Summary: This Story takes place during Artemis's senior year at St. Bartelby's, where he meets an interesting young girl from America. Most things are going well for the now 18 year old genius, but when an enemy from the past comes back to get revenge things go bad fast.

AN: Rated T for some minor language in later chapters, and some violence in last few chapers. I love the AxH ship but I decided to try something else. AxOC HxT. Takes place after TTP and is if TAC wasn't written. I apologize if the grammar is horrible. I suck at grammar and have no beta.

I OWN NOTHING!

Chapter one: To Sit with a Stalker or a Stranger.

It's the third week of September during Artemis' senior year at St. Bartelby's school for young adults-during Artemis' three year trip through the time stream the all boy's school was integrated with the local girl's school due to lack of students and therefore lack of fund-and we now find the young genius sitting in his fourth period economics class preferring to stare out the window to his right than to listen to the mindless drivel being spouted by Professor Miller at the black board. In the current class hour alone Artemis had spotted four mistakes the good Professor had made while instructing the students on stock market investments.

Artemis pulled himself from his thoughts and began to observe his fellow students. Most were treating Professor Miller as if he didn't exist by texting or daydreaming, a few were even asleep. Artemis' gaze then fell on two boys at the front of the class taking notes and soaking up every word the Professor said as if they were starving dogs and his words a feast. Artemis then spotted a brunet girl sitting one seat ahead of him and three seats to his right who had her nose in a book. Artemis recalled she was a transfer student and her name was Allen, something Allen. He also remembered that she was of intellect, but how intelligent he didn't know. He then turned his head to his left and gave a slight shudder at what he saw. Lillian Henshaw had her head resting in her hand and was staring at him drooling slightly.

Artemis was well aware of the fact that the young girl had a large crush on him, but he did not return the feelings. It wasn't that Lillian was ugly; far from it Lillian who was also a senior, was tall and slender with dirty blond hair and brown eyes that most of the boys in the school loved, Artemis was not one of those boys. She was also one of the prettiest, most popular and well sought after girls in the school, but she was also extremely shallow and to be blunt the girl was as dumb as a post. She was also obsessed with social status. She believed how much money you had determined what kind of person you were, also that those who were in different social classes should not mix. It was these qualities that caused Artemis to think of her as one of the most unattractive people he had ever met. Just then the bell for lunch rang and Artemis was out the door before Professor Mille Could look up.

LUNCH

After putting his economics book in his locker Artemis headed for the lunch room where he ordered a salad and bottled water. As he walked toward the tables he saw Lillian in making her way across the room and heading toward him. Artemis desperately looked around and saw the Allen girl from his economics class sitting alone reading her book and listening to her iPod at a table to his left. He quickly walked over to her and sat down across from her with his back to Lillian and said, "Please just play along." The girl's only response was to look up from her book and raise a questioning eyebrow. Artemis glanced behind him and saw Lillian a few yards away. The brunet in front of him put down her book and paused her iPod to pay attention to the scene before her.

By this point Lillian had reached the table Artemis and the Allen girl were sitting at. Lillian smiled flirtatiously at Artemis and said, "Hey there Artemis. Wanna come and have lunch with me?" while batting her eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry Lillian." He said not sounding sorry at all, and continued "but you see I'm having lunch with…" he trailed off and glanced back at the brunet and saw she had a slight smile on her face, he also noticed a scrap of paper if front of him with the words Rose Allen on it. He then turned his attention back to Lillian "Rose." He finished "I am eating lunch with Rose today

Lillian looked annoyed at Artemis' last statement. "Why would you want to eat lunch with her?" she asked disgusted. "She's just some nobody transfer student from America, plus she's poor. Why don't you come eat with people with the same status as you? Like me!" she said batting her eyes and sticking out her chest.

Artemis looked at Lillian with distaste and spoke in a even, cool voice, "no thank you Lillian, as I said moments ago I have current plans with Rose today and will not be changing those plans because you have once again made your superficial views clear." He turned back to Rose. "Goodbye Lillian." He said making it clear that he was done talking.

Lillian stalked back to her table with and indignant huff, and a flip of her blond hair

Artemis look at Rose who had a amused smile in place, despite the face that Lillian had just insulted her. Once Lillian was out of earshot Rose spoke for the first time. "It would appear you have a fan, Mr. …? She trailed off unsure of his name.

"Fowl." He said "Artemis Fowl II." He then flashed her his trademark vampire smile.

Oddly Rose seemed unfazed by his smile, her amused one still in place as she said, "Well Mr. Fowl as I said it would seem you have a fan, a fan who doesn't like me at all. Odd considering how I most likely have never said more that a handful of words to her." Amusement was clear in her voice and mirth was sparkling in her eyes.

Artemis then noticed by her accent that Lillian was right, Rose was from the U.S. Most likely the somewhere along the west coast, but she also sounded slightly southern. He then took her appearance. Rose had light brown hair that fell to just a few inches below her shoulder blades. She was wearing the school's uniform for the girl's which consisted of; a white long-sleeved button up blouse with a navy blue tie, a navy blue and grey plaid skirt that reached her knees, leggings and black shoes, he also took notice of a black leather wristband she wore on her right hand, in graved in the letter was what appeared to be two intertwined snakes inside a four leaf clover one was holding a dagger in it's tail. It was the logo of the band Flogging Molly. But the thing that interested him the most was her eyes. They were a bright piercing blue that shined with intelligence and seemed to pin him in place when she looked at him, they were fringed by long black eyelashes. He took all this in about her in a few seconds.

Artemis cleared his throat and said, "Well Ms. Allen, I thank you for putting up with that annoyance, but now I will leave you to your book and music." He stood and turned to leave, but he noticed Lillian across the room mirror his movement, so he turned back to Rose and sat down Across from her.

Rose had another amused smile on her face. "Well, Mr. Fowl it would seem I was wrong," she said, "It would appear you have not a fan but a stalker in Ms. Henshaw." Rose who had watched Lillian's actions over Artemis' shoulder, couldn't help but smile at Lillian's infatuation with Artemis.

A smirk crossed Artemis' face and replied, "It would appear so Ms. Allen."

"Please, call me Rose" she said extending her right hand.

He took the offered hand and said, "Very well Rose it is. You may call me Artemis. So since I so rudely dropped in on your lunch I must ask, may I have lunch with you?"

Rose smiled "Please do."

Over the course of the lunch hour Artemis learned quite a bit about Rose. He found out she was seventeen and also in her senior year. She was from a small town in California called Tehachapi. She lived with both her parents there; she also had one older brother and two younger twin brothers.-Artemis could sympathize with her there.-She attended normal schools all her life until last year when it was discovered she had an IQ of 205. She than began to apply for various renown private schools. St. Bartelby's had offered her a full scholarship housing included. She also had a job as a waitress at a new restaurant in Dublin called The Pot of Gold, and she had a small car. She had many interests; sports, music, books, writing, being outdoors, and much more.

Artemis found his liking of the young woman growing as they talked. She had a razor sharp wit, she was a bit sarcastic but he found he liked it. During this time Rose also got to know quite a bit about Artemis. He told her about his parents, his younger brothers, Fowl Manor,-though he didn't tell her where it was exactly- he even told her about Butler and Juliet. As the two talked they discovered they had four classes together; first period English, fourth period Economics, fifth period Art and sixth period P.E. over the next few weeks the pair found themselves spending almost all of their spare time with each other. Each morning he would show up at her dorm and they would walk to their first class together, they would have lunch together, they would then walk to fifth and six period together, during each class they had together they would sit next to each other and then Artemis would walk her back to her dorm, before returning to his own, and they would be having intelligent conversation. The two were becoming best friends.

AN: So here's the first chapter. I hope I kept Artemis in character. Chapter two is already written out, and I'm just waiting for some reviews before putting it up. R&R PLEASE!
