The Flashing Arrow
Four:
Artemis looked across at her fallen comrades, to the love of her life, to...Viper. He was here. He might kill her, but everyone else would live. She owed them her life for everything bad she'd done on this mission. Ten. More. Minutes.
…...
M'Gann wouldn't look Artemis in the eye again, neither try and read her thoughts and mind. She even blocked her off from their telepathic communication link thingie.
Artemis was totally pissed off.
She watched angrily as everyone's facial features would change dramatically every time they spoke with telepathy. Artemis glared at M'Gann, even more pissed off at the fact she'd thought that stupid green Martian was her only friend. Yeah right!
She had plenty more friends at school. Or were they just using her?
Artemis shivered at the very thought of that. They hadn't always been perfectly nice to her on that first day of school that day. She shivered again, remembering the awful, super-embarrassing incident that had happened in Afternoon Registration.
Miranda was tossing back her curly locks of midnight-black hair, moaning about her bad test results back in Year 6 in Primary School. Hannah and the other two friends, Joey and Barbara (BABS ALERT!), were chatting randomly about random stuff. Artemis went and sat down by Miranda.
That's when it happened.
'Why the hell are you sitting by me?' screeched Miranda, jumping up and backing away from me like a bad disease.
'Miranda?' Artemis said, shocked.
'Miranda? That's Minnie, to you, bitch! Now go sit with your other people-from the slums of this effin' city!' she screamed, slapping poor, helpless Artemis away from her in a very babyish manner.
She'd never felt so embarrassed and awful in all of her life. And with Wally constantly ignoring her at school now, well, her whole life was starting to suck.
Artemis managed a small smile though. At least little KF was OK with her.
Well, he was, for five small, scary seconds.
