A/N: First fanfic, so I'm relatively sure that it sucks. But I don't care. I might do better one day.
Flames are whatever to me, so send them if it brings you joy.
Reviews are like friend requests. They make me happy.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. Rick Riordan does. Selfish jerk. I also don't own the following songs: I Won't Say I'm In Love rerecorded by the Cheetah Girls; I Need You Bad by Jazmine Sullivan; Sent From Heaven by Keisha Cole; We Belong Together by Mariah Carey; Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis or Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson. Shoot, I don't own a daggone thing. I probably don't own the fingers I used to type this up. Dang.
Annabeth's POV
"No chance, no way, I won't say it, oh no…"
Ugh. Stupid song. Why would Silena think I'd like this?
"If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I've already won that…"
The song has no meaning, no depth. Just some stupid girl…
"No man is worth the aggravation. That's ancient history, been there done that."
…making a guy she likes pay for her past…
Oh, my gods. "SILENA!"
"Wassup?" Silena greeted me as she popped her head into my cabin.
"Is there any specific reason that you made me promise to check out this song?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
"Of course not! I don't think through things like how it would force you to recognize feelings for Percy. I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, not Athena!" I don't know how she managed it, but she made the entire statement with a smile on her face. Only the stupid, cheesy song played as I considered appropriately rude responses.
"No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no. You swoon you sigh, why deny it, oh-oh. Its too cliché, I won't say I'm in love."
"Well," I started, "good, because it didn't make me think at all. That would be a stupid idea anyway. The song is completely meaningless!" I finished with a less than convincing chuckle at the idea of harboring feelings for Seaweed Brain. Even if he is brave and funny, with perfect eyes. And his hair…
Thank the gods Silena drew out of my own thoughts. "Why didn't you just cut the song off then?" By now the song was over and had been replaced by a new song.
"I need you bad as my heartbeat (bad as the food I eat), bad as the air I breathe (baby I want you bad)…" I changed the station and the song changed to a slow one, by Keisha Cole. "I wanna be the one you love-" Switch.
"We belong together…" Switch.
"I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you-" Switch!
"Never ever feel rejected," I could deal with this one. "Little miss self sufficient, what happened? She fell in love."
"Oh my gods!" I screamed in frustration.
"I thought I mentioned that this radio only plays love songs, regardless of the station," Silena smirked. "This station should be less painful!" She said as she switched the station and ran from the room.
I saw Percy walk by my cabin, on his way to sword practice. I thought about our friendship, and how close we'd grown. I thought about everything we'd been through together, and I sang along with the end of the song on the radio, the one I'd promised to finish anyway.
"At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love."
A/N: Very short, but I don't believe in unnecessary longsuffering. I'd appreciate reviews. I do actually plan on writing a better one. J
