Hello, everyone! Here's my fifth short story! I had a prompt for this one: annoyed. So, I decided to make it an Artemis Fowl fanfic. How is it? Tell me in the reviews! Plus, I'm trying to make my short stories short, for once. That's why it's kinda small. Only 333 words. (Not 444, you know why)

Holly and Artemis were sitting in the library of Fowl Manor; the former was immersed in a book, and the latter was idly staring out the window. She got up, and started walking around, taking in every single detail. The boy sighed. His crystal blue gaze was lifted from the book and was now trained on her. "Holly, would you please stop pacing? It's highly distracting," complained the boy. Holly turned to look at Artemis. "Yeah, fine, I'll stop," she said, and sat down again. The boy returned his gaze to his book.

After a few moments, Holly started snapping her fingers unconsciously. Snap. Snap. Snap. Artemis took a deep breath to calm himself. Somehow, Holly's quirky habit was getting on his nerves. It was really annoying. "Holly," he asked in a measured voice, "could you please stop that?" Holly snapped back to reality, and looked at her fingers. She stopped snapping. "Sorry," she said, apologetically. Artemis nodded, and went back to his book.

Few minutes of peace followed. Then, Holly started clicking her tongue. Click. Click. Click. Artemis's temper rose. He restrained his anger, and resumed reading. Nor Mars' sword nor war's quick fire shall burn; the living record of your memory. Shakespeare's sonnet.

Click. Click. Click. 'Gainst death and all oblivious enmity, your praise shall still find room. Click. Click. Click. Artemis was now on edge. One more click and he would lose control. His hands were now shaking. Even in the eyes of all posterity, that wear this world out to ending doom. Click. Click. Click. That did it.

"Can you please STOP that?" yelled Artemis, shooting up. "I've had quite ENOUGH!" He stormed out the library, with the book in his hands, and shut the door loudly behind him. Very unusual for Artemis.

Holly stared in surprise. What happened? Why did he storm off? Was it something she did?

Holly shrugged. Who knew what got on genii's nerves? She clicked away, oblivious to whatever just happened.

So, how was it? Please, please, PLEASE, leave a review! Don't forget the three Rs, read, rate and review. Constructive criticism is also welcome!

Bye!
