love how percy and annabeth became friends tbh. they absolutely hated each other to the ends of the earth for like 200 pages (and when i say hated each other i mean he almost sacrificed her to medusa and she used him as bait in capture the flag), and then for the next 100 pages they're obviously good friends, because you can only save someone's life so many times before accidentally bonding. but percy still. has not knocked it into his head that they are friends now and is 100% confident that annabeth still hates him. she straight up tells him in the back of a truck that they're hitchhiking to LA "we're friends you idiot" because she knows she needs to verbally confirm it and he's just like "oh cool" and Boom. platonic codependency for like 4 years until Grover presumably punches Annabeth as they bake percy's 16th birthday cake and says "would you fucking get together already"
