Chapter Four
It was that time of morning once again for Temperance. She fought against the craving of sleep her eyes wanted and quickly moved herself out of bed pilling on the clothes she had decided on the night before.
As she headed downstairs 10minutes before she meant to leave she allowed herself to quickly have a few spoonfuls of her cornflakes and allow the milk to moist her throat before heading out to school.
She began walking down the road when she heard a voice shout her name. Instantly she felt insecure wondering which girl had found out where she lived or who was about to make her life more difficult than it already was.
"Temperance, its Booth" he shouted at her again, realising he had shocked her by the sharp movements as she searched 360 degrees around her.
She sighed softly before he ran further to catch up with her as she carried on walking along.
"I made you jump didn't I?" he had that boy amazement of fear and loved it, though he'd never intensionally do it to a girl.
"No" she replied almost without a second of him questioning her. "I was just lapsed in time and the voice was something i had heard before" she carried on.
"So I made you jump?" he laughed seeing her cheeks turn a darker shade of red and a smile appear through her constant frown.
"Come on, time to stop thinking we're gonna be late" Booth gently pulled her onto the right direction of the path watching as she began walking alongside him, making sure they were no closer than the perimeter she had imaginably put around herself.
As they quickly arrived at the gates, people around them stood were looking upon them sharply, their small mouths opening and discussing the two unlikely pairing being together. Temperance knew she shouldn't have spoke to him, yet alone walk into school stood next to him, she knew what people were like, cruel and horrible and she also knew she needed to be hidden from harm's way not put straight into the middle of it.
"Temperance, stop worrying. It's fine" Booth whispered near her, not wanting the ears that were listening to them to hear what they were saying.
"It's not fine Booth, people are looking, and from what I've read when people are looking they have a reason too, and they should have no reason to acknowledge my existence. I am not a special person, I am a regular young teenager" She carried on, her talking pace building as she became more passionate and more faces began staring.
"Just calm down" Booth slightly raised his voice, as the crowds gathered, he saw his girlfriend standing alongside her best friends looking very unimpressed towards him, her eyes killing his own brain cells from the anger they processed. While his distraction was done he noticed Temperance had ran out of the crowds and was hidden where she liked to be, somewhere no one else could find her.
As she began walking around in the hidden small broken room next to the toilet entrance she realised it was once a classroom and that it had been in the process of being took down but they must had stopped. She noticed movement in the corner of the brickwork and walked carefully over preparing herself for anything.
"Hello?" she called out shyly, seeing a young girl resembling the same age as her stand up, she saw in her hands a paintbrush covered in a pink coloured paint and small pieces of paper tied together. She clutched onto the items as if they were going to be stolen.
"Oh hello, my name's Angela" the girl soon changed her tone when she realised Temperance would not be a threat to her, and moved closer to the new girl and realised who she was.
"Temperance" she nodded, before looking around the area, wondering why a girl who had so much talent was stuck here, she had seen the art rooms located on site and noticed how bad some of the artwork produced there was compared to the few pieces of paper Angela had in front of her now.
"You're the girl who stood up to Lucy in the corridor yesterday right?" Angela knew she recognised her face.
Temperance shyly nodded. She wasn't proud of how much she was getting noticed because of this one event.
"I wish I could have done that. I've always wanted to do more" Angela silently confessed, she didn't like being mean but people like Lucy made being mean seem appropriate and war seem correct.
"I didn't do anything. I simply stated she wasn't the alpha male in this situation and that she would never have these qualities she so desired" Angela didn't have a clue what Temperance was saying but nodded before ushering her out and into the school area before walking off with her, linking her arm into hers.
"Have you ever seen the guys play football during 1st period?" Angela giggled, her teenage side becoming apparent to Temperance.
"No, I don't think I have" With that Angela speed up walking towards the sports facility not wanting her friend to miss anything.
