"So as you can see…." Professor Bryce was interrupted by a knock on the door as a female student that was obviously from St Josephine's, and Dr. Guiney entered. "Professor Bryce, form 9G, this is Samantha L. Derph. She will be joining your class instead of Miss Vanessa White." In an undertone, he then said "I shifted her here because she is just like Fowl. She can and will reduce you to tears in seconds. Only, she will do it politely," Professor Bryce just nodded. Inside his head he was going mad. Now he had to do with another 'Artemis Fowl'. Having Artemis Fowl in his class was bad enough, but now, they had to put another girl just like Artemis into his class.

Vanessa White reluctantly got up from her seat, waving to a few guys on the way, and making signs that obviously meant 'call me'. Samantha Derph slid into the seat at the middle of the class. With that, Vanessa White and Dr. Guiney left the room and Professor Bryce continued with the lesson, deciding to test out this girl to see if she really was as clever as Fowl. After all, it was hard to believe that a pretty girl like her, with her royal purple eyes and creamy skin, was as clever as Fowl. "Miss Derph, can you name me the scientific classification of the polar bear? (This is all very basic)" " It's Kingdom is Animalia, Phylum is Chordata, its Class is Mammalia, its Order is Carnivora, its Family is Ursidae, its Genus is Ursus and its Species is Maritimus. Therefore, its scientific name is Ursus Maritimus," she finished, not even looking up from her notebook.

Professor Bryce nodded. She was cleverer than the class but that did not mean that she was as clever as Artemis. "And what is a Homo sapien?" "A Homo sapien is a human, sir," she said calmly.

Artemis who was listening did not look up. After all, to him, this was all very simple, even if it was above the standard of his classmates.

Samantha meanwhile was feeling very disgruntled. Did the professor really think she was that stupid? She had hacked into Dr. Guiney's system in 5 minutes this morning, just to get access to the codes that would open the gates of St Bartleby's, so that she could go out and explore the beautiful Irish scenery occasionally. The beauty of it all was that Dr Guiney or any of the technicians did not know, and would never know.

5:15 p.m. Monday 14th November.

Holly Short was hovering next to a window. She was nearly at the end of her longest but most interesting mission. She had been sent to follow a certain half-fairy for almost 3 months, to see if she was revealing signs of fairy magic like healing herself in front of people, talking to animals, suddenly disappearing (shielding) and mesmerizing people. Obviously she hadn't. In fact, she was a very intelligent girl who took pleasure in hacking into peoples systems, getting what information she wanted, and leaving without any trace of having been there. In a way, she reminded her of a certain Fowl; only, she only took information, never money, jewels or anything like that.

In fact, she had to admit that she quite liked the girl. A few days before today, she had revealed the fact that she knew Holly had been following her since the 20th of September. Guessing that she was from the LEP, she did not want to ruin the mission by admitting that she knew that she and another elf were following her. Then she admitted that she couldn't control herself and had finally told them. She also said not to blame themselves for she would have spotted any elf they sent, even if they sent a commander or a member of the council.

So all in all, she was a very nice girl. Right now, Holly was hovering outside her class, watching her read and doodle while the teacher taught the class. Holly didn't blame her. After all, she knew everything that the teacher was teaching, so you couldn't blame her for feeling bored.

Holly sighed. Her mission would be ending in a few days. Five days to be exact. She would be happy to be reinstated as a major, but she would miss watching this girl hack into accounts, play with her dog and go horseback riding. Her father was a rich man by the name Maximus, and her mom, a fairy by the name Lily. Of course, her father did not know that he had slept with a fairy; only she herself knew that she was a half-fairy. Thankfully, she was not too short for a human and looked like her father. The only sign that she was elfin was that her ears looked a tad sharper than normal humans, and that they dried rather easily. Also, the fact that she liked the dark was a slight give away for anyone who was an elf or knew of the People.

Class D3, St Bartleby's, Ireland

"Artemis Fowl! Samantha Derph!" Professor Bryce shouted angrily as Artemis looked up at his book, an eyebrow raised, while Samantha turned her gaze back from outside the window, to face the Professor, the expression 'I wonder what he wants now…' plastered clearly on her face. "Both of you get out of class! You can go anywhere you want, just GET OUT! It is enough if you do not want to learn, but stop disturbing the whole class! If you think this class is below your standard, you are now exempted from attending it!" He shouted.

The class looked shocked, but before Artemis could snap back at him, Samantha calmly got up from her seat and gathered her things. "If you say so Professor, but can I kindly have a library pass, and a hallway pass? Also, can you write me a note that I can give to Professor Guiney, so that I can explain my absence? You just have to write that you think you are incapable of teaching us any thing else, so you are exempting us. I would really appreciate it," she said politely.

Artemis smirked as Bryce's face turned even redder than before. He couldn't have put it better himself. "Who says that I am incapable of teaching you!" he sputtered angrily. Artemis watched with interest, deciding not to interfere. "You," was her calm reply. " Like you said, we leave if the class is below our standard, and since we are leaving, it can only mean that the class is below our standard. And if it is below our standard, it can only be because you are incapable of teaching us anything," she replied calmly and politely, yet Artemis could see that her words stung.

Professor Bryce's voice was shaking with controlled rage. "No, I will not write a note, or give you a hall or library pass. You can explain everything by yourselves. Just get out, NOW!" he burst out. "Okay, I will. As for my reason, I'll just say that you were incapable of teaching me anything more and exempted me. See you. Oh and you had better ask Artemis Fowl what he wants to do," with that, she left the classroom calmly, her ponytail swaying ever so slightly.

It was only as she started to walk out, that Artemis caught sight of her face and realised who she was. Without thinking any further, he acted on impulse and grabbed his things before running after her.

The End

How was it? Okay? I bet some of you have guessed the identity of the girl Holly is following. I know it's a bit predictable but… Please review okay… I want to know how I can improve. Bye.
