"Mom, Imma take a walk."
"OK, be back by 7."
I walk out the door with my guy friend Jason. Oh yeah, I'm Kathrin. My friends call me Kat, but only Jason calls me Kitty. I'm 16, and Jason is 15 and a 1/2. I have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I used to wear glasses till I got contacts as a surprise gift from my mom. Jason says he liked me better with glasses. He's all ways so sweet.
We live in Ireland, in the town near the infamous Artemis Fowl. Jason and I walked down to the coffee shop.
"Pretty hot out here." Jason said.
"Let's go get some ice cream."
"Race you there!"
"Wait up!"
BAM!
"Ow..." I said, holding my head. I looked to see who I had run into and I gasped. "Oh god, I'm so so sorry!" It was Artemis Fowl. But diffrent. What the heck was he wearing? Jason looked back to see me helping Artemis up. He ran back to ask,
"Where's Butler?"
I stared at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just ran into the smartest boy in the world, that's what."
"Who are you people?" Artemis asked.
I blushed. "I'm Kathrin, but my friends call me Kat."
"And I'm Jason."
"Just wondering, but why aren't you wearing a suit?"
"My moth- Mom wanted me to wear this."
"I'm REALLY sorry for bumping into you, I just wasn't looking were I was going." I apolagized.
"That's fine, Kathrin." He said.
"You wanna come with us for ice cream?" I asked.
"Sure." He grinned. "That sounds nice."
At 7, I was in my bedroom, talking online with my friend Mady.
This is what it looked like:
numnumkitty: i ran into artemis fowl earlier!
themadyrobot: srsly?
numnumkitty: ikr? he bought me an ice cream
themadyrobot: you know jason lieks u
numnumkitty: ...
themadyrobot: he wantz 2 ask u out
numnumkitty: uh... thx?
numnumkitty: i feel bad now
The next day I saw Artemis at school.
'What the heck?' I thought.
"Oh, hello, Kathrin." He stopped me in the hallway.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
He smirked. "Mom wants me to be more... normal."
"Oh."
"Do you know the way to the Art room?"
"Yeah, here. I have an extra copy of the school map." I shuffled through my binder and brought out a folded paper, and handed it to Artemis. Just then Mady walked by, then backed up.
"Artemis Fowl?" She exclaimed, surprised look on her face. I could swear he blushed, just a little.
"I have to get to my classes. May I sit with you at lunch?" He asked.
"Sure, Marie isn't here today."
And with that he walked off.
In English we went to the library to check out new books. Mady followed me to the Fiction shelf. She had her hands on her hips.
"What Mady?" I sighed.
She smiled. "I think he has a crush."
"Who?"
She rolled her eyes. "Artemis, dum-dum!"
I stared at her. "You CAN'T be serious."
"You just wait." She grinned. Then she picked up a book and walked to the librarian.
