"Hey mom?" I yelled from the living room.
"Yes?"
"Oh, how do I put this... Artemis Fowl is going to my school and invited me to his manor... is that OK?"
"Sure... just take your phone."
"See you later?" And I skipped out the door.
I ran to Artemis' car. He was leaning against the side, like a normal teenage boy.
"What did she say?" He asked eagerly.
"She said sure." As I reached for the door he said,
"You want to drive?"
"Uh, sure."
"Well, c'mon, then!" He smiled.
"Dang, you got a long driveway!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, well, it is a manor."
"Right."
"Just park it over there."
" 'K." I parked it next to a tall oak tree with twisting branches.
"That was better than me, Kat!" He put his hand on mine, but quickly withdrew when he noticed that I was blushing. "Come on, let's go in. Mom will love you."
With that we walked in.
"Whoa!" My eyes got as big as saucers. "It looks even bigger on the inside!"
"Thanks." Artemis said. "Let's introduce you to Butler and the others. Follow me." I followed him up the stairs into a room, a surveillance room. "Butler, I would like you to meet someone." The huge figure sitting in a spinning chair turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Butler, this is Kathrin, or Kat."
"Nice to see you making friends, Artemis." The man said in gravely tones.
"One can't go to a school full of such lively characters without befriending them." He glanced at me.
"You should introduce Kathrin to Angeline."
Artemis smirked. "Do you think I would forget?"
"Not really."
"Come on, Kat." And we went to the gardens.
