising your charm speak at young age. That on top of being a daughter of Aphrodite could have messed up your idea of friendship and many other social function." Malcolm answered as if he were talking to himself, as if the thought was recycled in head from the beginning of their conversation.

"So there's something wrong with me?" Drew asked accusingly.

"I didn't say that."

"But you thought it."

"I think a lot of things."

Drew was annoyed now.

"You know what Malcolm. I thought you would understand, I heard that you were the smartest guy at camp but I'm starting to think I shouldn't have come here." Drew said now standing, staring the boy in his eyes again. Malcolm exhaled.

"Drew, you have to work on yourself, simple as that. You can sometimes be selfish, vain, and rather mean. You don't care that your siblings are against you. It's that suddenly your way...isn't the only way. You don't control the system and you've never had to deal with that." Malcolm said with no intent of harm in his voice. There was a brief moment of silence.

"If you want to improve, and be happy along with the rest of your cabin. Understand that everything isn't about you, you don't have to stand out all the time." Malcolm finished looking at Drew as to say it was her turn. Drew looked at him for a few more seconds then with no other words turned to leave.

"Goodbye nerd." Tanaka said sharply opening a door as another son of Athena walked confused as Drew pushed past him.
