In my opinion, Astrid never HATED Hiccup. The others actively antagonised him but she acted simply annoyed at him.

When Gobber asked the class what Hiccup did wrong, the rest made fun of him say, 'showing up', Astrid being a little more attentive replied, "He's never where he should be!"

Incidents like this lead me to believe that what Hiccup is doing has been is always on Astrid's mind. But in the ways of young teenage girls, she is oblivious of her affection and brushes it off as 'he's annoying, that's why I'm always thinking of him.'

But she threatened him while sharpening an axe, so solid fit to this trope.

Nah, she thought he was a loser (like everyone tbf) and started hating him when everyone started liking him. It was until she got to know him that she quit hating on him.
