Well? I have six reviews! I thank you all. This is Chapter 3 and I'm sorry it's so short. But hey you got an update so don't complain. Ignore the grammar mistakes I was in a hurry to get this up because I realized that I hadn't updated in almost two months. I promise updates will be more frequent and chapters longer because I'm on spring break. The plot will thicken hehe.

Artemis spent most of the party on the couch with Storm and his mother's friend's daughter, Katrina. Artemis thought Katrina was very vain and cared little for what either one had to say. Storm didn't like or trust her at all.

"They ran out of snakeskin purses and I had to have one because Heather from my school has one and it's become all the rave and I wouldn't be caught dead without one."

"Ahhh! Brianna! There you are, come along Storm." said Artemis, spotting her across the room. He walked away from Katrina and her glaring with Storm at his heels. Storm didn't know why, but she felt uneasy around the girl even though she just seemed like your typical backstabbing popular slut.

"Artemis! How have you been? Who's this?" Brianna said with a friendly smile at Storm. Storm relaxed, feeling much more at ease with this blonde then she did with the other one.

"Hi! I'm Storm. Nice to meet you." She said to Brianna, who smiled.

"Pleased to meet you. I'm Brianna. Out of curiosity, how do you know Artemis?" she said in her French accent.

Storm blushed and glanced sideways at Artemis, who was blushing slightly as well.

"What's this? Artemis Fowl blushing? Have I missed something?" said Brianna

teasingly, looking between the pair.

"Um…" mumbled Artemis. Both Storm and Brianna laughed. "Artemis Fowl saying 'um'? I did miss something!" said Brianna with a smile in her voice. Storm straightened up and giggled.

"I'm his girlfriend." She said, only to burst into giggles at the same time Brianna did. Artemis contemplated making giggling illegal.

"Artemis…has…a…girlfriend?!" screeched Brianna, choking and having to be whacked on the back by Artemis.

Artemis frowned. "Is it really that hard to believe?" he asked. Brianna giggled one last time and turned to Artemis.

"Well…yes. Everyone thinks you're gay because you rarely talk to girls or show any interest. So it's really cool that you've found one now. Especially cool cause Storm's awesome." said Brianna. Storm elbowed her and Artemis blushed. Again.

"They thought I was gay?" he asked, incredulous. Brianna nodded.

Artemis fumed silently before turning to his left, where Storm had been standing, only to find she had disappeared. He went to his mother.

"Did the Whites leave?" he asked. His mother nodded. "They seemed a bit dazed so I told them to go home and sleep. They left a couple minutes ago." She said, hiccupping herself. Artemis wandered up to his room, the party now boring.

He crawled into bed and fell asleep, uneasy for some reason.
