So I haven't finished Looking Glass Self yet, buy I have had this Fan Fiction sitting on for awhile and it's begging to surface. It's all about if the Jeffersonian were a school instead of a museum. (It's a museum, right?) Any way, Brennan is the captain of the Science Club, Booth is her lab partner, Angela is looking for a scholarship to Art School, Cam is the Cheerleading Captain, Zach is the bright kid who gets moved up a few grades and Jack is still rich. Bon Apetit! Warning: This may not be accurate.
PROLOUGE
The basketball team had finished their drills in practice. If they kept this up, they would probably be able to win Thompson Gunner High in the game later on that week. So they were pretty proud of themselves. Now that practice was over, they could return to their favourite topic.
Girls.
"Do you guys remember the girl that won Prom Queen last year?" said Troy Murdock, the captain, "She was so stuck up. She thought she was the hottest thing on two feet, I found out yesterday that she made up that whole thing about living in that big house she told everybody was hers. Turns out it belongs to that guy with the bugs. Hodgins, yeah that's him."
"I always hated her. It's unfair that the rich girls or the stuck up girls always gets Prom Queen. If it was my choice, you know who would win? All those nice girls," said Adam Bolton.
"Well, I would choose the smart girls or the athletic ones," was Jaylen Murphy's opinion, "And the thing is they are any worse looking than the Plastic girls. Most of them are really cute."
"Like Temperance Brennan."
The guys turned to who spoke. It was Matthew Pennant.
"The Science Club girl?" Jaylen asked.
"Yeah. Remember Sullivan from last year?"
"Of course. He practically won that Cameron High game for us." Troy said.
"Well he told me that she has in her room a wall sized poster of the Human Skeleton and if you ask her, she'll name them all for you. Out of her head."
"Wow, that's kinda smart." Adam smiled. "And a bit sexy."
"She would get my vote!" Chris O'Neil shouted.
"You know what we should do? We should just as a school team, just nominate her."
Everyone raised their eyebrows at Troy.
"Can we even do that?" Jon Mendez asked.
"Why not? Who's gonna stop us?"
And that is how Temperance Brennan was nominated for Prom Queen.
Chapter One
Her alarm clock went off, penetrating through her sleep. She wanted to continue her dream, but the annoying trilling was like that of the ice cream truck in her neighbourhood. So annoying you just want to shoot it.
Temperance pushed her had ou of the warm cocoon that her blanket made and slapped it off the side table, giving the floor the job to stop it. Not being able to go back to sleep now, she got up and crossed the hallway outside her room door to the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went back into her room and took up her Biology book that had fallen from the bed the night before. Her Biology test was apart of the Mid Terms at Jeffersonian High, her school. Suddenly her ring tone, some new song that her friend Angela put on her phone, broke the silence.
She took it up and answered, "Brennan."
"You up, sweetie?"
It was Angela herself.
"Yes. Since half an hour ago."
"Shoot. Beat me by ten minutes." Angela said playfully, "What are you doing?"
"Studying for Biology. It's going to be easy. Dr. Goodman doesn't set his tests hard."
"Don't tell me that. I didn't study."
"So what are you doing?" Temperance asked as she flung her Biology book aside.
"I'm finishing this painting that my teacher wants me to submit to the review board that's considering my Art School scholarship. But I don't know…"
"Ange, the painting will be fine. You are very talented. And if they don't give you that scholarship, they're idiots."
"Thanks, Bren. You made my morning."
"How are you getting to school?" Temperance asked. "I can come for you. Mom and Dad left the car when they went on that trip."
"No thanks, I…I asked Jack to pick me up."
"Oh, really?" Temperance was intrigued. "So that makes it ten times in the two weeks that Jack has had his Mini Cooper that he's picking you up?"
"Yeah, you know, so what?" Angela said, on the defense. "He is the only guy, including the ones I've dated that my mother trusts to pass the front door and he likes me and..." "Ange! Calm down! You don't have to defend yourself! So you like Jack. Nobody's judging you."
"I said he like s me, Bren."
"Whatever."
"I haven't even gone to first base with him yet."
"I don't know what that means, Ange."
"But wait! You are bothering me about Jack, when you and your Hot Stuff lab partner are the hottest couple in all of Jeffersonian High?'
"Who, me and Seely Booth?"
Temperance squirmed. She knew Seely Booth was really one of the most popular guys at Jeffersonian High. When she got him as her lab partner, several girls came up to congratulate her. But she and Booth were so different; at first they couldn't do anything but bicker. After a while, and a few after-school make-up labs, they were now okay. Throughout, she was forced to ignore how truly scrumptious he was.
"Yes, Beakman, you and Seely Booth are a match made in Bunsen Burner Heaven!" Angela said, "You should ask him to the Prom."
"No way, Angela." Temperance replied, "He has probably had a whole lot of offers already. And I heard he's going out with that Rebecca girl."
"So over, so long ago" said Angela.
"But what about Cam? She broke up with him or him with her or whatever. And she is kinda my friend."
"Screw the kinda, Bren! He likes you, you like him. He's hot, you'd be hot too if you put some effort into it. Just ask him over a beaker one day. Maybe he will say yes."
No way in hell, Temperance thought.
"I have to get ready for school. Do your painting and go get pretty for Jack."
She heard Angela let out an angry little cough as she hung up the phone.
So there you have it. I just want to note that all I know about Proms I learned from T.V. We don't have them in Jamaica where I live. Some schools have a Ball and I guess it's the same. Our school didn't have one, but I don't think I would have gone if they had one. Do you know how much those things cost?
