"Hey, Grover" Malcolm beckoned from behind the climbing wall
"What's up?" Grover asked casually
"You know Percy totally friendzoned Annabeth right?"
"What? I don't really think so, I think she friendzoned him with the whole Luke thing"
"Dude no, look at what I found" Malcolm said holding out a piece of paper
Grover took the paper from Malcolm, his eyes bugging out as he read it.
"Oh my gosh," he said so engrossed he didn't notice a slight rustling in the bushes
"Yeah seriously, "Malcolm said, "Oh snap, I've got to run, we're meeting the Demeter and Poseidon cabins to plan for capture the flag. But remember, you never saw me, we didn't talk, if anybody sees this, Annabeth will kill everyone"
"The Poseidon cabin? Don't you mean, 'Percy'?"
"Whatever, see you later" Malcolm said walking away
"Annabeth will kill everyone huh? Sounds interesting" Travis said to Connor from behind the bushes
"What could be? Baby pictures?"
"A love letter?"
"A confession that Annabeth is secretly in love with me?" Connor said dramatically putting his hand on his heart
"Yeah, in your dreams dude,"
"If not that, than what?" Connor asked jokingly
"Only one way to find out," Travis said adopting the sly grin unique to the children of Hermes.
They tailed Malcom back to the Athena cabin and watched as he tossed the paper in a drawer. Waiting until he was long gone they snuck in, not making a sound. One kept lookout as the other opened the drawer and took the paper, careful not to disturb anything else, a less experienced thief might be tempted to read it right there, but they knew better. They waited until they were safely in their cabin before reading.
"You Belong With Me"
by Taylor Swift Annabeth
You're on the phone with the redhead
She's obsessed
She's going on about something that you said
She doesn't get your duties
Like I do
I'm in my room it's a typical Tuesday night
My mind is wandering to you instead of planning
The fight
She'll never know your story
Like I do
She's got humor
I wear armor
She's real artsy
And I wield a dagger
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by you waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Perceeeeeeeey you belong with meeeeee, you belong with me
Walk into camp with you and your orange tee
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Fighting in a dirt trench thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy
And you are the hero that will rescue the whole world
I haven't seen you in a while since you met that girl
You say you're fine I know you better than that
Hey what you doing with a girl like that
(Chorus)
I remember we were fighting side by side by side
We were holding up the sky
You're the one who makes me laugh when I know I'm 'bout to cry
You think I'm never wrong, so you tell me 'bout you dreams
Think I know where you belong think I know it's with me
(Chorus)
"Oh my gods" Travis said turning to Connor, "We have to tell someone"
"Dude, we have to tell everyone"
-Several Hours Later-
"No Percy, we cannot jump the canoe over the pier, it's dinner time, we have to get to the pavilion"
"No, no, no I can do it really fast" Percy said accelerating
"Percy" Annabeth said giving him "the look"
"Fine," Percy said turning towards shore, before muttering "killjoy"
"Come on Percy, be reasonable, we have to-" She was interrupted by a huge wave washing over the canoe, she was soaked, but of course, Percy was perfectly dry "Percy!"
"What? I didn't do anything, Mr. Wave didn't want to be reasonable" He said as they pulled onto the shore
"Well then, you can sit with Mr. Wave at karaoke" She said getting out of the boat
"Annabeth wait," he said getting out of the boat and pulling her into a hug "Mr. Wave is sorry"
She hugged him back, feeling the chill of the water leave, and realizing he was drying her off "I guess I can forgive Mr. Wave"
Percy grinned and they headed to the dining pavilion hand in hand.
"Look at them, so sweet" Connor gushed sarcastically as Percy and Annabeth reluctantly separated to go to their separate tables, then afterward tried to make it look casual as they got chairs and sat right next to each other for karaoke.
Annabeth wasn't really paying attention while Nico whined, sorry, sang, "I'm Just a Kid and My Life is a Nightmare", and tuned out Lacey singing a song by some cheesy pop band. She barely noticed when Travis and Connor took the stage, but then they took the mic and said "This next song is dedicated to everyone's favorite couple"
"Percabeth!" The Aphrodite cabin squealed
Percy and Annabeth's heads shot up, they wouldn't have been terribly surprised if one of the Aphrodite campers had said something like that, but coming from the Stolls, they were definitely up to no good.
Music began to play and projected on the screen it said "You Belong With Me, by Annabeth Chase"
"Annabeth, you wrote a song? Why do you look like you want to kill someone?" Percy asked
Travis began singing very badly, "You're on the phone with the redhead she's obsessed"
Connor continued, no better "She's going on about something that you said"
"I'm gonna kill them" Annabeth said starting to get up
"No," Percy said holding her down, "I wanna hear this"
"Me too," Piper said, pinning Annabeth's other arm
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time! Travis sang in a falsetto
"Now I'm going to kill you all" Annabeth growled
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
"Apparently except Percy," Clarisse teased
Standing by, waiting by your back door
Rachel walked up and laid her hand on Annabeth's arm "It's OK, I'm not interested" she said reassuringly
Annabeth redoubled her efforts to escape, thrashing wildly.
I remember we were fighting side by side
We were holding up the sky
"Gee if looks could kill, you won't need this" Leo said slipping her dagger from her belt
After the song ended, Annabeth calmed down, "Ok guys I'm calm, you can let me go now"
They relaxed their grip cautiously, then when she showed no signs of flying back into a rage, they let go and joined in the rest of the group's laughter. Annabeth got up, and dusted off her shirt. Then when most of them were out of arms reach, with surprising speed, she snatched Katropis from Piper's belt, leapt onto one of the benches, and, pointing the dagger at Travis declared "Alright, heads are gonna roll!" At that everyone scattered.
She took one step forward before she felt herself being lifted off the ground, "PERCY! Put me down!"
He ignored her and instead elected to jump in the lake. Moments later they surfaced, her flustered and sputtering, him calm and of course, completely dry.
"Annabeth," he said, "You don't need to kill Travis and Connor"
"Yes I do!" She said starting to swim to shore before being knocked back by a wave
"See, Mr. Wave agrees you shouldn't kill them"
"Oh my gosh Percy! You and Mr. Wave!" She said trying to look irritated, but not succeeding.
"What can I say? Mr. Wave just has incredibly good sense." Percy said apologetically "You wouldn't believe how smart waves are getting these days." They both laughed.
"C'mon, let's get you back to your cabin" He said helping her out of the lake.
"I'm still going to kill them." Annabeth said as they walked.
"Hey, I liked it, and for the record, you were right." He said grinning "Besides, you should hear this story about Reyna…
