Chapter 1 : New Arrival

The parking lot was still empty as she walked across the blacktop towards Hamilton High School. Temperance Brennan knew that it was best to show up extra early on the first day in order to find the main office. Otherwise people tend to notice you walking around clueless and she didn't need any more help being dubbed a freak. Brennan had done this plenty of times before to know that this new school would not be any different than the others.

Slowly making her way down the hallway Brennan noticed the lockers were covered in flyers advertising Homecoming. This only reminded her even more of how she was starting school late and everyone would know she was a foster kid. To make matters worse the homecoming football game was against Chandler High School their main rival, also known as Brennan's old school.

Finally finding the main office, Brennan opened the door and walked in. She approached the main desk, seeing a young man going through a filing cabinet behind the it.

"Hi, I'm new and was wondering if I could get my schedule." Brennan called to him.

Without even bothering to look up, he responded. "Yea, I don't work here, so not my problem."

Slightly taken aback Brennan walked around the desk to confront him. She was not someone you wanted to mess with and this guy was clearly a total jerk.

"What exactly are you doing?" She moved to cross her arms, but the boy quickly tossed papers into her hands.

"If you're going to interrogate me, you might as well make yourself useful. Start going through those papers and look for the name –"

"Seeley Booth!"

They both turned towards the door Brennan had entered not only a minute ago. Standing there was a man who Brennan assumed was the principal. He turned to her.

"And you…I don't know who you are. What is your name?"

"Temperance Brennan, sir." Too shocked to say anything else.

"The new student we're expecting. Figures you would be a trouble maker. What is this, your fourth school?"

"Fifth actually." She piped in, not realizing that it might sound as though she were talking back to the principal.

"That's it! Unless you two have a good reason for going through the school's detention sheets, you are both facing multiple detentions."

A voice came from behind the principal. "Actually, Mr. Gardner, I sent them in to retrieve one of the detentions sheets I gave yesterday. I realized that I was in the wrong and decided to revoke the detention. These two were walking by my classrom, I believe Seeley was giving Temperance a tour, and I asked the to get it for me."

Mr. Gardner reluctantly turned back to Booth and Brennan. "Fine, you are dismissed. However, I will be watching you two."

Brennan stood there stunned, only moving when Booth tugged her out of the office.

She couldn't believe it! Never had she gotten in trouble with a teacher, let alone the principal! She was furious that that baboon had gotten her so close to getting a detention, wait, multiple detentions!

Turning to give Booth and earful, Brennan found him giving her a full blown smile.

"Wow that was so close. I'm going to have to thank Mr. Laint for that." He paused seeing the look on her face. "What?"

"Honestly!?! I only went in there to get my schedule and you nearly landed me in detention! And I don't even know who you are."

He held out his hand "Seeley Booth."

Brennan just stared at his hand and turned to go back into the office to get her schedule.

She came out five minutes later with her schedule and a map of the building. Sighing, Brennan tried to decipher where her first class was, but couldn't make heads or tails of the map she was given. It looked as though it were drawn by a three year old.

"Want me to finish giving you that 'tour' we were on when Mr. Laint asked us to run the errand?"

Looking up from her papers, Brennan saw Seeley Booth leaning up against the wall waiting for her.

"Could you just tell me where D-132 is?" She really didn't want to have to get a tour from this guy. He obviously thought way too highly of himself. Probably a jock, Brennan thought to herself.

"You sure?" He flashed her a charming smile.

At this point people were starting to fill the hallway and all Brennan wanted to do was get to her first classroom before they noticed her.

"Fine, but just show me where my homeroom is. Nothing else."

"I'll take what I can get." He smiled and lifted his eyebrows at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Which from me, is probably only two more words."

"Huh?"

She stopped and pointed up at the sign next to the door that read D-132. "Bye Booth"

And with that she walked through the door and left a speechless Booth standing in the hallway.
