I surprisingly slept like a rock last night, I woke up to breakfast from my mom. On the way to school many things went through my mind. I was trying to figure out how to tell Linda without her hating me or breaking up with me. I pulled her aside before school so I could talk to her.

"Wally what's up?" She said, clearly in a good mood.

"I have to tell you something," I replied with a frown.

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"What? No, no I would never."

"Then what is it, spill Wallace."

""Artemismighthavekissedme," I said faster than she could interpret.

"What was that? Say it slower for me."

"I said, Artemis may have kissed me." I could see her smile falter.

"When did this happen?"

"Ugh, it was yesterday. Then she locked me in the classroom, which is why I was late to class."

I could see her trying to process the information before she replied, "You promise that it didn't mean anything?"

"I promise."

"Okay, then I believe you." With that she walked away.

I didn't know how well that went, I'm not going to lie I was worried about her reaction. I couldn't tell whether or not she was going to be able to handle the kiss. I decided that the best thing that I could do to clear my head would be talk to Dick. We hadn't l talked in a little bit so I figured it would be a good idea.

After school that day, he came home with me so that I could vent to him. "Okay," he asked, "what's up?"

"Long story short Artemis kissed me." I replied. His face turned into complete shock, once he recuperated I told him everything that happened.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Was she a good kisser?"

"I just told you that and you want to know if she was a good kisser?"

"Yes, tell me."

"Well…. she sure can kiss, but that's not the point."

Dick looked at me as if he saw me in a new light and asked, "Wait, you don't like her do you?"

I must have looked horrified, because he laughed at my facial expression. "Well, then you need to apologize to Linda with flowers and chocolates girls love those."

I couldn't help but agree with that so the very next day when I saw Linda I gave her fifty dollars worth of chocolate and flowers. She didn't seem to impressed by the gifts, but she took them anyway. For now atleast, I knew that we were going to be okay.

The rest of August was strange, Artemis didn't bully me anymore and she started acting like my friend, I think I liked it better when she bullied me because I don't trust that she wants to be my friend for the right reasons. Without having to worry about Artemis anymore though, I was able to do better in my classes. I was back to being the best student in any science class. I had always been a science prodigy, so I took a lot of science based classes.
