Old Friends, New Friends

Story Details

6:30 am, Diana’s Room, Fowl Manor

Diana woke up to her alarm clock; so she did her normal morning routine excluding changing into her school uniform (It’s only 6:45 for goodness sake!), which took about 15 minutes.  She decided to check and see if Artemis was awake yet.  She found his room right across from hers with a name plate on it saying ‘Artemis’ and she found a name plate on her door with her name as well.  Diana knocked on Artemis’ door and she heard a faint but clear, “Enter.”, so she did.

“Good morning Artemis.”

“Good morning Diana, did you sleep well?”

“Yeah.” She noticed that his laptop was on, “What are you working on this early in the morning?  School doesn’t start until nine.”

He just shrugged, “I just find the so-called school assignments not that difficult or interesting.”

“I know!” Diana said with a excited tone, “Finally, somebody who doesn’t think school is a challenge!  Absolutely none of the teachers could teach me what I already know.”

Artemis smirked at this, “Really, then why are you going to St. Bartelby’s?”

“Well, first of all, this is my first time to not go to an all girls school and my mom said that St. Bartelby’s is supposedly is the best school in all of Dublin.  And I don’t want to make her upset so I decided to go to St. Bartelby’s.”

He nodded, “I see.  Well Diana, who will be your homeroom teacher?”

“I think a Mr. Cartenell?”

“He’s my teacher as well.”

“Is he nice?”

“He is, but he gives too many easy assignments, the hardest one was to write a 750 word essay on the history of Dublin.  It took me 10 minutes.”

“I guess that’s a little more challenging.”

“Well, breakfast should be starting about now, shall I escort you downstairs?” 

“That would be nice Artemis, but I have to change into my uniform.  I’ll see you when I get downstairs though, thanks anyway.” 

Then she went back across the hallway to change, so he decided to change as well.  Artemis was a little disappointed when Diana turned down his offer, but of course he didn’t show it.  Especially right after he had buttoned the last button, Butler came in.

“What did you and Diana talk about Artemis?”

“Just how St. Bartelby’s educating system isn’t that challenging.”

“And?”

“That’s all.”

Butler shrugged, “All right, come on, everybody’s downstairs for breakfast.”

Artemis sighed, “Coming.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing old friend, let’s go.”

When they got downstairs to the dining room and sat down, Rhodes, Diana’s parents, and his own parents were there, but Diana was nowhere to be seen.  Until Artemis heard footsteps coming down to the dining room.  He turned around and saw her in a short-sleeved white blouse and a mid-thigh length plaid skirt along with the school sweater tied around her waist.  It was strange for him that even though he tried very hard to not look at her, he eyes kept lingering back to her.  And to make matters worse, she was sitting right across from him!  Eight words kept repeating themselves inside his head all through breakfast, I will find a way to stop puberty.

  8. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    Or maybe I’m going crazy…

  9. mayqueen17 Says:

    yes I’m fowgirl19! I thought no one would notice! But I lost my password for fowlgirl19 on here, so I had to make up a new one!

  10. mayqueen17 Says:

    And no, you’re not going crazy! At least I hope not….

  11. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    Lol, no, I especially remembered that story cuz it was my favorite! Plus I went on fanfiction today and saw that under fowlgirl19’s name. Yeah, hopefull not.. (hopefully I’m not going crazy) :lol:

  12. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    I’ve never read twighlight….

  13. Olive Says:

    OMG I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TWILIGHT! If u don’t do the crossover i will. i may still even if u do. it’ll be interesting to have 2 stories. i love this one to, keep it up!

  14. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    I HAVE TO READ “TWIGHLIGHT” NOW!Is it like a series?

  15. mayqueen17 Says:

    Yuppers, it’s a series done by Stephenie Meyer. But the first one is Twilight.

  16. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    oh….kk

  17. Star Jinin Says:

    I love Twilight now! Except if you do a Twilight crossover, you MUST put Edward in!!! It’s not really fitting if this girl is Isabella Swan because she is a klutz and I don’t think she could be some sort of agent… it really doesn’t fit Bella’s description to be a genius even though she’s smart. Maybe you could sqeeze Twilight in, but I don’t really think you should…

  18. Star Jinin Says:

    I’m still losing interest in this story, though…

  19. mayqueen17 Says:

    Star Jinin! This isn’t the same as Twilight Tears! This is… sort of a beginning story. And Diana is absolutely NOT like Bella! I like Bella, but Di is NOT like her in any way! Ugh… maybe I shouldn’t have posted it…. :(

  20. Star Jinin Says:

    Calm down…I’m not flaming you, just giving you my opinion. I’m still confused, and who said anything about Twilight Tears? Chill!

  21. Star Jinin Says:

    This is getting awkward…as I said, I was only confused

  22. mayqueen17 Says:

    Sorry! I’m having a little trouble here…. But can I do anything to help clear things up for you?

  23. Olive Says:

    I like it a lot! :) Locks can talk! Ahhhhh! LOl

  24. Hunter Says:

    I like it!! Arty a crinimal and Diana a secret police. And they both have bodygaurds!! This is just my opinion, but maybe a bit more excitment around the surprise parts.

  25. ArtemisFowl96 Says:
