The next day Rain and Brittney sat with Artemis again. They acted like nothing happened, but Artemis was curious. "Why did you...kiss me yesterday?' he asked suddenly. "I felt like it." replied Rain simply, she wouldnt let Artemis know it was a dare. She liked playing games with peoples heads. "Why did you feel like it?" Artemis asked his voice had a hint of annoyence(?) in it. Rain smiled inside, the perfect time for one of her games. She put on her best puppy-dog face and asked sadly,"Didnt you like it?" she asked smiling inside. Artemis was stuck. He didnt know, had he? "Yes," he decided to say, "But i still want to know why." America was starting to change Artemis, after his last experiance with the LEP he had decided to stop being a criminal, for now. But he hadnt expected America to change anything else about him. I guess he was starting to relise something. He could be evil outside of school and well, ok, on the inside. That would make his mom happy and him. But their was no doubt that he was still every bit as cold as he used to be to people he hated. like the lip-gloss girls. but he decided it would be ok to have two friends. But that was definatly all. "Well, if you liked it you shouldnt care." said Rain bluntly. Artemis relised that he wasnt going to get an answer any time soon. Rain was acctualy surprised about what Artemis had said. She found it funny that he acctualy liked it, and surprisingly sweet. Wow, she thought to herself, she never thought she would ever think or say Artemis and Sweet in the same sentance, at least not without "is not" in the middle of the words. Brittney just wached Rain and Artemis. It was pathetic really. They were always flirting with each other and they didnt even know it. This conversation was gold.
