Waiting on "The Bear and Maiden Fair" episode, got bored, wrote a High School AU for Jaime and Brienne. I had fun trying to connect it back to their actual story in the book because I'm the type of person who loves parallels.

With that in mind some details such as age and parentage and family relations are mushed. k? okay!

Read, review, and enjoy!

Brienne didn't know how this happened. The whole incident was a bit of a blur to be honest. It was after gym, she had gym class with Renly Baratheon and she noticed he had left his gym shoes on the bleachers. He left out the side door so she followed him. There wasn't anyone on that side of the building, but he was walking towards the parking lot. He was too far ahead of her to catch up so she called his name. He stopped and turned to face her so she jogged to catch up. She was almost there when she spotted Renly's older brother, Stannis, walking towards him from another exit in the school. She shouted for Renly again, but all that did was distract him from his brother who laid his fist into the side of his jaw.

Brienne ran to meet him then as the younger Baratheon fell to the concrete and the older brother took off running around to the parking lot. Brienne dropped her gym bag and crawled over to Renly, too afraid to even touch him. His face was scrapped up from the fall, but nothing too severe looking. Brienne was just getting the courage to lift his head when she heard one of the side doors open.

"Brienne, what's happened?"

Brienne turned to see Mrs. Stark walking towards her. She took a deep breath, looking down at Renly and then back up at her, "I…I don't know, it was Stannis." Brienne got out.

"Stannis? Well, where is he?" Mrs. Stark asked looking around.

"He ran away." Brienne said weakly, knowing that sounded odd.

"He…hit his brother and then ran away?" Mrs. Stark asked raising an eyebrow.

"I swear." Brienne said and then looked down at Renly who was stirring.

Mrs. Stark bent down next to Renly as he opened his eyes, "Renly, Renly, can you hear me?" Mrs. Stark asked.

"Yeah…what happened?" Renly asked and then noticed Brienne, "Did you hit me?" He asked sounding confused.

"No! It was Stannis!" Brienne insisted feeling her heart race more now that Renly didn't even believe her.

"Stannis? Why would he hit me? I didn't even see him." Renly groaned, trying to sit up and then stopped, "Are those my shoes? Why did you take my shoes?" He asked sounding more confused now.

"I didn't take your shoes!" Brienne sighed and then looked up to Mrs. Stark.

Mrs. Stark apologized more than once after that. She told Brienne it was just procedure. She was the only one around, and that portion of the school wasn't under a security camera. The odds were against her, it was out of Mrs. Stark's hands. Brienne supposed she was just trying to follow the rules, her husband Vice-principal Stark had just lost his job, so she didn't want to send him any more trouble by making it look like she took school violence lightly. Brienne was sentenced to after school detention for a week. She supposed she could handle that.

The after school bell rang, and Brienne made her way from her locker down the hall towards Mr. Bolton's room where after school detention was held. Brienne had developed hallway etiquette of her own over the years, hold onto right backpack strap and keep her head down with your eyes on the floor. She was half way down the hall when she heard voices and broke her own etiquette to look up. Jaime Lannister was leaning against the lockers talking to who could only be his stepsister, Cersei; at least the hair was blonde and perfect enough to be Cersei's. Brienne tried to avoid them, moving to the other side of the hall and tilted her head back down. She attempted to try and not pay attention to what they were saying as she turned to walk into the room but she overheard Cersei saying something about car keys.

Brienne sat in the first row a few seats back towards the middle; if she sat in the back it would look like she was up to something and if she sat in the front she'd have the eyes of everyone behind her on her. Eventually, Jaime made his way in and sat himself right in the middle of the room with his legs propped up on the seat in front of him. Mr. Bolton gave him a look, which Jaime replied to with a smile and lowered his feet to the floor. They were supposed to do homework, or read during detention. There wasn't very many rules, they could whisper if they wanted but they had to stay quiet. Really, the only rules were no cell phones, and no leaving without permission. Mr. Bolton shut the door signaling that detention had officially started, and as soon as he took his seat back at his desk Jaime raised his hand.

"No." Mr. Bolton said simply opening his newspaper.

"You didn't even let me ask." Jaime insisted.

"No, you can't go to the bathroom, Lannister. Sit there and shut up for an hour, then you can go." Mr. Bolton said, never taking his eyes off his paper. Mr. Bolton never raised his voice, but he still had a way of making you do whatever he said. Jaime sighed and laid his head down on the desk with his arms around his head.

Brienne looked over to him, rolled her eyes and then bent over to open her backpack. She figured she could do her homework if she was going to be stuck here for another hour. By the time she sat back up again with her math book Jaime Lannister had hopped over the desk separating them and was sitting with his chin in his hand facing her.

"What?" Brienne whispered sitting her math book down and opening it.

"What on earth did you do to get in here?" Jaime asked curiously.

"It was a misunderstanding." Brienne said simply.

"What a coincidence, that's why I'm in here." Jaime grinned. Brienne looked over to him, giving him a look that told him she didn't believe him. Everyone knew why Jaime Lannister was in detention, he had been in there for almost a month. He had been caught pulling a prank on Robb Stark. Honestly, the boy had it under control but his mother just happened to be looking for him and now Jaime Lannister had detention for a month. No one really disliked Mrs. Stark, but never cross her; she was a stickler for the rules. Of course, it wasn't as if it was Jaime's first offence. Most of the school's officials were on edge around him ever since last football season.

Jaime was known more for basketball, but he played football on his off-season. Whether it was out of jealousy or just the heat, no one really knows, but during a game of touch football, Jaime tackled the captain to the ground. He ended up getting a concussion, and breaking his arm. He was out for the season and Robert Baratheon took over as captain. Jaime on the other hand had been suspended for the reason the season.

"I bet it is." Brienne said simply and took out her pen to start to focus on her homework instead of the blonde idiot beside her. Jaime sighed and leaned back into his chair again, his hands going behind his head. Brienne had learned a while ago that if you ignore Jaime Lannister long enough he gives up trying to keep your attention. Sometimes she liked it, the way he gave her a cheeky grin or even just talked to her, Jaime Lannister had a way of treating everyone the same even if he didn't treat everyone the best he could; at least it was all the same.

"Can I borrow a piece of paper?" Jaime whispered after a few minutes. Brienne looked over to him and then ripped a sheet from her notebook and handed it to him.

"Thanks, can I borrow a pen?" He asked. Brienne sighed; she hated giving out her pens. She reached into her backpack and gave him one that was almost out of ink anyways, "Thanks." He said after and she didn't hear from him for a few minutes after that.

She had her eyes on her textbook when she saw the ripped piece of paper slide under her arm on the desk. Her brow creased and she leaned back to pick the piece of paper up and unfold it under the desk. Written in neat handwriting was a simple sentence "Want to ditch?"

Brienne read it and then read it again before looking over to Jaime, her brow creased. The idea of ditching hadn't even occurred to her, and the idea that Jaime Lannister would want to ditch with her was even further from her mind. "Why?" Brienne whispered back to him, to which she only got a shrug. Brienne looked back down at the note and then noticed Jaime had pulled his cellphone out under his desk. Her eyes widened and she looked towards Mr. Bolton who was reading his newspaper. "Stop it." She whispered back to Jaime.

He pressed a button and then grinned at her, "Opps, too late."

Brienne didn't know what was coming. She stayed silent and forced her eyes to stay on her textbook. Jaime wasn't getting up so she assumed they weren't just going to get up and leave. Around ten minutes later, a blonde freshman boy hurried into the room.

"What do you want, Frey?" Mr. Bolton asked looking up.

"The girl's bathroom's overflowed." The boy told him, keeping the door open. Mr. Bolton slammed his paper down and stood up.

"What do I look like, a Janitor?" Mr. Bolton snapped as the freshman hurried into the hall and Mr. Bolton after him.

"Come on, let's go." Jaime told Brienne as he stood up, throwing his messenger bag over his shoulder.

"How'd…did you get that kid to do that?" Brienne asked, her brow creased.

"He's my cousin." Jaime shrugged starting down the aisle between the chairs, "You coming or not?" He asked.

"I'm fine." Brienne said simply and looked back down at the book.

"Suit yourself." Jaime smiled and then headed for the door. The thing was, Brienne hadn't really thought he was going to leave, she figured he was bluffing. And if he was really planning on leaving he'd get caught and then he'd get in trouble and it was almost baseball season; Jaime Lannister needed to not play so many sports and be good in them on top of his rebellious tendencies.

"Jaime!" Brienne said loudly as she stood up, stuffing her book into her bag.

"You better hurry!" Jaime grinned and then took off out of the room. Brienne groaned and zipped her bag up and ran after him. Jaime was turning around the corner of the hall by the time Brienne caught up to him and he was nearing the side exit.

"Jaime!" Brienne shouted again as he ran through the door and she followed after him.

"We'll have to take your car." Jaime called as he continued to the parking lot. "My sister took mine." He added; that must have been what the conversation before detention was about. Jaime was halfway through the parking lot when Brienne walked straight to her car and got in. He spun around, spotted her getting in her car, and ran over to the car. He slid over the hood of the car parked next to hers and then got in the passenger side of her car.

She started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, and it wasn't until she pulled out onto the main street that she realized what she had just done. She was skipping detention. She was going to get in even more trouble. She had promised Mrs. Stark that she would take the sentence and then they wouldn't think about it again and everything would be okay. What on earth was she doing? And why was she doing it with Jaime Lannister?

"Turn right." She heard him tell her, she glanced over to him and then did so.

"Where are we going?" She asked looking over to him again. Jaime turned and reached back into the backseat and then sat up straight, holding Brienne's basketball on his lap.

"The park," He grinned.
