I got more reviews!!!

Eddy: Thanx.

Sincerity Inkwell: That's a good idea. I cant put it in this chapter though because I had an idea. But I can probably fit something in for a later chapter.

Erosgirl: Er. . . Rebecca and Jacob are sort of old characters for me, so Im sorry if I made it too confusing. Ill try to be more detailed in future chapters.

Saphire Dragon: I use my dads email so I cant email you. Sorry. As for the idea, I had something similar. But artemis is going to regain his memory in a different way.

Disclaimer: I do not own artemis fowl blah blah blah.

Chapter 7: Self destruction and suspicion

Ops Booth, Haven City

Foaly smiled. He hadnt sent a virus sice he was an adolescent. And now his parents werent there to scold him.

Holly knocked at the door. Foaly buzzed her in.

"Well, your sure in a good mood she said. What have you been up to?"

Foaly whinnied in delight. "Someones been hacking into the LEP website."

"And your happy because. . . why?"

"No damage was done. All they did was research."

"Peculiar. I still don't understand why your happy."

"Well, it is peculiar, but that's not why. This person seemed to be particularly interested in Fronds tomb."

"Nobody knows where that is."

"I know. That's why its so peculiar. And guess where I traced the hacker to?"

"Rebecca?"

"Yep."

"So what did you do?"

"I sent a virus."

Holly felt a smile play across her face. "What kind of virus?"

Foaly smirked.

Clarissa Fayne school for young ladies

Rebecca was in a horrible mood. She had been sent to the office for the eighth time that day. And it was only the first day of school.

The last time was because she was dripping blue paint all over the school grounds. That was how unpopular she was.

She turned on her computer, deciding that she would find some enetertainment in studying Fronds tomb.

This was a mistake.

The second she pressed the power button, a loud, booming voice said, "COMPUTER WILL NOW SELF DESTRUCT IN 5, 4. . ."

Rebecca jabbed at the power button. It made no difference.

"3,2. . ."

Rebecca pressed every key on the keyboard, but nothing stopped the voice. She had no choice but to duck.

"ONE." Computer pieces flew in every which direction, and there was smoke issueing from the table. Rebecca groaned as she picked up as many computer parts as she could. It was at times like these that she wished she had Jacobs inventing skills.

Her roommate, Karen, would be thoroughly angered if she saw this room. Rebecca purposely left a few sharp pieces in the doorway, hoping Karen would step on them. That would teach the snotty girl not to dump paint on Rebecca Hound.

Saint Bartlebys school for young gentlemen

Artemis sat down at the lunch table and stared down at his lunch. Tuna salad, saltine crackers, carrot sticks, and freshly picked blueberries. Artemis ate his blueberries and one of the saltine crackers. The carrot sticks obviously hadnt been cleaned before they were served, and Artemis had seen people throw up from the tuna before.

He was walking towards the garbage bin when he saw Jacob. Jacob obviously suspected the tuna salad as well, because he hadnt even touched it.

"Good day to you, Artemis."

Artemis decided to ignore him and walked towards his table.

"Artemis, why do you sit alone?"

"I like my privacy."

"Oh? Well, then, I'm assuming you don't want me sitting by you?"

"No, as a matter of fact I don't."

Jacob sighed. "I was hoping that we could forget about our first meeting and start over. What do you think?"

"I think that you should leave me alone."

"You had said that you wanted help with an invention. . ."

"Jacob, I demand that you leave me alone."

Jacob could stand it no longer. "Why should I take orders from a stupid little boy who cares for nothing?"

"I have the highest tested IQ in Europe, Jacob."

"That's not what I mean. You may be smart, Fowl, but youre not very wise."

Artemis stormed off towards his table. Jacob stormed off towards his.

That night, Artemis got to know his new roommate. His name was Andrew. The boy was a mischief maker and could not even be bothered by Artemis Fowl. Which is why they were roommates.

Artemis tried to write a diary entry, but Andrew had tried to read it. Encryption, he said, how clever. "Now that I know the public key, I bet you I could find your private key." (For those of you who don't know much about encryption, the public key encodes and the private key decodes)

Artemis snorted.

"No, really, I can, see? "He pressed the number four and Artemis diary was in english. Artemis pressed the number one and it was encoded again.

Andrew laughed. "You have a diary? Man, girls are supposed to keep diaries, not teenage boys!"

Artemis turned off his computer. He would have to remember to change the private and public keys more often.

Jacob was angry that night. Hed blown it. Artemis would never be friends with him now. He would just have to e-mail Rebecca telling her that it just wouldn't work. What was the worst she could do to him? They were miles away from eachother.

Jacob was pulling his computer out when his roommate walked in. His name was Aarron. He was a quiet boy who didn't bother anyone much but seemed to always have an annoying grin on his face. Jacob pushed his computer back under his bed and walked to the window. He really wasn't sure about Aarron.
