A/N Sorry about not having a disclaimer in the last chapter. I hope no lawyer types come after me (hint-hint).

Chapter 2

A week after the cops and robbers game, Angela and Tempe were waiting at the bus stop when Seeley and his Mom walked up. Mrs. Booth smiled at the girls and kissed her son.

Then she turned around and walked back to her house.

Tempe noticed that Seeley was wearing his FBI baseball cap again. She told him they weren't allowed to wear hats in school, but he could wear it on the bus. When the bus pulled up, Angela and Tempe took the first open seat they saw. Seeley followed them and took the seat across the aisle.

At the next stop, 3 people got on. One boy who looked about their age and 2 older kids, a boy and a girl. The older boy walked up to Seeley and grabbed his hat. Seeley jumped up and started screaming for his hat back. They older boy just laughed. He looked down at

Seeley and sneered, "You're in my seat kid. What's your name anyway?"

I'm not scared of him. Seeley thought this, but what he said was, "S-Seeley Booth."

The girl behind the older boy laughed. "Ha, he's Seeley and you're Sully." She found it quite funny, though no one else did.

"Cam, knock it off." Sully ordered. He looked back at Seeley and gestured for him to get up. Then he said, "Well Seeley Booth, I think I'm going to call you Booth." He tossed the hat into another seat. Seeley ran to get it, dusted it off, and sat down in the seat.

He looked over at the boy sitting next to him. "I can sit here, right?" He asked worriedly.

"Of course. I'm Jack Hodgins." He said, holding out his hand like a grown up.

"Thanks. I'm…" He almost said Seeley, but he liked the way Booth sounded better. "I'm Booth."

"Nice to meet you Booth." Replied a smiling Jack.

At school, Booth followed Tempe and Angela to the first grade rooms. He stopped in the middle of the 4 rooms and realized that he had no idea where to go. He asked a teacher what to do. "I'm new." He told her. "I don't know where to go."

She told him to go to the front office. "I don't know where that is either." He replied.

The teacher looked around and saw Tempe standing at her cubby. She walked up to her and asked,

"Can you show this young man where the front office is?"

Tempe looked up and replied, "Sure."

She put her book down and gestured for Booth to follow her. As they were walking they began to talk. Tempe reminded Booth that he had to take off his hat. He took it off and brushed it off lovingly. Then he put it in the front pocket of his back and green backpack.

She asked him why he wore it so much.

"My dad gave it to me before he left to go undercover in France six months ago. He works for the FBI. He can't risk blowing his cover so we can't talk much. The last time I talked to him was 2 months ago. I heard him talking to my mom though. I was supposed to be cleaning my playroom but I was really listening to them talking on the phone. He said his cover might have been blown and he told us to move here so that his enemies couldn't find us. We haven't heard from him since then."

Tempe wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say so she just kept on walking.

When they got to the office, Booth looked a little nervous so Tempe offered to go in with him. He nodded, a little embarrassed that he was so nervous.

When he was called in, the principal asked why he was there. Booth tried to say that he was new, but the words got stuck in his throat.

Tempe came to his rescue. "He's new here and he doesn't know where to go."

"Ah, you must be Seeley Booth." He said with an understanding smile.

"Yes sir." Booth whispered.

"This is you first year at a regular school, correct?" He asked, looking over the desk at the 2 small figures sitting in one of the wooden chairs.

"Yes sir." Booth said, even more quietly than before. The interview went on like this for about 20 minutes. The principal would ask a question and Booth would answer more quietly each time.

When they finally figured out that he was in Tempe's homeroom, they headed back to class. When they got back, the class was halfway through silent reading time. Tempe grabbed her book and sat down next to Angela on the reading carpet.

Booth grabbed a book off the shelf and looked for a place to sit. He saw Jack Hodgins sitting off to the side alone. He went and sat next to him. Jack looked up and smiled.

Booth was about to ask him a question when he spotted the teacher coming over to him.

She asked him to come with her and then did the same to Tempe.

She took them out into the hallway and asked how Booth's first day was going. He said that is was fine. The teacher then asked if Tempe would be his buddy. She though about saying no, but Booth was nice and looked like he could use a buddy for a few days so she agreed.

When they got back into the room, the rest of the class had broken up into small groups.

Angela and Jack were standing off to one side and looked relieved to see Tempe and Booth. Since they were the only ones left, they formed a group.

Angela filled them in on what they were doing, but Tempe wasn't paying attention. She was too busy looking at Booth's gorgeous brown eyes.

Mommy always said when she first saw Daddy she looked into his eyes and fell in love. I wonder if that's what's happening to me. She thought.

She hoped so.

A/N I'm not going to post another chapter until I get 3 reviews.
