Cold Shoulder

For the rest of the school day, Artemis tried avoiding Brandon whenever she could. Avoiding him in the halls, classroom, and especially any moment where they could be alone. He was obviously not going to give up on her, and she wanted nothing to do with him. The plan of avoiding him was working so well, that was until he caught her at her locker at the end of the day.

"Hey! What are you doing after school?" He asked her, she sighed, turning to him with a smile and shrugged. She couldn't tell him to piss off, it just wouldn't come out of her, so instead she endured it. He smiled and replied to her slyly.

"Well now you do, why don't you come over my house" He said, that turned her stomach inside out. It left a bad taste in her mouth, as her body acted before her thoughts.

"Y-you know what...I-i actually have to meet up with someone" She said turning to him looking down slightly.

"Oh really?...W-well who?...Caitlyn?, Cause i cold always-"

"My boyfriend!~" She should have stopped herself when she spoke, cutting his sentence short and leaving him for a loss of words. He shoved his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows, mumbling words such of "Lucky guy". She mentally slapped herself at the statement, she really needed to beat herself up when she got home. He nodded his thanks somehow, and walked away. Artemis sighed as her knees gave way slightly, shutting her locker and rushing out of the school as fast as she could.

Artemis fumbled into her room, re-thinking the past moments. her thoughts were then cut bluntly short as Jack entered her room. Throwing a perfect snowball at her face, causing her to snap up and scold him. After a few moments silence then came back to her as she looked to the ground.

"Ah don't get so upset princess, i used to always do that to you!" He said above her floating once more. He was on his stomach as if laying on something as he twirled his staff. She shook her head and replied back to him.

"It's not that Jack..." She said looking up at him after her continued to poke her head with his staff. Eventually floating down to play with her hair. Lightly tugging on it in the right way causing her to bite her lip as her scalp enjoyed the feeling.

"Then what?" He asked now by her ear, causing her to jump lightly, his breath trailed down her now exposed neck. The cold air he blew out sent shivers up and down her spine, goosebumps popping up every where.

"N-n-nothing!" She stuttered, now to embarrassed to say anything else. He smirked and brought his mouth closer to her ear, his lips lightly grazing her lobe as he spoke softly.

"C'Mon princess, your bothered by...something" He said, as his smirk grew wider as she gripped her long her and tuged on it. Eventually shaking her head slightly. He chuckled at her innocent reactions and couldn't help himself, he drew his mouth to her ear, nibbling on it lightly.

"J-Jack!" She yelled out pulling away from his wide smirking face. Her's was a deep crimson as she brought the blanket up to hide her face.

"P-pervert!...D-don't talk t-to me!" He chuckled at her.

"Ah, Artemis, you are so red!...Were you having fantasies about me again?" He asked her laughing.

"J-Jack!" She yelled out, pouting, she hid her face farther into the blanket. Just as she thought Jack was above her, a voice unfamiliar rang out to her ears.

"Jack!...Stop tormenting the poor girl! You have work to do with us again!" A woman's voice rand out, it was calm but assertive. Artemis pulled away the blankets to see a woman, or at least she thought it was. It seemed to be like a half bird, half woman. And as impressive as it was, Artemis looked at her in amazement, and slight fright.

"Don't worry...she wont bite" Jack stated, chuckling to himself at the last part.

"I'm Toothiana...But call me Tooth!" She said happily to the girl. Glancing back at Jack, Artemis noticed the blush on her face immediately. Figuring it out quickly, Tooth had a crush on Jack. This then sparked up a new feeling in Artemis, but something she couldn't exactly figure out.

(AN: Sorry this one may be so short!~ n_n'' kind of a filler and i really needed to just show Jacks cocky and childish side!~...WOO!~ n_n))
