"Hey," He called out after her but she either didn't hear him or ignored him thinking he was friends with the guy. Of course for all he knew, he was the guy's best friend but that didn't matter.
"Hey," He gently stopped her by her shoulder.
"What?" She asked plainly.
"Uh, what's your name?" He couldn't believe that this was Bones, his Bones.
"Why?"
"Because you…intrigue me," he smiled big.
"Temperance," She said looking down.
"That is a nice name. My name is Seeley but you can call me Booth."
"Alright, well not to be rude Booth but you aren't exactly the nicest guy so what do you want?"
"Wait a minute. Not the nicest guy? Why?"
"Well for starters, you always tease me and laugh when I drop my books or something."
"Oh well…Im sorry about that. That's a pretty mean thing to do."
"Yeah, that's not the half of it but I really don't have the time to discuss anything further. Bye." She walked past him and he watched her walk away.
The next day, the only reason he got out of bed quickly and got dressed even quicker was so he could talk to Bones.
He arrived at school to find her sitting in the library writing something. He sat down beside her and she sighed.
"Now what?"
"Look, I just wanted to apologize for being an insensitive jerk this past week."
"You feel better?"
"Not a bit. What are you writing?" She looked at him, "Sorry," he said backing down.
Then he had an idea.
"You know, I have never told anyone this but my dream is to be an FBI agent and you know who I want my partner to be? A forensic anthropologist. I know, weird combination," by now, he saw her raising her head and he couldn't help but smile a little while he talked, "and most people don't even know what an anthropologist does but-"
"I do."
"You do?" He asked trying to act surprised.
"Yeah, of course, they identify human remains which are basically only bones. I want to be one."
"Really? No way!" He said.
"Yeah and…this is going to sound weird but I am thinking of writing a novel about a forensic anthropologist and an FBI agent."
"That is so weird."
"I concur." He laughed to himself. The same old Bones, the Bones he loved and couldn't get enough of but still, something things never change.
"So, what are you doing later?" He asked, hands in his pockets pretty much teetering back and forth.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I was wondering if you wanted to do something."
"Like…a date?" She asked.
"Yeah, I mean if…if you want."
"I don't mean to seem mean but I can't exactly put a lot of trust into you or you not setting me up for something bigger."
"I know, and I know you won't take my word for it but I promise to never hurt you again. You don't have to come but if you do decide to come, Ill meet you on at the school."
She nodded, "Seeley Booth, in a library? That's the highlight of the day, the year even," Said the librarian.
"Hey, Ill have you know, I come in here often."
"Oh, Temperance, honey, well is this guy bothering you?"
Bones laughed a little, "No, no it's alright, thanks."
"Okay but if you need me to, Ill," the librarian went in close and whispered something in her ear causing her to laugh.
"Wont be necessary," Bones said smiling.
"What won't be necessary? Im a little scared now."
"Nothing, so what time should I go if I go?"
"8?"
"Alright, Ill maybe see you there." She smiled and walked off.
