Ireland's Private School for Young Adults

Artemis was getting quite annoyed but then again it was like this every weekday. It was only after school and Heather was already latched firmly on his arm and only left when it was during classes, when she went to the toilet and when he went home. She giggled through out the whole day which was annoying not only to Artemis, but any other human being who is not blinded by her charms. She and Artemis had been going steady for about two and a half months. She was more than happy when Artemis remembered her as his girlfriend. The whole fan club disorganised thanks to the relationship.

The many female students around them sighed at the sight of them. They seemed like the perfect couple. He was wealthy, smart and handsome and she was quite wealthy and beautiful. She was not very smart but she managed to pass most of her exams.

Artemis still seemed displeased. He was now a sociable teenager although it was it was not voluntary. He was just following his brain's instructions and it did manage to remove and worries his parents had about him. He had friends now but and a seemingly perfect girlfriend. And yet he rolled his eyes whenever Heather said something. He treated her well but he still could not figure out how she became his girlfriend.

Her blonde hair was beautifully styled and her figure was perfect. Her face was nothing to laugh about either. Still she was the same shallow girl he knew. Artemis had kissed her before after she leaned in like she was asking for it, but even that was not intentional. He felt that it was a duty instead. As anyone could have guessed, they were perfect opposites. Artemis had raven hair and mysterious blue eyes; he was smart and an anti-hero, though no one knew. Heather had blonde hair and sky blue eyes; she was an average student and was a perky girl.

"Artemis," Heather cooed, "Are you coming to my house for the party tomorrow?"

As usual Artemis rolled his eyes thinking, "Not another one," he said out loud to show what he felt of such parties. Just as Heather was about to protest, he smiled, "I'm not sure, Heather. I may have business in France."

Heather gave Artemis her puppy dog pout which was quite famous, "Please try to make it."

"I'll try," Artemis smiled insincerely.

His cell phone vibrated in his pocket, Artemis excused himself from Heather and took the call, "Hello?"

"This is Juliet. Are we going to steal the impressionist painting today or tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow. I want an excuse to miss Heather's party."

"Not another one?" Juliet moaned, "Have you any idea how much time I have wasted on you trying to convince you to wear something actually nice."

"Juliet."

"Fine we'll do it tomorrow. By the way, Holly has a message for you."

"Hi mud boy," Holly said through the phone, "How's Heather? Anyway we need you to go undercover in Britain. There's a ball there and we managed to get you invitations. We suspect an elf has stolen one of our 'Holo Pendants' to pose as a human."

"Is that all Holly?" Artemis asked impatiently. "You have the LEP Retrieval squad and, or the other LEP branches. I have planning to do and I have to be in bed early. France is on my agenda tomorrow."

"It's your job. Like your job of kissing Heather, although it's super gross," Holly said making fake vomiting noises.

"She is my girlfriend after all," said Artemis in an annoyed voice.

"Whatever, just get over here," Holly nearly shouted.

"If you wish captain. I also hear that Grub has been promoted to a captain. Congratulate him for me won't you.

"How did you know?" Holly asked. "I don't re-"

"His hooting and cheering can be heard across the world," Artemis smiled. He had made a joke something which was not exactly normal. It was a lame joke but still a joke.

"Oh My God, did you just make a joke?" Holly inquired excitedly. "Call the presses inform the army he must be planning something. Mud boy you have much to learn, starting with that lame joke you just told-"

"Goodbye," Artemis said clicking the phone off.

Holly was secretly watching Artemis using some of the latest inventions. The new line comprised of superior spy devices. The mini camera in the tree was completely waterproof and operated on solar and battery power. She saw him kiss Heather once again through the monitor and then he step into his ever ready Benz or whatever the car of the day was.

"He looks so unhappy," Juliet commented, secretly watching the monitor.

"That's because he is," Holly said dolefully. "But I trust that he will get back with At-I mean find a girl that he likes one day." Holly said nearly hitting her head on the table for nearly letting Athena's name slip out.

"If it ever happens," Juliet said again.

Holly nodded. "If it ever happens," she echoed.
