Update! OMG! Did y'all see Bones last night? I thought the beginning with Brennan and Daisy was hilarious! Didn't you? XD Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter Six: Secrets

Brennan sat outside the school, reading a book, secretly waiting for Booth to get out of football practice so they could walk home together. She was wearing a too big hoody and a pair of ripped jeans and her hair had been kept natural and wavy that morning, curling around her shoulders. It was finally officially Fall and leaves fell around her as she read her book and she basked in it. Fall meant shorter days and longer nights, so she would be able to stay out longer and not have to worry about reapplying her sunscreen.

Today was one of those days. It was only five thirty pm and the sun was already beginning to set and Brennan watched it, wishing that Booth could be there with her.

As if on cue, Brennan felt a pair of arms wrap around her from behind and she jumped, turning towards the figure and baring her fangs.

"Hey!" Booth said, in mock horror. "Relax, Bones! It's just me."

Brennan instantly relaxed upon seeing Booth, still in his football jersey, a particularly bad bruise on his cheek. She reached up and touched it gently. "What happened?" she asked when he flinched at her touch.

Booth shook his head. "Nothing important." he said, running his hand through her hair and kissing her gently on the lips. Brennan pulled away.

"Booth," she whispered, urgently, looking around to make sure no one had seen his little act of affection. "What are you doing?"

Booth gave her a confused look. "Uh, kissing my girlfriend?" he said, unsure.

Brennan furrowed her brow. "You can't. Not here. Someone might see!"

Booth sighed. "I know, but we can't exactly do it anywhere else and I can't not kiss you." he whined.

Brennan frowned. "I know how you feel but in our society, this kind of relationship is looked down upon-"

"So?" Booth asked, wrapping his arms tighter around around her. "I don't care what anybody thinks, and neither should you."

"I don't, but this could get us killed. And I don't want anything to happen to you. I could never live with myself."

"Me too. But I really want to be with you." Booth said.

"You are with me." Brennan said, softly, stroking his cheek, "you're always with me, and someday, hopefully soon, we can let everybody know it. But, for now, it has to be our secret."

"I hate secrets." Booth said, taking his arms from around her.

A tear fell down Brennan's cheek. "So do I."

Booth wiped the tear away and stood up, helping her up as well. "Come on," he said, "I'll walk home with you. But keep a safe distance, just in case, alright?" Brennan nodded and put her book in her book bag, then began to walk down the street, with Booth a little behind her, looking back at her boyfriend every few seconds and sending him a sweet smile.

As they walked down the street, three figures stood watching them from behind a nearby tree. The three girls glowered at the secret couple, especially at Brennan, who, to them, was an outsider, and didn't deserve someone like Booth. As far as they were concerned, she didn't even deserve to live. And they were going to make sure her time on this Earth was over soon.

Yeah, this is a filler chapter and it's short, but I wanted you guys to see where our fave couple stands in this story and there has to be a sense of danger in it. You see? Anyways, please REVIEW!
