Annabeth instantly starts giving Percy a hard time due to him previously hanging out with Rachel in "The Battle of the Labyrinth". As soon as Annabeth sees Rachel running out of the school with Percy, “her smile melts and turns into a frown.”  She completely ignores Percy’s genuine and honest explanation, and is furious with him for telling a mortal girl about half-bloods, regardless of the extreme circumstances (which she doesn’t even bother to ask about!). Still, the  real   reason she’s upset is because Percy and Rachel briefly hung out, and that they’d meet before… Seriously, if she’s so upset about Percy hanging out with another girl (and they didn’t even hang out properly!), maybe Annabeth should have made her own romantic feelings for him more obvious, since Percy doesn’t understand obvious hints!!! Also, more importantly, Percy wasn’t her boyfriend at that point, and had the right to choose any girl that he wanted, so Annabeth being paranoid about making him love her and her alone, is very selfishly possessive, self-centered and disrespectful. I don't know about you...but I think most people can pretty stupid easily agree that's not severe possessiveness, much less severe possessiveness, selfishness or disrespect lol. Everyone is like that about people they like, especially if they've known them for years and been through a lot together. It's..more than natural. :/ It's how people get together and become lovers. Not to mention that both parties are always feeling that same way about the other. That leaves no room for blame or pinning "selfishness" or "disrespect" or whatever anyways.

Percy shouldn't have told Rachel about what was going on and he could have gotten out alive without telling her lol. Annabeth's not that dumb. Demigod's have gone ages without letting other normal humans in on their secret lives, but all of a sudden Percy is cornered by some girl and just can't get out of it lol...? 0.o
