Hey! If you are reading this, that means that you don't hate our work. Awesome! Anyway, its disclaimer time! We do not own Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl, Barbies, or EBay. Or magical flying pixie horses, but hey, that's life.

Dina's POV

"Hey! Newbie!" The annoying know it all with the doctorate raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Celandine? Or do you prefer Dina?" I gave him THE LOOK.

"Dina, if you please. And how do you know my full name?" I disliked him before, but I hated him now. Who does he think he is? Coming here and messing my perfect life up? Okay, my life isn't perfect; I'm not a Barbie (Thank God!)!

"Oh, I purchased a few yearbooks on EBay. Evidently, you've been here since kindergarten."

"Right…" This guy was really creeping me out. He's like…a criminal mastermind or something… I looked at Willow and uhm… wow, half of the seventh grade. They are really light on their feet for clumsy adolescents. Willow opened her mouth. Oh, great.

"Hi Artemis! Or do you like Arty? I think I'll call you Arty. Wow, are you wearing a suit? My dad wears suits when he goes on business trips!" She said this all very quickly.

"Willow, we're leaving."

"But I'm making friends with the newbie!" she whined.

"Well, I don't think he wants friends. Right, newbie?" The annoying kid (fine, Artemis) just looked at me strangely. Willow looked pleased with herself. Oh no. She's going to try to get me to eat again.

"Well, we can leave, you need to eat anyway."

I attempted to make a dignified exit. I even smoothed out my lovely violet blouse, fluffed my red-brown hair and straightened my necklace. Why, at that moment, did my reading buddy from the first grade (cute as she is) choose to come jump on me, knock me over, and make me look like a total idiot in front of the guy I just decided I hated?

Life was beautiful.

"Hey! Dina!"

I turned to see Willow running after me. I sprinted (which is not something I do often for the record) to our meeting spot, otherwise known as 'The Stump'. She caught up with me quickly and stopped me.

"Dina…"

"Willow, I don't care if he's a new kid. I've known him for about five minutes and he already annoys me more than Liam."

"Okay, I'm not saying you have to like him. Just please don't be rude to him? You know how I felt during fourth grade. Now, please eat something." When I wince, she grins because she knows she's getting her way. I take the banana she held out to me and stomped off to pout.
