The boys smiles faded as mine only grew,

"Hey Booth I think you've got something on your shirt, looks like lunch to me." He was Steaming,

"JACK!" I turned around and whispered to jack,

"Let me handle this."

"Hey Booth."

"Don't you hey me missy I thought I said no experiments!"

"It's not their fault I made them bring me." He didn't buy it, "I did they said they needed to work on an experiment and told me to wait with Angela I told them that they were taking me and forced them to bring me."

"Ha yeah like an 18 year old girl can force a 27 year old mad to do anything." I cocked and eyebrow at him and rolled up my sleeves,

"You want to make a bet?" He closed the gap between us,

"Yeah I do." The fire that burned his eyes burned ten times greater in me. This is exactly what I wanted a challenge. Someone to fight with.

"One thing. My rules."

"Alright. So how do you want to do this kid?" He seemed so sure of himself, "You want to try and beat me in a game of basketball or something." I smirked at his confidence,

"Boxing." he seemed stunned, "What can't box that well?" I knew that was a lie I saw the trophies in his office.

"No just make sure you can keep up kid." We made or way to the local boxing ring with Jack and Zach behind us. Booth was strapping on his helmet and gloves and looked at me, "Why aren't you ready yet kid?"

"You agreed my rules."

"Yeah I did, now come on get ready." I put my fists up,

"My rules." He smirked at my confidence,

"Alright. Alright." He took the gloves and the helmet off. "Lets go." He threw the first punch which I dodged easily and then I threw my own right hook and hit him square in the jaw. He seemed taken back by my hit,

"Come on Big Bad show me what you got." He got up and tried to hit me but i was just to fast and gave him a right cross to the jaw. "COME ON!" He came at me again and this time managed to get me in the jaw, my lip bleeding ever so slightly, "That all you got?" He came at me again and I blocked him and sent a blow into his gut then into his jaw. I was getting angry. Angry that no one ever gave me any credit for anything. Angry that everyone thought of me a weak and stupid child. Angry that I was alone. I let my anger out on Booth. I knew I shouldn't have but he egged me into it.

~~~~~~~~~~~Booth pov~~~~~~~~~
CRAP! This little 18 year old girl was beating the crap out of me in front of Jack and Zach! I'm tough but good grief I can hardly lay a hand on her. She's fighting for more than just a challenge. She's really angry about something. I was going to have to talk to her later about it, but right now I need to end this before we both end up broken and bruised.

~~~~~~Alex pov~~~~~~~
I stopped seeing how Booth was done fighting. I had let my anger go too far. Booth had a nice bruise on his face and his lip was bleeding. I looked at Jack and Zach who were staring at me in pure shock.

"See, I told you I made him bring me." I was stupid, I was just being smart and I knew it. I got up and went into the bathroom and got a wet paper towel and grabbed the first aid kit in the gym. I sat down in front of Booth and threw him the paper towel, "Here, wipe your mouth then put this on it." He looked at me like I was nuts,

"Is this supposed to be an apology?" I could feel my blood begin to boil,

"look I'm just trying to be a good sport and be nice ok! You don't want my help fine, I'll be in the car." I got up and left and made my way to the black SUV. I climbed inside the vehicle and shut the door.

~~~~~~~~Booth pov~~~~~~~~~~
YOU IDIOT! Way to blow it. You can't keep your mouth shut you sore looser. Gosh I was in for one heck of a night trying to get this kid to talk.

"Um Booth."

"What do you want Zach."

"Did you give Alex your car keys."

"No, why?"

"Because it appears that-"

"Dude she just hijacked your car."

"WHAT?" I jumped to my feet and ran to the front door. Sure enough she was pulling away in my car. I grabbed my phone and dialed her number,

"Hello?"

"YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"

"Why? So you can dump me on somebody else? NO WAY!" She hung up the phone.

"Dude this girl is cool, tell me she's going to stick around."

"No, she's not. She thinks I'm going to dump her on somebody else."

"Are you?" I looked at Zach and then I realized something. After today I was going to do exactly that, but now how could I?

"No, I'm not. Come one. I got to find her."
