You aren't meant to like Clarisse in the Lightning Thief, remember? Rick wrote it that way because she was meant to be a bully, that's her role. No matter if you like her or not (which you aren't supposed to...at least until the later novels) she should still be in the movie because it was written that way and she has many accomplishments to her behalf later in the series.
