I'm back! So, unfortunately I am too busy to update on the weekends (look at me, what a procrastinator!), so expect updates on weekdays only. Sorry! Anyway, on with the story!
Artemis's phone rang, and at a very inappropriate time at that. He was, after all, at school. Nevertheless, Artemis was grateful for the distraction. He accepted the call.
A whinny followed by several neighs came over, and then Foaly's voice came through.
"Hey Artemis, it's Foaly, the centaur who's smarter than you."
Artemis knew he was being goaded, but he sighed with exasperation anyway.
"Yes, Foaly? This had better be important."
Whinny. Then:
"Your girlfriend has Mulch in a cell with a loudspeaker, and she's threatening to sear my carrot juice if you're not here soon, so hurry up and get your sorry self over here."
"You know, you're starting to sound like Root", Artemis snickered, a little too loudly.
"BOY! GET OUT OF HERE; I DON'T NEED YOU DISRUPTING THE CLASS ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE!"his teacher yelled.
Artemis sighed. Sometimes he wished he hadn't scared his old teacher off. Oh well. He got up and walked out of the classroom.
A fairy shuttle was waiting for him outside Fowl Manor, Holly peeking outside.
"COME IN BEFORE SOMEONE SEES US, YOU IGNORANT MUD BOY!"she hissed. Artemis complied. Better to get in voluntarily and let the insult pass than get shot by Holly's Neutrino and be unconscious the whole way.
A few minutes into the ride, Artemis deeply regretted not having Holly knock him out prior to the flight.
Well? How was the chapter? Please review!
