Sorry this chapter took so long, but the computer "died" and we first had to get a new one. Here is chapter number five!
Hope you enjoy it!
Artemis and I went in the afternoon for a walk through the garden. It was my first long conversation with a boy and I loved it. After a while we sat on a bench under an old willow. During the night it had snowed, the whole garden was white.
Suddenly, I saw a hand waving out of the bushes at the fence . I was curious.
"I think I dropped my glove somewhere," I said, and went behind the house just to steal me through secret paths into the bush. As I arrived the hand pulled me behind the bush. Of course, the hand also depended to a body, in this case to Juliets.
"A gift for your crush."
She held grinning up two snowballs in and gave me one.
"He's not my crush!"
"Don´t talk, aim!"
The first snow ball flew into Artemis direction and hit him in the back of his head. Artemis spun around and my snowball missed him by a few meters, but this was no surprise.
Juliet stood up and began to laugh out loud. It was contagious, and I also began to giggle.
My mistake was that I closed my eyes, because Artemis exactly hit my ear.
Shortly after we three were involved in a wild snowball fight that ended when we dropped exhausted on the floor and for a minute just had to catch our breath.
After our "battle" we all took a warm shower. Juliet went to the dojo, while Artemis showed me the library.
It was a big room on the ground floor with floor to ceiling shelves filled with books, but what immediatedly caught my attention was the black piano, that stood at a window. Artemis noticed my interest.
"Can you play the piano?"
I shook my head.
Artemis walked over to the piano and played a little melody.
"Greensleves."
He nodded. Another melody.
" 'Für Elise' by Beethoven. He wrote it for one of his students. It's my favourite."
Angeline Fowl entered the room.
"Your mom is on the phone, she wants to speak with you."
