Annabeth believed in soulmates, she always had. She believed that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs and a single head with two faces. Annabeth believed that Zeus had feared the humans and split them into two, so they had to spend their life to search for their other half. She believed in this, because she was who she was. She was a demi-god, she believed in Greek myths, why wouldn't she believe in this?
Most of her friends in the mortal world, made fun of her. It's just myths, they would say.
It wasn't like Annabeth could tell them that those myths, as they called it, was indeed true. So she kept silent.
She was smart. It was in her genes. No one had ever questioned her intelligence. Not before he came.
Her siblings did not understand it, they just didn't. How could they? It was not like any of them was challenged by anyone.
She had to admit that she admired him. His bravery, his loyalty, everything about him. Just him.
Of course, she knew he wasn't on the best terms with her mother, but did that really matter?
He had humor, he could be smart, he was handsome – he was everything she ever wanted!
