A/N: This is just a random songfic I thought of about how Annabeth feels when Percy starts spending time with Rachel, and I changed the lyrics to You Belong With Me to fit the story. Percabeth versus Prachel! Read and Review! My first songfic so may not be great, but still read please!
Note: I don't own PJO or the song "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. If I did, I can assure you that I would have much more money than I do now. Song lyrics are in bold.
Annabeth was in her cabin late at night. She'd learned that Percy was alive, just when she was about to burn his shroud, so why was she so unhappy? She stepped outside and saw a faint glow coming from the Poseidon cabin. Somehow, she knew that Percy was IMing Rachel. (A/N: I know his fountain is supposed to be destroyed, but let's just pretend he got a new one.) Thinking about Percy and Rachel gave her this weird feeling in her chest. Anger? Fear? Maybe nausea? Nope, it was jealousy.
You're Iris messaging Rachel late tonight
Talking about that new movie she likes
But she doesn't know what you love like I do
I'm in my cabin dreaming about you
And all the funny things that we could do
'Cause no one makes you happy like I do
Really, it wasn't like Annabeth to be jealous. But, as much as she hated to admit it, she really did have some feelings for Percy.
Why does he want to talk to her so much? She's only a mortal. What does she have that I don't? Then Annabeth scowled. Gods, I'm starting to think like a daughter of Aphrodite.
I like reading, she likes painting
She's at school while I'm here training
Waiting for the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me, you belong with me
Then, Percy stepped out of his cabin. Annabeth, without thinking, immediately started smoothing out her bedhead with her hands. Act naturally. Don't be an Aphrodite kid. Think this through.
Percy waved and laughed. "What are you doing out this late?"
Annabeth replied, "Well, what are you doing up?"
"I was, um, talking to a friend." What a seaweed brain.
We walked by the lake one day and I pushed you in
But you stayed dry 'cause you're the son of Poseidon
Looking in your green eyes laughing at you: Percy, can't you see it?
Percy tried to look upbeat, but Annabeth knew he was worried. After all, he seemed to have quests, drama, and that prophecy following him around everywhere.
And you've got a smile that lights up Long Island Sound
I haven't seen it in a while with the war around
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with a mortal like that?
Annabeth reached up to her hair again. She knew it looked silly, her obsessing with her hair all of a sudden, but she wanted to look nice.
You want to look nice for Percy, that annoying voice in her head said.
Shut up, she told the voice.
As if reading her thoughts, Percy said, "Don't worry, you still look cute." Then he blushed. "I mean, you look... good. Yeah, you look nice, Annabeth."
Percy was so cute when he was embarrassed.
I like reading, she likes painting
You're still here and I'm still waiting
Waiting for the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Can't you 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 and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me
"Percy, I need to tell you something." Annabeth began. Then she stopped, because she just couldn't tell Percy how she felt. Not now, anyway.
"What is it?"
"Well, um- Percy, do you want to go see a movie with me this weekend?" Man, that was not at all what she had planned to say.
I remember Mount St. Helens where I kissed you goodbye
All the times I've helped you out and the times you've saved my life
We travel all around and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think you know where you belong, think you know it's with me
To Annabeth's surprise, Percy just smiled. "I'd love to see a movie. How about that new Clash of the Titans?"
She laughed. "Why, when we have our own clash of the Titans right here?"
"I'm taking that as a yes, Wise Girl."
Can't you 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 and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me
Percy said, "I have to go soon. Chiron will be looking for me." He waved goodbye, turned around, and walked back to his cabin. Annabeth watched him leave, thinking that maybe, just maybe, things would be all right. They did have a date planned, after all.
