Suit yourself.' Sadie shouldered her pack, then helped Annabeth up. 'You say Carter drew a hieroglyph on your boyfriend's hand. All well and good, but I'd rather stay in touch with you directly.'Annabeth smirked. 'You're right. Can't trust boys to communicate.'They exchanged cell-phone numbers.'Just don't call unless it's urgent,' Annabeth warned. 'Cell-phone activity attracts monsters.'Sadie looked surprised. 'Really? Never noticed. I suppose I shouldn't send you any funny-face selfies on Instagram, then.''Probably not.''Well, until next time.' Sadie threw her arms round Annabeth.

In this excerpt from "The Staff of Serapis" by Rick Riordan, Sadie helps Annabeth after a conversation about communication through technology. Sadie learns that Carter has drawn a hieroglyph on Annabeth's boyfriend's hand, but she expresses a preference for direct contact with Annabeth instead. They exchange cell phone numbers, but Annabeth warns Sadie about the risks of using cell phones, saying that it could attract monsters.
Sadie is taken aback by this warning, humorously considering her use of social media. Despite the dangers, there is a sense of camaraderie between the two characters as they prepare to part ways, with Sadie giving Annabeth a warm hug before they go their separate ways, highlighting the developing friendship between them against the backdrop of their extraordinary adventures.
