"Relax, Max. Its for science. Apparently I needed a tutor." Kira said

reasuringly. "RELAX! Kira, he drove off like, twenty roomates

before he left!" "It's not my fault Mr. Prat hates me!" Kira almost

yelled. Thom laughed. "You have a teacher named Prat?" "Yes. He

hates me. I swear if I said Potatoe he would give me an F 'cause it

would be Patatoe." Kira said annoyed. Thom grew serious. "He gave

you an F?" "Kinda." said Kira. "Did you deserve it?" "Maybe. Whats it

to you?" she snapped. "If you didn't deserve it, then you could

theoreticly get him fired!" "I really want to, belive me. But I kinda

sorta did deserve it. They would just look at my tests and figure it

out." Kira said angrily. "Do you want me to help you study?" Thom

asked. "Umm, thats what I have a tutor for. Plus, you couldnt help

me!" Kira almost laughed. "Why not? We're in the same grade!"

"Diffrent schools. Crap, sorry the light just went out. it must be

10:00. Bye!" Kira said rushingly. "Bye," Thom said, into the dial tone.

Kira sighed, as she got in bed. It was not good when her brother got

worried about her. He did some pretty drastic things. Once, when

they were seven, she'd had nightmares about Ghost Fish for weeks.

He'd finally scared her dreams off by 'transforming' into the Ghost

Fisherman King every night. It was quite scary to watch. I had

included severl fishnets and two tubs of lip-stick. But, somehow, it

had always made her feel better.

The next day was a weekend and they were free to do whatever they

wanted. Unfortunatly for Kira, Mary Sue and her crew wanted to

torment her as much as possible. In the space of one night, Fowl

had gone from Kira's tutor to her boyfriend. Supposedly, of course.

Kira sat in the library, typing up her homework "That's wrong." a

voice corrected from behind her. Kira rolled her eyes and turned

around. Artemis stood, looking over her shoulder at her book report.

Kira sighed heavily. "Must you torment me." she asked.

"Isn't that what boyfriends do?" Artemis sounded rather amused.

"Oh, yeah. This is all very funny for you isnt it! You didnt have a life

to be ruined in the first place!" Kira snapped. "Oh, please. I definatly

have a life. Besides, this makes my life much easier. Now I won't

have girls chasing me around all day."

"Um, hello! Dont you care about anybody but yourself!" Kira said

amazed. Artemis paused, as if remembering something. Kira

couldn't help but wonder where his mind went at these times. "Trust

me. I do care." he walked off. OK, now as much as Kira hated him.

She hated when people walked off sad. Even Mary Sue. So of

course she ran and caught up with him. "I'm sorry," she said. "I

shouldn't have been so rude." "But you shouldnt have either!" she

added quickly. Artemis just kept walking, silent. "Ok, thats enough

whats wrong?" Kira asked reluctantly. "Nothing. Really. Just...

memories, I suppose. "OK, fine. Dont tell me. But its gonna haunt

you!" She threatened. "Ghost fish?" he asked.

"Worse."

"What?" he asked. Kira lowered her voice to a wisper,"Goo Birds!"

"Go-" "Don't say it too loud!"Kira interupted, "They might hear you!"

Artemis rolled his eyes, but he laughed. "Oh, so now that I bring up

the most deadly thing in the universe you laugh!" Kira said shocked.

"Trust me. Trolls may be much more so." Artemis corrected.

"I forgot about your love of fairies." "Well, it's not really love, so to

speak. We understand each other."

"OK, now your just acting psyco!" Kira said a little scared.

"Sorry." They walked a little longer. "I should probably go." Kira

realised. "I wouldnt want people to get the wrong idea"
