Annabeth never really pushed anyone away; in fact, she thrived on forming friendships and bonds with those around her. But with you? Oh, you. She didn't hate you, she didn't merely like you... she loved you.

Her feelings for you were so intense that she found herself hesitating at every turn, afraid that she might somehow ruin the perfection she saw in you. As an Athena child, she prided herself on her intellect and logic, but when it came to matters of the heart, she felt lost and vulnerable.

You, on the other hand, were an Aphrodite child - charming, graceful, and effortlessly beautiful. It seemed like the universe had conspired to bring together two souls from different worlds, destined to collide in a whirlwind of emotions.

During lunch one day, you overheard Annabeth talking to Piper about you. Her words were filled with admiration and adoration, revealing the depth of her feelings for you. She spoke of your hair, your eyes, your smile... every little detail that made you so uniquely perfect in her eyes. "But oh god..She's perfect!" Annabeth exclaimed softly, "but noo, I'm a wuss. I'll never tell her I like her."
